'''Shadow Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ダークポケモン''' ''Dark Pokémon'') are artificially altered [[Pokémon]] produced by [[Cipher]] in [[Orre]]. Collecting them via [[snagging]] and restoring them to normal is the main goal in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. | '''Shadow Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ダークポケモン''' ''Dark Pokémon'') are artificially altered [[Pokémon]] produced by [[Cipher]] in [[Orre]].

Shadow Pokémon are created by artificially shutting off a Pokémon's emotions, turning it into a soulless fighting machine. [[Ein]], the brains behind the Shadow Pokémon process, refers to this as "shutting the door to their hearts". Shadow Pokémon radiate a black [[aura]] that cannot normally be seen. However, [[Rui]]'s psychic abilities allow her to recognize the Shadow Pokémon aura on sight, and the [[Aura Reader]] can detect this aura as well. Shadow Pokémon do not gain [[experience]] in a [[Pokémon battle]], and they start with only [[Shadow move]]s. Ein's research was later picked up and expanded upon by [[Lovrina]]. | Shadow Pokémon are created by artificially shutting off a Pokémon's emotions, turning it into a soulless fighting machine.

Shadow Pokémon sometimes behave oddly and irrationally, entering feral states called [[Hyper Mode]] or [[Reverse Mode]]. In both states, the Pokémon is difficult to control and may do itself more harm than good. Calling to a Shadow Pokémon, using a [[cologne]] on it, or leaving it at the [[Pokémon Daycare]] will snap it out of either of these states, and helps restore it to regular Pokémon. | Shadow Pokémon sometimes behave oddly and irrationally, entering feral states called [[Hyper Mode]] or [[Reverse Mode]].
