Shadow Raids, which debuted on May 22, 2023, are a special type of {{GO|Raid Battle}} in which a Team GO Rocket member takes over a {{GO|Gym}} and commands a Shadow Raid Boss. Remote Raid Passes can't be used to challenge them. One-star and three-star Shadow Raid Bosses are controlled by Team GO Rocket Grunts; five-star, Legendary Shadow Raid Bosses are controlled by {{GO|Giovanni}} or {{tc|Team GO Rocket Leader}}s.

Three- and five-star Shadow Raid Bosses become enraged after its HP falls to a certain percentage, during which its Attack and Defense stats are drastically increased. Once players collectively use eight [[Purified Gem]]s against the Shadow Raid Boss, it will become subdued, returning its stats back to normal.
