shadow chao help

[MonarchVR76]

my chao evolved once, and hes green. i know i have to further increase his run stat, but does it matter if i use animals or chaos drives?

chaos drives and animals work just don't give it anything else and you'll be fine

okay, like no other types of drives or animals? I've given him tons of drives and his color hasn't changed at all, he's still bright green

[76561198983861241]

did you pet him with a dark character

[76561198983861241]

always pet a dark chao with a dark character or give him dark fruit and if you have the dark garden let the dark garden influence him

yes he already evolved once, hes a dark/run chao but hes green rn instead of red

[MonarchVR76]

when a chao first evolves into dark/run chao, it'll have spikes like shadow but it starts out green instead of red. idk if he turns red with age, run animals, or green chaos drives

oh solved it you need a red twotone for a red shadow chao the one you have is a neutral twotone

what's a red two tone?

[Tetsuya_Kurogane]

Something else to consider, after evolving a Chao will still have change based on their 'age'
A Dark Run type will see their spikes grow longer and change tone hue.

These explanations are to basic for what the OP is looking for.

Here use this website.

Make sure your only giving them run drives and no other stat is as high. You get varients of the primary type otherwise.

You want just pure run with them.

When trying to get a certain look avoid using animals at all because they tend to c
Have other stats.

I only use animals when making chaos chao or going for certain abilities or looks.

Use eggman rogue and shadow only when interacting with the Chao.

so he either 1: got the wrong color of chao. 2: used a different animals/drives by accident or 3: needs to wait for his chao to age up

When looking for certain Chao it's best to avoid using animals at all. As they can decrease or increase stats you might not find for the desired results some fruits can also use different stats that you can use in place of the animals

Also avoid chaos fruit unless your making a chaos chao or don't care about its appearance.

all right then

[MonarchVR76]

I'm so dumb, his power was too high. I restarted with another chao and he's turning red.
