Shadow Claw
GhostSummary
Shadow Claw is a Ghost-type move with 70 power and 100% accuracy. It has a high critical-hit ratio, making it more likely to land a critical hit compared to other moves. Shadow Claw is a popular choice for Pokémon that rely on physical attacks as it provides solid damage output and the potential for increased damage through critical hits. It is particularly effective against Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokémon, making it a strategic option in both casual and competitive battles. Additionally, many Pokémon with high Attack stats, such as Gengar and Aegislash, can learn Shadow Claw, further enhancing their offensive capabilities.
