Hey guys, im thinking about buying egg radar (legendary chips) and shadow radar. Also i have no clue whats more valuable in the market, a legendary or certain shadow pokemons.
Can someone explain me how egg radar (legendary chips) work? and same goes for shadow radar? I have no clue, i've only been using pokeradar to shiny hunt, thanks!

The Legendary chip for the Egg Radar allows you to search for certain legendary pokemon eggs in the Tall Grass (Latios & Latias, Keldeo, and Cosmog) but each legendary also requires a legendary item to be searchable (Enigma Stone, Resolute Stone, and Nebula Stone). (Here's he wiki page for Tall Grass if you need more info.)

As for how valuable these Tall Grass legendaries are, the Market Insider values them like so at the time being:
> Latios/Latias: 85k
> Keldeo: 30k
> Cosmog: 2,5k

Meanwhile, the Shadow Radar lets you search for shadow versions of pokemon (only including Kanto and Johto pokemon for now). The wiki page for it should do a good enough job to explain it and has handy pictures so you can actually see what the minigame looks like.

The most valuable shadow is probably shadow ditto, it's valued at 4 million in the market insider for now. I don't think many have been sold so I'm not sure how accurate that is. Meanwhile, shadow legendaries seem to sit around 250k to 300k+. (You can check for any specific shadows with the market insider linked above, just change the url to whatever pokemon you wanna see.)

So I guess shadows have more potential profits. However, getting those big profit shadow pokemon would probably take quite a bit of time. Since you get a random pool of 3 or 5 shadows per region each day (depending on if you're premium or not), the rarity of those shadows is influenced by how many shadows you've caught already, and you can only catch one per day if you don't buy the upgrades for the radar.

so, how can i get a Lugia Shadow? or any other legendary
