 Shadow Pokémon are created through an undisclosed process that removes the Pokémon's emotions, turning it into a soulless fighting machine. [[Ein]], creator of the process and Cipher's head scientist at the time of Colosseum, refers to this process as "shutting the door their hearts".
-While normal Pokémon are generally friendly and trusting creatures, Shadow Pokémon are not hesitant to attack with full force, using [[Shadow moves|moves that normal Pokémon cannot have]], such as {{m|Shadow Rush}}. Likewise, they do not attack only other Pokémon, and will actually attack Trainers. Shadow Pokémon can sometimes be overwhelmed by their emotions, indicating the relative instability of their Shadow state, and will sometimes enter a state known as [[Hyper Mode]] in Colosseum and [[Reverse Mode]] in XD. This state will be triggered more often the closer the Pokémon is to purification, making them generally more difficult to battle with until they are ultimately purified. A Pokémon in this state can be cured of it by calling to it in battle or use of a [[cologne]], as well as several other methods.

 An interesting quirk about Shadow Pokémon is their inability to be differentiated from normal Pokémon by all but those with certain abilities or tools. Shadow Pokémon emit a normally invisible dark [[aura]] that normal Pokémon do not, which so far has only been able to be detected by [[Rui]] through an innate ability, and [[Michael]] with his [[Aura Reader]].
