Like mega evolutions, Shadow Pokémon are an alternative form of a Pokémon. However, there are two kinds of Shadow Pokémon:

• Pokémon with a shadowy aura around them, which may be purple or black. These are the more common types of Shadow Pokémon in canon.
• Pokémon with inverted coloration, or at least the same coloration (or similar) as Shadow Lugia. These are more common in fanart than their less corrupted brethren.
