Shadow Force

Shadow Force is the vast signature move of Giratina. It is a -type move. It takes up two turns to use. On the first turn the user of the move disapears and is unable to be harmed. Then on the next turn it attacks, and will hit even if the foe (or ally in a Double Battle, if the player chooses to attack the ally) uses Protect or Detect! Giratina is the only Pokémon that can use it, along with a special event Arceus to be distributed to viewers of the Japanese version of Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime, unless a hacking device is used. It has 120 Power, 100 Accuracy, and 5 PP. It is a Physical move. It is also one of the most powerful -type moves.
