About[]

Shadow Pokémon are a new type of Pokémon that was added in v5.3. Every obtainable Pokémon in PTD (including legendaries) has a shadow version. They cannot be found in the wild (for their location, see below). They don't receive STAB from Shadow-type moves.

In other Pokémon games, Shadow Pokémon are stronger than regular Pokémon and have many mysterious traits, such as not being able to level up until purified. In PTD, however, the only difference between shadow and regular Pokémon is that Shadow Pokémon can learn Shadow-type moves.

Their appearance is a little different from the normal sprite. They have a dark-purple tint/dark sparkle around them that makes the Pokémon itself look darker than it should be.

Trivia[]

  • They are the opposite of Shiny Pokémon, also called Anti-Shiny Pokémon.
  • If you use Shadow Rush in an older version, all the Pokémon will freeze when an attack is launched.
  • Shadow Pokémon originally gained 50% less exp than normal Pokémon but Sam changed that, so now they get the same amount as regular Pokemon.
