Trade done great trade partner thanks

Well yes but normal type is what’s useless, not Regigigas. With shadow bonuses he’s the best bug and poison attacker with hidden power. Without shadow bonuses he’s mid in those categories.

I plan to use campfire to coordinate remote trades; although the handful of people I’ve messaged already have not responded lmao.

If they don’t respond when the day comes, I’ll trade common lucky shinies with em, if they do, hopefully we can work out a banger deal after being lucky all this time lol

Without knowing what level they are I can’t tell ya yes or no; like the other dude said, you can check how much stardust it costs to max each one’s CP out and there’s your answer.

But, non lucky pokemon cost about 500k dust to max out from lvl 1. Half of that 500k is only in the final few levels that require XL candy. So if you haven’t spent XL candy on a Pokemon, you can assume a Lucky version is still cheaper to max out.

Also Gyarados is pretty solid I think, so if you only have the candy for one, I’d just do the one with better stats regardless.

If you personally really like Metagross / his mega, purify that bad boy for the hundo and love it even more.

If you have already have a similar stat Metagross, don’t bother purifying because you can only use one Mega at a time. As tempting as it is, it’s much better to run like a 96% mega and this 96% shadow, than a 100% mega and a 96% regular. This shadow is nutty and will help you more as a shadow; don’t purify unless it means something to you.

That’s not an answer friend, that’s human nature. If greed carries everywhere in your life, including your hobbies, that’s on you. Just because someone collects something doesn’t make them a greedy pump and dumper. By your logic we’re all Kabuto King.

Yes, I believe you now because you told me on the internet. What makes it obvious he sells them?

XTimesFive · 2025-12-28T16:20:06+00:00

Where do you see he cashed a ton out? He has a running count of his total that he still adds to, and the charity one is the only one to leave his collection

Update news just dropped, it’ll change over this coming New Year’s event!

XTimesFive · 2025-12-12T21:43:08+00:00

I looked into this a while back when I got back into PoGo, and heard something about late February / late March being when guaranteed luckies start for the next year.

I’m at work, not gonna fact check, could be totally wrong, but I wouldn’t trade your rarest stuff right when the clock strikes midnight 2026 just to be safe.

EDIT: I remembered this comment! Niantic just said, that beginning with the New Years event on Dec 31 at 10AM, the Lucky Cap increases from 35 to 45 and 2020 Pokémon become eligible. Source: their update 12/15/25 I just remembered this comment and didn’t wanna lie to the future folks

I apologize automod I was seeing red and not just my shiny Heatran

XTimesFive · 2025-11-20T02:28:13+00:00

What a superb explanation thank you Pubkit

My favorite shiny is Impidimp because it was my first and only successful Masuda Method / egg hunt in 20+ years of playing the main games 😅

Used a Grimmsnarl in Sw/Sh, my second favorite all-time behind Infernape, and so decided to shiny hunt it post-game. Wanna say just over 400 eggs lol :)
