Shadow Force
Effect Summary
Detailed Effect
Shadow 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.
Shadow 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 Shadow Force such as Wide Guard).
If the target Pokémon is immune to Shadow Force (such as
Normal
-type Pokémon) Shadow Force will not remove the protection effect.
If the user is holding a Power Herb
, Shdaow Force executes in one turn.
If the user falls asleep
due to Yawn during the semi-invulnerable turn, the damaging turn will be cancelled.
