Questions people ask

Is Celebi good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Celebi has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Celebi?
Mythical Pokemon are hard to get back once they leave rotation. Keep hundos, shinies, and one for the collection; transfer the weak duplicates.
Is Celebi a good raid attacker?
Celebi ranks #47 of 283 fighting attackers with 13.2 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Celebi be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Celebi is available from research. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
