Since the Update that gave us Team Rocket encounters, Shadow Pokémon have become a thing.
Aside from looking cool, and the option to "Purify" them (which leads to a badge, making the capture encounters easier?), and the excessive costs to buy a "new attack", what is the point of keeping a Shadow Pokémon?

There isn't one, unless it fits one of the typically min-max desired attributes:
- Has high IVs
- Has desired moves
Other than that, there's no point in keeping them as they are also fodder Pokemon, or if you intend to at some point mass-purify them.
Just a note: Fodder shadow is more valuable than regular fodder Pokemon as they have lower costs when upgraded using candy (like Lucky Pokemon), so if moves and IVs aren't your goal: That's a reason to keep them (ie. a shadow Bulbasaur with bad IVs versus a regular Bulbasaur with also bad IVs)
