00:02shadow pokemon versus non-shadow pokemon
00:07which is stronger and does ivs really
00:11matter when it comes to shadow pokemon
00:14well we will answer both of those
00:16questions in this video as we've got an
00:21so hi hi to all of you guys so let me go
00:24ahead and bring my screen up and before
00:26i even do the experiment i'll answer
00:29kind of the first question first um
00:32technically the second question the the
00:35so let's go ahead and check out my
00:37shadow pokemon whether ivs really
00:39matters yes and no i mean if you compare
00:44pokemon it doesn't really matter what
00:47ivs you get which i will you know prove
00:49it later on but if you talk about like
00:51comparing with you know shadow pokemon
00:54so yes it does you know but of course uh
00:56pokemon like the legendary shadow
00:58pokemon you can only have one most of
01:00the time unless you kept a lot of super
01:02rocket radars to have multiple you know
01:04like mewtwos etc but i've already messed
01:06up my mute to level 50 including my
01:08tyranitars my metagross and these are
01:11the ivs these metagross is 98 ib is like
01:14the one of the best already i've already
01:15gotten all right and this is a 98 also
01:18so i do power up non 100 shadow pokemon
01:21obviously because it's so difficult to
01:23get 100 iv shadow pokemon so far i've
01:25already powered up two
01:26uh hundo shadow pokemon even this
01:28tyranitar with like four
01:30hp you know for the ivs i still take it
01:33doesn't mean that it has like four hp in
01:35total but the ivs you know it's just
01:37four so even my shadow lugia my gyarados
01:40etc so um yeah even mamo swine i just
01:43want to show you guys what i powered up
01:45first all right so i see even this
01:46mammal swim with 11 attack 11 15 14 i
01:50powered up to level 50 all right and as
01:53for the other mammal swine so so even
01:54this snorlax ninety six percent ib
01:56snorlax i'm powering up uh magnus zone
01:59you have this the first of the handles
02:00that i've gotten all right second one
02:02this is a 96 ivy i've also maxed out
02:05level 50 that's my second best ever
02:08shadow magna zone all right shadow
02:10zapdos uh machamp electrifyer uh elected
02:13wire again etc so you guys can see that
02:15i do not power up like super duper high
02:17ivs like 100 percent iv sorry not super
02:19duper high but high iv is like i mean
02:22max iv is a shadow pokemon because it's
02:24clearly impossible to get and this one
02:25is the best attention
02:29yeah i just want to point it out to you
02:31guys that you know you don't have to
02:32power up only handle uh shadow pokemon
02:35especially because shadow pokemon they
02:36are really stronger than non-shadow ones
02:38which i'll prove to you guys in a bit
02:40all right so those are the ones also
02:42these are the ones that are part of the
02:43level 40 and some of the weavers or so
02:45etc yeah so the other pokemon that are
02:48a high level so i think it's level four
02:51level 50 or so is this the polygraph
02:54yeah okay so that's all my pokemon okay
02:56so now let's go into the experiment part
02:58you guys might be wondering how am i
02:59gonna do the experiment right all right
03:01so uh let's go into this particular
03:03pokemon first lavita and i'll scroll all
03:06the way to the very bottom you guys see
03:07a lavita over there labeled as lavita
03:11well it's a lavita with ivs of zero zero
03:14zero it's not a glitch or anything yep
03:16you guys can see the lavita is still
03:19ivs bar in moving oh it's zero zero zero
03:22all right so what i'm going to do with
03:23this is i am going to power it up to
03:25level 50 okay but before that let's go
03:28ahead and do the evolution first i'm
03:29going to evolve it into
03:30tyranitar okay just a fun fact for you
03:33guys a hundred percent iv uh shadow
03:35pokemon is actually easier to obtain
03:38zero iv uh shadow pokemon because you
03:42can still get a handle when it's weather
03:44boosted and non-weather booster whereas
03:45this you can only get it when it's
03:47non-weather booster once it's weather
03:49boosted the minimum iv is four four four
03:52so hence this is actually tougher to get
03:55than a hundred percent iv pokemon my
03:57ballplash is spinning the the pokestop
03:58to get the items if you guys are
03:59wondering how come the items are coming
04:01in like freely all right so i don't even
04:03know why i showed you guys the two
04:04evolutions but here we are with the zero
04:06iv shadow diarrhea currently it is level
04:09eight so if we power it up to level 50
04:11we'll spend a lot and a lot of study so
04:13we got to move into frustration we have
04:15to remove the frustration but i can't do
04:17it right now so we have to unlock a new
04:19move so we're going to power it up to
04:20level 50 right now yes level 50 okay
04:23level 50 zero iv shadow tyranitar 3824
04:27cp we'll compare with the rest later on
04:29also let's go ahead to remove the change
04:31the fast move to bite let's go ahead to
04:33give it a new move because i did not
04:35remove the frustration away so i have to
04:36spend a bit more stardust to do that so
04:38that's dumb of me let's go ahead to him
04:43fire blast to get crunch okay good so we
04:45got bite and crunch that's what we want
04:47to do the experiment with and all right
04:49we're gonna compare it with the other
04:51tyranny tasks okay before we actually do
04:53the experiment i'm actually looking at a
04:56to see if i can make it for the raid uh
04:59where is that one okay it's over here
05:00okay i'll label it as test first
05:03okay and you guys can see that it is
05:05even lower in cp than a
05:12tyranitar is a level 40 hyundai
05:16and it is lower in cp than it
05:20so um we're gonna compare it do the
05:25this particular tyranitar my level 50
05:30tyronita okay versus my zero iv shadow
05:33tyranitar so one is a shadow zero iv one
05:37non-shadow hundred percent iv so let's
05:39go ahead and see how it goes man i'm
05:40also going to label this one as a level
05:44yeah level 50 zero iv shadow i think
05:46that's a huge price on its owner so all
05:49right so let's go ahead into the very
05:51first uh read i'm gonna do the
05:52experiment on these two shins over there
05:54because they just so happen to spawn
05:56over there on the gyms so i might also
05:58do the experiment on this too and uh
06:00since it will be suffering neutral
06:02damage from um the tyranitar's moves
06:05it'd be okay to do the uh experiment on
06:08also so anyway we're gonna start off
06:11the level 50 tyranitar first all right
06:14uh using bite and crunch i'm just gonna
06:15make sure that it is the one we bite and
06:17crunch all right okay bite and crunch
06:18you guys can see bite and crunch this
06:20one so we bite and crunch right not
06:23yeah okay sure we're gonna wait for the
06:25counter the timer to count down and we
06:28will start the battle together right
06:31all right guys and starting in three
06:35one zero here we go all right so i'm
06:40bite and crunch all the way i want to
06:42count how many crunches i'm gonna fire
06:44off also though just in case later i
06:48charge move as the shadow pocket must be
06:50suffering more damage so hence
06:52i probably would not be able to fire
06:54actually you know i'm not going to use
06:55any more uh charge move just one crunch
06:57is enough all right you guys will know
06:58why later on all right so we did all the
07:00bites and the crunch order we also did
07:02one crunch so later on we're just gonna
07:04do one crunch and bites all the way okay
07:10i'm not too sure what's the fast move
07:11and the charge i heard the swift sound
07:13for the charge move though so let's hope
07:15shins also has swift all right so yeah
07:17we did the last attack of this tv unit
07:21all right so we took it down in 17
07:23seconds all right so 17 seconds with
07:28non-shadow tyranitar okay the shin's uh
07:32cp for the hundo is cp 500 so that
07:34clearly that's not a handle but i really
07:36do not need any more of that all right
07:38we got the balloon that just came out
07:39but it's totally fine so let's go ahead
07:40to uh go to our test subject again we're
07:43gonna type um 17 seconds all right has
07:4617 seconds and we're gonna go into the
07:50lobby right now for the next change all
07:51right same thing same thing private
07:53grouping it otherwise if somebody were
07:55to join in i would have to
07:57exit our waste time doing that all right
07:59so we're gonna search for test right now
08:00we're gonna choose the
08:02non-shadow zero iv tyranitar look at the
08:05cp difference all right it's a total of
08:10cp difference that is just insane
08:13all right but we're going to see whether
08:14the shadow damage the shadow 20 damage
08:18can actually uh give an extra boost to
08:20this tyranitar to make it stronger than
08:22the other non-shadow one and another
08:24thing though shadow pokemon they have an
08:26additional 20 damage but they take 17
08:29more damage their defense is down by 17
08:34hence why a lot of people feel like it's
08:36not really that useful but trust me you
08:38guys will see it over here right now how
08:41difference it is as compared to the
08:44all right guys in three
08:49let's go with our zero iv shadow
08:52tyranitar so i'm going to tap the right
08:54button instead the crunch and i'm just
08:56going to use one crunch uni because just
08:59now we do only one crunch and we use
09:00bite all the way right okay so one
09:02crunch let's go we bite all the way
09:04right now to try and take down the
09:05shanks as quickly as we can okay let's
09:08go let's go come on go go go bye bye bye
09:11bye bye bye is it down all right it is
09:13down right now let's go ahead and see
09:15what's the time remember this is a zero
09:17iv yeah versus a hundred percent iv so
09:20let's see whether is it going to be
09:22faster at the same time or whatsoever
09:25did the final strike again
09:27all right so we took it out in 14
09:29seconds three seconds faster
09:32than the non-shadow hundred percent iv
09:35tyranitar so what does this tells us it
09:40it doesn't matter what iv you have for
09:42your shadow pokemon it will be stronger
09:50all right i proved it over here a zero
09:52iv you cannot get any lower than this
09:54already so hence to actually use a
09:57shadow pokemon with whatever ivs to see
10:00that it is stronger than it is actually
10:03really really you know eye-opening
10:06but we have to consider the fact that
10:07this tyranitar suffered 19 hp damage
10:10whereas this one suffered a total of 13.
10:13all right the difference also is
10:14probably the fact that the fast move is
10:16different because i heard a spark noise
10:18from the the second one the first one
10:20wasn't sparked so hence we were
10:21suffering uh you know like resisted
10:23damage from the first move probably it's
10:25taco yeah so um there's a difference
10:27also you guys can see that you know
10:29clearly a shadow zero iv is actually
10:33going to take down a raid boss faster
10:36than a hundred percent iv
10:41all right so conclusion is
10:45many of you guys have been asking me
10:46like what iv you know a shadow pokemon
10:48you guys should go after well to be
10:50honest the answer is it really depends
10:52on you what i mean by that is if you are
10:54as crazy as crazy as crazy like me don't
10:58want to go after like um you know high
11:00iv or shadow pokemon yeah you can keep
11:02on fighting and fighting and fighting
11:04especially the ones that you get from
11:05the team go rocket leaders all right you
11:07can keep on fighting and try your luck
11:09together it's not easy to get a high iv
11:11one but of course i set a base for
11:12myself anything that are meta relevant
11:15like a shadow tyranitar with smackdown
11:17you know metagross with meteo mesh etc i
11:19set a base iv of 91 and above i will use
11:23them already but if anything under um i
11:25will try my best to get better if i
11:27can't then i'll use 89 87
11:30but i basically choose the top six even
11:32if we talk about the current shadow
11:34pokemon that i'm chasing after which is
11:36shadow bag on all right these are the
11:38ivs that i probably will be keeping
11:39using 14 14 14 right now that's my best
11:4114 14 14 2 same iv is also my best 15 14
11:4512 which is technically my one of my
11:47best also but if you were to scroll down
11:49weather boosted ones
11:51a sneak peak for you guys also for some
11:53of the shinies or so
11:55you can see this one 14 15 14 which i
11:57got it on the video for you guys to see
11:59you already and 30 15 15 13 or so
12:02so obviously if you want me to get like
12:04600 shadow bag ons that's clearly not
12:07possible because i fought more than 500
12:10rlo's already and i've not even gotten
12:12one all right so uh probably i'll be
12:14using all this because they are you know
12:15like above 91 percent like this
12:17particular one is 96 this is 96
12:20this is uh i think 91
12:23so um so hence i'll be using all this
12:26already this one is you know like 93
12:27percent 14 14 14 is 93 14 14 14 93 so
12:31i'll use those two already this is also
12:33um yeah very high already 91 percent so
12:36i i'll use all those already of course
12:39uh i would prefer them having a 15
12:41attack but you know if i can't get them
12:43then i'll just use whatever i get even
12:44if like seriously if i use the lowest
12:46lowest one possible that i have right
12:48now which i've already uh purify and
12:49transfer even if i use this this will
12:51still be stronger than a handle
12:55so yeah i hope that you guys got a
12:57better insight and understanding to this
12:59shadow pokemon how strong they can be
13:01especially you guys who have been
13:03thinking to yourself whether you guys
13:04should even power up a shadow pokemon at
13:07all i will tell you that ninety percent
13:09of the time it will be worthwhile to
13:10power up the shadow pokemon other than
13:12certain situations like go battle league
13:14where you know the non-shadow pokemon
13:16might be stronger and ranked higher than
13:18the shadow pokemon itself alright but if
13:21you talk about rates most of the time
13:23the shadow ones will be stronger okay so
13:26if you guys enjoyed this video and had a
13:28better understanding towards a shadow
13:30pokemon definitely leave a like on the
13:32video be much appreciated and share this
13:34video to your friends who have been
13:35wondering and have been probably like
13:38having a debate with you guys to power
13:42hando shadow pokemon or not well i've
13:44really proved it you can show this video
13:46to your friends your community to show
13:47them that a non handle a zero iv shadow
13:51pokemon is still going to be a
13:55100 non-shadow pokemon
13:58all right so yeah if that's it i'd like
14:00to thank you guys for watching and i'll
14:01see you guys in the next episode in the
14:03next video but i think
14:05darinita needs to say goodbye
14:08this is a big prize to me man level 50
14:11zero iv tyranitar yeah i always do this
14:14for you guys man for the sake of pokemon
14:18yeah i'll never use him ever again it's
14:21a him or her it's a her
14:22i'll never use her ever again
14:24i got other better timing that's right
14:26all right so goodbye goodbye good
