Spirit Shackle is a Ghost-type move introduced in the Pokémon series. It is known for its unique ability to trap the target, preventing them from escaping or switching out during battle. This move also deals damage and can be particularly effective against opponents that rely on fleeing or switching strategies. In addition to its trapping ability, Spirit Shackle has a secondary effect that allows the user to inflict damage while keeping the target in place. This makes it a strategic choice for trainers who want to control the flow of battle and limit their opponent's options, especially in competitive play.
