Max-Phantasm is a Ghost-type Max Move with varying power depending on the base move it replaces, typically ranging from 110 to 150. Max Moves like Max-Phantasm do not have a standard accuracy rating as they always hit unless the target is protected by moves like "Protect" or "Max Guard". One of the key effects of Max-Phantasm is that it lowers the Defense of all opponents by one stage when it hits. This makes it a strategic option in battles to not only deal significant damage but also to weaken the opponent's defenses, setting up for stronger physical attacks from your team. Max-Phantasm is only available during Dynamax or Gigantamax battles, a mechanic introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
