Complete the evolution

Learn Shadow Ball, raise it to level 5 and take the Reflexes run stat card at least once. The ready evolution is included in a level-up offer; select it to turn Shadow Ball into Phantom Force. It keeps its ghost type and projectile behavior.

Read the stat change

The comparison below applies the official behavior ladder and evolution modifiers. Values are before partner attack, permanent/run modifiers, type matchup, weather and actual hit contact. A multi-hit pattern is not guaranteed single-target damage.

If you are stuck

At level four, you still need one move upgrade. At level five without Reflexes, take that stat card; a menu upgrade does not count. If already evolved, there is no second evolution in this snapshot. Check the current move in the evolution checker.
