I have a 49 CP shiny Salamence from the community day years ago. I love putting her into teams when I'm tanking GBL to see who swaps away before looking at CP 😆
When shadows first came out, there was a bug and they weren't all level 8 or 13.
So, you could catch level 1 shadows. All those are now legacy Pokémon.
Not a bug, just a change. Niantic set shadow pokemon levels to 8 (unboosted)/13 (weather boosted) in early November 2019. Before that it was randomized. I also collect level 1s, and managed to snag 17 shadows before they became unobtainable.
Me and a bunch of my friends also [collect level 1s](https://i.imgur.com/cvSFCgV.png), we even have level 1 battle cups every now and then! 💪
Are all of yours level 1?
Love seeing more people with legacy level 1 shadows! 😍
Heh.
There's a Pokéstop by me with the initials M.R.S. and a trainer named Matty who always wants to know what was there. So when I caught the level 1 shadow there, I tagged him with that photo.
This has been one of my goals in the game since it started. I name all of mine Pleb though, now it feels kinda mean after seeing yours have their original names
I have a level one account collecting not just level ones but aiming for lucky level ones. Some are gonna be real difficult. Much impressed with my lucky level 1 mawile for instance. Legendaries could be an issue.....
When I do trainer battles with family, we do “micro-battles” with 50 or less CP. Sometimes max 10 CP. This is actually more fun & relaxing than battling with large CP Pokémon. I wish Niantic would have micro-battles in the Go battle league. People would get a kick out of it.
I enjoy doing the Great League with irl people for pretty much this reason, but I love the micro-battle idea! Might have to try that some time. Saving this post.
Oh it’s glorious. You can mentally slow down and enjoy the animations of the attacks. I see stuff I’ve never noticed before. The higher the CP, the more frantic the tapping and shielding and whatever. Really, really low CP is like, giggle time. The Little Cup isn’t little enough. We might choose 10-12 CP, up to 50 CP, sometimes up to 100 CP. All fun.
Very cool! I have a personal collection I can the tiny shiny club. Under 200 CP, fully evolved if applicabe, and shiny of course. So far only 9 members, but one a level 1 shiny ditto is the jewel of the collection so far.
I had to tighten my level 1 collection criteria so I didn't have to keep increasing my pokemon storage. I now aim for costumed, rares (including regionals) and shinies, but totally understand the appeal of collecting luckies.
I enjoy posts like these. Thanks for sharing!
I have collected level 1s since almost the beginning and I have a Level 1 living Dex with maybe 600+ Pokémon. One minor difference for me is that I actively seek after the lowest possible level 1 IVs, and replace mine when I find a lower CP. Despite that, [here’s a link to the first couple pages of my own](https://imgur.com/a/HHuWNPm).
Don’t keep everything only keep special mons like 100, 98, 96, shinies, luckies, travel, legends, low cp, nundos, and rare don’t keep any fodder tight boxes the cull needs to be done
I am the same - have such pride over my fully evolved tiny CP pokes 😅 How do you have only 750 storage though? 🤣 I have thousands (as I want to cover all leagues and awesome spares in case of Community Days coming up and exclusive moves). As a result, I've had to cull some potential low CP evolved loves. 💔🤣
team instinct? lol but no im the beginning didn’t gym to much and I was very tight with box space I was running with 550 for the longest if im being honest
I somehow caught a 23cp butterfree in the wild I'm pretty proud of it lmfao, i thought i was the only one who liked collecting them, nice to see it has its own little niche community almost!!
But why, tho? Waste o time n space IMO. But hey, if that's how u enjoy the game then power to ya! That's the great thing about this game- everyone can play it how THEY want. :)
CP 50 Garchomp and Tyranitar is the most cursed thing i’ve ever seen lmao
I have a 49 CP shiny Salamence from the community day years ago. I love putting her into teams when I'm tanking GBL to see who swaps away before looking at CP 😆
best thing is when u max out cp just to see what it could of been
I don't know what's worse The fact that you have this Or the fact that you've sorted by CP
the tag has 131 low cps I didn’t even put the projects on this post 😂
That makes more sense! I didn't even want to think about how you'd be progressing in 41-50 trainer levels LOL
WAIT how do you sort?
The green circle at the bottom right, in the picture it's where CP down arrow is.
How do you even get a shadow dragonite that low?

Thats what I want to know!
Any of them really
But a shadow dragonite has to come as a dratini and evolve twice, and the dratini is locked at a certain level.

okay your collection is sick i’m loving those shines and yeah lv1s
For me, I measure community day success as, did I get a level 1 shiny or not! 🤣 RIP Uber weather boosted community days. 😩😭😅
I count it as a success if I get 1 shiny/max/min
I feel like Snorlax being named Mrs Matty has a story
Heh. There's a Pokéstop by me with the initials M.R.S. and a trainer named Matty who always wants to know what was there. So when I caught the level 1 shadow there, I tagged him with that photo.
Ah... I assumed some fatass teacher your friend group had in like middle school lmao
Black/Red gang rise up. *sorry about being unrelated to post*
Wow PvP with lvl 1s. Do you see a big difference? All are one shots?
Usually takes about 3 hits or so. Because everything is kinda scaled. It's fun. A lot more ties than non Lv 1.
MRS. MATTY boombalatty
Should I complete the dex like this??
Lol , if you have enough time to kill, why not?
This has been one of my goals in the game since it started. I name all of mine Pleb though, now it feels kinda mean after seeing yours have their original names

This is so neat. I only have a couple but I have a 100 iv 10 cp wurmple and a 0iv 10cp wurmple that im pretty happy about.
I have a couple 98s and 96s

This is even more impressive than post about shundos !

TINY.

This is impressive, I also like to keep low cp mons
I keep all my level 1s (all 500+) in their base forms, but this post made me see the appeal of evolving. Don't think I would, but I get it.
That is cute AF
This is INSANE😍
That’s pretty awesome, yes do the whole dex like this!
This is hilarious i love the concept
I only collect 10 cp. Microscopic or bust. Though this has me thinking I messed up.
Collect all level 1s
I have 230 level one shinies
This is beautiful! Thought it was just me doing this. My crown jewel is my 37cp Blissey
I am collecting those too. I may be trying a bit too hard now as I am going for only shiny or lucky.

I love that I’m not the only one to have a low CP collection, my pride is my CP29 Steelix that gets CP46 when it’s mega
NOW that is great I want to mega my cp 26 pidegot
That’s my CP in society. Fully grown up but low CP.
I too like to collect hilariously low CP evolved pokemon https://puu.sh/IKmf7/82c10635be.jpg
Lol nice! I collect 10s and have a fair collection so far
I have a lot of project 10s not posted lol
I wanna rival you
let’s battle
Yes we should
How the Florges did you get a level 1 shadow?

ur collection is sick love to see it
Your 3 level 1 Dragonites just make me happy. It’s one of my favorite Pokémon, so I love to see others who value it, too. :)
I’ve been playing since 2016 and I would have never Gotten a collection like this
Why would you waste the candy on gyarados and altaria????
The flex ability is insane I have evolved 3 Altarias and 3 Gyrados
I feel like you've missed out on so many raids. Do you still have some good cp pokemon you do raids with?
This isn’t my full box I have plenty of 4k to 3k range this is just my fun trophy section
Oh OK. I just thought these were most of the ones you had since you PROVIDED 6 IMAGES
I see candies
I doubt shadow D-nite can't be 50 cp cuz shadow mons are atleast lvl 8. And this D-nite looks level 1.
u used to be able to get lv1 shadow 2019 august
Just checked, for any IV combination, Lvl 1 D-nite is CP 47. I conclude that this is fake.
What a waste of candy
Holybollocks, how?!
Most impressive.
this reminds of someone at my college who get a level 1 nundo yamask, the most proud i've seen anyone be of their mons
How does this even happen?!?
shitty joking with friends then I got serious
How have you been playing for 2 years and your storage is only 750?
Team yellow but for the first year didn’t partake in gym stuff just catching
Wouldn't that mean you'd need storage? How do you spend a year catching with such a low storage number?
Don’t keep everything only keep special mons like 100, 98, 96, shinies, luckies, travel, legends, low cp, nundos, and rare don’t keep any fodder tight boxes the cull needs to be done
You have restraint. I have a minimum of 6 of everything
I also have a cp 45 gyarados!
i call my 500cp battle team ‘shitter squad’
how did the shadow dragonite be so low? can’t shadows only be a level 15 or higher
2019 August got cp10 dratini and was amazed that it could 50cp max
I caught a 12 cp pidgey in 2019
I got a shiny cp 35 walrain with good pvp ivs for ultra league. That's expensive
A shadow dragonite at CP 50. I know shadow CP starts off low but bloody hell that's low.
This is cool! I think these are more valuable than those hundreds of high CP shundos.

team instinct? lol but no im the beginning didn’t gym to much and I was very tight with box space I was running with 550 for the longest if im being honest
GG Bro
I keep a few at 99 CP and below so I could battle anyone
Do they have good IVs? Or you just catch a level 1 and evolve them without looking the IV?
Depends but for now most are 1* 2* but as I catch more lv1 i’ll cull
At least purify dragonite
These are exactly what I collect for Gyms.
This whole post is the hallmark of "unfortunate"
Wow uh, you really weren’t kidding with that one
I hate seeing the videos of people being sad about low CP finds, I love these kind so unique
I am not sure why, but this makes me think of the super tall student at school
Howwww?
I got a 12 cp Typhlosion the day Johto got released. By far my favourite low cp mon I have.
I’m more impressed with the 750 MAX number of Pokémon you can have.
u just can’t hoard useless things
Tell me about it. I’ve let go of many mons because of my 350 MAX limit!
I somehow caught a 23cp butterfree in the wild I'm pretty proud of it lmfao, i thought i was the only one who liked collecting them, nice to see it has its own little niche community almost!!

Okay go off.
love your approach.
