Night Shade

Ghost

Summary

Night Shade is a Ghost-type move with a unique power characteristic. Instead of dealing damage based on the user's or the target's stats, Night Shade inflicts damage equal to the user's level. For example, if the user is at level 50, Night Shade will deal 50 HP of damage to the target. It has 100% accuracy, ensuring the move hits consistently unless the opponent uses evasion-boosting moves or abilities. Night Shade is particularly useful for Pokémon with low offensive stats, as it guarantees a fixed amount of damage regardless of their Attack or Special Attack. It cannot affect Normal-type Pokémon, due to type immunities. Night Shade is a strategic choice in both in-game battles and competitive play, especially for Ghost-type Pokémon that need a reliable damage-dealing move.
