Shadow Pokémon Explained | Should You Purify Your Shadow's in Pokemon Go?

Video Overview & Insights

Have you ever wondered if you should purify your Shadow Pokémon in Pokemon Go? Is one stronger than the other? The answer is quite surprising!

What’s your best Shadow Pokemon?

— @ourradiantgaming

Capturing shadow Pokemon isn't all that difficult. You fight a Team Go Rocket grunt or leader floating around in a balloon or hanging out at a PokeStop.

Once you capture the Shadow Pokemon, you have the option to leave it with the purple aura and red eyes, or purify it. In this video, I explain the benefit of both! 😃

I got a 100% shadow ho-oh😛

All the shadow Pokemon I have can’t change their frustration attack how is it good when frustration does 12 damage plus 2 for being shadow? What are IVs and how do I check them I literally looked it up and I still don’t understand

should i ppurify zubats or gastlys or grimers or pokemons like that? shadow pokemon are better for PVP or for game /????

@joelgrebinsilvestri
@

It's too bad return doesn't work the way it does in console games in PokeGo. Return sucks.

@53prime

Is there any real advantage for purified Pokemons other than raised stats? For fighting for example?

@filosofodemierda
@

I watched several videos and I truly don’t understand. Too much + and - for me to balance out if I should do it or no… I have a shadow Regigigas 1 star 934cp should I purify or no???

@albertgrigorjan9517
@

Should i purify my 3 star Moltres with 2400cp?

@danielmartyn7548
@

I didn't know that it boosted the IVs by 2 levels when you purified them. I purified my shadow Swanna earlier and I wasn't sure why it suddenly had 15 IVs in attack and HP but this explains it.

@LunaticKD1991

Am I able to transfer purified mons

@FUTA_KINTE
@

Should i purify my shadow pokemon got from giovanni as i am confused pls tell 😢

@satishagrawal067
@

I've never quite understood, is it better to go for the pokemon with better stats, or the ones with higher cp?

@ssilz
@

so the first shiny i ever got was a shadow shiny Koffing and i purified it....

@dogman6687
@

i have a 13/15/13 ho oh. so purifying to get a hundo is so tempting. what do you think?

@kalebcantrell7468
@

Ik this is a somewhat old video but if I had my apex shadow Lugia at 13/13/13 should I keep it at that or purify it to have it at a 15/15/15? Like even if it’s a 4 star IV the shadow will still be better?!

@6697carlos
@

I think I'll purify my 13/15/13 Onix, as it can megaevolve when I evolve it into Steelix. True it's stronger as a shadow than as a hundo, and Steelix has very high defense and that can make up for the defense drop "shadow status" causes, but hundo and Mega could work better. Maybe I can get a shadow Onix with even better IVs that can RULE as a shadow Steelix in the Great League.

@PokeLexgnzlz
@

Aren't shadow Pokémon a lower level tho? Sure a maxed out shadow mewtwo would be better but if you don't have candies should a 2000+ cp one be better than a 1300 purified one?

@stratosm3154
@

Hypothetically, if I have 15-15-6 before purifying, since +2 can't apply to the 1st two stats, will all three +2 apply to the 3rd stats, resulting in +2 x 3 = +6? So that will be 15-15-12? I know it sounds too good to be true but I just wanna double check

@jerryy7650
@

Do you have a video of which shadow Pokemons you would purify or not? I have a skorupi that has about the same IV either way but I want to evolve. Not sure if I should evolve in shadow form or not

@Sahn_Cho
@

good vid very helpful

@BigAlKahuna007
@

My question is should I get rid of some of these weak shadow Pokémon if they are taking up too much space? I’m a newer player and have way too many of them and it’s messing with my storage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ❤

@mrsweet4955
@

Basically, if it is high-class pokemon, that is worth keeping if low level, worth just for evolution?

@arthurkurbedzis
@

i have a 96% shadow magikarp should i purify it to get it to a hundo so i can mega evolve later, which one do u reckon is better ?

@drake2279
@

Awesome tips! I have a Shadow Machoke wit 15/14/15 stats. So tempted to purify it to get perfect IVs. But don't think I should? Hahaha I also hate that Frustration doesn't really do much damage.. :( what would u do?

@indzmasri
@

what if i get an 13-13-12 shadow charmander and i need a mega charizard? should i purify it? "allready purifyed it but nice to know haha"

@fresh4522
@

I got a shadow shiny bulbasaur and plan to turn it into venasaur when possible. I am rather new though, how do I change its attack? Any way I can find out specifics on this?

@xAsceticx
@

i have a 15/15/14 shadow abra do you think i should purify it since the mega is out?

@tiago3387
@

Still a little confused honestly, I have azelf 14 15 14, is it worth bumping that up to 4*? I honestly have like 3 or 4 pokemon I could also jump to 4*, I know people say most the time 0 15 15 is best and I agree shadow looks cooler, but something about having 4* feels amazing

@druskii90
@

Doesn't the debuff to defense counteract the buff to attack making the results to battles similar? For example, you kill him 20 percent faster but he kills you 20 percent faster. Please I have to know.

@joshuacherry1328

Hello, thanks for putting up this video. I have a question, I got a bunch of Shadow Pokémon that are zero or one stars. Are these Pokémon worth keeping simply because they are shadow Pokémon? I need to clear bag space . I was thinking of either just transferring them for the stardust or purifying for the badge then transferring. What would you recommend?

@TurtwigFan
@

Only purified when a task is needed to do so. And I have received a medal for purifying whatever that 1st amount is.

@2LadyDi
@

Good information!

@Grieffels
@

i think its just optional but one other thing is some pokemon that are shadow you absolutely should not like shadow mewtwo because since the attack is raised super high already shadow raises it more and it makes it the best pvp attacker in the game
