Biology

It has a bulb on each arm as well as a collar that wraps around its neck. Its eyes are orange with yellow pupils. Above each eye is a spot that is the same color as its pupils. It has two trails of shadows coming out from behind its legs.

When angered or attacking, such as using its, Marshadow's fighting spirit will begin to burn, causing it to become Zenith Marshadow. In this state, its headgear, bulbs, and collar flare up and change to a forest-green and yellowish color. Marshadow's eyes will also flare up when in this state, but do not change in color.

Very few people have seen it, so its existence was the stuff of legends and myths. A cautious Pokémon, Marshadow sinks into the shadows to ensure it is not noticed while it observes its surroundings. Marshadow is known to hide in the shadows of others in order to become stronger by copying their power and movements. As seen in the anime, Marshadow is capable of causing nightmares. Marshadow is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move and exclusive Z-Move.
