Frustration is a move that is horrendously bad and you do not want. Frustration cannot be forgotten except during special event (such as the recent rocket invasion event(to my knowledge the only event allowing you to remove the moves but I may be wrong)). The decision to purify varies from player to player and their respective play style.Įdit 2: RETURN VS FRUSTRATION: Shadow Pokémon inherently start with the move Frustration and Purified get return. Remember they get +2 to each IV stat when purified. If you want to do better in PvP, look at IVs and use an app like PokeGenie to help make a better informed decision. If you want to dominate PvE, keep shadows.
If you want the hundo since you like it, go ahead and purify! Some people like the look of purified better which is also completely fair. If you have a 13-13-13 shadow, many players will tell you to keep as shadow. If you are into collecting, like filling the perfect dex, do what you please. As I said, I normally keep my Pokémon as shadows since I want strong Pokémon.
Everyone plays the game differently so pick the way that makes you happy! I hope this guide helped anyone!Įdit: forgot to mention when to purify. I just prefer the raw damage boost and I find them more effective overall. I honestly keep all my Pokémon as shadows. But again, bulk is suggested so it’s better not to use a shadow. Only two (to my knowledge) are better purified which are Sabeleye and Wobbufett but you could make use of other purified Pokémon too. In PvP, a bit more complicated and it’s really on personal preference. In many lists, whether it be Pokebattler or Gamepress, shadows will dominate the list and even outclass mega Pokémon. WHICH SHOULD YOU PICK?: In raids, shadows are always the better option as explained above. To compensate, they lose the 20% to extra damage they had as shadows but also lose the +20% to damage received. Furthermore, they get +2 IV points for each stat upon purification. Plus, it takes less resources to further power them up and get a second move, making them far cheaper to use as compared to a regular (neither shadow nor purified) Pokémon. This saves a ton of resources on powering them up. The purified Pokémon instantly becomes a level 25. WHAT DOES PURIFYING DO: Purifying makes the shadow it’s “regular” form. In PvP, you need bulk more than attack (in most scenarios). That’s why in PvP, shadows are not regularly recommended over their non-shadow forms. Plus, to compensate for damage boost, they take extra damage. They even have an additional candy and dust costs when you invest in them. This makes them cost a lot of resources to power up and get a second charge move. They start at level 8 (or 13 during weather boost). When it comes to raiding, always pick shadow since damage is more important. They get 20% more damage which is more impactful than IVs. A 0-0-0 shadow out damages a 15-15-15 non shadow of its own variant. POSITIVES OF SHADOWS: They hit much harder than their regular forms, regardless of IVs. Shadows are the encounter (the version of the caught Pokémon) and you could purify them for a set number of candies and stardust as a cost. WHERE TO OBTAIN both are obtained exclusively from Team Rocket, whether is be from the grunts, leaders, or boss. I hope y’all find it helpful and please let me know if I missed anything in the comments.
I just wanted to make a post to highlight the advantages vs disadvantages of both so people have a better idea. Questions like “which to keep” and “which is better”, “should I purify” and other questions along those lines. A question by many, regardless of where they are in the game, is often the debate of shadow vs purified Pokémon. As we know, Pokémon Go gets tons of new players all the time.
