Information on Shadow Raids and the current Rising Shadows event: The minimum IVs floor from shadow raids is 6/6/6. You can obtain Shadow Shards from rocket grunts, rocket leaders and shadow raids. It requires a total of 4 Shadow Shards to build a Purified Gem. Purified Gems temporarily lower the attack and defence of the shadow raid boss, and the effects can stack if multiple people use them. The amount of Shadow Shards you can get from shadow raids seems to vary, but the maximum I’ve seen so far is up to 9. Once you have a total of 10 Purified Gems, you won’t be able to obtain Shadow Shards from rocket grunts and rocket leaders. You can however still obtain Shadow Shards from shadow raids but ONLY if you use a Purified Gem during that shadow raid. The shadow shiny rates from raids are approximately 1/64. Not sure what the shadow shiny rate will be for Mewtwo, but I assume it’ll be the 1/20 shiny rate. The shadow Pokémon that are able to be shiny are: Poliwag, Machop, Beldum, Sneasel and Mewtwo. Shadow Mewtwo is NOT available at the start of this event. Shadow Mewtwo will appear in five-star Shadow Raids from Saturday, May 27, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, May 28, 2023, at 8:00 p.m local time. Frustration is NOT able to be removed during the event. You can NOT use remote raid passes on shadow raids. You can NOT create a private lobby for shadow raids. There are no new shadow Pokémon in rocket leaders or rocket grunts.
