As a small spender I only use lucky eggs for really good events or friendship bonuses. I also prefer to save up and get the large pack o coins to maximize the free coins
I am a free to play player so I only spend pokecoins which I get from defending gyms 50 coins per day . I haven't spent a SINGLE DOLLAR in the game since I started but I grind hard everyday day so I have good amount of shiny's and hundo's from my free grind
Yeah, overall in 4 years, I have spent R2100 (130.90$) which isn't to bad for 4 years of playing, I have gotten pretty far in the game. Compared to mortal Kombat mobile which I also am a big fan of playing since last year March, I spent R4200 on mortal Kombat only in 1 year😅 So, if you think about it, Pokémon Go is alot more affordable in general than other mobile games when it comes to purchases. Also, if one is smart and goes for the cheapest option which is R7 for 100 pokecoins each and you od that 14x, you will save alot more money than when it comes to buying the huge costs for 1000coins or something Hope this helps :) Also as a fan of Pokemon Go and playing since October 2016, and as a hobby, I don't mind spending money on the game here and there for events such as egg hatching and raiding. Although, these days raiding isn't ideal for money wise as you could have done like 40 raids and still no shiny. My luck and passion recently lies in the egg hatching where I have hatched a couple of shinies which is epic so, I think these days, I am buying the ultra boxes that contain incubators for that. But I guess we all have our different ways of luck in this game e.g. wild spawns; raids; hatching etc
I have 4 shiny mewtwos 40$ in. I’ll leave it at that lol no more spending this month. Pretty much the most I’ve ever spent per month. Usually go with 20 if they have cool pokemon out. If the pokemon are boring and don’t look cool, like those Tapu pokemon, I don’t spend a penny on those.
Made this suggestion on Nick's last video: Minor suggestion..have mega Gyrados (Water/Dark) running so ya get all that extra wimpod candies...evolved 1 each day so far...WHILE...accepting Mewtwo raids to help friends...i.e. all dark moves are boosted. That way you can 3 man it (even if it's boosted) with plenty o' time left
Shiny Mewtwo odds are 1/20 2 in a row is 1/400 3 in a row is 1/8,000 4 in a row is 1/160,000 For reference rolling six 6s on a dye is 1/46,656 Incredible amount of luck but well deserved for 1 out 100 mewtwo
This event was really helpful for me because i just started out and i just got my first ever shiny yesterday (if your going to ask what the shiny was it was charmander)
Congrats man that's really rare I been hunting him all weekend and sense the event came out and I still have yet to get a shiny Charmander or squirttle or Bulbasaur and those are the ones I been mainly going for thought it would be easier getting there shiny that's way then from raiding for Blastoise venasaur and Charizard I did about 14 Charizard raids and still haven't gotten his shiny I'm gonna try again today hopefully I get one if not oh well
Back in 2021 I was on a drive for like 20 mins, not even pokemon go-ing and I hopped on after ten mins and I see a slaking nearby so I went HOLY $@#$ and then I turned around and caught it with its 3363 CP and the while I was going home a WILD DRAGONITE APPEARED ON MY STREET with 2486 cp (I now use it in U.L.)
That is insane luck! Though your video does highlight the importance of grinding for stardust. You spent 10x as much money on the $100 but didn't get 10x the amount of stardust, you got closer to 3x. Grinding is the way to go if that's the resource you need!
U Went From 0-95 Shiny Mewtwos', to 1-96, to 4-99, to 4-100, and then to +1 more!!! It's Kinda Funny U Had to Spend the Hundo for the 1-20 Odds, Basically!!! Congrats, it was a Fun Video!!!
watching you have fun is so fun man having pokemon go as a career got be even in the top most fun out of even all the kinds of video games you can play, im glad I got back into it after a few years I wish I woulda played during covid i totally could have i took a gap year from school i just forgot about it missed out on so much but these videos are fun af to watch
ive only done 2 mewtwo raids, ever. both on the same day. i got a shiny on the 1st one and a hundo on the 2nd. pretty sure i used up all my luck for the next 10 years
I have a question mystic,I am about to fight Giovanni and my team is (SNORLAX,DRAGONITE,AND SCYTHER) I thought about replacing scyther with shiny vennasuar so is that a good team pls tell me?
Ah yes, not buying the 1480 coin incubator bundle(20 incubators) but proceeds to buy 8 incubators for 1600 coins🤣 gotta love this man❤❤ thanks for the vid! Very insightful 🙏
Thanks for you content Brandon! Love the enthusiasm you bring to the game and your this vs that ideas too! As someone who hasn’t spent any money on the game I’m enjoying seeing how I hold up in comparison. On another subject entirely… Buddy functionality idea: What if for a certain amount of Km walked with a buddy, the trainer were given the ability to improve the buddy’s IVs by 1? And let’s say the Km needed were based on the rarity of the Pokémon and would multiply by 1.2x each IV gained. For example, based on the eggs the Pokémon hatch from, or the level raid needed for the reward encounter, would determine if you needed 20 (tier1), 30 (tier3), 40 (tier4) or 50Km (tier5) walked for a single IV improvement. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Charmander, they would need to walk 148.832km (round to 149) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Gible, they would need to walk 297.664km (round to 298) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Mewtwo, they would need to walk 446.496km (round to 447) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. Pros: - This would make spoofing or radar services less profitable and encourages more gameplay with the same Pokémon. - Entices player to “bond” with a single Pokémon for longer and therefore play the game more often to get the coveted 100% dex. Cons: - All players would have access to the best Pokémon if they walk enough - Pvp players would need to make sure to avoid gaining hearts walking their buddy, or not apply the “bonding” IVs earned. If you can think of any other pros/cons, reply to this comment so we can share our thoughts about the idea and maybe someone at Niantic will pick it up! Ideas welcomed and I’ll update the post accordingly. Side note: Could it be this is why Ash Ketchum’s Pikachu was so powerful? Because Ash built a string relationship with him? Second side note: friend me so we can help each other to lvl50! 6436 8135 6368
I’m at 9:15 and I’m wondering to myself…. “Didn’t he get his daily free Raid Pass?… why did he use one of his purchased Remote Raid Passes on that first Mewtwo that was so close???”
Im a usd10 player and I am very particular on using each item. 1. When i use incense, I start when im walking and mostly during special event/prolong duration. 2. Before I start my lucky egg, i plan on what to do/evolve/friendship. Usually i bundle all together. 3. Stardust only when special/boosted stardust event 4. Only raid legendary/special pokemon in raid only. Because legendary probability is higher. 5. Buy bundle/special box if all item used. The smaller ur budget, the more particular and more plan when u use ur items
I know it's not a huge difference, but in the 1st day when you unlocked the new Wimpod, you got 500 or 1000 xp for new Pokedex entry. This wouldn't really be a good marker to compare with 2nd day, but I digress. Also, 4 shiny Mewtwo in a row, that's just ridiculously amazing.
I luckily never have to worry about spending pokecoins for items because after coming back after 9 months of losing interest in the game, I came back now in June for the best time (Go Fest; Field research; Deino com day coming still; Mewtwo in raids) Reason why I don't have to worry about spending coins on items is because I have so many special Research tasks that I haven't completed still so, I can get items such as premium riad passes and pokeballs and all🤣 I only completed last year's Go Fest research after this year's Go Fest 🤣🤣 Also got a random shiny Hopip yesterday 🤩
“I don’t wanna spend 1,400 pokecoins on the adventure box” *proceeds to spend 1,400 coins on 7 incubators rather than the box with 18*
Glad it wasn’t just me baffled by that 😂
Yea that really annoyed me
Yeah ikr i was like wtf
he spent like over 2k on super incubators when he could have got 18 for less haha and other things aswell
He makes really good content, but is extremely terrible at maths fr 😂
That moment when he spent the same amount on 7 incubators as the adventure box that gives 18 lmao
It was painful to watch 🤣
@@justkrelaxin5987 very painful 😅
Exactly....i was like "What are you doing? "
That's why his stats are so low compared to other UA-camrs. Not so smart decisions. Play smarter not harder.
Doooopid 😂

As a small spender I only use lucky eggs for really good events or friendship bonuses. I also prefer to save up and get the large pack o coins to maximize the free coins
I never spend on lucky eggs bc the research always gives me as many as I need
And you still get shit I know I do the same thing but if you pay hundreds of dollars for raid passes you will get ahead in this game
I am a free to play player so I only spend pokecoins which I get from defending gyms 50 coins per day . I haven't spent a SINGLE DOLLAR in the game since I started but I grind hard everyday day so I have good amount of shiny's and hundo's from my free grind

Ayyyyye shout-out to my hometown of Kissimmee for coming through on that shiny luck for Mewtwo
passes on the 1480 coin box with 18x incubators, proceeds to buy 7x incubators with 1400 coins
yep.
My favorite part was the wind 🌬
Dude, this video was amazing! Btw, the chances of getting the 4 mewtwos is
1 / 160 000
The chucky cheese thing killed me😂
The odds of getting 4 shiny legendaries in a row are 1 in 160,000! Mystic7 is officially the luckiest man alive
That is insane luck! Though your video does highlight the importance of grinding for stardust. You spent 10x as much money on the $100 but didn't get 10x the amount of stardust, you got closer to 3x. Grinding is the way to go if that's the resource you need!
Or just do gbl if you want to get stardust quick
4:25 umm gotta spin the gym for the second free raid pass if you didn’t use the one for the day before 😂😂😂
16:24 this moment when the box costs 1480 and he pays 1400 for 7 machines :D
1:41 what happened did a helicopter pass by or something lmfao
U Went From 0-95 Shiny Mewtwos', to 1-96, to 4-99, to 4-100, and then to +1 more!!! It's Kinda Funny U Had to Spend the Hundo for the 1-20 Odds, Basically!!! Congrats, it was a Fun Video!!!

Since when was Pokémon home not free??

question, what IV's are most important in order from worst to best?
Attack obviously comes first, then Defense, and HP last or else Shadow Pokemon wouldn't have such importance.

You spent 1400 on 7 incubators but there is the adventure box that gives 18 for 1480 🤣
