If a Pokémon is immune to being spooked, or already has any status condition, then this skill will not activate.
Effect

When activated, this skill inflicts spooked for 2 moves.
A spooked Pokémon will take ×1.5 Ghost -type damage.
- The triggering hit does not benefit from this ×1.5 damage, but subsequent hits in its combo will benefit.
Other damage multipliers, such as those based on match size, combo count, type matchups, and other skill effects such as Phantom Combo, are applied as usual. See Pokémon Shuffle → Damage for more details.
Note that a foe's current status condition will tick down its duration after a move is made, but before the second hit onwards of the move's resulting combo. This can result in the status effect being active for the first match of the combo, but being inactive for the subsequent matches in the same combo.
Skill level growth
Increasing skill level will increase the activation rate.
