Shadow move: Difference between revisions

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. These moves often have lower [[power]] than their non-shadow counterparts, but still inflict more damage due to the aforementoned [[Same-type attack bonus|super-effectiveness]]. Their usefulness is also increased by their lack of {{PP}}, they can be used as often as needed within a single battle.

Although only available in Generation III, damage-dealing Shadow moves can be either [[Physical moves|Physical]] or [[Special moves|Speacial]]. Other moves would not be changed until [[Generation IV|the following generation]].
