Shadow mechanics: Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but also take about 20% more (Attack ×1.2, Defense ×0.83) — top raid attackers when you can afford the glass cannon. They can't be traded, and the charged move Frustration can only be replaced with a Charged TM during special events. Stats below are the base form's; the shadow multipliers apply on top in battle.
