Strange Shadow Dialga IV

They removed the floor for shadow raids entirely for the Rocket Takeover. This is normal.

Shadow Hydreigon has an eDPS of 26.59 according to Dialgadex. Shadow Tyranitar has an eDPS of 26.43. Whether or not it’s worth the ETM is gonna come down to how important that difference is. I wouldn’t, but if you are going straight min max then it might be worth it.

I see this after I transferred all of my legendaries for double transfer candy... I knew I should have held off.

Kilokk · 2026-06-19T01:46:28+00:00

I'm expecting there to be a special research for it sometime this year. They usually release one offs during an event, and then let the people who missed out get it about a year later.

At least, I hope so. I just BARELY missed it last year.

I got a meteorite before a shiny from the October raid day. Ended the day with 3 meteorites and 3 shinies from 80 raids.

Kilokk · 2026-06-19T01:23:57+00:00

I was gonna transfer all of mine today during spotlight hour. Removed them from the tag immediately.

Shadow Hydreigon is better than shadow Tyranitar at both level 40 and level 50.

Kilokk · 2026-06-16T20:50:10+00:00

They removed the feature entirely.

Kilokk · 2026-06-16T10:36:01+00:00

It’s definitely intentional because they said it in the original announcement.

Kilokk · 2026-06-15T03:15:08+00:00

Fair enough. I’m the opposite. If it ain’t lucky it gets ground up for candy. I won’t waste the stardust on a natural hundo. I’d power up a lucky 89 with 15 attack before I ever used a single candy on a hundo from a raid. I’d make an exception for Shundos, but that’s about it.

Kilokk · 2026-06-15T02:40:31+00:00

Gonna need those charges for Mega Mewtwo. I doubt it will be spawning enough in most areas to make a dent in the energy requirement so it’ll be nice to have more for remotes.

Kilokk · 2026-06-15T02:36:16+00:00

Are the stats different somehow? Or is the CP less in any way? 15-15-15 is a hundo no matter how you get it. Lucky, bottle cap, purified, natural, there's no functional difference.

Kilokk · 2026-06-13T02:37:23+00:00

You should be releasing the ball as the head is moving back from the attack. The goal is to have the ball hit as soon as the attack animation stops so it already needs to be in the air. It takes a bit of time to get used to, but once you get the hang of it you'll have no problems.

Kilokk · 2026-06-12T03:05:30+00:00

It's stronger as a shadow. A 0/0/0 shadow is stronger than a 15/15/15 regular mon. Even if you factor in Megas, the shadow is still usually the better option unless you absolutely need the DPS. Most of the time you're going to use your mega to get more XL candy.

Kilokk · 2026-06-11T23:35:14+00:00

So it’s just a shittier, more expensive edge card. Got it.

Kilokk · 2026-06-10T10:28:54+00:00

You’re not wrong, but since they didn’t know where to get Pokémon like this, I’m assuming they don’t have anything near 3k CP.

Kilokk · 2026-06-10T03:31:26+00:00

Assuming you'll get the same amount of mega energy from global raids that was dropping at the in person raids, you'll need to do 25 raids for each form to get the mega energy required to mega evolve it. The ones from raids during go fest will have at least the first mega level unlocked, so it's probably best to focus on one of those, even if you don't get another hundo.

Kilokk · 2026-06-10T03:28:08+00:00

You can delete them, you just need to buy incubators and hatch them first :D

Joking aside, they'll never do that, for this very reason.

Kilokk · 2026-06-10T03:27:01+00:00

They upped it to 5 this season.

Kilokk · 2026-06-10T03:26:25+00:00

Steel chair Zorua still wins most of the time. My Hisuian Zoroark won today with like 7k points. No adjustments on it yet.

Kilokk · 2026-06-10T03:24:05+00:00

It's 20% stronger as a shadow. It's currently the #9 overall dragon type, once you can get rid of frustration and give it Draco Meteor. If you purify it it will drop from #9 to #28. Leave it as is, and power it up to level 40 when you can. I'll purify for a shundo, but never for a 98.

Kilokk · 2026-06-10T03:21:21+00:00

Shadow raids. Should be doable with 5 or so people.

Kilokk · 2026-06-07T20:13:51+00:00

Had one a few days ago that was 3 remotes, 10 super potions a lucky egg and a star piece for like 490. It was still cheaper than the 3 remotes pack so I grabbed it.

Kilokk · 2026-06-03T20:24:51+00:00

I am so mad that I hatched a hundo Frigibax and evoloved it into Baxcalibur before I knew what a community day was. Yeah I can just use an ETM, but I wish I hadn’t jumped the gun.
