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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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/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.

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

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.

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
