In Pokémon UNITE, Phantom Force is 's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 5 and upgrading into it instead of . The user creates a ring under itself and warps to a designated Pokémon's location, dealing damage to nearby opposing Pokémon at that location and shoving them. The user then shoots two sinister flames that deal damage to opposing Pokémon they hit and decrease their movement speed for a short time. This move can be used a second time within a set amount of time. If used a second time, the user can return to the initial location where it warped from. When using this move, if there is a nearby ally Pokémon that is linked by Trick, that ally can also warp to the initial ring's location. The ally Pokémon that warps in this way will recover some HP. At level 12, the move makes the user invincible for a short time when used. In Unbound form, this move is replaced by .
