  • Enrage begins after attack completion post 60% hp
  • Enraged Attack = Base Attack * 1.81 + 15
  • Enraged Defense = Base Defense * 3 + 15
  • The Shadow Pokemon is naturally Subdued at 15% hp
  • Enrage and subdued are 500ms spells followed by a 1.5s delay
  • It takes 8 purified gems across all players to suppress the enrage
  • Gems take 5s to take effect and you can not use a special attack during that time or it will be cancelled due to a bug
  • Each player can only use 5 gems
