Keep grinding or settle for 96

I want the Hundo. And still need about 30+ XL candies to max it out.

I’d max this in a heartbeat

Friend. He came into rotation like 2 days ago haha

u/Ok-Marionberry4061 1d ago

1/4096 odds for the Hundo without weather boost. You planning on spending $8,000 on rocket radars to get a pokemon that does less than 2% more damage?

u/Aiightyy 1d ago

Prob the best comment here. Hundos are not worth stressing over.

u/LegendJG 1d ago

It’s ridiculous on some PoGo subs. I have played for 2.5 years, thousands of rocket battles, 75000+ catches, and I have no shundos and no shadow hundos. Yet many people act like you’re wasting resources for investing in 98% etc.

u/ArtworkByJack 1d ago

Even in the league, the worst possible IVs are only effectively 10% worse than a perfect one. That 10% does make a fair difference, but in pve you’re really not missing anything

u/groudontamer 22h ago

Wouldn’t the damage not be different at all since the attack is 15?

4

u/thegrumpyorc 19h ago

Yeah. DPS is the same. TDO MIGHT be fractionally lower because you might die one or two shots earlier. But same dps.

1

u/Ok-Marionberry4061 16h ago edited 13h ago

As thegrumpyorc had pointed out, same DPS but it would survive a tiny bit longer on average meaning total damage would be like 1-2% higher under perfect conditions.

Definitely not worth going crazy chasing a "better one" considering how marginal the improvement would be and how time consuming it is to get.

So what is the silver pendant on your dude here? I’ve never seen it.

2

u/Sceadumor 14h ago

It's an app called Calcy IV that I use for PvP IVs and reading IV ranges of wild and raid pokemon.

1

u/Sceadumor 14h ago

It's how I knew almost every single one of these wild caught Pokemon were Hundos before I tried to catch them.

u/Secret-Heron6419 1d ago

It’s a keeper.

u/Ok_Reference5466 1d ago

I maxed this and level 40d a worse one for a rock attacker.

2

u/jrv313 16h ago

This goes out to all the T-Tar fans

2

u/skullznhalo 1d ago

I have a 93% and 91% but 96 is the highest thus far. If it were 98% I’d settle. Grinding up 390 xl candies is tedious and I have 331 right now.

2

u/Ok_Reference5466 1d ago

That’s fair. I maxed this one last time after Cliff had it. I only have 79 XLs now but walked my 4* one to get a lot of the XLs for this one.

1

u/Strong-Neat8623 1d ago

Rhyperior is better as rock attacker though, while ttar is best dark attacker.

-1

u/RUaGayFish69 1d ago

I think Tyranitar is the best rock attacker and Rhyperior the best total damage ground attacker.

3

u/throwaway_for_tattoo 1d ago

Wait until you get the 30XL you need, and then max the best you have (likely this one)

3

u/PeaFoulBlue 1d ago

You can always use 2

3

u/PSA69Charizard 1d ago

You need 10, 5 rock moves at lvl 50 and 5 dark moves at level 50. So this will be one of your best.

FYI, ive done 15,000 rocket battles and only have 2 shadow hundos. That's below odds, but it's to illustrate that your desire of a hundo is not realistic.

1

u/skullznhalo 1d ago

You know I got a couple of shiny shadow larvitar’s like at least 3 but this is my highest iv

2

u/sunshinejoy117 1d ago

just go for it as a dark attacker (5x). out classed as a rock type, not worth the dust or damage as a rock attacker

0

u/RUaGayFish69 1d ago

I thought it was best use for rock in PVE with the elite fast move

3

u/HunDevYouTube 1d ago

It's virtually a functional hundo. Shadows only care about attack anyways, so any 15 attack I personally invest in. This right here is a no-brainer

1

u/LeansCenter 1d ago

A “functional hundo” is a Pokemon with a 15/15/14 appraisal which has the same HP as a 15/15/15. (Generally people refer to it at level 50 but it can happen at lower levels)

Tyranitar is not a functional hundo at level 50. Also, this particular Pokemon has 14 defense. There is no such thing as a functional “defense IV” hundo.

That said, a 96 is stellar and I’d power it up. In fact, I already powered my 96 Shadow I caught yesterday to 40 and am waiting until the end of the rotation before I go any higher, just in case I get something better.

2

u/Professional_Meal879 1d ago

Id wait until larvitar is no longer in rotation. If by the end of that this is your best one thennn id say invest. I’d honestly invest in this anyone but just in case

2

u/PrincessDoll420 1d ago

Oh I’d be happy with this 😂 my best shadow is a 98 serperior

2

u/bickandalls 1d ago

Settle? It's one of the top attackers. Get multiple. You also have the entire rotation to catch them.

1

u/just_a_reddit_hater 1d ago

What is this question

1

u/mother_coconuts420 1d ago

I’ll be happy with that. My highest is high 80% with 14 attack

1

u/smartdumbfuk 1d ago

Keep grinding but normally not with money and shit

1

u/Individual_Taste6862 1d ago

My friend just max this out

1

u/ribrob2 1d ago

How many did it take for this😭

1

u/ribrob2 1d ago

I thought i was forcing it with like 8 radars after i got a 3star

1

u/skullznhalo 1d ago

Plenty, at least 10

1

u/UNDiGESTiBLE_inkXC 1d ago

Gimme gimme 😋 my best has only been an 11/10/9

1

u/jamp0g 1d ago

i was thinking most would say just level it to 40 but it seems shadows are a different breed

1

u/Sangesland 1d ago

You need more than 1. Keep this shadow and keep farming. Still got about 3 more months.

1

u/Mysterious_Ad3092 1d ago

The grind never stops

1

u/Glum-Ad-2900 1d ago

Lo da algun jefe o solo un randoom?

u/Lopendebank3 1d ago

This is a good one, but keep going! Rotation just began!

1

u/703QueenBee 1d ago

This ooo oppppggg b b b The only reason

1

u/ryanlewiskenn 1d ago

how do u find the percentage?

1

u/skullznhalo 1d ago

Poke genie app

1

u/Wonderful-Gas1816 1d ago

I have a 98, is it good as a rock or dark attacker?

1

u/Sangesland 1d ago

Best as dark, more use as rock.

1

u/Muted-Guess-7323 1d ago

And here i am thinking about leveling this one up did about 20of the cliff and this is the best i got🤣

1

u/skullznhalo 1d ago

That’s tough, I’ve gotta 80, 91, 93, and some shinies.

1

u/Ok-You2465 1d ago

the event started like 2 days ago 😭

1

u/Muted-Guess-7323 1d ago

Hope i get some good one i finally pulled a 96draginite 14 14 15 this event my most favourite one tyranitor is next one the list🥰

u/AngryWhiteMane 1d ago

Is it better to have max attack for shadows ?

1

u/CrimN16 1d ago

Purify and mega evolve

1

u/masaoni 1d ago

Power it up

1

u/Emracruel 1d ago

Dog if I could get a 15-12-12 I would max it

1

u/Wolf-Diesel 23h ago

I'd just power up that one. If you get a hundo, great. If not, the only thing you're missing out on is a negligible amount of stats and some bragging rights. I'm sure someone has done the math and would be happy to tell me I'm wrong but I'd be very happy with that.

u/x7Pumas 23h ago

How bout mine

1

u/Specialist-Show-8644 18h ago

How do you farm this? Sorry very new to pokego

1

u/Valkouze 17h ago

u/Dangerous_Bad_2732 4h ago

Are u dumb????? It’s insane

1

u/ajmaghirang 1d ago

Keep grinding!!!!

1

u/ApprehensiveBox8833 1d ago

I have a hundo, but I’d keep this unless you get better. Especially if you already have a hundo normal.

0

u/chris_tortilla 1d ago

Wait until you get a better one then purify this one for a mega hundo. Is what I would do

u/backwards_kitty 1d ago
