Summary
Shadow-Dash is a unique spectral ability primarily found in Ghost-type and Dark-type Pokémon. This powerful ability empowers a Pokémon to momentarily become intangible, bypassing attacks and obstacles seamlessly. During combat, when Shadow-Dash is activated, the user can effortlessly dodge physical strikes for a sole turn, simultaneously receiving a significant surge in speed. This allows them to potentially outpace their opponent during the subsequent turn.
Major effects of Shadow-Dash encompass:
- Intangibility: Grants temporary invulnerability to physical attacks for one turn, ensuring the user remains unharmed by such moves during this period.
- Speed Boost: Offers a considerable increase in the user’s Speed stat for the following turn, which can prove instrumental for strategic positioning and sophisticated maneuvers.
- Escape Utility: Outside traditional battles, Shadow-Dash can be utilized to navigate through barriers and avoid confrontations with wild Pokémon, mirroring the effects of moves like Teleport or maneuvers that prevent being entrapped in battle.
