On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Shadow Sneak (Japanese: かげうち) is a Ghost-type move introduced in Generation IV that deals a small amount of damage.

Effect

Generation IV

Shadow Sneak does damage, and is an increased priority move. If the opponent does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, Shadow Sneak will go first regardless of the user's or opponent's speed. If the opponent also uses an increased priority move during the same round that the user uses Shadow Sneak, the attack order of the users will be determined normally. If the user is put to sleep or frozen during the round that Shadow Sneak is (or attempts to be) used, Shadow Sneak's increased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.
