Ah, %PLAYERNAME%! Given all the bizarre occurrences taking place worldwide, we need to prioritize ensuring the safety and well-being of the Pokémon in our area! And the best way for us to do that is for you to catch and befriend as many of them as you can! That way you can monitor their behavior firsthand and report any unusual findings.

How about it? Ready to get out there and catch some Pokémon? Thanks for tending to all those Pokémon, %PLAYERNAME%. I’m still getting reports of shadows throughout the world behaving unusually, so it looks like our work has just begun. I’d like you to survey the area and pay particular attention to any shadows you come across. And while you’re out there, why not take the opportunity to hatch some Eggs? Exploring is a great way to incubate Eggs and discover new Pokémon that could potentially aid our cause.

Professor Willow

%PLAYERNAME%! Our investigation has yielded exciting results! Given all our observations, the only logical conclusion is that we have Marshadow on our hands!  Marshadow is a unique Pokémon with the ability to conceal itself within any shadow. It’s likely feeling very cautious right now. We need to consider our next steps carefully and approach from a place of understanding. But I’m confident that with your patience and skills as a Trainer, you’ll be able to coax it out of the shadows!
