Should you purify Pokémon in Pokemon Go?

You generally don't purify for Raids (Shadows hit harder), but might purify for PvP (better moves/bulk in some cases), to get perfect IVs (Hundos), reduce costs (candies/Stardust), earn medals, or for specific Pokémon like Lugia/Ho-Oh where bulk matters more. The core trade-off: Shadows deal 20% more damage but take 20% more; purification removes this bonus but boosts IVs and lowers costs.
