Super Contests

Shadow Blast (Japanese: ダークブラスト Dark Blast) is one of several Shadow moves available only in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Like other Shadow moves, it is forgotten and replaced with another move once the Pokémon is purified. It is Shadow Lugia's signature move.

Effect

Shadow Blast can be seen as a weaker, Shadow version of Aeroblast. It deals damage and has an increased critical hit ratio.

As Shadow Pokémon cannot be traded, and since Pokémon Contests do not exist in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Shadow Blast cannot be used in Contests.
