    I want to add a mechanic similar to Shadow Pokemon based on the Dark Pokemon from the TCG and the movie Pokemon 4Ever: Celebi – Voice of the Forest, but there are clear differences. They all have Dark-type as their forced second type but keep their primary type, and there are no Shadow Move-like mechanics. In addition, there is actually no way to purify them like with Shadow Pokemon. This is to reflect the clear distinction. As a result, they would also not use the Heart Gauge. However, I have no clue how to go about this, as I also want to keep Shadow Pokemon.
     
    If they don't have Shadow moves/Heart Gauge, I'd suggest just making them Alternate Forms! You can define them with their Dark-type and add whatever other attributes you'd want. The tricky part might be getting a special animation to play like when Shadow Pokemon are sent out. If you wanted something like that, you'd need to write a script.

    And I think adding TCG mechanics is such a great idea! The TCG is way too overlooked, it has such great material to use.
