'''Void Shadows''' are non-Pokémon creatures in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} that inhabit the [[Voidlands]], where all Pokémon who have been petrified into stone are sent to. They will consume any Pokémon they encounter and are capable of shapeshifting into any Pokémon. They are minions of [[Dark Matter]] and first appear during the second half of the story.

==Personality==
==Personality==
Being minions of [[Dark Matter]], the Void Shadows do not seem to have an individual personality. However, they seem to be akin to {{p|Ditto}} in that they can act as if they were another Pokémon; for example, one of them disguises itself as {{p|Bunnelby}}. While they do not seem to be much in the way of speech, they are very aggressive to the player and his/her partner; going as far as to take on the form of a {{me|Tyranitar}} and a pair of {{me|Gengar}} as a means to stop them from returning to their world—they are even willing to kill them to stop them. Unlike other Pokémon, their character portrait is obscured by static, much like that of Dark Matter.

==In Combat==
==In battle==
The Void Shadows are very strong fighters in a group, while one of them on its own is not a considerable threat. They are more menacing when they transform into another Pokémon. Similar to Dark Matter itself, the Void Shadows also have a set of techniques that are unique to them: techniques that are quite similar to other Pokémon techniques but they have no defined [[type]]. A few of them, however, are an exception to this rule. Their attacks are as follows:

Their [[Ability]] is known as '''Void Shadows''', an Ability that has no apparent in-battle effect. However, this Ability might be what allows them to split into copies sometimes upon taking damage and assuming that they have enough elbow room to spawn another Void Shadow.

Because they are treated as if they were Boss Pokémon, they are able to heal themselves from bad status ailments much quicker than the norm and from ailments, such as [[Poison (status ailment)|Poisoning]] or being [[Poison (status ailment)|Badly Poisoned]], that normally require an item to treat them. This also applies to any Void Shadows that are in the player's party or out in the wild.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* If they were encountered in the wild or on the player's party, Void Shadows still have the benefit mentioned above and would give a great deal of [[Experience Points]]. The teammate/player-controlled Void Shadow would also be able to divide upon taking damage.
