While it\u2019s not often that new items are introduced to Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>, when they do make their way into the mobile title, they usually bring about new mechanics that allow players to enjoy new or enhanced features.<\/p>

Alongside the new Shadow Raids<\/a>, Niantic is giving players another valuable collectible to farm in the form of Shadow Shards, which directly influence how players will perform in this new type of Raid. Much like how the Rocket Radar has worked in the past, collecting enough of these new items will create another new item, the Purified Gem, which possesses the power to quell the fury of boss Shadow Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>

These new items were added to Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> starting on May 22 alongside a massive Team Go Rocket takeover and the first iteration of Shadow Raids, which is being described as an ‘evolution’ in terms of content<\/a>. <\/p>

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about how to get and use Shadow Shards and Purified Gems to increase your chances of completing Shadow Raids.<\/p>
