Shadow-Pokemon Classic Lands on Switch 2 NSO This March

Nintendo Life reports Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, a GameCube RPG, is joining the Switch 2 Online GameCube library in March 2026 as an NSO-exclusive release. It marks the second RPG spin-off to hit the service (arriving before Pokémon Colosseum), and centers on Shadow Pokémon led by Shadow Lugia. Notably, XD cannot be transferred to other Pokémon games nor used with Pokémon Home, and the NSO listing implies this title will land exclusively on Switch 2 before Colosseum arrives.

Shadow Surge Reshapes GO PvP with Fresh Shadow Pokémon

During Niantic's GO Rocket Takeover, a new batch of Shadow Pokémon arrives (Thundurus, Greninja, Chesnaught, Delphox), spawning a PvP-focused analysis. Shadow Thundurus offers strong energy generation and a viable Great League presence with moves like Brick Break/Crunch; Shadow Greninja can outperform its non-Shadow in Ultra and Great Leagues thanks to Water Shuriken and high damage, though bulk is sacrificed. Chesnaught and Delphox act as sidegrades with tradeoffs that depend on league and move choices.

"Community Day Evolution: Pokemon Go Players Share Crucial Warnings"

Pokemon Go players are advised not to wait for Community Day to evolve Shadow Pokemon, as the exclusive move offered during the event may not be worth it. In response to a player's question about evolving a Shadow Dratini, the community suggested using TMs during the next event and evolving whenever, as the Community Day move, Draco Meteor, is not considered one of the better Charged Moves for PvP or PvE battles.

Shiny Pokemon are even harder to come by, making this find a remarkable combination of rarity. The player is now faced with the decision of whether to purify the Shadow Pokemon and lose its Shadow status or keep it as a powerful Shiny Pokemon.
