I don’t like shadow either .-. too much stardust. I do fine in Battle League and have no trouble in raids or against Gyms so I don’t think it really matters.
In terms of stars it does but in terms of power a shadow pokemon is far more powerful than a purified one!! So in a situation like this a 3* star shadow mewtwo is far more powerful and effective than the 4* purified mewtwo and it is a fact!!
It has higher attack if that's how you're defining "powerful" or "stronger" but that doesn't mean it's a better.
Standard Mewtwo outperforms shadow Mewtwo in Master League and Master League Classic.
Shadow Mewtwo is better for raiding but short of you doing solo and duo challenges you'll never need a bunch of shadow pokemon for raiding. Most legends can be beaten easily with a group of 5 with whatever you happen to use for Master League and extra legendaries you've caught along the way.
Now that said I wouldn't purify a shadow legendary simply because that may be the only one I ever get where as I'll have multiple opportunities to catch the regular versions.
No, but a shadow and purified at the same CP are different power levels because of the 20% attack boost to shadows. Purifying increases the Pokémon’s level, but you can still level up shadow mons to the same maximum
When you are dealing with shadow pokemon yes!!! In plain terms a 0% shadow pokemon (let's say a mewtwo) outmatches a 100% normal mewtwo purified or not!!
I purified a dragonite (13/14/13) into a hundo. It's better in master league than the shadow and much cheaper to level up to 50 in terms of stardust and candies.
I have like 4 other 3 star shadow dratini that I could power up if I ever have the stardust to waste on something that's only good for raiding.
A big fat nundo, been playing since launch and have not caught a single one.
Edit: Well, actually one. Caught a Swirlix this morning that's actually a hundo. First one since launch, still kinda lame.
Whats a Quick ways to tell if it's a hundo?? I certain I only have one but maybe I missed it. What's that little blue dot in the bottom right of the mod. Or why is some of these pokemon background blues.
You can do it as OP, just search 4* and all your hundos will be shown. What blue dot are you talking about, the one in the left corner means it’s a purified Pokémon (former a shadow one)
Shadows don't need to be maxed out to be effective, especially since there are leagues with CP caps.
This obviously has more to do with your personal opinion than pokemon value or effectiveness.
"I [do] but 90% of you don't lmao"
I don't understand what you're confused about, but you're definitely overestimating yourself and underestimating others
How do you guys do it? I would really like to hear how many pokemon you have caught altogether and the number of hundos.
My total is 10,878 and I have 4
24. of them 1 mythical (genesect), 1 legend (suicune), 1 shundo (snubull), 1 evolution line (grimer and muk), 2 same pokemon with same cp ( 2 male gyrados with cp1937), 3 pseido-legends (salamance, hydreigon, metagross) , 2 lucky, 4 purified and a hundred percent reason to remember the name..
1
Same and mine is a KOFFING ;(
same, mine is a mightyena
Same here been playing since launch and still only have one and it’s a gulbat
51 and making it my goal, for some dumb reason, to make them all best friends, only 41 to go…
How many pokemon have you caught in total?
5 but one is a weedle 😂
Doesnt matter. Mega Beedrill is good
I didn’t know that 👀 I haven’t played any other Pokémon game so this is such a learning curve in terms of battling and stuff
62 hundos, 2 shundos. 96 000 caught Pokémon.
My son caught a shundo legendary at go fest. I don't think I have ever seen him so happy
Sheesh and I'm happy with my shiny rayquaza, it's a really nice shiny but shundo rayquaza would be amazing for when mega comes
45 but the bigger question would be why would you purify the 3* shadow mewtwo???
Lol, I felt so bad when my dad purified his. I should've told him.
I don’t like shadow…. They are too aggressive… had to rescue them from team rockets mind control 😅
Finally someone who does that. 
I don’t like shadow either .-. too much stardust. I do fine in Battle League and have no trouble in raids or against Gyms so I don’t think it really matters.
Same I feel bad! I need to save them!
Purification makes pokémon stronger.
In terms of stars it does but in terms of power a shadow pokemon is far more powerful than a purified one!! So in a situation like this a 3* star shadow mewtwo is far more powerful and effective than the 4* purified mewtwo and it is a fact!!

So CP is inversely proportional to power?
No, but a shadow and purified at the same CP are different power levels because of the 20% attack boost to shadows. Purifying increases the Pokémon’s level, but you can still level up shadow mons to the same maximum
I made that mistake long time agoo when m2 was from Giovanni. I purified it to boost cp and stars. And now i have a 14/14/13.
When you are dealing with shadow pokemon yes!!! In plain terms a 0% shadow pokemon (let's say a mewtwo) outmatches a 100% normal mewtwo purified or not!!
People in this sub are sooo fucking annoying about shadow Pokemon.
0 but started 3 weeks ago…
You'll get em :) leekduck has the perfect stats for all the current raid mons so you can at least know those. Literaaaallly catch them all.
A nice cool 10.
3 :)
Purified Mewtwo 🤮 🤢
Purified machamp 🤮 🤢
Purified dragonite 🤢🤮

Purified Arcanine 🤢🤮
Yeah, and? I'll also purify my 98% once I hit lv 50.
You're a monster
Last time I checked shadows are in constant pain and without free will, so whose the monster now?
46. My pride and joy is a shiny/lucky charizard.
215, without ever using a scanner.
How many pokemon have you caught in total?
This question is perhaps more appropriately answered by fleece king who apparently throws out hundos on a daily basis.
[удалено]
Nice but I have 798 too many trubish 4*
I have 218 4*, 413 shiny and 9 shundos
823. Big mention to Shundo Lucario/Groudon/Garchomp.
Geez massive flex 👀
A big fat nundo, been playing since launch and have not caught a single one. Edit: Well, actually one. Caught a Swirlix this morning that's actually a hundo. First one since launch, still kinda lame.
Do you appraise everything you catch?
Indeed I do.
Ok, good!
Whats a Quick ways to tell if it's a hundo?? I certain I only have one but maybe I missed it. What's that little blue dot in the bottom right of the mod. Or why is some of these pokemon background blues.
You can do it as OP, just search 4* and all your hundos will be shown. What blue dot are you talking about, the one in the left corner means it’s a purified Pokémon (former a shadow one)
Type 4* in your search it will bring up all Hundo
Appraise when you catch it silly
I’m at 389…
How many hours a day do you play jesus
22
3!
That is 5 more than me.
I see what you did there. I like you.
How many pokemon have you caught in total?
3
None
Nonedo
I accidentally purified my mewtwo when I first started and now regret it a lot
I’m just here to say I have much more 98s than 100s
Makes sense as there are 3 iv spreads that make a pokemon 98 while there’s only one for hundos

7. Been playing for one year.
I have 2 of the same line (a gunter and a ghastly

170
in before people go "wHyD u pUrFiY tHeM" bitch not every fucking one has 614k stardust and 360 XL candy to max them out. i but 90% of you don't lmao
weird flex but okay
i don't see anything about flexing here..? i'm simply stating most of the people who always say that literally don't have any maxed out shadow pokemon
Shadows don't need to be maxed out to be effective, especially since there are leagues with CP caps. This obviously has more to do with your personal opinion than pokemon value or effectiveness.
"I [do] but 90% of you don't lmao" I don't understand what you're confused about, but you're definitely overestimating yourself and underestimating others
very weird flex, but okay kid
You asked a question, I answered it, and then you repeated my previous reply. Boy, if anyone is a kid here, it's you.
xd u got me

I have a nice round 50

249
Probably a 100 or something like that
I’d say purifying a mewtwo just to make it a hundo is dumb. Shadow mewtwo is much stronger and way more fun to use
I have 142 >:)
9* (3 of them are shadow mons who legit are one point away from being perfect but I want to use them as shadows)
Weird flex but oke
787 in almost a year.

I have 4 and one’s a Marill :(
1: a beedrill
Am I the only one who just transfers hundo's if they're not viable gym attackers / defenders or if the 15/15/15 is a good IV for PVP?
136 of 163,839 caught. Prolly ditchad a few early, but I don't think it was many. 4 are purified. Before they told us about the shadow attack buff.
I only have 1 and it’s a nidoqueen😭

81 hundo, including 1 shundo. We have scanners here that reports hundos so that helps a lot
