From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

The Shadow Shard (Japanese: シャドウのかけら Shadow Shard) is an item in Pokémon GO that is obtained from Team GO Rocket members. Four Shadow Shards can be combined to create a Purified Gem.

In Pokémon GO

Effect

Whenever the player obtains four Shadow Shards, they will be automatically combined inside Professor Willow's Shard Refiner to create a Purified Gem. Purified Gems are used in Shadow Raids to subdue an enraged three- or five-star Shadow Raid Boss.

Description

Acquisition

Shadow Shards are obtained after defeating a Team GO Rocket in a Trainer Battle or Shadow Raid.

In Trainer Battles, Team GO Rocket members will leave behind Shadow Shards if the player has less than 10 Purified Gems on hand.

Shadow Raids reward 1 or 3 Shadow Shard as part of the base rewards, with bundles of two Shadow Shards as possible variable rewards. Since higher difficulty Shadow Raids yield more reward bundles, they have a greater potential to reward more Shadow Shards. Shadow Shards are not awarded if the player has 10 or more Purified Gems on hand by the end of the raid.
