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 Hoothoot:

Cloning Machine: any owned Hoothoot (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.

Palettes

	Palette	How it appears
	Ghost	1 in 80,000 roll, boosted at night and in graveyards.
	None	Standard wild appearance.
	Shiny	1 in 8,000 wild roll (1 in 15,000 in type zones); donor rank and events improve it.
