TM65 Shadow Claw is a Physical Ghost-type move that deals damage at 70 base power. The attack also has an increased critical hit ratio.

Because there aren’t many Physical attacking Ghost-type Pokémon, it can be difficult for Shadow Claw to reach its full potential in a typical playthrough.

If you’re set on using the move, pair it with a hard-hitting Pokémon like Golurk for max effectiveness.
