Type Effectiveness

Summary

Shadow-type Pokémon are primarily linked to certain games and special events rather than a standalone type in the mainline series. Shadow Pokémon were first introduced in the GameCube titles "Pokémon Colosseum" and "Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness." They aren't considered an official type like Fire or Water but instead are regular Pokémon corrupted into Shadow form using dark powers by an antagonistic organization.

Characteristics of Shadow Pokémon:

  • Shadow Moves: These Pokémon can utilize unique Shadow moves that are super effective against all non-Shadow Pokémon. However, they typically cannot use their standard moves until they are purified.
  • Shadow Aura: They possess a Shadow Aura which causes them to be aggressive and sometimes disobedient.

Strengths:

  1. Super Effective Against All Types: Shadow moves are generally designed to be super-effective against all regular Pokémon types. This gives them a significant edge in battles against non-Shadow Pokémon.
