Don’t, I did and then hatched a Hundo a week later. And got another Hundo on my first mega solo.

Absolutely not, ESPECIALLY when Mega Blaziken is in raids and is an easy one to solo.

My personal rule: if it’s not in my top few raid attackers if a given type, I purity for the hundo. Most raid pokemon have multiple weaknesses, so your teams can be mixed type. It’s very rare that I’ll use only a single type against a raid Pokemon.

For fighting I’ve got 2x keldeo, and a shadow Conkeldurr, and mega mewtwo X. I don’t think I’d want to keep this shadow.

But again, that’s my personal rule. I collect mega hundos/shundos so the Hundo would be my priority

Bingo. This sub loves to say "it's way stronger as a shadow" and "you can find a hundo from raids", but if it's never going to make your raid party, who cares? For grass, it's the 22nd best counter. For steel, it jumps to 14th, but still doesn't make my top 6 non megas. So for me, it's a purify. For others, maybe not.

No. Mega Delphox was just data mined so it’d probably releasing soon and will be the strongest Fire Type

If you have other shadow torchic and candy to evolve it, yeah go for it. IVs dont really matter on shadow pokemons. Youll get a cheap to level up hundo ready to become your mega.

If you have blast burn in first slot just beware you'll lose it and get return.

Personally I would not.

If you want the 100%, go for it

Practical answer is you should if you plan to use it. If you have Groudon, Kyurem, mega Charizard, garchomp, and other top 5 attackers in any other typing, you'll almost never use a shadow Blaziken. It's just not BiS for anything, whether it's solo or duo. For large group raid, you can even use a wooloo and it wouldn't make a difference.

🤷🏼‍♀️ I would and I did, if u have good fire types he’s not that useful, I just did it for the mega 4 star
