These new Shadow Raids will start appearing in the final event of the game\u2019s season 10 content\u2014Rising Shadows.\u00a0 Shadow Raids will act similarly to Go Rocket takeovers at Pok\u00e9Stops, to an extent. This time, they are taking over Gyms with their Shadow Pok\u00e9mon to create the new raid type, and Shadow Mewtwo will be the starting point, with its Shiny variant available too. Players taking part in Shadow Raids will battle extremely powerful Pok\u00e9mon that get stronger the longer a battle goes on as they boost their attack and defense. These enraged Shadow Pok\u00e9mon can still be tackled by solid teamwork, but a new item can also help calm them down.\u00a0 Related: Shadow Raids are an \u2018evolution\u2019 for Pok\u00e9mon Go as Niantic works to incentivize players with new content Shadow Shards can now be collected in the game, and combining enough of them together using Professor Willow\u2019s Shard Refiner technology can create a Purified Gem. This Gem can be used during Shadow Raids to temporarily lower the raid boss\u2019 stats\u2014and players can stack their effects by using them at the same time.\u00a0 Using enough of them can even knock the Shadow Raid Boss out of its enraged state entirely, though only three and five-star Shadow Raids will feature the rage mechanic. And, as expected, players will not be able to use Remote Raid Passes to participate in Shadow Raids at all.\u00a0 Rising Shadows will be the culmination of the Rising Heroes season and introduce Shadow Raids as a feature when it launches on May 22. This will also be the first time players can obtain the Master Ball in Pok\u00e9mon Go too.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shadow-raids.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868713"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=868713"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868713\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":869656,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868713\/revisions\/869656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/868792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=868713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=868713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=868713"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=868713"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=868713"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=868713"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=868713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
