Shadow Pokémon (GO): Difference between revisions

According to the research of [[Candela]] and [[Professor Willow]], Shadow Pokémon are the result of having been artificially overpowered by Team GO Rocket, causing them frequent pain from their uncontrollable strength. Shadow Pokémon are surrounded by what looks like a purple fire, or in Mewtwo's case, surrounded by its Psychic power. Apex Shadow Ho-oh's aura looks like a spiral, while Apex Shadow Lugia's aura looks like a giant wisp with lightning. During a Team GO Rocket battle, Shadow Pokémon used by Team GO Rocket members have significantly inflated stats, especially in Attack, potentially attaining CP values much higher than the maximum possible by [[Power Up|powering up]]. The CP of Team GO Rocket's Pokémon increases with each player's [[Trainer level]]. Their Shadow Pokémon's moves, including Charged Attacks, are randomly selected from the species' current move pool.
