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. This distinction appears to be based on the types of the moves they are most similar to; for example, {{m|Shadow Blast}} is a physical move because {{m|Aeroblast|its counterpart}} is a {{type|Flying}} move, which are all physical in Generation III.

Since Shadow Pokémon cannot be [[trade]]d, these moves are all exclusive to the two [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] games, with all but {{m|Shadow Rush}} exclusive to Pokémon XD. This also excludes them from use in {{pkmn|Contest}}s as there are no contests in [[Orre]]. | ||
