Void Shadows: Difference between revisions

The Void Shadows are, as stated previously, the minions of Dark Matter and none of them seem to have their own distinct personality that separates one from others of their kin. However, they seem to be akin to {{p|Ditto}} in that they can act as if they were another Pokémon, much like how one of them disguised themselves as {{p|Bunnelby}}. While they do not seem to be much in the way of speech, they are very aggressive to the player and his/her partner; going as far as to take on the form of a Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} and a pair of Mega {{p|Gengar}} as a means to stop them from returning to their world, and are willing to kill them to stop them. It is worth noting that unlike other Pokémon, their character portrait is obscured by static, much like Dark Matter's.

They are very strong fighters in a group whilst one of them on its' own is not a considerable threat, and are more menacing in that they can transform into any Pokémon they desire and harness their abilities. Like their commander, they too have a set of techniques that are unique to them, but are quite similar to other Pokémon techniques, but they have no defined [[Type]]. A few of them, however, are an exception to this rule. Their attacks are as follows:

* '''Peripheral Attack''' - This move is similar to {{m|Dark Pulse}} in that it targets foes that are currently surrounding the Void Shadow using the technique, however the damage dealt is typeless, it is a [[Special move]], and it does not cause flinching. While this technique normally has 10 PP, the Void Shadows never seem to run out of PP.

* '''Drain''' - This move is similar to {{m|Leech Life}} and various other {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP-draining moves}} in that it steals HP from the target in front of it with a shadowy aura, and is healed by half of the damage done. This attack is also typeless, and also deals Special damage. This attack has 12 PP initially.

* '''Shadow Headbutt''' - This move is akin to a normal {{m|Headbutt}}, and has a very similar animation to the move as well. It deals typeless damage, and is the only [[Physical move]] that Void Shadows know naturally.

Their [[Ability]] is known as Void Shadows, which is essentially the same in function as having no Ability at all in combat. But, this Ability might be what allows them to split into copies upon taking damage and assuming that they have enough elbow room to spawn another Void Shadow.
