"Shadow Raids introduce new challenges and rewards to Pokémon Go"

Pokémon Go introduces Shadow Raids, allowing players to battle and capture Shadow Pokémon in-person only. The raids will come in different difficulty levels and feature Shadow Legendary Pokémon, starting with Shadow Mewtwo. The introduction of Shadow Raids is part of Niantic's push to get people outside and introduce fresh gameplay mechanics. The Remote Raid nerf was necessary to balance the game and make access to rare and powerful creatures more challenging. Shadow Raids will debut next week, with all raids featuring Shadow Pokémon on Saturday, 27th May.

Pokemon Go Revenue Hits 5-Year Low Amidst Remote Raid Pass Controversy.

Pokémon Go's monthly revenue dropped to $34.7 million in April, the lowest in over five years, with a 40% drop over two months. The decline could be due to backlash over Niantic's decision to increase the price of Remote Raid Passes and limit players to five Remote Raids per day, which some have criticized as a "disability tax" that negatively impacts disabled players. The game's revenue typically rises and falls with new in-game events, but the recent drop is uncharacteristically steep for a consistently popular game.
