Shadow Ball

Move 1RangedUpgrades Astonish

Unleash a shadowy blob in front of Hoopa, dealing damage to enemies hit and decreases their movement speed and Sp. Def for a short time. If Hoopa then hits the same enemy with a move or boosted attack within a set amount of time, it deals additional damage and leaves the enemy unable to act for a short time. When using this move, if there is a nearby ally linked by Trick, this move will also unleash a shadowy blob at the same target from that ally's location.

The shadowy blob will now explode before disappearing. Enemies hit by the explosion are affected as if they were hit by the shadowy blob itself.
