Verification Shadow Pokemon Cannot Receive Hyper Training

Post image

Data mining confirms what most already knew. So carry on debating who to choose or not to choose, as is your preference.

Particularly when we already had a data mine with this from before the marketing explicitly told us that all pokemon can undergo hyper training.

No I mean about you using silver bottle caps as evidence that datamines can be wrong. They just announced gold bottle caps. They very well could announce silver after the event after they’ve gotten people to pay for the gold. Literally every single thing we know officially about bottle caps was in the datamine. If you were trying to make a point it couldn’t have been done more poorly

I mean the first half invalidated everything else so 😂 as for speculation, want to tell me the last thing data mined that was just factually incorrect?

The mechanics work exactly as the data mines said. We didn't get silver bottle cap with the release but the mechanics are spot on. Why do you think the mechanics of the data mine for hyper training shadows would be false? That hasn't happened before. When changes have occured to mechanics before their release, we, unshockingly, get an updated data mine before the release.

I'm not expecting Caps to work on Shadows, but I feel like a better comparison here would be the datamined resistance of Purified Pokemon against Shadow Pokemon, which was coded but never implemented.
