Shadow moves used by Shadow Pokemon have their own effectiveness rules against normal Pokemon.

How to obtain

Shadow Pokemon do not spawn in the wild. Ways to get a Shadow Hippopotas:

Cloning Machine: any owned Hippopotas (except Mew and Ditto species-wide) can be made Shadow, with success up to 99% when the machine is boosted with netherite blocks.

Random shadow encounters: trial chamber vaults have a 15% chance (30% for ominous vaults) to release a catchable wild Shadow Pokemon of a random species at levels 60 to 80, and village trainers under a Bad Omen have a 30% chance to carry a snaggable Shadow Pokemon.

Shadow Pokemon use only shadow moves until purified at the purification shrine or with a Time Flute. Purifying returns this form to normal.
