In a few days, the second part of the Halloween event in Pokémon GO will begin. Pokémon trainers are looking forward to the new Shadow Pokémon that will be available during the event. A user has taken the time to list the Pokémon that are worth grinding.
Which Pokémon are particularly worth it? During the event, there will be many new Shadow Pokémon that appear in Shadow raids or are used by Team GO Rocket. In the reddit forum, a user has created a tier list and listed which Shadow Pokémon you should definitely catch.
He lists some of the monsters that Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra will use at the start of the event. According to him, you should definitely catch the pre-evolutions of the following Pokémon in the order listed (via reddit.com):
- Rameidon
- Rihornior
- Skelabra
- Gengar
- Stalobor
The user shows in some tables how these Pokémon perform against the competition. Especially Rameidon and Rihornior are said to be strong Pokémon worth grinding. Overall, the event feels more like Christmas than Halloween, as Niantic is “giving away” extremely strong Pokémon.
The user is even sure: This is the best lineup of Shadow Pokémon there has ever been. He is already looking forward to grinding at the event and strengthening his team in PvP and PvE.
In the comments, there are many users who have only small remarks and are otherwise grateful for the work the fan has put into his tables.
There are more Shadow Pokémon during the event, so the agony of choice may be difficult. You can find the other Pokémon here:
Cryptos are stronger, but also cost more
What are Shadow Pokémon actually? You can obtain the special monsters by defeating grunts or bosses of Team GO Rocket. As a reward, you can catch a Pokémon from their team.
You can recognize Shadow Pokémon by their red eyes and the purple smoke surrounding them. They also differ in their stats: They are stronger, cost more Stardust to level up, and have the move Frustration.
Shadow Pokémon can be redeemed for some Stardust and candies. Then they receive a bonus of two points on each stat. However, it is sometimes worth keeping the Pokémon in its Shadow version.
Currently, trainers can receive additional rewards with the Limited Research: Pokémon GO: Limited Research for Halloween brings you Stardust – All rewards
