26th to June 2nd, Dynamax Gastly, Padov,
00:02:28
Rookie D, which is another new Dynamax

Pokemon and a hard Pokemon to get
00:02:31
candies for. So cool. It's in the
00:02:32
Dynamax battles and Dynamax Fallings.
00:02:34
We'll see Max Mondays every Monday from

hours every Tuesday from 6:00 to 7:00
00:02:51

00:02:55
6, we're going to have Fur Ruin
00:02:56
Spotlight Hour with two times Catch
00:02:58
Candy. That should be a good spotlight
00:02:59
hour. We'll get into which Spotlight

00:03:15
forever. We got any size you want
00:03:17
available, and there's the two sick

colorways of the black or the beige. Let
00:03:21
me know which one you like the most. And
00:03:23
look, I'll save you time from checking
00:03:24
the site for the price. They're 35 USD
00:03:27
each, but remember, it's a pre-order, so
00:03:29
once it's gone, it's gone forever. Last
00:03:31
day to buy is May 3rd. Don't miss out.
00:03:33
Hit the link in the description to grab
00:03:35
yours. Now, back to the video. In terms
00:03:37
of in-game events going down in May, the
00:03:39
growing up event is going to be the
00:03:40
first one May 2nd to May 7th. Toxil
00:03:43
returning in 10 km eggs, increased
00:03:44
chance of extra extra smalls and extra
00:03:46
extra larges, as well as shiny boost on
00:03:48
Magikarp, Swablu, and Wimpod. Full tips
00:03:50
video coming out for tips for that
00:03:51
event. Mega Kangaskhan Ray Day will be
00:03:53
our raid day for the month, Saturday,
00:03:54
May 3rd from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. This is
00:03:56
the second Mega Ray Day for Mega
00:03:58
Kangaskon, but it is a regional Pokémon,
00:04:00
so really good to grab it. And also, it
00:04:02
is getting a legacy move, Stomp added to
00:04:04
its move pool. Not that it'll make it
00:04:05
really any better. The crown clash event
00:04:06
is then going to be May 10th to the
00:04:08
18th. This will debut Poniard's second
00:04:10
stage evolution, King Gambit. And we
00:04:12
will be getting two new costume Pokémon
00:04:13
for Nidto Queen and Nidto King.
00:04:15
Dynamaxun max battle weekend will then
00:04:17
be May 10th and May 11th. We'll see the
00:04:19
debut of Dynamaxun, the sixth Dynamax
00:04:22
legendary Pokemon to come to Pokémon Go.
00:04:24
Pretty much the exact same thing as the
00:04:25
Ente weekend we just had past this
00:04:27
weekend, but it's Mayday will then be
00:04:30
Sunday, May 11th from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
00:04:32
We don't know what the Pokemon will be
00:04:33
yet at the time making this video, but
00:04:34
hopefully a good one. We then have the
00:04:35
Crown Clash taken over event which is
00:04:38
going to be going down May 14th to May
00:04:39
18th. Shadow Di Alga is going to be
00:04:42
available from Giovani. We're going to
00:04:43
see new shadow Pokemon like Shadow
00:04:45
Slack, Ink, Tyrant, and Amora. You'll be
00:04:47
able to remove frustration from your
00:04:48
shadow Pokemon and probably some new
00:04:50
shiny shadows from the leaders. So, a
00:04:52
lot to be excited for for that. There'll
00:04:53
also be a Shadow Ray Day May 17th from
00:04:55
2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Don't know what the
00:04:56
feature Pokémon will be yet, but my
00:04:58
guess is probably Shadow Lugia because
00:05:00
we did see Shadow Hoo as the last raid
00:05:02
day for shadows. The final strike go
00:05:04
battle week is the next event May 21st
00:05:06
to May 27th. This is a GBL themed event
00:05:08
with the bonuses of things like four
00:05:10
times started from win rewards, free
00:05:11
battle theme, timed research, 100
00:05:13
battles every single day available, and
00:05:15
no IV floor on PvP encounters. We'll
00:05:17
have a tips video about this, but if you
00:05:19
like battling, mark your calendars. Make
00:05:21
a classic then be May 24th from 2:00 to
00:05:22
5:00 p.m. Again, don't know what the
00:05:24
featured Pokémon will be. It would be
00:05:25
cool if it was something like Machop
00:05:26
because we do have Gigantamax debut
00:05:28
coming very soon. And that actually does
00:05:30
bring us to the Gigantamax debut. May
00:05:32
25th, 2 to 5:00 p.m. is Gigantamax
00:05:34
Machamp Max Battle Weekend. Yes, thing
00:05:36
has been teased all season. It's been in
00:05:38
every trailer. We're finally getting it
00:05:39
right at the end of the season. And it's
00:05:40
going to be the same as the uh Max
00:05:42
Battle Weekend for Snorlax. So like
00:05:44
increase max particle collection limit.
00:05:45
There's going to be Gigantamax battles
00:05:47
everywhere, all that stuff. Tips for
00:05:49
every single event coming. Stay tuned.
00:05:51
Okay, let's get into the tips. What are
00:05:52
the best Pokémon to focus on this month?
00:05:54
Starting with the raids, we have
00:05:55
Tapufini. This is a great Pokemon for
00:05:57
PvP. It's ranked 282 in the great
00:05:58
league, 43 in the Ultra League, and 66
00:06:01
in the Master League. Do note to get it
00:06:03
for the Great League, you need to catch
00:06:04
one that's non-weather boosted and trade
00:06:06
it with a friend to try to get your IVs
00:06:07
lower so it can fit into the 1500 CP
00:06:09
cap. Tap Bulu is also available from
00:06:11
raids this month. It's ranked number 16
00:06:13
in the open master league and it's also
00:06:15
a decent grass-type attacker in Pokémon
00:06:17
Go. Moving on to the mega raids, Mega
00:06:19
Hound, which is the number four dark
00:06:20
type attacker in Pokémon Go, number 19
00:06:22
as a fire type. It's also a very cheap
00:06:24
mega evolution Pokemon, only 100 mega
00:06:26
energy to mega evolve it. Mega Gyarados
00:06:28
is returning as well, which is the
00:06:29
number nine dark type attacker in
00:06:30
Pokemon Go, number five as a water type.
00:06:32
It's also ranked number 40 in the Mega
00:06:34
Master League if that ever does return.
00:06:36
Mega Gyarados does cost 300 mega energy
00:06:37
to Mega Evolve, so this is a good mega
00:06:39
to grab if you do not have it yet for
00:06:40
your decks. Mega Alaria is also
00:06:42
returning. Not a strong Mega, but a good
00:06:44
Pokemon for Mega Boost. It is a fairy
00:06:46
and dragon type Pokemon. So, for
00:06:48
upcoming events like potentially the Kos
00:06:49
tour, this could be a good Pokemon to
00:06:51
have highle mega so you can mega evolve
00:06:52
it and get more candy and XP and XL
00:06:54
candy for catching Pokemon that are
00:06:56
either dragon or fairy types which are
00:06:57
usually pretty good Pokemon. It is
00:06:59
another 300 mega energy Pokemon to mega
00:07:01
evolve. So, it makes you do a couple
00:07:02
raids for it. As far as the max battles,
00:07:03
the best ones to go after, we do have
00:07:05
Squirtle returning which you can evolve
00:07:06
into Dynamax Blastoise. One of the best
00:07:08
tank Pokemon in Pokémon Go, especially
00:07:10
against things like Dynamax Suicun,
00:07:12
which will be returning. It is a water
00:07:14
type, so it can really resist all the
00:07:16
water moves Sweetcoon will throw at it.
00:07:17
Dynamax Chansy is in there, which you
00:07:18
can evolve into Dynamax Blissy. One of
00:07:20
the best tank Dynamax attackers in
00:07:22
Pokémon Go. I guess it's not a tank
00:07:24
attacker, but tanks has an insane HP
00:07:26
stat, so it can just take hits while you
00:07:28
build your max meter and work towards
00:07:29
Dynamaxing. Will be very, very effective
00:07:31
against things like Dynamax. Also,
00:07:33
Chanse and Blissey are good gym
00:07:35
defenders, so make sure you do battles
00:07:36
for them. Dynamax drill burst returning,
00:07:37
which can evolve into Excadrill, a
00:07:39
really really strong max attacking
00:07:40
Pokemon. Also a really really good tank
00:07:42
Pokemon against any electric type
00:07:43
Dynamax boss or Gigantamax like toxicity
00:07:45
if it returns. Dynamax grew keys in
00:07:47
there which equax Riiboom which is a
00:07:49
good grass-type max attacker. Actually
00:07:51
the number five versus Dynamax suicon
00:07:53
also does have a gigantamax variant in
00:07:55
the future so you can grind candies for
00:07:56
it. And Riiboom is also ranked number 10
00:07:58
as a grass-type raid attacker. Dynamax
00:08:00
pads in there which have a Dynamax
00:08:02
unfasant. This is the third best max
00:08:04
attacker against Gigantamax champamp at
00:08:06
the end of the month. So make sure you
00:08:07
get a couple of these. They're also very
00:08:08
cheap to power up and evolve and all
00:08:09
that stuff. And PDV is an only 12 candy
00:08:12
evolution. Dynamax Bulbasaur there which
00:08:13
evolve into Dynamax Venusaur. The number
00:08:15
three Dynamax tank Pokemon against
00:08:17
Dynamax Machamp and number eight against
00:08:19
Dynamax. Also does have a Gigantamax
00:08:21
variant if you want to grind candies for
00:08:23
it. And Venusaur does have a mega
00:08:24
evolution which mega Venusaur is the
00:08:26
number two grass type attacker. Dynamax
00:08:27
Charmander is in there which evolves to
00:08:28
Dynamax Charizard, the number four max
00:08:31
attacker against Gigantamax Machamp.
00:08:33
Dynamax Beldum's in there which evolves
00:08:34
to Dynamax Metagross. Dynamax Metagross
00:08:36
is the number one max attacker against
00:08:37
Gigantamax Machamp. and overall just a
00:08:39
really really good max battle Pokemon.
00:08:41
It's also number four as a steel type
00:08:42
attacker in Pokémon Go and does have a
00:08:44
mega form in the future. Mega Metagross
00:08:46
is the number two steel type attacker
00:08:47
when it comes to Pokémon Go. Dynamax
00:08:48
Darakos in there evolve that to Dynamax
00:08:50
Darmanitan. One of the best fire type
00:08:52
Dynamax attackers. Also a very good fire
00:08:55
type raid attacker as well. We have
00:08:56
Dynamax Sable Eye, which is Sabaly. I
00:08:59
love Sabalai. But Sabalai does get you
00:09:01
750 stardust every time you catch it. So
00:09:03
if you do these bosses, you can grind
00:09:04
some stardust. Dynamax Rookie D's in
00:09:06
there. the new one. Evolve that into
00:09:07
Dynamax Coranite, the second best max
00:09:10
attacker against Gigantamax Machamp.
00:09:11
Also potentially amazing tank versus any
00:09:14
sort of grass type max battle boss.
00:09:16
Corvanite does have a Gigantamax variant
00:09:18
as well in the future. So you can go
00:09:19
ahead and grind candies for that. And
00:09:21
Corvanite is also ranked number 12 in
00:09:22
the Great League and two in the Ultra
00:09:24
League. So a good PvP Pokemon. Finally,
00:09:26
we have Dynamax Suicun, the sixth
00:09:27
legendary actually coming to Pokémon Go
00:09:29
in the Dynamax variant. Dynamaxun is a
00:09:32
tanky Pokemon. doesn't have high attack
00:09:34
and unfortunately in the tank roll you
00:09:36
actually need a fast move that is a very
00:09:38
quick fast move a one turn fast move cuz
00:09:40
this will build your max meter the
00:09:41
quickest doesn't have this. So this
00:09:43
Pokemon is unfortunately just kind of
00:09:45
not that useful in the Dynamax battles.
00:09:47
The one unique ability it has is it can
00:09:49
learn hidden power via elite fast which
00:09:52
can be any type of move and max moves
00:09:54
copy the type of your fast attack. So if
00:09:56
you have like a hidden power dragon on
00:09:58
your suicon your max attack on your
00:10:00
suiconun would be a dragon type move
00:10:01
which is cool. Don't know if it's that
00:10:02
useful though cuz it attack is not that
00:10:04
high. Great to grab though if you want
00:10:05
to hunt some shinies or you want some
00:10:06
candies for it. Now in terms of the best
00:10:07
spotlight hours, we do have fur
00:10:09
spotlight hour. This is a great
00:10:10
spotlight hour for anyone who needs to
00:10:12
catch fur so they can go ahead and try
00:10:13
to get the shinies and form change them
00:10:14
for when they're traveling. This is
00:10:16
really good as well because Go Fest
00:10:17
season is coming up. So if you're going
00:10:18
to Osaka, Paris, New Jersey, wherever
00:10:20
you're going that you might be traveling
00:10:22
to a different area where fur can form
00:10:24
change, grab yourself some shiny fur.
00:10:25
Two times cash candy is also great cuz
00:10:27
you can grind a lot of candy for fur.
00:10:29
And remember to pin your gifts for
00:10:30
scatterbug encounters and catch those
00:10:32
scatterbugs during the spotlight hour to
00:10:33
get two times catch candy on the
00:10:35
scatterbug checks. Sandy gas spotlight
00:10:37
hour is also another great one. It is a
00:10:39
rare shiny Pokémon for sure. It is a new
00:10:41
shiny Pokémon and you have the bonus of
00:10:42
two times transfer candy. So any Pokemon
00:10:44
you've been hoarding for the last month.
00:10:46
Hoard them until Sandy got spotlight
00:10:48
hour and transfer them then for two
00:10:49
times candy. Also a good time to just
00:10:51
clear out your storage for the Go Fest
00:10:53
coming up so you have space to catch new
00:10:54
Pokemon. Pooa Spotlight Hour is one you
00:10:56
can skip, but if you are planning on
00:10:58
evolving your Panchams or shiny
00:10:59
Panchchams, make them your buddy. Catch
00:11:01
32 Pooas during the hour to quickly
00:11:03
evolve it. Finally, Gollet spotlight
00:11:05
hour is the last one. Goldlet evolves
00:11:06
into Golur, which is ranked 80 in the
00:11:08
Great League, 73 in the Ultra League,
00:11:10
and also good time to grind Stardust
00:11:12
because of the bonus of two times catch
00:11:13
Stardust. So, go ahead and put on a star
00:11:15
piece, catch as many golds as you can.
00:11:16
It's a rare shiny as well. Good luck.
00:11:18
Now, remember always to go to raid hour
00:11:20
meetups because of the seasonal bonuses
00:11:22
we have. Specifically, any legendary you
00:11:24
catch during a raid hour this season.
00:11:26
You're getting a guaranteed Excel candy.
00:11:28
So, do not miss those raid hours. Even
00:11:29
if it's like a thing like Azelf, which
00:11:31
is a pretty useless raid boss, still go
00:11:33
and catch the Azelf, use Iceburn to make
00:11:35
it easier to catch those Pokémon and you
00:11:37
can grind a lot of rare exo candy to put
00:11:38
into other Pokémon like, I don't know,
00:11:40
Mew, Celabe, Zygarde. Remember as well,
00:11:42
any event you go to, Spotlight Hour, Max
00:11:44
Monday, Raid Hour,
00:11:45
Comma Evolve accordingly. When you mega
00:11:48
evolve a Pokemon, any Pokemon you catch
00:11:50
that shares a type with the mega, you'll
00:11:51
get more candy, XP, and XL candy. So, if
00:11:53
you're going to play Grrooie Max Monday,
00:11:55
Mega Evolve a grass type. Also, we do
00:11:57
have the bonus of increased friendship
00:11:59
damage in raids this season. So, make
00:12:02
sure you go ahead and play these raid
00:12:03
focused events with friends. On top of
00:12:05
that, party up with your friends cuz
00:12:06
you'll get access to party play. Party
00:12:08
play is going to be able to be charged
00:12:10
up and activated and it's going to make
00:12:12
your charge move do double damage. You
00:12:13
can really take down raids really,
00:12:15
really easily if you raid with friends,
00:12:17
but also party up this month. Finally,
00:12:19
remember to attend community ambassador
00:12:20
meetups. Go on campfire, sort by
00:12:22
meetups, and look for the community
00:12:23
ambassador hosted meetups with the
00:12:25
rewards tab. These are going to be
00:12:26
hosted during Max Mondays, spotlight
00:12:28
hours, raid hours, community days, any
00:12:30
event in Pokémon Go, they can host a
00:12:32
meetup. And if you go to these meetups,
00:12:34
not only will you find other players to
00:12:35
play with, but you can also check in and
00:12:37
get a free timed research. Check into
00:12:39
community ambassador meetup and
00:12:40
depending on the event you will get a
00:12:42
different reward. Attend a max Monday or
00:12:44
any max event and that timed research
00:12:46
will get you 800 max particles. A split
00:12:48
hour or hatch day will always get you a
00:12:49
super incubator. Raid hours and raid
00:12:51
days will get you one free raid pass and
00:12:52
communities will get you a star piece, a
00:12:54
lure, and an incense. Three items. Also,
00:12:57
if you join a party when you're at a
00:12:59
meetup and you're checked in, you will
00:13:00
get 25% less egg incubator distance. So,
00:13:03
anytime you're going to be focused on
00:13:04
hatching eggs this month, attend the
00:13:06
meetup so you can get even less egg and
00:13:07
cube distance cuz this does stack with
00:13:09
already existing bonuses. Watch your two
00:13:10
videos on screen and let me know what
00:13:11
you think of main and Pokémon Go. Skip
00:13:13
or play and follow more tips. Please.
