Further details about Shadow Raids were also announced by Niantic to show that in 3* and 5* Shadow Raids the Shadow Raid Pokémon will become enraged while battling them increasing their attack and defence. The Shadow Raids may require some more participants to weaken the Shadow Raid Pokémon and to subdue them. Purified Gems can be obtains to subdue Shadow Raid Bosses that will be able to be made from Shadow Shards that are obtained from Team GO Rocket battles. Shadow Shards can be merged by using Professor Willow's Shard Refiner to obtain a Purified Gem. Purified Gems can be used within a Shadow Raid to lower a enraged Shadow Pokémon's attack and defence temporarily. Participants of a Shadow Raid can use multiple Purified Gems during a Shadow Raid to stack the effects. If enough Purified Gems are used the enraged Shadow Pokémon will be subdued which would make it easier to defeat.
