What Pokemon do you keep in your inventory?
I got 600 mon. I usually only use like two dozen for raids and gym take downs, and like 8 for defenders.
Is keeping one of each kind worth it?
Only high IV mon?
Answers
- One of each evolved form.
- Some unevolved with best IV for future community days.
- All my maxed out (205), this include all fighting and defense mons and useful legacy mon.
- 100%
- 1-2 of each shiny and hat/goggle varieties.
- 6 best of each legendary
- Some peculiar ones (lvl 1 classic ones, Snorlax, Lapras, Dragonite etc. 666 Cp Ghost and Pentagram)
- Long distance trading ones.
- A pool for pidgey-evolving (not Xp just boosting medal occasionally)
- A couple of hundred I will prune out during the next Dex-cleaning.
Typically 1300
- At least 1 of each final evolution.
- 1 of each variant of shinies, sunglasses, hats etc.
- Every 100% and 0%
- 3 best of each legendary
- Varying numbers of meta relevant attackers and defenders
- Some non-meta relevant attackers for challenge solos
- Future CD candidates
- Trade fodder
- Some collectibles, rare 666cp and level 1 mons etc.
Currently at 1250 because I have way too much trade fodder left over from Dortmund. Aim to get back down to 800-900 so I can do heavy grind days without cleaning up in the middle of it.
I have 900+. I keep one of each kind as a placeholder. Two if their appearance differs with gender.
It's not necessary to keep one of each kind unless you're into the collecting aspect of Pokemon catching.
For mons that aren't viable for battle, I keep the highest CP and transfer away the rest, even if they're high IV.
I have 700 bag space and bar what I'm holding for mass evolve (<900K til 40), I keep about 470. Top IV of all final evolves, meta or not, my attackers (probably about 15 unique Mon, 100ish including duplicates), legendaries I'm waiting to blend, 1 of each baby, 1 of each Pikachu/Raichu/Pichu variant including gender differences, a handful of dedicated defenders (I typically use mon that can fulfil both roles. I love you K-Ex.), some fun ones (shinies, 100s I'll never use, copies of each starter and each of its evolutions). I clear out anything I'm not holding onto on purpose several times a day- I can easily go from 480 to 660+ twice a day especially with off-event candy fodder dominating my spawns.
I try to get 98-100% of certain useless species to keep one and throw rest away. Caught a level 35 98% weedle, now a beedrill. Caught a level 32 100% rattata, both spawned in my living room. Storage is 1000, about 750 I really keep. Other 250 just wait til I clean up. Been getting a lot of 98% field tasks, at level 15 so that creates a decision. Evolved 100% Muk and a 100% Kingler from research easy to keep those. Level 15: Three 98% Squirtle, 98% bulbasaur, 98% eevee, hatched 98% baltoy, etc
Atm having about 1000/1500 mons which include:
-Memories ( First ever raid catch, lvl 40 evolve etc)
- 6x legendarys
-All 100% 0%
-attackers/defenders
-Pet projects
-Shinys
-lvl 40 collection
-Long distance trade
-Event Pikachus
-High iv
-Regionals
Just evolved over 900 mons so I can finally have some space in my bag.
I didn’t downvote, but this pointless topic got me to go thru my whole inventory and I titled things: trade or legacy. Yes, I already know my level 38 IS/IB Lapras is legacy. For example: two Politoed with EQ and Dazzling Gleam Alakazam.
Gonna trade 10-12 attack level 35 Tentacruels and Primeapes and sunfloras, level 33 Vileplumes, etc
I get that people bragging about what they trash can be annoying, but people are never going to value things the same way. Never mind having 40 shinies in total, I know a player with 37 shiny Squirtles. The discrepancies created by area and activity are enormous.
"Nothing is rare" isn't true. The rare things are just different from the main games. 100% legendaries and shiny babies are good examples of things that are extremely rare. It's like you said, constantly releasing new things, but that's the model that keeps the game alive. People need to be incentivized to spend money or we don't have a game to play anymore.
- At least 6-8 attackers for each type (the strongest I could get), a bit more if pokemon type variations (like Charizard and Flareon for my fire squad). Not easy for a few types...
- Almost everything that is unique above 1700 CP (I have a double grass, a double poison and a poison/grass Victreebels), just in case it happens to become useful in particular situations.
- A collection of defenders covering different strategies and attacker types.
- For each 200 CP slice, 10 pokemon holding attacks of each of the types I consider more or less useful to counter any pokemon, with an emphasis on pokemon having 2 attacks of the same type. This is in case prestiging comes again or something else that gives a role to weak pokemon.
- A handful of lvl 1 pokemon, in case something similar to the old bubblestrat becomes useful again.
- One of each legendary, sometimes more if different usage even if I am not planning on using it right now (a double dragon and a double psychic Latias for example). I transfer the few other ones I can have during double candy events. They are now also trade candidates.
- Collectors : shinies, hats, etc. One of each, a bit more for trades. I'm keeping an additional Pikachu with straw hat and sunglasses until I know if I can evolve it to Alolan Raichu, that could be cool :)
- My 666 cp Horsea.
- A couple of Wartortles with sunglasses, both shiny and normal, cause damn they look cool.
- Several regionals for future trades.
- Evolution fodder.
This brings me to my cap of 500. If I am too close to the limit, I review my list to transfer the ones that don't follow these rules and if necessary I cut a bit through my evolution fodder.
