Aperently a shadow pokemon is 20% stronger than a non-shadow pokemon. Guess that is why people get salty about purified ones.

Unless your name is Deoxys-A, time to faint is a really bad measure of how good a mon is.
The 20% defence drop is basically negligible for most mons in PVE, especially when you consider that most mons will die to overkill from a charged attack during a raid.

mega is better than shadow, but there's plenty opportunities to get good mega candidates so really no reason to waste a purify on one
rotund copper
True

well if you have two high iv shadows ig purify the lower% one
dusty oracle
But then you're even more likely to have a better non-purified one.
For everything that's not named Metagross or Salamence,
Mega>Shadow>Normal>=Purified
And plus, you can only have 1 Mega at a time.
So unless you're building up enough to run the same Mega all week for free; it's again, fairly pointless to purify.

Oh yeah.
Niantic's been doing a series of tweets with constellations of mons.
They accidentally leaked all of them right at the start, so we have the images, but not the hints they've been tweeting.
They also seem to be going in order. Where there is italics and a questionmark, this is speculation on my part.
So far we have:
Cosmog - Season-Long research
Inkay - Inkay event on 3rd Sept (Inkay Incense Day?)
MAlakazam - Unspecified event from 6th to 12th of Sept (Psychic Spectacular?)
Clefairy - Unspecified event on 10th Sept (Clefairy Research Day?)
The constellations we know about, but haven't had tweets with hints about are:
Necrozma? - Start of Oct event?
Litwick - October Comm Day? (October 15th)
Umbreon - Halloween Event? Umbreon Raid Event?
Cutiefly/Ribombee? - Festival of Lights?
Guzzlord? - Ultra invasion Season Finale event?
final tulip
all of those sound possible for sure
although i don't get what would happen with an inkay research day
dusty oracle
We had some incense days last year. Two types of mon spawn, with a shiny featured that is both of those types.

yeah but last year it was something actually good

Inkay's shiny is good. XD
They did a Carvanha incense day. That's at least on par with Inkay.

Kinda hoping for 1 star cosmog raids, 25 or 50 candy to evolve to Cosmoem and then 100 (or they could do 200, hope not) to evolve to solgaleo at day or lunala at night
unique hazel
I don't think it makes sense to put it in the wild, and since it evolves, I don't think they'd only give us one. So I think it's either raids or daily adventure incense
But 100% no shiny cosmog tho either way
fervent pewter
itll be the season special research
lunala solgaleo will be in raids so no reason to evolve it really

Again and again and updated the game to its latest version

If resetting the game doesn't work, refresh game data.

Go into the buddy screen. (All the way in, until you see the berries)
Then exit back out to the main screen,
Then go into settings and toggle AR+ a few times.

If that doesn't work, make a pokemon your buddy.
I did something else. I stopped the game from having access to camera till its fixed. Everytime I press on a pokemon now it says something like, AR mode not available. Now I can catch em normally

I'm patient. I'll wait till a hot fix update. I don't use ar either way

for pvp you typically want minimum attack with high def and stam
so 3 and 4 stars are usually not great
outside of master league that is
orchid verge
Would this be good?
charred rapids
no
that pokemon doesn't have a place in great league
or in any league to be honest
when I think of great league meta I think of swampert, galar stunfisk, trevenant, registeel
faint ferry
for pvp you typically want minimum attack with high def and stam
the reasoning for this is that attack is the most influential stat on CP and durability is more effective in PvP - lower attack IVs means more def and HP for the same CP in capped leagues
only exceptions to this would be certain mons that dont surpass league caps even at level 50
charred rapids
I swear shiny deoxys defense and speed are a myth
I have done like 6 or 7 attack raids and have gotten 3 shinies

but still none for def or speed
faint ferry
those are still stellar results
charred rapids
true
I'm gonna buy about 15 raid passes on raid day
plan is to do about 20 raids since we get 5 free
and im doing exclusively speed and defense deoxys raids
faint ferry
my interest in shinies only really extends to transferring them to home so the one i got the other day is fine... and deoxys isnt great in go, so...
outside def in pvp*
charred rapids
ye but I just like collecting in go
I play go more than any other one because swsh shiny hunting is getting stale and I dont have my ds on me for another week so I can't play other ds games
faint ferry
go is also just a far better source of shinies than any mainline game
charred rapids
true
faint ferry
the odds are way better
faint ferry
i think 1/500 is the lowest odds, can be as high as like 1/20?
charred rapids
well some pokemon have boosted shiny rates apparently
faint ferry
yeah
charred rapids
so some of the rarer pokemon are I believe 1/64
and then ofc legendary raids 1/20
faint ferry
there are a bunch of different typical rates
charred rapids

I still am hunting a shiny mewtwo in go
ive done over 60 mewtwo raids no shiny
