IntroducedGeneration 4

The user of Shadow Force will vanish instantly on the first turn, disappearing from view and becoming invulnerable to most attacks. On the second turn, Shadow Force deals damage and can hit Pokémon using Protect or Detect. It also removes their effect for the rest of the turn (in double and triple battles).

While disappeared, the Pokémon can only be hit by moves from No Guard Pokémon, or any move following an identify move.

If the user is holding a Power Herb, Shadow Force executes in one turn.

When a Pokémon is holding Ghostium Z and uses its Z-Power, Shadow Force turns into Never-Ending Nightmare and has base power 190.
