How to Use Shadow Ball

Focus on Key Targets

Pokemon UNITE - Gengar Disrupting Score with Shadow Ball
Shadow Ball reduces the Special Defense and applies Slow of any opponent caught in the orb's path. This is great for team fights because it allows your team to do more damage overall and help weaken enemy Defenders from a safe distance. The move also gives Gengar more reach for its attacks, making it possible to set up a Dream Eater or a Hex for easy bursts.
