Shadow Fire (Japanese: ダークファイア Dark Fire) is one of several Shadow moves available only in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Like other Shadow moves, it is forgotten and replaced with another move once the Pokémon is purified. It is Shadow Moltres' signature move.

Effect

Shadow Fire is a Shadow version of Flamethrower, and has a 10% chance of burning the target.

As Shadow Pokémon cannot be traded, and since Pokémon Contests do not exist in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Shadow Fire cannot be used in Contests.
