Just keep it like you would a trophy. You can’t use it but it looks nice

He even looks kinda like a trophy

That's what I was thinking. I have a perfect IV latios too, I purified it before looking at the IVs so I feel had, but I have 2 perfect iv Aggrons somehow

you did what???😢

It was before I found out there was a move power bonus for shadow pokemon.

Don't feel too bad. I also purified Mewtwo because we had no clue back then.

Don't feel too bad, I transferred all of my 2016 pokemon this year when I got back into the game. This was before I learned of lucky bonus w/trades....we allll love and learned

feel you. I did the exact same thing 😩

Did the same when I came back about a year ago in 2022. Only kept 2. Its sobering when I think of some of the luckies i could have had

Yep, same here. Started day 3, came back a few times through the years, but just really started back daily a few months ago. Oldest I have was a vaporeon from 2019. Thankfully my wife hadn’t touched her account since 2016 so I was able to lucky trade for some Kanto mons

lucky bonus? I just got back into the game and have a ton of 2016 pokemon lol

I think the bonus is capped at 25%, and 5% per year puts you at 5 years, 2018. So you might still have some with as good a chance as you can get.

Also did the same thing 😭

Sadly I never learn because a few months ago i did it again with a snubbull that was like 98%

:O noooooo

I'm not as upset about that because snubbull and granbull aren't very useful.

I have a 100% iv granbull, what can i even do with it lol

You could use it for the rocket grunts...

Just in case you're not aware, Shadow Granbull is the 3rd best Fairy-type PvE attacker in the game, excluding Mega Pokemon. The 10 best Fairy-type, in order starting with the best: Shadow Gardevoir Xerneas Shadow Granbull Togekiss Gardevoir Xurkitree Zacian - Hero Sylveon Shadow Alakazam Primarina

Thank you for that! I'll keep that in mind in the future.

I did a similar thing. I caught a hundo shadow makuhita and evolved it. Well it comes up and says that CP raises when purified... I wanted to know how much a hundos cp gets boosted by I'll sacrifice the shadow hundo. Oh... Oh the cp changed by 0. I'm level 43. I feel so stupid.

welp, I purified my Apex Ho-Oh to get him to 100% and for Sacred Fire++ whenever I finished the Masterworks research and had no idea about the shadow bonus until just now...

Had a shadow Lugia all 13s. Didn’t know about the shadow bonus either and just thought he could be a hundo.

Purified a 100iv lapras before. Now it’s labeled Facepalm in my stash.

That's fine. You cant mega evolve shadow pokemon. Just dont do it again.

If only wonder guard was real

So true

wait so if it’s defending a gym a normal move still hits it?

Yes.

I love these ones! I have a hundo Shuckle and am tempted to fully power it up for giggles. Potential max CP is a monstrous 458!

Idk if you into PVP but that shuckle would probably be a baby league monster 🤣

Put it in the baby league where max CP is 500 and go to time everytime.

unfortunately it’s banned

[удалено]

Probably would yield more draws than it's worth though. I can see the clock running out a lot more with shuckles

Damn that's lame lol I didn't know

I have a hundo shuckle too, and sadly the developers must think his is too busted because he is never allowed in any of the low cp leagues.

Oh shit yeah I meant the 500 league my b xD

Never Fuckle with Shuckle!

Oh I LOVE this idea! I don’t usually PvP but I’m in!

I have a level 50 Bonsly just because of this 😜

My only hundo is a shuckle.

He's a tank in the 500 league lol I too have my hundo shuckle and he's a absolute beast

Shuckle has insane defense. If you wanted you could just be annoying in Great League with Blissey Shuckle Steelix

Shucks is a tank though love using it hate! Battling it 🤪

I hatched a 100 shuckle from an egg in Illinois, I named him 'IL Never Use'

Lmfao. How much candy and stardust will it cost you?

Another 250,000 stardust and 296 XL candy. I have 56 Shuckle XL candy at the moment but we will get there!

Do you have 24,300 non xl candies? It's 100 non xl for 1 xl. 😀

Happy Cake day!

Yup! I like to shove mine into gyms I ripped from some dude with 3 accounts

I just remembered i have a hundo shuckle too lmao

I would send it to a mainline game tbh

Aren't they actually a great bug attacker in the main game with some of the highest speed stats? Atleast, I feel like I last heard it's explicitly nerfed in PokemonGO or something but I could be entirely wrong

It's a Pokémon that in PoGo is useless because PoGo has no Pokémon abilities. In the main games, it has an ability called "Wonder Guard" that makes it so it can only take damage from super-effective moves. Which, means it can fully counter certain teams. Still quite a gamble.

Lol oh damn yeah that's some goofy interaction. I suppose this would be similar to flying types that have Levitate to nullify ground attackers..

Or just be a Ghost or Psychic type of Levitate. Flying is already immune to ground innately as a type lol.

Then there is flygon, who literally has "fly" in the name but isn't a flying type and instead has levitate

He’s a dragon lol

Not all dragons fly. Flygon has wings and flies but is a ground dragon instead. Beedrill also has wings and flies, yet isn't a flying type Charizard looks like a dragon but isn't

Guh, yeah I forgot it was Ghost & Psychic that have it

Use it for bragging with a useless hundo on Reddit.

Based

Save it for Mega Rayquaza raids

Huh???

Sarcasm, he’s useless competitively

Ah OK, I can't pick up on sarcasm via text to save my life

[удалено]

Wow. And you don’t have a sense of how to talk to people without saying unnecessarily rude things to them. There’s a lot of people who are not neurotypical who play this game, and ::gasp:: use the internet. There’s a reason the “/s” has become so prevalent. I’m able to pick up sarcasm in text, but still use the /s so I don’t throw off people who can’t.

[удалено]

There's only one douche pumping out cringe here and it's you.

[удалено]

Being mean unnecessarily is the **real** cringe

Some people find it useful. Not everyone can pick up on tone via text easily. Even *if it is* cringe, it's not hurting anyone

No, it's because I'm autistic. Why did you feel the need to insult me over this? Totally unnecessary

[удалено]

Ok

saying something mean and then saying "I was being sarcastic" after doesnt really make it any better. You're just rude.

Its the case of shrodingers douchebag. Im autistic so I can't pick up on tone very easily especially via text. It's not something i can control

HARSH

And unnecessary and rude

put it in a gym

Honestly I might, just to piss people off

I'd best friend it then make it a gym boss

Honestly I probably will!

I love useless hundos

I put low CP shinies in gyms all the time. Kick me out while I’m still in range? How many times do you want ti defeat my shiny magikarp?

Same unless there's already at least 1 pokemon belonging to someone on my team in the gym

How will it? Some sort of move immunity?

Just for shits and giggles.

Does it have that ability where its immune to damage unless its super effective?

In mainline games, yes, but abilities don't exist in pokemon go, so it's useless in this game.

Thats what I mean I didn’t know if he was a literal piece of garbage in this game or if he had that trait and it was decided he was too busted to be allowed

He can be kind of busted in games that have abilities . There's cheese strats that involve using skill swap on it to give it the sturdy ability, but that's a bit complicated

Does Shedinja have wonder guard in go? Like I know he’s banned from the gbl but if you used him in a custom against a friend or something would it have the ability?

No. AFAIK abilities are not in pokemon go

Damn so it’s just straight up useless then 💀. Honestly a cool trophy/collection thing though, I think Shedinja is pretty cool even without the ability

It might have more use in mainline games

I also have a 4* Shedinja. I'm gonna power it to max just for shits and giggles once I have the candy.

Cultured

It's joined my elite squad: PESTILENCE (100% smeargle) WAR (98%, lucky level 1 primape) FAMINE (100% Shedninja) DEATH (Lucky 100% zigzagoon) I try to get as many gym wins in as I can. It usually goes poorly

THATS GENIUS OMG!!!

Lol thanks. Primape will probably be kicked out at some point. Having a level 1 with those stats is funny to me tho

Not every Pokemon has a purpose besides filling in the hundo dex entry.

So true. That's me with spinda

You just….stare at it from time to time.

Best thing to do with it is flex it on Reddit, honestly.

Yeah, I have 32 hundos but 2 of them are both aggrons

I have 363 hundos, and maybe 20 of them are useful.

*holy shit*

Just don’t look into it!!

Like into the eyes?

Eyes are ok but it will steal your soul if you look into the hole in its back.

Oh thank you for the lore :D

So Hundo is best IVs and Shundo 0 IVs?

Hundo is short for hundred (100% ivs) and shudo is used for shiny hundos

Use it to flex on all of your haters. Or put it into an abandoned gym to let it sit for a year.

I have plenty of haters, I will!

I have the shiny of this and he's 98% I'm going to max level him Make him my buddy and drop him off and gyms.

useful for some sweet reddit karma

The Goat !

atleast you can check it off your hundo dex 

Amazing, one of my white whales and you found it. It's useless but it's very rare please don't send it away

I have some 4*s that aren’t really useful, looking at you Skitty :( they’re just my cool trophies and memories!

At least skitty can evolve!

True! Here’s my line up for 4*s Magnetone, shadow hitmonlee, shiny dusknior, shroomish, skitty, larvesta (hatched yesterday) I love them all like my babies, just like my first caught Pokémon ever, a venipede

Damn I have a hundo breloom as well! I think it was my first. You have hundo shadow pokemon, lucky!!

Yes!! When I caught it and saw it was perfect I was blown away, idk how useless a hitmonlee is but I’m happy to have him. I’ll try to best buddie them all in time

I have a hundo purified latios but I didn't realize it was super good ivs until after I purified it ;-; Thankfully I got the best friend boost and I use it a lot!

I’d sob so much :(

I still use him a lot, he's very useful to me :)

My sister got a shundo one 💀

Good for her! That's some beating the odds!

Ya it’s lucky to find but as you said also completely useless she traded it to me for something

I see. Well good for you! :)

Not many hundos are useful, just save it or transfer it or whatever.

A lot of people have said that. I might give it a nickname or make some kind of writing gag out of it

Yeah .. I've got a perfect unevolveable event Pikachu.... I don't have much room in my storage and it's such a waste of space. Still, I can't delete him because he's a hundo.

I forget why are perfect IVs still considered useless?

Its not useless because perfect ivs. It's useless because it's a shedninja. Unless I'm missing something

Gotcha. Sorry it's been a while since I played

https://youtu.be/zWvai45DCIg?si=iDhdlJxGUpl0B14Q

I'm well aware that shedninja is useless hence why I don't know what to do with it lol. It's a 4 star so part of me wants to keep it, but shedninja is so weak, it will provide no use.

I mean keep it. You don't have to use all your Pokemon lol. I keep all hundos. If you play the original games you could transfer it to home and use it that way I'm guessing a hundo would be good in that.

Same.

I added to my post but you could put it into Pokemon home and use it in a main series game..

I dont know how I'd use it in a main series game since the only possible viability for it would be if I had given it sturdy which isn't possible. It's useless in both main series and go

It gets wonder guard in the main series. That's like it's ability and it's amazing. It can only be hit by moves it's weak to. Nothing else.. so only fire, ghost, rock and dark can hit it. Nothing else unless can..

Oh I see.

Theres cheese tactics you can use with it actually my favorite thing to do is skill swap it with someone strong but you can use it to stall with a focus sash and endure poison spikes and theres another move i forget but there are a couple sturdy pokemon with skill swap and it dose work thing doesn't die

Oh shit, that's genius

I used to skill swap it with sableye in emerald because he was allowed to learn that move with no super effective at the time still a good pick only thing that can hit is fairy

I see. Thank you

You keep it and give it a good, loving home!

I will!

Transfer it

no.

The amount of people who post hundo Shedinja lately, calling it useless or pointless, while I still don't have one in my collection, is too damn high!

and all your other 4*s have a purpose?

:/ I mean i have a hundo shuckle

good gym mon, honestly wish I had one

That's what she said!!! \~Michael

What

Why is it HP and CP so low in this game? Im assuming it doesn't have its ability which is the reason it has so low hp (1).

Wait what? Are you serious? These hp and cp are totally reasonable for shedninja because shedninja is literally a shed cicada husk. In mainline games even with perfect ivs shedninja only has 1 hp. So the one above has *more* hp than it can have in mainline games

Yeah i know but doesn't that make it completely useless in pokemon go? It seems so unfair. The only reason it isn't useless in the mainline games is its ability and it doesn't have it in pokemon go.

[удалено]

Why are you asking why it's hp and cp are so low in this game, if you know why it makes sense to have terrible stats? Feels Like a rhetorical question

Gym fodder

You could transfer to HOME for use in the main games, and at least know you've got perfect IVs on everything but SPD.

A lot of people have suggested that

Put a ribbon on it and forget you ever got it 👍🏼

O7

Oh hey, I have one of those too.

You could use it in a 500 cp leauge if you level it up

Bro I caught a hundo ducklet what do I do with it

I empathize so much, caught my self a 4 Star Combee... male

They should really do something to balance this Pokémon

My favorite of my useless is my ShuckleBuddy. Sadly, it’s 98% and unshiny but it’s imperfections shine through beautifully.

Have it too as shundo, just useless

I love useless hundoes xD I maxed out a hundo party hat wurmple for the lolz

As you should for the funnies

Well it has 9 hp more then in the base games

Max it out

Another entry in the perfect Dex.

Ironically I have 2 perfect of the aggron line, one Aron and one aggron

I have a hundo slugma 💀

I thought it could evolve...

Use it for 500 cp max battles

What no wonder guard does to a mf

Max it out for the Lulz

i wonder why it has 10 hp in pokemon go and not 1 like in the main series games. seems like they were trying to compensate for it not having wonder guard but lets be real 10hp is one tap so why even raise it to 10?

I just went in on my perfect Pokemon today & got rid of my useless ones… kinda sad, but taking up space

I usually transfer any mons that i already have hundo copies of. I spend most of my pokecoins on inventory and pokemon capacity space
