Black Shuck is a shadowy creature that roams New Wirral. It appears in the form of a shadow version of the player. When the player encounters Black Shuck, it typically disappears, but has a 1% chance of chasing the player to begin a battle with them.

Battle

In battle, Black Shuck will use a copy of the player's team, but with each monster as an Astral bootleg and having an infinite Ghostly status.[1]

Upon defeat, Black Shuck will drop Black Shuck's Tape.[1] Black Shuck will still continue to appear throughout New Wirral after defeating it. Repeated fights will still drop Black Shuck's Tape.

Trivia

Origin

The name and concept of Black Shuck are likely inspired by the Black Shuck, a mysterious black dog from English folklore.[2]
