Pokemon Go shadow Pokemon were added to the game with the arrival of Pokemon Go Team Rocket last year, and while they look incredibly cool with their purple auras, they’re unfortunately quite weak until you purify them. Not sure what on earth I’m talking about? Then let this guide to Pokemon Go shadow Pokemon help you, as it covers all of the available shadow Pokemon in Pokemon Go (opens in new tab) and how they work.

What are Pokemon Go shadow Pokemon?

Shadow Pokemon in Pokemon Go are some Pokemon that Team Rocket have brought with them. Whenever you defeat a Team Rocket GO Grunt at a pokestop they’ve taken over, you’ll have the opportunity to catch a shadow Pokemon that they’ve left behind. They’re easily distinguishable due to the purple aura around them, red eyes, and when you catch them, you’ll notice that their CP is significantly lower than you’d expect.

This is because when you catch a shadow Pokemon, you’ve got the option of spending a few candy and stardust to purify it. This will increase each IV stat by two and raise the CP considerably, making it a much more formidable fighter. You could also keep it as a shadow Pokemon though, because like I said before… they look badass.
