Effect Summary

User vanishes, dodging all attacks, and hits next turn. Hits through Protect and Detect.

Detailed Effect

Phantom Force causes the user to 'vanish' making it semi-invulnerable for the rest of the turn. On the next turn, the user reappears and deals damage.
Phantom Force ignores protection effects such as Protect or Endure and removes their effects until the end of the turn.
If the protection effect protects the entire side of the target's field, it will be removed (even if that protection move does not protect from Phantom Force such as Wide Guard).
If the target Pokémon is immune to Phantom Force (such as type icon Normal -type Pokémon) Phantom Force will not remove the protection effect.
If the user is holding a Power Herb item img, Phantom Force executes in one turn.
If the user falls asleep status condition img due to Yawn during the semi-invulnerable turn, the damaging turn will be cancelled.
A semi-invulnerable Pokémon can still be hit by moves affected by Lock-On or Mind Reader of if the attacker has the ability No Guard.
Phantom Force does not hit through Max Guard and does not remove its effect.
  • In Gen 6 Phantom Force bypasses accuracy stat img and evasion stat img checks to always hit except when the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as Dig or Fly.
    It also has double power against targets that used Minimize.
