    What do people think of the Mystery Gift Meowth? Is the Dynamax ability legit useful or would I be better off having someone evolve it to Persian for me?

    Prolly worth holding onto, using it, with an amulet coin, and the g-max payday 3 times during the elite four standin gives you like 100k per battle.

    Also, I'm not sure if it can evolve tbh, I don't think the giga Pikachu or Eevee can.

    If you want a Persian there's a kid that trades a Kanto Meowth for a galarian one.

    I'd heard you could have it evolved by trading to older Pokemon games, levelling it to 28 and then trading back

    but if that means losing the money generation ability then maybe I won't

    Probably easier to just trade the PC for the other regular meowth

    Man, either I'm having rotten luck or GMax Pokemon are a pain in the butt to catch. I've fought over a dozen of them at this point and not caught one yet. Granted, I was using Great Balls on several of them because I don't have Ultra Balls for sale yet, but still.

    Do Dusk Balls work in Raids? I suppose I could hunt down a source for them instead.

    GMax are just a huge pain in the ass to catch, even with Ultra Balls I'm like 1 out of 6 on catching them.

    Use repeat balls, seeing as they count the same as the normal versions.

    Gmax mad lads are very clearly meant to be something you spend some time hunting, particularly if you want perfect ones.

    Having felt it myself and heard it from others around the Internet, I'm pretty much convinced that there is a steep catch rate penalty if your current Pokemon is lower level than the thing you're trying to catch. Like I'll blow 10 Great Balls and only hit the second bounce one once when it's 17 vs. 24, but catch on the first throw when I swap to my level 25, no change in HP or status.

    I'm pretty sure this is explicitly said somewhere in game. Some npc says it to you, 99% sure

    Yeah, I can’t remeber where but they do. This also makes sense with G-max because a 5star G is lvl 70, but they start appearing once you have a 50-60ish team.

    No, because that would allow the pokemon that were cut to be added into swsh.

    Usually there's no trading between gens

    Instead they'll have some method of transferring stuff from older gens that isn't trading

    You'll be able to transfer from older games once Pokemon Home is out next year

    But only the mons that are in the game files

    Get a few wins in battle tower and it unlocks the IV checker in the Pokémon boxes. It'll tell you when it's unlocked.

    It seems to be tied to raid tier like 3 star should be 3 perfects?

    I've noticed a few 4 iv mons from 5 star raids though so it seems like it can be 5iv but is only guaranteed to be at least 4iv

    I have a box of 4 iv mons and only 3 5 iv ones so it's rare but possible. In theory 6 can happen right but the last one would just be the natural odds of 1/31 I'd assume.

    I haven't seen anyone write up on it though and the pokecenter article just tells you generically that raid mons have good stats
