Shadow Claw Effect

Has the user dash in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon, and leaving them unable to act for a short time. If this move hits an opposing Pokemon near the dash's end point, that Pokemon will be thrown instead of being left unable to act.

How to Use Shadow Claw

Combo with Feint Attack

Shadow Claw is a simple dash move that damages and disables enemies if you used by itself. However, it becomes more effective if you use Shadow Claw in between Feint Attack activations, allowing you to keep enemies stunned in place thanks to its reset mechanic.

Feint Attack: Zoroark Move Effect and Cooldown

Utilize the Knockup Effect Once Upgraded

Targets hit at the end point of Shadow Claw knocks them up instead of stunning them. The knockup effect takes longer once you upgrade Shadow Claw. Given this, try to hit enemies at the end point of Shadow Claw as much as you can once you upgrade the move, allowing you to keep enemies in place longer, especially if used with Feint Attack.

Traverse Walls

You can use Shadow Claw to move past walls, allowing you to target enemies from behind walls. You can also use it for escaping or scoring if needed.
