hey everyone welcome back to the channel today is going to be du D poder Spotlight hour just turned six o00 so hopefully these will all turn into dup iders as you can see there we all have done oh just catch me breath back after coming up that hill so duw bider is on Spotlight hours today obviously it's shiny was released about two years ago now and I'll just turn my comments on as well so hopefully you can join in in the comment section [Music] below so it was released shiny around about two years ago now well over a year ago at least anyway join me London go Fest in 2023 if you attended that then you could probably drop on a sh sh if you stuck around the habitat of which it was in I managed to get one shiny in London 2023 since then it's not really been a very common spawn it's been spawning in and out of events ever since but not something that's ever been featured fully in an event so it has been hard to get a hold of that second shiny to complete the family so hopefully we can do that today now to boost our CH is with that we are going to be using the spatial Ren so we're going to trigger that now on our palia so let's type in palia and then we've got the one with spatial Rend right there the one with LA background that was traded to me and then we can use spatial run so what that does if you don't already know is it increases the area in which the Pokémon spawn of a spawn distance that gets increased and therefore you'll see a lot more juice biders actually appearing next to [Music] us so I really do like juice spiders a as a uh Pokemon it is really coolly designed little spider with carrying a little water little water bubble above its head really nice design and if you haven't already seen the shiny I will show you the shiny that we already had before in London a couple of years ago or last year should I say and it is a really really nice shiny it goes to a purple color and obviously purple possibly being one of my most favorite colors especially with the likes of Gengar which is my favorite Pokemon being that purple color so we'll just quickly try and catch these spawning around here before we then move on so it is a full odd shiny it's one in 512 so if you were expecting it to be boosted unfortunately it's not it is a full odds most Spotlight hours are actually full odds very rarely do we get any boosted odds in the spotlight [Music] hour what we do obviously get the boosted spawns [Music] but it is also two times catch Stardust as well so we will be dropping a star piece on we might as well do that now just before we forget so let's drop a star piece on and if you really want to you can put two on and you can really quickly do it on the side now you allowed that feature where you can just click on what items you already have on and you can stack them straight on top of each other so it savs you're going into your item bag over time and stacking them that way so really cool little feature something that I think most of the community have been wanting for a while finally they've added it into the game now obviously you can see as well on the nearby we have got some Dynamax battles now Dynamax battles started today it is the start of a new event and with that the go big event it is obviously all about Dynamax as is the whole max out season and this this is the first time that we've actually seen Dynamax battles in the game we've obviously got Dynamax Pokemon before but when have been from research so we've all well if you completed research if you got to the most latest stage of research then you would have all had two wulu and a squavid all that all are Dynamax Pokemon and there's a reason why you've got three in total it's because when you enter a Dynamax battle you can only actually put free Pokémon in the battle so that's why they've give us free on [Music] Research so we'll talk a little bit more about the Dynamax battles in a bit we'll just be catching some of these due spiders at the moment and then we'll discuss a little bit more about Dynamax battles and we might have time to do one as well or do a couple at least before we leave a stream today so I'll swap over to Ultra Balls he seem to be a little bit annoying to catch today at a moment hey thanks for joining us let me know in the comments below if you've already done your Spotlight hour or if you're awaiting your Spotlight hour are you going to be shiny chasing do spider for yourself is's a super cool looking shiny I'm okay thank you I don't do that on a comment thanks for commenting but I won't be doing anything like else loads of people will be asking loads of stupid requests so I'm not going to for for that thanks very much Jo [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so loads and loads of spawns around here at the moment absolutely loads of them so we'll try and capture up most of these before we move on let's see if any of these are going to spark up so like I was saying I have put spatial Rend on so spatial Rend is the origin form of paly's Adventure effect and with that we do get those increased distance spawns which is really really cool with events like this Spotlight hours where you really want the shiny it just helps you to get those ones that are a bit further away a bit Out Of Reach maybe in a residential area you can't get behind where some of these spawns actually appear or maybe like me you can't get into all these fields around me where these Jew jewers are actually spawning so it does make a massive difference on how far you can reach as you can see so we're going to try and catch as many as we can and at least check them if you don't stay in the ball then that's fine but let's see if we can check as many as we can as we head around it is a really really cool shiny hopefully we can get one on stream to show you if not we have got that one in my storage already but hopefully we can finish a family off today and we can evolve one as well live on stream that'll be really nice nice like I say it was released a year or so ago now London 2023 go Fest it was released so the start of August time in 2023 and it was in one of habitats down London I don't know if it featured much in the go Fest Global that same year but since then it's not really featured much in events it's been in and out of spawns it's like a generic normal spawn but it doesn't spawn that often really so to get it on a spotlight hour is really [Music] cool and like I say it's probably as a shiny that most people are still after in the game unless you got very very lucky with the ones that you have clicked on in the wild before this Spotlight hour you may already have the family complete so it's not a bad throwing Circle to be getting these if you do take your time you can actually land it quite a few accent throws on these right about there so if you are wanting the XP it's not a bad one to take your time with and get those accent throws it isn't any additional bonus for XP today so the the bonus that runs alongside Spotlight hours every week it does change there's about four or five different bonuses that it sort of alternates each week and today is two times catch Stardust so hence why we've gone and put a star piece on or two star pieces on to last as a whole so hopefully we can get some more Stardust during this event so like I say we will be talking a little bit more about the Dynamax battles very soon we'll probably head down to one in a bit as well and do one live on stream in the middle of the spotlight hour today but with Dynamax Pokemon it's going to be interesting to see how they fit into the game a few people have still got a lot of questions about it obviously the Dynamax battles themselves have actually been released today whereas before we had a week where we knew they were going to be coming but we didn't really know in what way they were going to be affecting the game now realistically at the moment it's not going to change much in the way the game is being played at the moment in time you have got these additional power spots which aren't replacing Poké stops or gyms or anything like that that we currently have in the game they are other points of interest that have either been added to the game but haven't made it into the game because they're too close to other things or they are things that are in the other games like Ingress Etc but also generic businesses have also been put in so that's probably why you seeing a few around your area that are generic businesses something that wouldn't normally make a stop it has become a power spot now these power spots are time limited so normally they last for around about two days and then they disappear and they'll probably pop up at a different place so definitely keep your eye on those now the max battle raids or Max battle should I say on these power spots they've just started today and with those we've got the introduction of five Dynamax Pokemon two that we've already seen already so they are squet and wulu both of which we've had on a free research leading up to this go big event which is started today and then we have the introduction of fre three more Dynamax Pokémon today and they are the Kanto starters so Bulbasaur Squirtle and Charmander have all been released on the max battles so you can get them and you can get them shiny as well so it is definitely worth trying to get those if you can now at this moment in time you can only use Dynamax Pokemon in Dynamax battle Max battles so you can't use them in any other forms of raids or anything like so it will be interesting to see if you can use Dynamax Pokemon in normal rays in the future we have to wait and see because that might change the mattera quite a bit obviously there's been a lot of changes to the meta already over the last week or so which has caused a bit of disruption between the community online because it's seen some radical changes in terms of the best typings in game for raid battles so for instance Cartana the ultra Beast the sort of papermache looking grass type he has fell from number one grass type which he probably deserves to be at because he is super awesome and obviously whether it being an ultra Beast it's a lot harder get to get your hands on so Ultra beast and legendaries and mythicals tend to sit at the top of a gra top of the rankings but with these changes that have happened recently Cartana goes from number one grass type in the game straight down to number nine so it hasn't even just dropped a few few places it's fell right down to nearly outside the top 10 so is a little bit disappointing even even the lacks of shadow caturn beats it now as a grass T which is remarkable really so there is a big few changes to the meta already now Niantic have revealed that they were done on purpose it wasn't a glitch or anything like that a lot of people thought that it was by accident and that we've messed up in some way shape or form but unfortunately we haven't it was done on purpose but we are going to be monitoring it and seeing how those changes have affected people and the game and they might actually end up reverting back so my advice at this moment in time would not to be build not to build any more squads so let's say don't go out and build an all new grass type team just because cartel has fell from first ninth because they might actually revert back to what we had previously which then your new grass type team might just fall straight down the pecking order and your old Cartana team that you had set up if you had one would go straight back to the top so to save all that Stardust let's just wait a couple of weeks see how this plays out and see if Niantic go and revert what we've done over these last few days now obviously all these changes that we've made to the ra raid battles is because of the introduction to Dynamax so Dynamax battles like we were saying started today and I would assume all those are because of the introduction of Dynamax in a game so we'll wait and see what's to come of raid battles and Dynamax battles in the near future but for now like I say just hold off making any additional teams up carton is still a really really good grass type it's still not it's still going to get you sizable damage against any anything makes effective again so for instance Kyogre which will be on raids again tomorrow for raid hour it's still a really really good pick for that so don't go ahead and be setting up teams for KY rid hour tomorrow when you don't have to still keep with your Cartana team even though it might not be doing as much damage as what it was doing previously it's still a very very good pick and hopefully when you're raiding Kyogre tomorrow at raid hour it won't come that close to being a lose win or lose situation hopefully you win it by quite some time so Spotlight hour is every week t on a Tuesday it's 6:00 p.m. till 7: p.m. local time so here in the UK it's 6:17 at the moment so we're 17 minutes into our Spotlight hour so wherever you are at the moment it will be 6:00 p.m. your local time and it will always be the same Pokemon for everybody it will be uh dup Ider today so make sure to keep your eye out for them appearing around you and as with always Spotlight hours have increased spaes as well so you'll probably see a lot more spaes than you're normally used to appearing around you and obviously if you have got a pal here with spatial Ren you can also increase that spawn distance as we discussed before by using that Adventure effect and getting loads more spawns around you so there is a d Max wulu here so we'll probably go ahead and do that just just so I can show you how the Dynamax battles are laid out and you can see one being done live for yourself you might not have done one already you might already have done it you might be in a time zone where they haven't actually become active yet some people in before where far west of America might not have had him appear yet so we'll quickly jump into this battle after we just caught these du spiders so let's go ahead and do this one so it is free to do in terms of no raid passes need to be used you only have to use 250 Mega Part Max particles should I say now those Max particles are the ones that you collect from these power spots throughout the day you can only collect 800 a day so that's probably limits you to how many of these battles you can do and with those Max particles you can enter these Max battles for like I say for a cost of 250 so you don't have to use any raid passes at all so let's have a quick look and see how this works so as you can see Dynamax wulu there has appeared on the battlefield you can see the max meter above and you can also see the Pokemon remaining in the top right hand corner so we have three Pokemon remaining once that's once one of our Pokemon is fainted out it will go down to two and then to one and then obviously zero so if you do get all your Pokemon defeated by the um Dynamax Pokemon then obviously you will lose a battle now I'm unsure if you do lose whether it will cost you an extra 250 to re-enter I haven't yet lost one so these are just level one Dynamax raid so they are really easy to take down even if you have got a Wu against a wulu or a squet against a wulu they are super easy to take down so you won't have any troubles in soloing these so as you can see when the max bar at the top got all the way up to full we actually managed to Dynamax or Pokemon or Bulbasaur in that scenario and that had a well that had three max moves that it could use now those Max moves you can increase how powerful they are by spending your max particles on the Pokémon so if you want to spend your max particles on Pokémon you can go down to the bottom so let's just put that wulu on so you can pick a Pokemon that you want to place at a power stop and it will stay there and help others when they are battling so if you're in a built-up area and you want to be helping others in Max battles you can actually leave a Pokemon behind and it will stay there and help out in the future future battles so 10,000 XP two revives 10 premium balls now this is another feature that is quite new upgrade reward so you can get an additional 10,000 XP you can also get an additional two revives and another two balls all for the lovely price of 200 coins so don't think that's worth it at all especially when it's pretty much a guaranteed catch from your first ball so let's see how good this Wu is 371 don't know how good that is but let's have a quick look and see so I've not had one that's actually broke out so all of them have been caught on the first ball I definitely wouldn't recommend upgrading those rewards and spending 200 coins so let's see how good this one is it's a two star so not very good at all probably going to end up going into a bin eventually but for now we'll keep all the Dynamax Pokemon that we catch and we'll just see how useful we actually are and then we can decide whether to bid them or not but that is the Dynamax battles in the game as you can see we've left our Wu behind so you can see my name there my training level and also the Wu that I've left behind you can also see anybody else who has already left behind Pokemon in this list obviously I'm the only one to have done this one so far so these will appear with other names if anyone else has done it and left their Pokémon behind now I did counter one that had got eight Pokémon left behind so it isn't I don't know what the limit is at this moment in time on how many Pokémon can be left to help out others but only four Pokemon can enter a battlefield so you'll probably get mixed with three random people so you won't get all eight people joining you or however many is on that list you will probably just get mixed with another random three and then their Pokemon will join you on the battlefield and make it a lot easier to take it down now now at this moment in time it's not really beneficial obviously you will defeat it a lot quicker but it's not like you need those Pokémon to be left there like I say you can solo it as you've just seen it's a really easy solo I haven't even powered any of my Dynamax Pokemon up so and I still manag to do it with ease so it is something that can be done on your own really easily so 24 minutes into the spotlight hour we have done a Dynamax battle as well but no shiny from the spotlight out at the moment in time so if you have got any more questions about the Dynamax battles that I haven't answered in that quick run through when we've just been doing one make sure to drop a comment down below and I'll see if I can answer those if I can't answer them honestly I will just tell you that on un fortunately I can't answer that because I don't know myself so I won't just make up anything just to try and fill an answer so just make sure to drop down your comments below and test test how much I know about Dynamax but also learn something yourself so we only need one more shiny dup rer to get the family complete we will just have a quick look at what the shiny looks like the one that we got from London a couple of years ago we will have a quick look at that once the encounter hasn't Frozen so the shiny looks like this [Music] so it is a really really nice shiny like to say this was back in August 2023 6th of August it was when I attended the London go Fest in person event and is a super super nice shiny still don't know exactly what it looks like when it's evolved because I do like to get a family complete first before evolving the shinies just so I can evolve the best one so we'll hopefully be able to get that shiny family complete today and evolve on stream decide which is the best one on the IVs and evolve it so we will actually just go ahead and put that incense on as well the daily Adventure incense I don't think I'll have time much to do afterwards so we might as well do it during the spotlight hour weird Diglett wanting to be a part of the spot white hour [Music] action so also just saw our buddy out if you haven't already seen on the Channel Make sure you do like and subscribe on the channel by the way but if you haven't already seen on the channel I have been working on buddies quite a lot this year we've been trying to get to 500 best bues we're a little bit behind where we're supposed to be at this time of the year so we have got some claing back to do to get anywhere near that 500 Target by the end of the year but it is a super hard challenge to try and go after I started this year if you're wondering I started this year on 334 best budes which meant we needed 166 in a 12 month period so that's roughly around about 14 best buddies every month so not really light work to be doing but I do try and get through all 21 best Woodies or all 21 changes should I say 21 swaps each day which 21 is a maximum obviously you have a one that you left in from the night before that you can work on and then you have an additional 20 swap so you can actually swap into a total of 21 throughout the day so I do try and work on 21 every single day getting a minimum of six hearts with them all and all I'm doing now at this moment in time is quickly just getting me battle Hearts so to get the battle Hearts really quickly everybody you don't actually have to do any battling if you go down to the train Candela or train one of the team leaders you can actually just set up teams swipe across to the buddies that you've currently got in and you can start the battle wait until the countdown starts soon as it says go quit in the top left hand corner you'll obviously lose a battle but then when you go onto your body you'll see that you've got three battle hearts with it so we'll swap this body out after we've caught these and go into our next [Music] one so make sure to as I was saying before make sure to like And subscribe on the channel we are on the road to a th000 subscribers hopefully we can hit a th before get in yes shiny level one dup bider that is an awesome lucky shiny interrupted me advertising the channel as well so make sure to like And subscribe especially if you've just seen this really really awesome lucky shiny shiny level one as well that is super super cool catch it with a poke ball there we have it the shiny level one and it's probably decent for PVP although I don't know where it ranks with PVP I don't do too much PVP but those of a sort of stats that you do want for PVP especially the great League or Ultra League you do want low attack High defense and high HP so it might be good for PVP we'll have to wait and see how that Stacks up but that is a super cool looking shiny and I'm so glad to finally get this shiny we did miss out last week on the spotlight hour we didn't manage to get any shiny last week so it was really really cool that we managed to get that just at the halfway point as well so half an hour into the spotlight hour still another half an hour left to go so we might actually end up getting another one we'll have to wait and see but level one shiny super super cool but as I was saying make sure to like And subscribe on the video road to a th000 subscribers well underway and hopefully we can hit that Target before the end of the year it'll be really cool if all the targets I've set myself for 2024 come in all at the same time the YouTube subscribers obviously at the start of year I wasn't anticipating we're going to be anywhere near a thousand by the end of the year but we've got very very close so we might as well try and push over that line now so big shout out to everybody who's already subscribed but if you haven't make sure you do so we've just got Aruna so Garian Articuno 572 off the daily Adventure incense so this is turning out to be a really really cool Spotlight hour especially if we can catch this now I will be doing a video in the next couple of weeks about how you can increase your chances with these gallerian birds on catching them let's see if we can get a decent throw no we didn't even get a nice on that one broke out and it's gone so wild garan Articuno has fled now luckily enough we have Min to catch all of them already so I'm not too disappointed with that if I was wanting it I'd probably use a master ball we still haven't used actually any of our master balls at the moment I've still got three in the storage so I'll probably be waiting and saving those for when probably just for Aesthetics really so if there's ever a classic Gengar or classic Gastly Community Day if I do happen to come across a shundo I'll probably definitely use a master ball just for Aesthetics obviously that would require somebody else catching the hundo and making sure it's a hundo and then letting me know that there's a hundo there and then hopefully we can head down to it and get a shiny that is the dream that is a dream come true and even though it's a guaranteed catch pretty much on Shiny Pokemon we have been tending to run away actually in a wild Shiny Pokemon we do have a very low chance of running away but we can I did have a shiny Wingull once run away from me but that's my only shiny that's fled from me as far as I know but we do have a norm we do have a chance of running away as does every Pokémon obviously but I think the chances a lot less compared to a non- shiny [Applause] Pokémon a really cool Spotlight hour so far in this first half an hour we've managed to get an encounter with an Garian artic Kuno we've man got a shiny dup Ider which has completed the family and we've also managed to get a Max Battle complete and show you how that works so so far so good with the spotlight hour I don't think we actually appraised our previous dup Ider that we managed to get shiny in London to see if that's any better than one we've just caught but as we were saying the one we just caught perhaps is decent for PVP is super cool as well it's level one really really nice shiny level one Pokemon so can we get a second shiny in this Spotlight hour that would be awesome if we could so we'll just have a quick look at a minute how good the the previous Duke B we managed to get was in terms of IVs and we'll also have a quick look on how far that one we've just caught maxes out now it is a dynamite squet here by looks of it squet for some reason looks really really small on these Dynamax battles compared to all the other Pokemon which are featured on them does look T in comparison now there's another one as well which is another Dynamite squet so let's have a quick look let's just catch us one of the incense and we'll have a quick look at the IVs of all shinies that we've managed to get so far of this so let's have a quick look look at it so 209 was the one that we got in London and it's a one star please give me your trainer code I'm more than happy to put the trainer code on the screen towards the end of the video more than happy to do that there should be quite a few spawns around here it is normally a very populated spawn spot this so it is normally the spot as well where two tend to get quite a few shinies on Spotlight hours hasn't happened for quite a while now so hopefully we can break that and we can get one today it'll be the second that we've got of the hour but it' be very very nice if we do manage to get it so 38 minutes gone currently 20 minutes left so a third of a time left [Music] so Sierra is also there we'll probably just do Sierra be I've had a radar him for quite some time now and still not managed to get rid of it so let's get siarra done obviously siarra is the one that has Cartana not Cartana sorry would be very very nice if had Cartana no carvana so Sierra has carvana and obviously with that we can use our Cartana which will annihilate it to a certain degree really really cool grass type even though it has fell down the rankings as we was explaining before is a super cool grass type in the game still and still something that's definitely worth using in raids like I say the temporary the changes that we made might just be temporary so even though C has fell from number one in the rankings down to number nine it could end up being bounced right back up there so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on that I believe Metagross as well Shadow Metagross has fell from about second in the steel rankings to about fourth so there is quite a few radical changes that have happened due to Niantic messing about with the charge speed on certain fast moves and making some faster making some slower and also making the amount that be charge up the charge move increased or decreased depending on the move as well so it has messed a lot of things up what we originally knew about battling and about raids mostly is still intact but it has changed a hell of a lot even the ones that are at the top of rankings that have remained top of rankings we've either got slightly worse or slightly better in some scenarios I crosmer the dust man and the DOR Wings have both got really incredibly better than what we were already which both of them were at the top of our rankings already in the poison sorry in The Ghost and in the steel types but they have both gone up even higher than what we were before in terms of DPS so Shadow caran are you going to stay a ball first time we'll wait and see hopefully and then we can catch these dup idas around you lot of spawns around here at a moment in time so we'll just quickly try and catch through these as we see them so let me know in the comments below if you do want me to enter this Dynamax squet if you haven't yet seen a Max battle being completed let me know and we can do this Max battle and I can show you hary work we did do one previously but obviously if you missed that if you was out the channel and out of the stream when we did do that one then you would have missed it do like the design of his Pokemon even though I do hate spiders in real life do really really like the design of his Pokemon so doesn't seem to be staying in the ball a lot of the time these dup iders there some more spawns coming in so we will quickly do this Max battle as well so very very easy to do pick your free Dynamax Pokemon that you want to use I'm going to be using the Bulbasaur because it's higher CP and hopefully we'll be taking it down a bit quicker it's not super effective against it obviously squab only normal type so it's not really super effective against it but it still should take it down with pretty much with ease so as you can see there massive Dynamite squet we have the max meter as we were saying before and all Allied charg e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for
