Phantom Force is a Ghost-type move with 90 power and 100% accuracy. This move has a unique mechanic where the user disappears on the first turn and then strikes the opponent on the second turn, making it invulnerable to most attacks during the interim. Phantom Force also has the added benefit of breaking through the opponent's Protect or Detect, which can catch opponents off guard. It is typically used by Pokémon with high Attack stats, adding strategic depth to battles by allowing the user to avoid damage while setting up a powerful strike.
