On the first turn of this move's use, the user "vanishes instantly" and enters a semi-invulnerable state, within which it cannot be attacked unless the attacker has the No_Guard Ability or has used Lock-On or Mind Reader on the turn prior to its target disappearing. The user of Shadow Force is also immune to damage from harmful weather in this state, but not to damage from harmful statuses, or from recurrent damage from moves like Wrap and Fire Spin.
On the following turn the user reappears and will attempt to hit the target. This move will not need a charging turn if the user is holding a Power Herb, or is under the effects of Gigacharge. This move will end prematurely (without dealing damage) if the user succumbs to flinching, paralysis, sleep, being frozen, infatuation or confusion damage while vanished. Shadow Force ignores the effect of the moves Protect and Detect, and a successful hit will cause the effects of those moves to be lifted for the rest of the turn à la Feint. In a triple battle, this move may target anyone facing or adjacent to the user. This move is the signature move of Giratina, and is not available for use in other suggestions' movelists. |
