This move has a unique effect: If user's current type does not include Ghost or if user has Magic Guard, decreases user's Speed by one stage and increases user's Attack and Defense by one stage. Otherwise, user loses half of total HP (even if HP reduced would faint user) and at the end of every round, opponent loses 1/4 of total HP. This latter effect ends when opponent is switched. During effect, this attack fails against opponent. Fails either way if no target exists. (As commands are chosen, if user's current type does not include Ghost or if user has Magic Guard, user can't choose an opponent. If user doesn't choose an opponent, a random opposing Pokemon is chosen as the opponent as this attack is used.)
This move bypasses Substitute.
