What is Purify Pokemon Calculator?

A Purify Pokemon Calculator is a specialized tool designed for players to predict the stat changes of “Shadow” variants. In mobile gaming mechanics, Shadow Pokemon have a specific damage bonus but reduced defense. Purifying them removes this “Shadow” state.

When a Pokemon is purified, each of its Individual Values (IVs) increases by 2 points, and its level is automatically boosted to 25. This calculator helps you see if a Shadow Pokemon will become a “Hundo” (100% IV) before you spend your precious Stardust.

How to Calculate Purify Pokemon (Example):

  1. Identify your Shadow Pokemon’s current stats (e.g., Atk: 13, Def: 14, Sta: 12).
  2. Add +2 to the Attack IV: 13 + 2 = 15.
  3. Add +2 to the Defense IV: 14 + 2 = 16 (Cap it at 15). Result: 15.
  4. Add +2 to the Stamina IV: 12 + 2 = 14.
  5. Your Purified Pokemon result is 15/15/14 (98% IV).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Is it always better to purify? No, Shadow Pokemon deal 20% more damage, making them superior for raids even with lower IVs.

What is the maximum IV? The maximum for any stat is 15. If your Shadow has 14, it will become 15, not 16.

Does purification cost resources? Yes, it requires a specific amount of Stardust and Candy based on the Pokemon species.

What happens to the Pokemon’s level? Purifying instantly raises a Pokemon’s level to 25 if it was lower than that.
