Reverse Mode Explained:
A Shadow Pokemon (a Pokemon with a shadowy aura that hasn't been fully purified) will occasionally go out of control if its emotions run wild. This state is referred to as "Reverse Mode." When a Shadow Pokemon is undergoing Purification, its heart slowly opens as it gradually prepares to return to its natural state, but its shadowy aura doesn't disappear until Purification is complete. The Shadow Pokemon sometimes snaps under the influence of its shadowy aura. A Shadow Pokemon is more likely to go into Reverse Mode the closer it is to full Purification.
Effects of Reverse Mode:
- The Shadow Pokemon will take damage from its own attacks.
- It won't accept any item except a Cologne Scent.
How to End Reverse Mode:
- You can make it come to its senses by Calling it.
- You can give it a Cologne Massage.
- Be aware that Shadow Pokemon are more likely to enter Reverse Mode as they near the end of Purification.
- Remember that only a Cologne Scent can be used on a Pokemon in Reverse Mode.
- Calling your Pokemon or giving it a Cologne Massage are the only ways to snap it out of Reverse Mode.
