My bad, it is more clearly shown there. Thanks.
Although, that scene also shows Shadow repeatedly trying to teleport to catch up with the drifting Sonic, & being unable to catch up.

We see Shadow losing the emerald right after Sonic enters the portal. He just didn't have enough time to use Chaos Control.
PIS, bad writing. Pick your poison.

One could argue that Shadow chose not to -Or didn't have a reason to teleport interdimensionally, as he likely didn't know about the Shatterverses yet- try to teleport interdimensionally.
By that logic, Shadow hasn't shown the lack of capability, just the lack of initiative, presuming going into the "spacetime gap" =/= Dimensional Travel.
Plot-Induced Stupidity, or PIS for short, is a term used to refer to events in a story that contradict a character's normal capabilities for the purpose of the plot.
So what's the basis of calling it Plot-Induced Stupidity when it's not that he's not capable, but rather, didn't choose to interdimensionally teleport, since at the moment, he was trying to catch up to Sonic, & thus, didn't have reason to interdimensionally teleport?

My initial curiousity was the intricate details of the steps of Shadow (Sonic Prime)'s teleportation via Chaos Control, as, between initiating his teleport & returning from it, he was unaffected by the Paradox Prism's shattering's effects, which we rate as having Low Multiversal AP & Range.
From what I've read, he's demonstrated interdimensional Dimensional Travel teleportation range via Chaos Control teleportation, something to do with a "spacetime gap" in earlier game entries, & supposedly, his capabilities were nerfed in more recent entries?
Furthermore, if Shadow has such travel via his teleportation -Especially if he can do so without a Chaos Emerald-, I was wondering if it's a matter of lack of capability, or lack of reason/motive (Preoccupied by trying to teleport to the drifting Sonic.) at the time.
After all, if Shadow could teleport interdimensionally, especially without a Chaos Emerald, he'd be able to enter the Shatterverses.

don't think he was nerfed,IDW nerfs the characters,but the nerfs are not gonna affect the games(the games will overide IDW obviosly)i think shadow just wanted to get close to sonic,and he try to new yoke by himself and not using chaos control because,i guess he didn't find it neccesary.

Is there evidence in games released after the IDW nerf that Shadow can interdimensionally teleport?
Understandable. Given he had reason to not try to teleport interdimensionally at the time, would you call that PIS?
Also, what are the intricate steps of a Chaos Control teleport?
Ex?:
1. Initiate.
2. Go to "spacetime gap".
2-A. Hold position in spacetime gap? Indefinitely? Stamina cost? Time passage?
3. Return.
How does it differ when having or not having a Chaos Emerald?
Why would the Paradox Prism's effects not affect Shadow if it has Low Multiversal Range?

You mean Mania Encore and Team Sonic Racing? One's a spin-off with cars and one takes place at a point in the timeline before Shadow is even around.
Not like it's needed. It's an established ability that Chaos Control offers throughout the framchise, a secondary canon show with writers that consumed but a fraction of the franchise compared to even the more casual Sonic fans doesn't invalidate that. You're letting the inconsistencies bother you too much in a franchise known for its inconsistency.
We don't have solid answers for this aside from what we gathered in Prime, which is that using Chaos Control seems to spatially remove the user from the universe during the time it's used.
We don't know yet and tbh I doubt we'll find out.

He can't without an emerald. It's already canon in Rivals 2. Regular Chaos Control isn't enough for interdimensional travel.

Only episode 1. I'm gonna watch it at a leisurely pace. I don't think I have the mental strength to binge something like Prime.

I've barely watched any AoStH. Didn't really pique my interest. From what I watched it was tolerable (Some funny scenes in it), but I wouldn't go out of my way to binge it. It's not hard to watch Prime, but it'd be hard to binge it. It'd be hard to watch it for a long time. I may get bored and do something else or fall asleep. I'll prolly try to watch a few episodes a week or smth.

You have a much stronger will than I do when it comes to this. I could binge smth like S2 or S3 of Sonic X. But doing so for Prime requires another level of bravery and grit.

If it's any consolation One Piece proportionally has the least amount of filler out of the HST.
