Night Shade (move)

Night Shade (Japanese: ナイトヘッド Night Head) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation II, it was the signature move of the evolutionary line.

Generation I
Night Shade inflicts damage equal to the user's level.

Although Night Shade is a Ghost-type move, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. Night Shade is not affected by type immunities, so can hit both and  Pokémon, both of which have immunities to Ghost-type moves during Generation I.

Generation II onward
Night Shade is now affected by type immunities; therefore, it cannot usually affect Normal-type Pokémon (but it can affect Psychic-type Pokémon, who are no longer immune to Ghost-type moves).
