This was the video, I've been waiting for, since I started to play again in December as a F2P player. Thanks a lot!

[@LuckyBunz]

You're very welcome! 😊

[@Psychopomp_]

I really appreciate these videos. Currently where I live, it's freezing cold outside and I'm unable to make use of the gym mechanic to get coins for raid passes or to go out and hunt for raids myself so I often miss out on the top tier attackers that are in raids. My girlfriend is also more of a casual player than I am so these lists are helpful to both of us since she can know what to focus on and I can trade her some good pokemon for cheap such as the trade evos. Thank you so much for your hard work.

[@LuckyBunz]

Absolutely, happy I can help! 👍

[@MrZorx]

I like using options like Feraligatr and Swampert with some Kyogre mixed in instead of just 6 Kyogre, it makes raids more fun

I can respect that, nothing wrong with a bit of variety! Most important aspect of the game is to have fun!

[@webpg87]

I caught a 2900 cp Salamance in the wild. Works great for me even with bad IV. Saves me from dumping rare candy into my rayquaza from research now that I have a good dragon

[@darylgraham4313]

Several good strategies for new players, i hope lots of them see this. Should probably point out to them that we expect gen 5 starter pokemon to eventually get good community day moves. Niantic seems to have slowed their release but it could be worth saving good ones for as they make good budget attackers.

[@JacobeeVa]

Just checking in, have they got them yet?

[@darylgraham4313]

@@JacobeeVa yes it happened for all 3 last year in 2021. If Niantic continues past patterns we can expect 2022 December community day to allow you to evolve to save the elite tm for 2021 and 2022 community day Pokemon.

I am also a returning player who hasn't played for 2,5 years and I basically missed 3 whole regions worth of Pokemon in this game. I don't even have the Meltan questline finished. This is super helpful because I'm not really into the mega evolutions and am missing a lot of the raid pokemon. Especially legendaries. I basically quit the game when it was still good to have multiple Tyranitar, Machamp and Hariyama. The level 30 baseline is really interesting. Didn't know about that.

[@Smokesides4563]

If you are on iOS download an app called pokegenie , you take a ss of the Pokémon you want to check then you run it through the app and it will tell you it’s level and what it will be if you evolve it , very good app

[@themusicaljunkie37]

My phone internet is so bad.. I hardly ever battle in GoBattle League... I am mainly focus on raids and gym take downs... All my stardust is dispensed depending on whatever counter i need at the moment. So i have near zero stardust lol. I am always looking for the best and economical counters. I am always wary that im wasting hard earned stardust on less than stellar counters.. So thank you for posting this video. Its a pretty useful guide on which counters to focus on. My end goal is to be able to defeat T5 with the bare minimum of trainers (like around 3 players imo)

Hey I got another question, should I max my squirtle cp before evolving it or does it not matter? If I don’t max it’s cp before evolving it do I lose the potential cp I coulda got for it?

[@LuckyBunz]

Nope, doesn't make a difference

[@Cowboykilla831]

@@LuckyBunz thank you very much for replying

[@matthewmcclure5210]

No but wait to power up beginner forms of Pokémon. I like to wait till I evolve them, because for me, move set is more important than IV’s. And don’t use a tm changer before you evolve them either. Since their moves change when you evolve them. That has helped me the most so far. I choose the highest level with the best move set. The stat difference doesn’t matter that much. Just a few hundred cp at max level. And power it up. So for me it is moveset > cp > stats. For pvp, it’s moveset> stats = 0/15/15> cp. reason for that is the attack stats inflates the overall cp. and it’s all about charge moves and tanking others hits. Hope that helps. Sorry it’s a month later.

[@CapicornIXVI]

Suggestion: you should add the Pokémon name or leave it as it is. I'm a beginner and Pokémon go is my first Pokémon game ever. So there's alot of thing don't know and the only solution for me is google. Some Pokémon in your video got their name changed and it's really hard to find them, I managed to find a few but I don't have any clue about the rest, I can not rely on auto translate either. So I think editing the Pokémon's name would really helpful especially for true Pokémon beginner like me

You should inform people about the prerequisites for leveling with the eeveelutions so they can use the name change at a later stage. No one told me when o started playing and I used the name trick. So now I’m stuck trying to get the original three.

Great video bro! Im not New in the game but i just have about almost 2 years playing I have about 67 pokemons lvl 40 now, with a lot of work (not spoof or something) And i can recomend the most of the pokemons you said My top 5 of pokemons absolutely necesaries on your team and easily to get candies would be: 1. Machamp 2. Rhyperior 3. Tyranitar 4. Dragonite 5. Metagross (not too easy but it worts) All of this, with just one of each,gives your an axcellent atackers to raids, pvp and gyms But if you wanna do a full team of specific one of them, thats will be the difficult thing 😅

[@alonsoreyes777]

Can you explain why u name them like that? Is it the level if so how do you check?

[@kaytlyn2244]

The percentages are it’s IV stat, which basically tells you the Pokémon’s potential. The highest a Pokémon can be is 100%, so the closer, the better. Take the Flareon at 11:00 for example: the 98% is it’s IV, and the “14A” means it’s attack is a 14/15, which is really good. You can check it’s IV, level, attack, defense, and all sorts of other things like how the Pokémon would perform in a PvP battle or a raid battle by using an app called Poké Genie. Very helpful and totally recommend. Hope this helps! 😁
