Do they recover from their Shadow state the same as Pokemon?
Not quite. It’s next to impossible for such Pokemorphs to recover from this alone, some outside force needs to intervene and rekindle some of those emotions, preferably the positive ones. Continued exposure to such positive emotions are of great help, but indeed it’s ultimately a personal battle. The difficulty comes from the fact that it’s like an addiction. The rush of power combined with the suppression of the Trauma make it hard to give up- but it can be done.
