In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Shadow Force is now used in a single turn, and lowers the user's action priority instead. Its base power and accuracy also vary between Giratina's Formes. It also obscures the user. When used by Giratina's Altered Forme, Shadow Force has a base power of 100 and accuracy of 100. When used by Giratina's Origin Forme, Shadow Force has a base power of 120 and accuracy of 80 alongside a unique animation.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Shadow Force is a move with 50 base power, 100% accuracy, and 6 PP. This attack hits enemy in the front, hitting through {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Protect}} status condition and ending it early. This move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation. Being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked.
The user gains the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Shadow Force}} status on the first turn. On this turn, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves and projectiles will pass the user as if their tile was empty. On the second turn, the user attacks enemy in the front. The move breaks through the enemy's {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, or {{m|Quick Guard}} to damage the enemy. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, this move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation.  
 
Being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked. Shadow Force cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series.
