All Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon Go in 2020

Defeating Team Go Rocket on our phones might have been what life has always wanted, but we prefer the poor and helpless Pokémon Shadow who suffered at their hands. There is something lovely about the little Shadow Pokémon that Team Go Rocket Grunt blocking access to Poké Stop just doesn't have.

Team Go Rocket brought Shadow Pokémon to Pokémon Go in July 2019. The initial Pokémon roster was sadly short with just 15 Pokémon, but we've come a long way since the first iteration of Team Go Rocket and Shadow Pokémon. Now, Trainers take on big names in the shady organization and capture their tormented Pokémon to free and tame them.

All you have to do is beat a representative of Team Rocket and you will have a chance to capture a Shadow Pokémon. It should be noted that Shadow Pokémon are inherently weaker than their unshaded counterparts. Purification is recommended, although red eyes and spooky shadows are really cool.
