Level 50 0% Shadow VS 100% Non-Shadow Pokemon, Which is Better? - Pokemon GO
Ойындар
Is there a minimum IV for a Shadow Pokémon to be stronger than a Non-Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon Go? Well, today we take a look at a 0% Shadow Tyranitar against a 100% Non-Shadow Tyranitar to see which is stronger through a raid experiment.

would have been nice in your testing to also show a 90-100% shadow vs the 0% shadow so we can see the importance of IV for shadow types. I suspect its not as big a difference as the normal vs shadow is, like instead of a 3 second increase maybe a 1 or 2 second?
much respect man! powering up a worthless shadow for the community to prove to us why it is better. no wonder you grind so hard. thanks Brandon!

@@ThaGamingMisfit If you dont have a lot of starseed to have multiple shadow pokemon a non-shadow hundo would be better since it wont die as much. SO i'll call it a stepping stone.
Thanks for the experiment Brandon! This makes a lot of sense, I’ll be sure to hunt a lot more shadows now!
You’re the best Brandon!
wow thank you for all you do for the pogo community. always dropping the most important tips
This video is exactly what I needed to know! I was super disappointed because my shadow were such low IV and I don't have the time to grind Pokemon like other people. But now that I know I don't need them to be super high iv to make them worth powering up now I might finally build some good pokemon for raids!!! Thank you
Real talk; how many youtubers out there would do this for us? Probably nobody 😆 We all know how difficult it is to collect XL candies and stardusts and he is willing to level up a pokemon to the max (50) that he will never ever use again. I really appreciate you doing this for us Brandon!
Now we need shadow 0% pokemon vs shadow 100% pokemon, that would be a good one.

Thank you so much for this video. This is extremely helpful. After watching this I can nw level some of my shadow
Thankyou man , you did so much work to help the community ❤️❤️
Awesome video, I remember a video like this in the past, very nice to get an updated experiment!
That's some top level content! Thanks for the video.
Hi Brandon, thank you for the educational video which was really missing for many players. The idea of using shadow Pokémon was always a doubt for me mainly to understand what iv floor should I consider to invest. Comparing to non shadow it doesn’t matter for raiding.
Thanks for doing an experiment! It was really hard for me to wrap my head around this. Since CP has been the most important thing forever
great content. thanks for doing the experiment brandon!
You have encouraged me to confidently evolve and power up my shadow pokemons
You always help me when it matters the most Brandon, Thank you for this .!
This is an awesome comparisons and I was actually surprised. Everyone needs to keep in mind also is dodging. When using shadow Pokémon you want to always dodge the charge moves even if they’re resisted so you can survive to get off as many charge moves as possible. This is one reason I use dragon breath on my hundo shadow dragonite and dragon tail on my regular hundo dragonite. Dodging is key to maximize the damage boost.

Fantastic experiment and greatly appreciated Brandon! 👍👍👍
Thank you for another experiment it was not needed but more than appreciated
Thank you for this I needed this to decide for my shadows.
Really cool and educational. Makes me feel better about blindly listening to you when I first found your channel and maxing out (lv 40 at the time) my 98% shadow Machamp.
Thank you for making this one!
Can you do another test for a low iv shadow Pokémon Vs a high iv shadow Pokémon?

It will probably show no difference - especially in such an easy raid as the Shinx raid. A perfect IV Shadow hits a bit harder and in certain situations last a little longer than the 0 IV but if you don't have any problems beating the boss with your team(s) then the very small difference doesn't matter. IV are very overrated!

He already did that video. He did a 90%, 93%, 96%, and 100% shadow. They all only vary by a couple secs. From 90%-100% i think was a 6-7sec difference. This will only matter if you are trying to duo/trio a legend. Otherwise, any shadow is good enough.

usually the difference in stats between a 0% and 100% is roughly 4-8% each depend on their base stats
Extremely useful!! Thank you
I have always been pondering this question. Thank you for the huge investment. I can comfortably power up my shadows now.
Thanks for demonstrating what we conceptually know but wonder. Kudos for going with a nundo shadow to 50 epic resources for that video
This information is huge! Thank you!
Old video but people will come across it. BrandonTan showed it in action but the math behind it is: IV is a flat amount added to the pokemon’s base stats. So let’s say a pokemon had 100 attack, 100 defense and 100 HP. A 100% 15/15/15 IV pokemon would have 115/115/115 stats. and the obvious 0% IV with 0/0/0 would be 100/100/100. Shadow pokemon get a 20% attack bonus and -20% defense. So a 0% shadow pokemon with those base stats would be 120/80/100 showing that the pokemon has more attack but a lot less defense. This is gap is only if you powered up a 0% shadow. So imagine a 3-star with possibly 15/15/11 Like the Metagross we saw? Honestly if you get a max attack IV shadow it’s definitely worth it for max damage. Just keep in mind about the Defense debuff, and make sure to dodge otherwise they will faint faster.
Thanks so much for this video. Never been able to get beter than a 2 star shadow.
Oh my god brandon thanks soo much i was transferring soo many shadow pokemon because they weren’t at tier 3 thanks for clearing this up!!
I thought u did one of these already. Just watched it. Watched this cuz ur gr8
Very informative, new subscriber for you - thank you. More like this please.
Thank you for your amazing videos. You are really amazing.
Thanks for the video. Helps me feel better about some of my better shadows not being too great. Good to know they are better than 100 IVs. Would have been good to see this on a level 3 raid too. Just to see how long it lasts vs how much damage it did. Maybe a part 2 coming?

Thx for the Experiment brandon!
Great tips! Thank you
It would be sick to see a 100% mega pokemon vs a 0% shadow of the non-mega, and to see the difference there
Nice Shadow Collection bro! I recently caught a 100% Shadow Magikarp. He's now a lvl 40 Gyarados. I'm Ultra buddies with him right now and I'm close to having the XL candies to maxing him out as much as I can.

Love how scientific your test was.
Awesome video! Can you or have you already done a comparison between a shadow 100% and a shadow 0%?
Hi Brandon, thanks for the video it was very informative. This got me curious, can you do this test on same IV regular and shadow just to see how much powerful the shadow really is? Thanks!
It would have been very interesting to Compare the 0% IV Shadow as level 40 with the non-shadow 100% IV level 50. I know it is too late now though
brandon we thank you for the expirement you made sacrificing the xl candy for us to see
Hello Brandon, How about another experiment on how much damage a 0% shadow can do compared to a hundo after it faints, just to take into consideration the 17% a shadow take as added damage compared to a hundo. This would represent a stronger pokemon effectiveness, specially for tier 5 and mega raids. Also, is a shadow Ho-Oh with sacred fire+ better than a purified one with sacred fire ++? In other words is it worth purifying a Shadow Ho-Oh with sacred fire+?

This is what i was thinking about too haha
That was interesting, but I wish you would have gone against a Legendary to see how much damage each could do before they fainted. Like you've done before where you enter the same battle twice to have an exact comparison. Seems that would have been a more accurate measurement. I never use shadows myself. It's one of my overall goals to "rescue" as many as I can. :)

Thank you for this experiment
Great vid ❤
Love your videos :)
Thank you! Is there a video comparing the 0% shadow with 100% shadow and see how much stronger the 100% is?
so it looks like the trend is max any 3 star shadow. thanks! very helpful.
You have inspired me to max out my Nundo Shadow Bagon 😂
Thanks for the video and explanation Brandon! That said, I don't like the way Niantic implemented Shadows - they're too OP. A 0% Shadow should not be better than a 100% regular. Otherwise, why should I spend money chasing 100% Legendaries?
When it comes on to shadow pokemon, I'd usually keep and power up the ones that could be purified into hundos. But, I don't purify shadow pokemon, so any IVs that's 13/13/13 and above is an elite
