Talk:List of Shadow Pokémon

Find again?

Ok, so my brother played the game without me and missed the Furret owned by Cail. He had Pokéballd ready but he just didn't think it was worth it. But now I know I need Furret to get Ho-oh. Can I find that Furret again? Or is it game over so to speak. Mr.Char (talk) 07:30, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

• • As a matter of fact does this apply to an Shadow Pokémon? Mr.Char (talk) 07:31, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

In both Colosseum and XD, if you ever miss a Shadow Pokémon, there is always another chance to get it. No matter how many times you miss it, it will be somewhere. You can fight Cain multiple times, but for some other Shadow Pokémon, they usually show up in the Snagem hideout after the credits roll.

Add recovered moves?

I'd like to propose adding the moves that get restored once the Shadow moves are removed via purification. Unfortunately I don't really have the knowledge of Bulbapedia's templates to come up with a good way of doing so. Nairbnroh (talk) 06:30, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm sort of working on that, and a bit more. I've been digging into Colosseum, and I'm half ready to update the Purification and related pages, except that I haven't checked into XD's info yet, and recently I've been bogging myself down in other Colosseum miscellanea rather than finding what I need to know in XD about Purification and Shadow Pokemon...

That's EXACTLY how I envisioned it to look! I just had no idea how to do that without spending hours studying templates. I hope this can be implemented! Nairbnroh (talk) 21:35, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

I would happily vouch for using your edit of the page, even in its current form. The current version is missing valuable information, such as recovered moves, that your list thankfully includes. I've actually been using your version for a personal project and I feel that the site is failing us if it cannot provide the information that yours does. I'm not that good with wiki's, but is there any logic reason why we couldn't simply copy over your information, even as is? Is there any notable objections to doing so?

At the time of my last message, I didn't have the XD data, so that was a fair reason to wait. The main reason we can't just copy in my version—that a staff member's approval is at least nominally required—is that the mainspace template here is protected. (It shouldn't especially need to be, but for now, it is.) If it weren't, I might indeed be inclined to just change it myself. Personally, I just want to shore up doubts before putting it in the mainspace, but my current doubts aren't 1) huge or 2) anything that would need staff intervention to fix, so I'll go ahead and ask someone about it.
