I live for Shadows.. Just grabbed a 96% Shadow Dratini now working hard for its shiny and Gengar/Rhyperior/Chandelure shadows that are 96%+.. Have over 16,000 battles on and going hard for em! Thanks Billy as always great vid
Appreciate you keeping us abreast on a variety of things. Tough to keep on everything, sure it helps you also by staying up to date. I didn't even realize the added more bag space this week, so that was an instant purchase. I really like the way you presented each grunt's (and leader's) encounters, nice way to look at the potential mon.
They need to either nerf the rate of alola geodude or take it out completely. It should not be that common when you have Cranidos and Shieldon in it as well. Then the one time I get a Cranidos I get the second option anorith as a reward. Similarly they need to do something with fire and Litwick almost nonexistent. Vulpix and Numel are far too common in that.
Man this thing with the cranidos happened to me and I was so mad lol, In the first 2 rock type grunts I managed to get shadow cranidos and I had a dry 10+ but then I managed to find one and I got the second reward anorith 💀 PS: I didn't find another shadow cranidos since then.
Think I only ever seen the Shadow Gible one, one time and that is it I usually check to see what rockets are available but never run into the dragon one in quite sometime
I haven't run into the dragon one since Halloween, which ended up being the shadow A.Exeggutot. my best shadow Gible is a 11/14/13. I want one with the minimum 13IVs across, but if I get a 15/14/14 or 13 I'll power that up for ML. I might end up purifying it for a Hundo because I don't have one.
I have a 15/8/15 cranidos. Bettter then all my rhyperiors. does rampardos do better with dodging and taking more time for fast attacks vs Rypherior not dodging for the damage energy instead of fast energy? They both seem close. with dodging vs not dodging, which one is best?
problem with purification badge is that at the bare minimum it costs 1 million stardust to complete that badge, you can max out 2 Pokémon + level up another halfway with that amount of stardust. I rather don't waste that for purification.
Heads up to those looking for pvp info. The pvp charts are inaccurate. They are based on the previous season and the rankings and some movesets have changed (see whiscash for example who now runs scald, not blizzard).
Barboach is also 1000 dust to purify :p so the water grunt is a pleasure to get. 2 meta relevant (and fairly cheap) mons, a spicy mon with psyduck, and 2 1k purify cost mons.
Did the raise the stardust cost to purify Pokémon, because I don’t get a single 1,000 stardust Pokémon to purify anymore. I have been getting all 3,000 and up
Sadly shadow gible is so hard to get, amazing attacker for both ground and dragon but damn finding this dragon grunt is impossible, only got like 3 and Im hunting team go rocket grunts and leaders like maniac.
well, I abounded Cliff as I did a million and did NOT get the shiny! I did get a 96% one, so there you have it, I did get a 96% belstrout so Arlo is not relevant as well, and I got the hundo Sebely, but I don't have the shiny (yet)
Only encountered 1 Shadow Gible 😅 it doesn't matter for the dragon Catagory since I have 4 Lvl 40 Shadow Dragonites prepped, still gonna try hunt them down for the Ground Typing attacker
I have been playing, pretty consistently, and have only gotten 1 ryhorn, 2 Gible... def disappointing Oh, and of course, the shadow IVs are all atrocious.
Since terakion raid hour. I haven't 'gone out' to play except for a quick 10min local daily raid then back home. but i only do that 10min of play for the free daily raid maybe twice a week.... i do ALMOST every balloon though. 3-4 per day. Got a HUNDO litwick the other day. just from not much more play then just loggin in and doing balloons, daily buddy hearts and ocassional daily balloons. raid days if meta and 100% keen for blissey com day! Don't remember a comday i did last though. i still have a hundo shadow salamance i bought a radar for EVERY balloon for three months for, hundo shadow chandalure just randomly for christmas #ThanksNiantic, 15/14/14 excadrill on rayquaza raid day (I dont actually remember the event, i just went for reys). a 98% salamance, 93% salamce. (I spent way to much on arlo's bagons! #WorthEveryCent). i mainly play at home and do gbl. daily gifts etc... People complain pokemon can't be played if at home. set your clocks people. i play sparsely for HOURS per day and never leave my home. 2 shadow hundos and many good ones for teams.
Does anyone actually grind perfect IVs for PVP? I've caught 14k pokemon and barely found any. At this point I've just invested into pokemon with the best CP and reasonable IVs.
100%ivs are for master league as there is no cp cap. That being said not all mons can level up in those high cp ranges In order for some normal great league mons to play un ultra league, you have to find 98% or 100% ivs that have the highest max cp to get them in ultra league cp range. Although depending on what they are they may be a little bit glassy considering all that attack IV is a big contribution to the cp
My base team for ALL rocket members are Melmetal and Garchomp. For grunts my third team member is whoever my buddy id. For all 4 leaders the third member is Scrafty.. Lineup for leaders is Garchomp, switch immediatelt to Scrafty to bring down shields and anchor with Melmetal. Scrafty is so overlooked in battles but he recharges fast and I have even beat Sierra's team with just Scrafty. Peersonal opinion is Mewtwo is utterly useless and not worth the hype.
This is why beginners are put off by it. I started playing casually, and TR always uses pokemon with high CP. I nvr win any cus my highest CP pokemon is only 1020. TR always uses 3-4k CP. I uninstall it , and just play Palworld.
This was way too rushed and mumbled, I could barely understand anything. If I have to watch it twice to understand it, why not just take your time and make it clear. Keep the rushed mumbling for the outro.
The most annoying thing is when you finally find the ONE grunt you are looking for and you end up with the second pokemon.
I swear keep getting the second people it piss me off
Yep especially the rock grunt I have never got the shadow cranidos
That shadow cranidos mocks me because the one time I got him, I got the second one
Yeah, it's great getting rhyhorn 1st and 2nd to guarantee not getting shafted
Wonder if there’s a method to g egg t either Mon, people say it’s just random but I feel as if it should be a way to get a certain one. Idk

Billy over here acting like you can actually find the Gible one... lol
I’ve found it, only like 3 times ever tho 😂
Lol, I've found a few
Super rare to find and even when I do its 0 star if I’m lucky 1* 🤦♂️
2 encounters since it's debut
I've found 2

It’s 100% like that on purpose to limit how likely you are to get a good IV shadow of those desirable mons, keeps people playing.
10:29 steel gunt it gives metang too!
I got a 14 14 14 Shadow Dratini like 4 days ago!

I found a shadow gible and belsprout last night but it was between 2-3am at the time. I've never gotten either during the day

How do I get a miktank? Female Taurus

Where do you get those ranking charts from?
It's from gamepress.
Can u make a vedio on the lastest of grunts which r for shadow kyrogre
I do have hundo shadow dragonite, joltik and rhyhorn...now i work on joltik and rhyhorn XL candy as both need 360 XL
Hi, newbie here (lvl 31)! I was wondering why I cant find Giovanni? I only get normal radars
I stopped playing for like 5 months are we still protesting or can we start to buy remote raids passes?
Did the raise the stardust cost to purify Pokémon, because I don’t get a single 1,000 stardust Pokémon to purify anymore. I have been getting all 3,000 and up
Should i evolve my 15/10/12 shadow gible?
I love hunting for shadow Shinys especially meta-relevant ones
Thanks again Billy for theses.
Sadly shadow gible is so hard to get, amazing attacker for both ground and dragon but damn finding this dragon grunt is impossible, only got like 3 and Im hunting team go rocket grunts and leaders like maniac.
I've only seen it once, but it yielded me a 98%iv shadow garchomp. Maxed lvl 51 best buddy
Only encountered it once and it was quite bad ivs but i evolved anyway cus I’ll probably never find another
@@zzpeepeepoopoo88 Man that's insane, I would do the same honestly.
How well is a shadow Snorlax?
I have a 93% Shadow Garchomp at Lvl 40 that I gave an Elite TM for Earth Power and it just destroys.
What's the IVs on your Garchomp shadow?
@@andreacruz42069 14/15/13
Shiny bell sprout isn’t normal! I constantly get those. Didn’t know it was uncommon 😊 as well as shiny shadow neowth.
I've only seen 2 Cranidos grunts and both times I got the 2nd slot pokemon 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Love the shines and pvp value!! 10 shines!! Need more hahahah have 1 Shando !! Nidoqueen
I missed a shadow snorlax… and a raid reshiram😪 rip today wasn’t my day but I got a galerian moltres today😭😭
I keep hunting the grunt 'giovanni', but no lucky with bellsprout shiny
I got a 100% regigigas about a weak ago is it of any use?
Nvm, I just watched the video
Shadow belsprout is rare?? I got like 7 of it in a week... am I missing something??
I have seen more shadow Bellsprouts from grunts than Cranidos grunts or shadow gible grunt.
What website do you use to get that spreadsheet on top type dps?
Gamepress
How long will these be in the shadow grunts like when does it change next does anyone know ?
They usually change each rocket takeover
Pretty sure January is when theres gonna be another rocket event
I got an shadow shiny bellsprout, is it rare?
Relatively yeah
well, I abounded Cliff as I did a million and did NOT get the shiny! I did get a 96% one, so there you have it, I did get a 96% belstrout so Arlo is not relevant as well, and I got the hundo Sebely, but I don't have the shiny (yet)
I got my shadow/shiny bellsprout today from leader arlo finally
I got a shiny shadow meowth a couple weeks ago
Only encountered 1 Shadow Gible 😅
it doesn't matter for the dragon Catagory since I have 4 Lvl 40 Shadow Dragonites prepped, still gonna try hunt them down for the Ground Typing attacker
anyone know how long these pokémon will stay in grunts
February-ish should be the next rocket event
I have been playing, pretty consistently, and have only gotten 1 ryhorn, 2 Gible... def disappointing Oh, and of course, the shadow IVs are all atrocious.
Still hunting a shundo dratini
Dragon grunt are rare,i just found two with bad iv.
I never get a decent shadow.

I’ve caught 5 shadow gibb and all of the are total trash what’s odd is they are all nearly identical
Same.with or without weatherboost they Are all trash 😂
Dude this is too much info I was inundated with so much information that by end of video I still didn’t know which Pokémon was the best to go after.
They would be meta relative attackers after they're purified.😂
Magnemite can also be shiny.
Shadow Magnemite cant
@@Django84it indeed can

What about the shadow raids ? Which ones can be shiny ?
You can google it.
they removed shadow shinx i was hunting the shiny for years now 😢

Because he need the Moneyyyyy😉
First
I haven't found a Dragon grunt in like, 3 months. I check every single Go Rocket stop too. It's getting annoying. I keep getting Grass and Fighting.
