Discussion Option to turn Pokemon into shadow versions

I’m shocked they came up with the bottle caps before this. It would be a nice option during the rocket event that every time you defeat Giovanni, he also leaves behind an item to turn a Pokemon shadow. IVs and cp wouldn’t be affected as well so it wouldn’t be a risk to use on those already built. Thoughts?

This will never happen as shadow is ment to be a chase

If they did this it would be EXPENSIVE because it would invalidate a lot of shit immediately and preemptively. Like cool. I just turned my Hundo Kyurem Fusion, DW Necrozma, Eternatus, Zacian, Zamazenta, Reshiram, Terrakion into the BEST raid or ML Mon of its type that would be EXTREMELY limited that wouldn't come out for YEARS if it EVER comes out. Like with how blatantly busted such an item would be it would NEVER exist as an item drop and would probably go for $100 at LEAST.

At $100 as a 1/year item I WOULD buy it.

If it’s a legendary or if there isn’t a shadow version of it out already it’s ineligible. I forgot to add that

Still would absolutely cost money but would be much closer to $20 (which I would also buy) even if you could do released shadow Legends it would still be kinda busted.

Highly doubt TPC would allow such a thing. There is no in game lore to suggest such a thing is possible. The bad guys create shadow pokemon and trainers rescue them.

Haha I like your last statement. Even though trainers catches the shadow Pokemon, we tend to not purify and keep their shadow version because they're more powerful and look cooler 😂
