  • 00:02:34
    We'll see Max Mondays every Monday from
  • 00:02:36

    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
  • 00:03:00
    Hours are the best to play in a bit. May
  • 00:03:01

  • 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
