![]() Obviously, this prevents players from trying to give Shadow Pokémon better stats, but more importantly, it precludes the possibility of turning a Shadow Pokémon into a Lucky one, which would negate the higher Stardust cost of leveling. However, "Pokémon GO" doesn't let players trade certain Pokémon, including Mythical, Buddy, and Shadow Pokémon. Players are mostly free to trade as many Pokémon as they wish, so long as they have enough Stardust. You probably shouldn't purify your other Shadow Pokémon, either, but again, that's up to you. But, since higher attack power is generally a more desired trait, you shouldn't purify your shiny Shadow Pokémon. Meanwhile, Purified Pokémon don't have any defense penalties, can learn new moves any time you want, and are easier to level up. But as a tradeoff, Shadow Pokémon take more damage, are harder to level up, and can't unlearn Frustration outside of certain events. Shadow Pokémon receive a 1.2x bonus to attack, whereas a Purified one will exchange that modifier for a few bonus IVs that don't provide as large a bonus. Purifying a shiny Shadow Pokemon is completely your choice. Furthermore, any Shadow Pokémon that Grunts share with stronger Team Rocket GO members can potentially show up as a shiny. The bonus challenge for defeating Team GO Rocket Leaders or Jessie and James might spawn a shiny. In other words, "Pokémon GO" is programmed to not spawn any shiny Shadow Pokémon, with a few exceptions. Once you do find Giovanni, though, you still have to overcome his team. But even then, finding him isn't easy since he employs lowly Team GO Rocket Grunts as decoys. Then repeat the process with the other two Bosses to receive a special Rocket Radar that tracks down Giovanni. Basically, you have to beat enough Team GO Rocket Grunts to acquire a Rocket Radar and then defeat one Team GO Rocket Boss. Giovanni only shows up for certain events, but since these are tied to Special Research tasks, you don't have to worry about FOMO. Unfortunately, knowing where to find Shadow Legendary Pokémon doesn't make acquiring them any easier. Sure, these Shadow Pokémon will chew up your team and spit them out if you don't come prepared, but they're not quite on the level of Giovanni's Shadow Mewtwo or Shadow Lugia. Every other Team GO Rocket member uses more common creatures even Team GO Rocket Leaders only get comparatively weaker (but still pretty powerful) choices like Salamence, Tyranitar, and Snorlax. Currently, only Giovanni commands Legendary Pokémon in combat. ![]()
