Excessive Poke's

Hi guys, just wanted your feedback and opinions of what you do when you have too many "good" pokemon in your storage.

For example, I only keep 90%+ IV's, anything else gets instaBinned. However I am now at a stage where I have like 12 90%+ same pokemon.

Do you advise just keeping the 15 attack ones? Or anything else?

I tend to limit my multiples to meta relevant and/or luckies if I'm accumulating like that.

I tend to only keep “Wonders”, but I also try to keep a living dex. I’m essentially out of space so I might have to start transferring non-relevant Pokémon soon. I have roughly 40 Dratini that aren’t strong enough to justify evolving and powering up, probably close to 100 Beldum, quite a few Larvitar, etc. and 60 Mewtwo. Hopefully the Halloween event gives double candy for transfers so I can clear up this space.

I am also holding 50 or so dratini and lavitar hoping for double candy soon. They are worth 1 to the professor now or 8 in a matched trade with double candy if that happens soon. All about the balance.

Great question and the answer is "it depends". Before Beldum I kep all the larvitar hoping for double candy. Had 200 or so that needed to move out. For some time I keep 2 best of each evolved form. Has moved to best 1 for junk mon. I have not trashed a single shiny or legendary and they are now talking up something like 500 slots. The army of Golems, Alakazams, and similar have been taking hits. I expect this to continue until I quit the game. Mon management is part of the challenge.

I agree keep it meta relevant. I usually keep my storage around 800 or so. I keep 12 great Machamps with DP, TTars with Rock/Dark about 6 each, Kyogre, Dragonite, 6-8 of each Legendary (except Regis maybe 3-4 of each and Mewtwo, I currently have 60 for now), a few good Blissey/Snorlax/Chansey to dump in gyms. Also have a bunch of Piloswine and Rhydon ready for Gen 4 evols. Everything else you will never need more than 3 of. Not sure why people keep or boost pokes that are not relevant to the game. I get that some "look cool" but just keep one of each.

I'm keeping it all mega relevant anyway, but in terms of values is it best keeping 15 attack ones? I'm so unsure lol

I would say IV and stats are important but not the most important. Moveset and level are more important. If you have 10 Machamps with 80 IV that is fine until you get better ones to replace them, for example. I usually wait until I have a 93 IV or better before I boost a guy past level 30. Once I have 10-12 of each guy better than 93 IV boosted to levels 35-40 I move on unless I catch perfect later on.

For non-meta relevant pokemon, I only keep one female and one male of each species (90+ IVs). When I get a specimen with better IVs that the current ones, I transfer/trade the old one. With the introduction of trading, this strategy has proven a great way to obtain old pokemon (2016/17) to force lucky trades.

For meta-relevant, I try not to keep more than 4 of each species to prevent storage clogging.

For legendaries, I was keeping only one of each species until the introduction of special moves. Now I keep 2 of each legendary (original version/special move version). I trade/transfer everything else for free candy. Exception: Mewtwo (I keep 4 SB and one of each other available moves).

I only keep multiples for species that are relevant or very likely to become relevant in future. For non-relevant species, I keep only my highest-IV one (and best shiny, if applicable). Before Beldum day, I had just under 600 in my box (size 800).

For me at least, Depends on the pokemon, for meta relevant pokemon, them getting binned depends on the pokemon itself (IV threshold for something like a dragonite and a shadow ball mewtwo are different) for pokemon like dragonite and machamp, I only start keeping the 89% and higher ones with high attack, unless theres other circumstances (like a 96%, 13 atk one or 87%, 14 atk shiny dragonite) but in general, I only keep 89% and up with 14 atk iv's

Less relevant mon or glass cannon, i dont overly care about IV's on, it can be a perfect lotad and i wont even care if its transfered. The meta irrelivent get pitched unless they have potential in the future like togekiss, and the glass cannons i just look or 14-15 atk

For special cases, iv's dont matter on shinies, i dont use them unless the iv's are good. and for legendaries, i mostly care about them being good in iv's over all, like my trade 93%, 13 atk rayquaza or 14 atk, 82% SB mewtwo

Rest of my storage is meant for holding onto trade pokemon for candy

The relevant question to ask yourself is "how many of this pokemon would I need or power up?". If you aren't going to ever power up 12, don't keep 12. Their IVs have no value since you will never use them and you can't trade IVs. Decide how many you need and trash/trade the rest.

I keep old stuff too. After events like this last one I trade my GF her highest Cp shiny beldums for my 2016 mons and vice versa.

I have a few rules i follow;

-Keep the highest IV of all pokemon. i may keep two or three. All evolutions included.

-Keep all pokemon that are 95% plus. Also keep 0% Pokemon.

-keep all legendaries (this will have to change eventually)

-keep all fully evolved starter pokemon. And dragonites, tyranitars etc.

-keep all Pokemon from 2016/first half of 2017

-keep all baby pokemon. Too cute to bin.

-keep all shinys

-keep all very rare pokemon (miltank, blissey, unown etc.)

My storage space is maxed out at 1500, i binned 50 pokemon to make room for community day.

-keep all baby pokemon. Too cute to bin.

I would be sitting on 705 babies. Would probably need to hire a few people to look after them.
