The Set Pen Shade to () block is a Pen block and a stack block. The block sets the pen's shade to the specified amount. A 200 pen shade value is the same shade as a 0 pen shade value. In other words, if the pen shade is changed by 200, the shade still looks the same. In Scratch 3.0 the block was replaced by Set Pen () to ().
