MimikyuShadow Claw Effect
Has the user slash in front of itself with sharp claws, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits, decreasing their movement speed, and restoring the user's HP. Whenever the user hits opposing Pokemon with a basic attack, this move's cooldown is reduced, and the number of times the user attacks when this move is used next increases (maximum 4 times). The movement speed decreases caused by this move can stack.
How to Use Shadow Claw
Attack Enemies to Improve the Move
Shadow Claw's damage and effect can be improved by attacking opponents or wild Pokemon. Doing so builds up charges, increasing the number of attacks Mimikyu peforms when it uses Shadow Claw. As much as possible, build up charges first before using Shadow Claw to maximize its damage.
| Tip: |
|---|
| Use Boosted Attacks to charge up faster since Mimikyu attacks twice when it performs its Boosted Attacks. |
Attacking Reduces its Cooldown
Attacking opponents or wild Pokemon also reduces Shadow Claw's cooldown, allowing Mimikyu to use the move more frequently than normal.
Move While Performing the Move
Mimikyu can move around while performing Shadow Claw. Utilize this mechanic to ensure that all attacks hit the desired target.
Utilize the Healing Mechanic
Shadow Claw heals Mimikyu whenever it's used. Utilize this mechanic along with the cooldown reduction to help Mimikyu survive fights.
