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]] against any non-Shadow {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and are not very effective against other Shadow Pokémon. Since Shadow Pokémon cannot be [[trade]]d, these moves are all exclusive to the two GameCube games, with all but {{m|Shadow Rush}} exclusive to Pokémon XD. This also excludes them from use in {{pkmn|Contests}} as there are no Contests in [[Orre]]. | In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], there is only one Shadow move, {{m|Shadow Rush}}, which has regular effectiveness against any type.

Many of the Shadow moves are dark, corrupted counterparts of a [[move]] that the Shadow Pokémon would normally learn, such as [[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 being super effective. Their usefulness is also increased by their lack of {{PP}}, they can be used as often as needed within a | Many of the Shadow moves are dark, corrupted counterparts of a [[move]] that the Shadow Pokémon would normally learn, such as [[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.
