Shadow “Type”
-Shadow is not a real type as much as it is a property that can be applied to the base Pokemon. A Shadow Pokemon keeps the weaknesses, resistances, and immunities of its base form.
-Shadow moves are not very effective against shadow Pokemon, but super-effective against non-Shadow Pokemon
——————————————————
Shadow Pokemon Properties:
-Shadow Pokemon cannot evolve, rank-up, or be retrained
-Happiness and Loyalty is always set to 0
-At the beginning of each round, roll 1 chance dice to go into Hyper Mode. Every subsequent round add an additional Chance Dice to the Chance Die Pool.
-They have a Heart Gauge that can range anywhere from 0 to 5. Using Scent Items outside of Combat or making the Shadow Pokemon leave Hyper Mode or Reverse Mode can increase the value at the Storyteller’s discretion. When the Heart Gauge reaches 5 it can be purified.
——————————————————
Hyper Mode
When a Shadow Pokemon enters Hyper Mode, a Pokemon becomes completely irrational and will often do the following things
-It may disobey it’s trainer and use another move other than the one it was told to use(often choosing a Shadow Move)
-It may attack an ally Pokemon or any trainer on the battlefield. If it attacks a trainer it uses Struggle against them.
-It may hit itself in confusion
-It may do nothing for the round
-It may try to use it’s consumable Hold Item
-It may return to its Pokeball, even if it is Blocked
Non-Scent itmes cannot be used on a Pokemon in Hyper Mode, only using a Scent Item or having 2 or more successes on and Insight + Empathy check made end its rage. Occasionally a Shadow Pokemon may leave Hyper Mode of its own volition during combat but will always leave it at the end of the scene.
——————————————————
Reverse Mode
Reverse Mode is a less severe version of Hyper Mode but it can be retained even outside of battle. Using a Shadow Move on the same Battlefield as the Shadow Pokemon, even if they themselves are not the user, can trigger this mode. Under such circumstances if the Shadow Pokemon isn’t in Hyper Mode roll 1 Chance Dice for every Shadow Move used during the scene. On a success they enter Reverse Mode. Reverse mode causes the Pokemon to often use moves other than the one its trainer asked it to use, on top of dealing 1 damage at the end of each round to itself. Reverse Mode can be removed using the same methods as Hyper Mode.
