Shadow Bolt 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 Bolt is the Shadow version of Thunderbolt (albeit somewhat weaker), and has a small chance of inflicting paralysis on the target. This move is Shadow Zapdos's signature move in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

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