How to purify Shadow Pokémon
Purify Pokémon is an action that, in addition to returning monsters to their usual appearance, will guarantee us some profits bonus which will make them more powerful than those we can capture by more conventional means and above all compensate for the loss of a slightly different aspect.
Performing this action is actually very simple, just open the list of Pokémon we have captured, select a Shadow and paying a cost of 2 Candies e 2000 Stardustwe can purify it.
I Purified Pokémon they will change their loaded move to Return, which we will not be able to remove even with the use of MT and they will get a +2 bonus in the IVs of each of their stats, as well as reaching level 25.
Another advantage they have access to is the halving of the amount of Stardust and Candy required for the Upgrade, similar to the Lucky Pokémon.
Finally, they can launch their charged move at a reduced cost.
Finally, remember that you have until July 29 to capture Straw Hat Pikachu! The game is still enjoying great success thanks to continued support and interesting new features!
