here's the point nevake thought you guys knew:
shadowball is a ghost property attack; meaning it's physical, everybody go get your game paks (not u neva, drink your tea and relax) and check zam's ATK stat now.... ... ... wow..~~ wtf is this? zam has SHYT ATK XDDD *surprise~*
here're the arguments from those who use shadowball on special oriented pokes:
yes ghosts take double damage, and yes it's a decent powered move, but no on zam it's not stabbed + it's further reduced in its potential as zam has crap all offense... there were only 8 ghost type pokemon in the whole 386 lineup on my last count, and i doubt i missed any (gengar family, misdreavus, dusky family, and puppet family)
notice gengar family are all poison sub typed... no need for ghost moves... misdreavus/puppets are weak in terms of defensives anyway, and the only thing that'd probabli withstand a zam attack is perhaps dusklops; something that could withstand a friggin houndoom crunch... shadowball wun make that much of a difference...
some ppl use shadowball to ward off other psychic pokes; wtf are u worried about? if you can't do crap to em they certainli can't do it to you -_-" and i do not think n e one is stupid enough to throw in a psychic type when they see a psychic type (if we do it, we're planning something, if you guys did it, you simply hit the wrong button) ... they'd throw in a dark type if they had one, or SP tanks like the ledgend birds or blissey or dusky... then u... oh i forgot i shouldn't be saying so much since
