Learn how to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokemon in Pokemon GO with simple steps and maximize their battle potential.
If you’ve caught Shadow Pokemon in Pokemon GO, you might have encountered a ‘frustrating’ roadblock—quite literally. Don’t worry! With the right approach, you can overcome this hurdle and unlock your Shadow Pokemon’s full potential. Let’s explore how to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokemon.
What Is Frustration in Shadow Pokemon
Frustration is the default Charged Attack for every Shadow Pokemon you catch. While it sounds ironic, considering how much effort you’ve put into catching them, Frustration is a weak Normal-type move that doesn’t do your Shadow Pokemon much favors in battles. It sticks around even when the Pokemon evolves, making it tough to utilize them effectively.
Here’s the catch: you can’t simply replace it using regular Charged TMs. The process requires specific conditions, and here certain in-game events come into play.
How To Remove Frustration From Shadow Pokemon
1) Use Charged TM
During Team GO Rocket events, Pokemon GO allows players to use Charged TMs to remove Frustration. These opportunities don’t come often, so it’s crucial to plan ahead.
- Choose Your Shadow Pokemon: Open your Pokemon collection by tapping the Poke Ball icon. Use the search bar and type “shadow” to quickly locate all your Shadow Pokemon.
- Select and Use a Charged TM: Once you’ve picked the Pokemon, tap it and access the menu from the bottom-right icon. Select “Items,” locate your Charged TM, and use it. Confirm your choice to replace Frustration with a new Charged Attack.
- You Cannot Pick Specific Moves with Regular TMs: Regular Charged TMs assign a new move randomly. If you’re aiming for a specific attack, you’ll need an Elite Charged TM. It’s better to save those for later once Frustration is gone.
2) Purify Your Pokemon
Purifying your Shadow Pokemon is another way to erase Frustration. While purification replaces Frustration with the Charged Attack “Return,” it also boosts the Pokemon’s stats and lowers the cost of upgrades. This choice is especially useful if you prefer a balanced Pokemon instead of the raw strength of a Shadow variant.
