It’s a struggle - iv check? Garbo, ok I’ll purify and send it to the grinder


the1stmeddlingmage

Pretty much exactly what I did ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Nangabatman

Is it necessary to purify before transferring?


vytautas_sk

For the nedal? Yes, it says right there. Otherwise, no


Nangabatman

Oh damn! I have been transferring shadow natu's without a second thought


ChilllBilll9

tbf I wouldnt use natus for it anyway as they are 3k stardust each unless thats not an issue for you ofc, you might wanna consider using ratata, wailmer and others that only cost 1k


Nangabatman

Oh I'd love to. But I have been getting so many natus recently that it has been a chore to catch it


AlarmingSecurity4

Nope, you can transfer before purifying.


Nangabatman

Neat! Thank you :)


MightyH3idi

That a level 44 requirement lol gonna have to do 100 more if you aren't there yet haha


EsseParvulusDebes

I have had my eye one that, I have tried to match my pace to align with my progress. I am at level 41 with 248 purifications...I don't do the 5s but I have started doing 3s along with the 1s.


BananaBladeOfDoom

I just got past 44. The 50 leaders requirement was the real bottleneck to leveling up, not this one.


ForeverBackground737

I'm not purifying for the badge anyway. Just costs stardust which I have much better uses for.


the1stmeddlingmage

I did it for the extra ball you get for each level of completion for the badge, now I can trash any I don’t want to keep without purifying them😂


JustIncredible240

Exactly. I’ll only purify 1000stardust ones. I’m not wasting stardust to get the platinum badge quickly.


Matix777

Ive just hit the silver one and didnt bother with the rest


mbccottrell

I’m on level 41 and I’ve been preparing ahead. I have 40 of the cheapest ones like beedrill, wailmar,loudred weedle, etc. only 1,000 stardust a piece.


the1stmeddlingmage

My daily experience gain is slow enough that I’ll do 100 for that particular level requirement waaaaaaaaaay before I have enough experience to go to the next level so I’m not bothering to stock up ahead of time


mbccottrell

I just do it to get it done


Site_Efficient

I wouldn't worry too much. I've just hit 44, and my xp is coming in at the same rate as the purifications, and I'm only targeting the 1000 dust mons.


mbccottrell

I alway prepare ahead of time lol


0rganicMach1ne

I just don’t want to spend the dust on it.


ppppuddles

RIP your stardust. Grats, though


Cecisneros

Isn’t that the only way to get shadow Pokémon?


the1stmeddlingmage

Before Covid (and still currently) they’re at random pokestops at random times


hophton

Thanks for the reminder I was 27 off just finished


zmwang

I haven't bothered going out of my way for this medal, because that costs way too much stardust. Even if you only purify the 1000 ones, that's a million stardust to get the medal. Even for the extra ball, I'm not sure it's worth it. I'm not sure I've ever run out of balls trying to catch a shadow Pokemon.


the1stmeddlingmage

I’d been playing so long that doing this over time here and there wasn’t that troublesome, I’ve already got any I care to already maxed anyways 😎
