All Shadow Pokemon have going for them is; they earn less experience than regular Pokémon; they learn Shadow Rush; and they have a cool purple aura.

Meaning that the only things separating them from ordinary Pokémon is one major downside, a weak signature move, and a minor aesthetic difference. I know Sam said he won't program any more Shadow moves in, but if he was gonna limit himself to one, did it have to be one of the weaker ones? At least one physical and one special! Shadow Break and Shadow Storm would have worked.
