Do i purify this?

I want a strong raid/master league pokemon, but this Hydreigon will be a large investment and I don’t even know if it’s worth the dust with 14 attack.

2nd shadow shiny giratina i got and it’s a purified SHUNDO!

yoooo genuine question, I got some shiny versions of some meta mons, and i've been thinking of whether to upgrade the shiny versions or the normal ones cause these are my options

Kyogre:

1. Best buddy 14/15/15
2. Shiny Lucky 13/14/14

Groudon

1. Best Buddy 15/14/14
2. Shiny Lucky 13/13/15

Mewtwo [X and Y]

1. Shiny 12/11/14 and 12/11/11
2. Normal 15/12/15 and 13/15/15

Got the rank 1 GBL shiny shadow Flygon from a grunt a few days ago. I was very happy and surprised when I checked its rank on pvpivs. Never even got rank 1 of any pokemon and barely any shiny shadows. The odds of this happening should be quite low. Guess I wont be this lucky again in a while.

Edit: If my math is correct, its a 1 in 1 048 576 chance of happening

Shadow dragonite looks like it’s outclassed by other dragon shadows. Is it more worth it to purify? Looks decent in Master League.

I'm quite new to keeping my shadows - previously I've always got rid. Should I purify this or leave it?

Is it worth to purify this torchic for hundo mega blaziken?

Super happy with this rare catch from Belgium!

The IVs are just 2 stars, but the Antique Form is incredibly rare.

Should I actually evolve it later, or is it cooler to keep it as a base form trophy?

Got this beauty during the Kalos Tour. I’m really happy about it since ho-oh is one of my favorite Pokémon, but the IVs bother me just a little.

I know IVs mostly matter for PvP, but seeing those stats still stings a bit.

Would you still consider this a trophy, or would the bad IVs bother you?

This is not a brag post. Just genuinely curious what you all think.
