Trivia[]

  • Even if the Shadow Pokémon has been taught new attacks, purifying it afterward will still learn Return.
  • Shadow Pokémon can learn exclusive attacks in future events as long as they forget Frustration.[5]
  • All six of the Shadow Pokémon by the Team GO Rocket Leaders returned in the global take-over, but the majority of Leaders still used their newest set of Pokémon.
