Hey there, Trainers!
With the upcoming Shadow Ho-oh raids, it is more important now to elevate your raiding game play. With this in-depth guide, you will be well on your way to unleashing the power of Purified Gems and conquer all the upcoming Shadow Raid Bosses. Utilize this guide to learn the secrets to creating and making use of these special items to subdue the enraged state of the Shadow Raid Boss, making your battles more manageable and rewarding. The Purified Gems you can craft using this guide can be applied to all Shadow Raid bosses, regardless of their tier.
Understanding Purified Gems
Purified Gems stand as unique items crucial for victory in Shadow Raids, offering a strategic advantage in Pokémon Battles. To obtain these gems, you must embark on a mission to collect Shadow Shards by defeating Team GO Rocket Grunts, Leaders, and the formidable Giovanni. Your hard-fought victories will yield Shadow Gem Pieces, essential ingredients for creating Purified Gems.
Crafting Purified Gems
To forge a Purified Gem, gather 4 Shadow Shards and employ the Shard Refiner. This crafting process transforms your collected shards into a powerful tool capable of neutralizing the enraged state of the Shadow Raid Boss. Keep in mind that your inventory can hold up to 10 Purified Gems, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
Dominating Shadow Raid Battles
Once armed with Purified Gems, step into the Shadow Raid Battle arena during the Raid Boss’s enraged state. Deploying a Purified Gem in this critical moment will subdue the Shadow Raid Boss, granting you a significant advantage in the battle. What’s more, this effect intensifies when multiple Trainers utilize Purified Gems simultaneously. Team up with fellow Trainers, as each can deploy up to 5 Purified Gems, stacking the neutralizing effect and enhancing your chances of victory.
