When a Shadow Pokémon is purified, it gains all of the experience it accumulated as a Shadow Pokémon. In Pokémon Colosseum, the Shadow Pokémon only starts accumulating experience once it has opened at least 2 bars on the heart gauge. In Pokémon XD, the Shadow Pokémon accumulates experience right away, but only gets 80% of the usual experience. | |||
