Rage Mode
The 3-Star and 5-Star Shadow Raid bosses can only be found in Rage Mode. The Raid Boss enters Anger Mode when their health drops to roughly 50%. The Raid Boss’ attack is increased by 80% and defense by 200% in this setting. Purified Gems have been added by the game as a defense against the Raged Raid Bosses. Trainers can create Purity Gems with 4 Shadow Shards and Professor Willow’s latest Shard Refiner innovation.
The Raid Bosses’ attack and defense increase is reduced by utilizing Purified Gems. Several Purity Gems can be used simultaneously by Trainers and their raid partners. When sufficient amounts of Purified Gems have been expended, the Raid Boss will revert to its initial state. The raid boss also reverts to its former state when its Health reaches roughly 15%.
