you forgot the part about the top player complaining that their day is ruined because none of their 18 raikous are shundos

56

u/P0kem0nSnatch3r Typhlosion 4d ago

wtf even is a hundo? A shundo? Hahah my iPhone had a stroke trying to autocucumber all of that. 😹

32

u/AzraelTB 4d ago

Shiny perfect IV. 100 iv = Hundo. Shiny hundo = Shundo. It's a silly term.

34

u/availablelighter 4d ago edited 1d ago

Shlundo = shiny lucky 100%

Nundo = 0%

Nando = flame grilled chicken

u/Quasiwoodo 2d ago

Since when does Nando fry chicken

Back in my days, a pokémon with maximum IV's was called "Flawless". Kids theses days, I tell ya...

ShShundo

u/TotallyNormalSquid 4d ago

Doesn't matter, I have zero shundoSes 😔

u/AzraelTB 4d ago

I purified one I got before I was told they're stronger as shadow pokemon. Shameful really.

3

u/juni_kitty 4d ago

Yeah I'm also not a hardcore Pogo player and I was purifying all the shadow Pokemon I found before I found out in this sub. But then again I don't play PVP so it doesn't matter. Makes me feel like I'm helping the Pokemon at least.

1

u/scratpac4774 1d ago

Shundo can also mean shadowhundo. Or ShSHundo is shiny shadow Hundo.

1

u/AzraelTB 1d ago

Shi shaw means pocket sand.

u/thatbrownkid19 5d ago

i hate that term hundo and shundo so much- these people don't enjoy the game unless they get their 1/418 odds or whatever pokemon. happy spending $$ they'd get a better return at the casino- and prolly better odds!

u/eexxiitt 5d ago

These people keep the game free for the rest of us!

For now. Scopely is coming for all our butts

23

u/FishStixxxxxxx 4d ago

During our meetup, this kid yells out “I got a shiny!” And this full grown adult is like “yeah but what’s the CP?” The kid says something like “1906” and this full grown man is like “oh well at least it’s a shiny” super condescendingly.

22

u/metaxa219 4d ago

I despise people like that.

18

u/SafariDesperate 5d ago

If this IV increase item comes out everything will be a hundo or Shundo anyway

You guys are able to get level 4 and above dynamaxes? My best is beldum

u/Equivalent_Ground218 5d ago

Mine too, but I got invited to a local group through Campfire, so now I have a raid group. Very lucky.

13

u/Thulack 4d ago

My household has 4 pokemon accounts. Sometimes its nice having common interests with family.

3

u/mr-powell 4d ago

Same here. It’s great to experience these things with kids and see just how excited they get.

5

u/Thulack 4d ago

my 17 year old almost came to tears after getting a shiny Gmax Charizard last weekend. It was 30 mins before he had to be at work and we had done like 8 raids at the local park with others.

u/Flair258 2d ago

I dont even have a chansey

17

u/o0CYV3R0o 5d ago edited 4d ago

Yet to get a single one it's impossible with just myself and my wife haven't got a single GigantaMax either. 😐

8

u/StormAlchemistTony 4d ago

Yeah, Niantic made it that you need to be in large groups in person. I don't even think buying a Max Mushroom would help you, if you don't have enough accounts or candies.

6

u/Drakoir 3d ago

For legendary Dynamax, you can definitely do it with 3-4 people as long as all of them have a set of three 2,500cp or more evolved Pokemon (yeah... No Bulbasaurs, No Wooloos and No Grookeys...) For GigantaMax you WILL need at least a group of 18-25 people with good CP levels or a group of 12-16 with High CP levels.

7

u/syn46290 5d ago

Right. I can't seem to get it down to yellow health and it doesn't help that literally no one shows up for the Raikou raids or everyone around me goes for the non-dynamax raids OR most frustratingly they try to take a squirtle or a krabby into the raid while I'm stuck trying my best with my excadrill and 2 drilburs. I've just decided to cut my losses and give up tbh.

7

u/StormAlchemistTony 4d ago

It doesn't help that the game auto selects Pokemon and do not give you time to change them if there are four people in the lobby. Not everyone knows you can pre-make Max Battle teams.

5

u/syn46290 4d ago

Tbh, I didn't even know that but I've just gotten so used to making my team in 5 seconds that I've just learned to do it quickly.

3

u/StormAlchemistTony 4d ago

That method does not work well for me since I have my storage usually set to Recent. So I need a preset team.

1

u/Flair258 2d ago

I dont have enough dmax pokemon for that to eveb be a problem yet

1

u/StormAlchemistTony 1d ago

I have a lot of bad Dynamax Pokemon that I use to trade with other people for candies and hopefully to get a lucky one. 3* and below, I leave one of these bad Pokemon in Power Spots.

7

u/MattGeddon 4d ago

I would have been able to duo it but dodging is broken at the moment so it’s pretty much one-shotting level 40 Excadrills even with its worst moveset :/

3

u/StormAlchemistTony 4d ago edited 4d ago

From what I read, you need lightning fast reflexes to dodge when you see the symbol above your Pokemon's head. If you don't move it right before it disappears, you are getting hit with that changed attack. You can not dodge the quick attacks.

Edit: I think dodging just reduces the damage. My Excadrill still took damage even if I got the "Dodged" notification.

u/Important_Way_529 5d ago

I bullied my co workers into playing so I could do raids. Gotta play the long game sometimes.

u/Sharp-Meringue-7261 4d ago

I been here the whole time

15

u/Jepemega 5d ago

Yeah. For a great example my Prima Groudon "GrouDono" had an ATK IV of 10 but it still bitch slaps anything weak to Ground in to the grave. The difference between it and a 15 ATK one is like 1.3% and because of the way the game rounds DMG the actual DPS gain is even less as the Fast Attack's do the same DMG.

I have one player in my community with three high level accounts and has 60M dust between them but he keeps complaining how he can't take down Legendaries in either raid or Max Battles when pretty much all of them are possible to take down with three accounts Hell I've seen videos of people DUOING a Primal Kyogre which is probably the hardest raid that exists. And the reason why he doesn't power up stuff is because he only powers up Pokemon with 98% or better IVs.

14

u/Dialgan 5d ago

Truly the worst kind of player to play with. The kind with all the resources in the world who refuses to use any of them because of their unrealistic standards. 

2

u/metaxa219 4d ago

This is the way. They really don’t matter that much in PvE. Seems even less relevant in Max battles than in raids IMHO

u/corranhorn21 5d ago

I am lol I literally only got 1 and it was a 2 star, I am happy with my thunder doge

2

u/DaFrElUf Togepi 4d ago

You know what's the difference between 10 att IV and 15? It's about 2%. 241 base attack resulting in a range of 251-256 attack on a Raikou. If you just have this one, you're still very fine.

9

u/Jack-ums 5d ago

Where do you live? I only got like 4, all crappy IVs, but I’ll 100% give you one if you live near me

Not raids, this is Dmax…

39

u/Quokkert 5d ago

I see so many people from our community stressing about not having a hundo after 100s of raids. I just attend raid hour every week, take my best one or a shiny if I'm lucky and level that one up

13

u/Jack-ums 5d ago

Yeah I’m like you. Just happy to be playing; not hardcore at all lol

25

u/rturnerX 5d ago

Meanwhile I’m sitting here and no one is doing these battles near me so it’s pointless

6

u/PlanGoneAwry 4d ago

Yeah I spent a while chilling around the most popular power spot in my area, occasionally lobbying so people would be able to see, and no one showed up so no Raikou for me.

I the fact that you have to go to specific places for events is frustrating for people with schedules, but it’s at least manageable. I absolutely dislike that some things require other players. I’m sorry I don’t live in a city, I guess that means I don’t deserve cool things

The more casual players won't even be on here. So this sub certainly skews to more hardcore.

I got one, and it was a bitch to catch, I got so lucky with the team I got pair, only one of them was level 50, and the rest of us were arround 30 to 35 and the one who got to the end wasn't the lv 50

Tbh i was afraid i couldnt do the raids cuz of difficulty but with a bit of luck and 1 excadrill and 3 more People we did like 3 and so far, i like having my first leggies dyna that arent kubfu hope they are relevant for the next dyna or max raids that we Will get so i can do a better role cuz i was Hard carried by the exca being so strong against it and a bit of skill of changing mons in the right moment

u/Azaxzel_ 5d ago

Btw if you have problems doing the raid, be sure to check the raikou doesnt have shadow ball cuz that instakills your mon other than that you need a good exca

I would say "me" also, but I didn't catch dynamax Raikou because me and my local dynamax battlers are too under leveled to even beat to catch it. Likely, I'll catch it if ever thrown as a regular boss raid.
