-'''Shadow moves''' are special [[move]]s known only by [[Shadow Pokémon]].  They are of the [[??? (type)|???]] type.  In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Shadow moves are super effective against any normal, non-Shadow [[Pokémon]] and not very effective against other Shadow Pokémon.
+'''Shadow moves''' (Japanese: '''ダークわざ''' ''Dark moves'') are [[move]]s known only by [[Shadow Pokémon]].
-Since Shadow Pokémon cannot be [[Trade|traded]], these moves are all exclusive to the two [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube] Pokémon RPG games.  More accurately, the majority of them are exclusive to Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, since only the move Shadow Rush was available in [[Pokémon Colosseum]].
+==Mechanics==
+Shadow moves have no [[type]] and display a blank space where the type would normally go on the [[summary]] and battle screens. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], there is only one Shadow move, {{m|Shadow Rush}}, which has regular effectiveness against any type. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Shadow moves are super effective on any non-Shadow Pokémon and are not very effective on Shadow Pokémon. All Shadow moves have unlimited [[PP]], and display "--" (two dashes) as their current and maximum PP at all times. Shadow moves cannot be copied by {{m|Mimic}} or {{m|Sketch}}. Using {{m|Mirror Move}} on a Shadow move will result in Mirror Move failing.
-Many of the Shadow moves are dark, corrupted counterparts of a move that the Shadow Pokémon would normally learn. A major example of this is [[Shadow Lugia]]'s {{m|Shadow Blast}}, which, like the move {{m|Aeroblast}}, sends a high-powered stream of air at the foe, and can only be learned by Lugia.
+In Pokémon XD, the area on the summary screen that would normally display type effectiveness instead displays no icon at all for every type (instead of either a super effective, effective, not very effective, or immune icon).
-==List of Shadow moves==
+Damage-dealing Shadow moves can be either [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]], despite damage categories being otherwise solely dependent on type at the time. Other moves would not be categorized separately from type until [[Generation IV|the following generation]].
-* {{m|Shadow Blast}}
-* {{m|Shadow Blitz}}
-* {{m|Shadow Bolt}}
-* {{m|Shadow Break}}
-* {{m|Shadow Chill}}
-* {{m|Shadow Down}}
-* {{m|Shadow End}}
-* {{m|Shadow Fire}}
-* {{m|Shadow Half}}
-* {{m|Shadow Hold}}
-* {{m|Shadow Mist}}
-* {{m|Shadow Panic}}
-* {{m|Shadow Rave}}
-* {{m|Shadow Rush}}
-* {{m|Shadow Shed}}
-* {{m|Shadow Sky}}
-* {{m|Shadow Storm}}
-* {{m|Shadow Wave}}
+Since Shadow Pokémon cannot be [[trade]]d, all of these moves are exclusive to the two [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] games, with all but Shadow Rush exclusive to Pokémon XD. This also excludes them from use in {{pkmn|Contest}}s, as there are no Contests in [[Orre]].
+All {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD have a Shadow move as their [[signature move]]. This move appears as a dark, corrupted counterpart of a move that the Pokémon would normally learn, and has lower base [[power]] than its non-Shadow counterpart, but still inflicts more damage due to usually being in a situation where it will be super effective.
