Shadow Force causes the user to "vanish instantly" on the turn it is selected, rendering it semi-invulnerable, and then reappear the next turn to cause damage. It will hit the target even if it has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, and lifts the effects of those moves for the remainder of the turn. Shadow Force will lift the effects of {{m|Wide Guard}} and {{m|Quick Guard}} for the remainder of the turn only if they are used on an opposing team.

Shadow Force will lift the effects of {{m|Wide Guard}} and {{m|Quick Guard}} for the remainder of the turn only if they are used on an opposing team. Shadow Force cannot remove the effects of protecting moves if it does not affect the target (such as if the target is {{type|Normal}}).


If {{m|Yawn}} is used the turn before Shadow Force is used, the user will fall asleep and the move will be stopped before it hits (unless {{m|Uproar}}, {{a|Insomnia}}, or {{a|Vital Spirit}} prevents the user from falling asleep). In addition, a foe who has just used {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} can still strike through Shadow Force, as well as if the Ability {{a|No Guard}} is possessed by the foe or the user of Shadow Force.
