Shadow Sky (Japanese: ダークウェザー Dark Weather) 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.

Effect

Shadow Sky is the Shadow version of Hail and Sandstorm, and damages all non-Shadow Pokémon at the end of each turn (including those who have been purified). It also changes Weather Ball to ???-type. This can only be seen in the battle with Cipher Admin Snattle, against the Shadow Pokémon Lunatone and Castform, when both are on the field at the same time.

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