Questions people ask
- Is Azelf good in Pokemon GO?
- Not for battle. Azelf has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
- Should I keep or transfer Azelf?
- Legendary Pokemon are hard to get back once they leave rotation. Keep hundos, shinies, and one for the collection; transfer the weak duplicates.
- Is Azelf a good raid attacker?
- Azelf ranks #53 of 248 psychic attackers with 13.4 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
- Can Azelf be shiny in Pokemon GO?
- Yes. Shiny Azelf is available from photobomb, raid, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
