Zophan
Zophan is a liquid substance located within Zophan Canisters. It originates and is limited to the Dark World, an original world from Niet. Except for the Zophan Canisters it does not influence the game any further.[1]
Hypermode
When talking about Niet's original world, Hypermode is similar to Mega Evolution. Pokémon can transform into Hypermode when they're angry or in a similar emotional state. A Pokémon in Hypermode gets Zophan as an additional type, which is super-effective against itself. The base stats of the Pokémon also changes, though the total amount is similar to Mega Evolution. It is also possible that the Ability changes when transforming into Hypermode.

Zophan Shield
1/8 of the max HP is used to create a shield out of Zophan to protect its caster. In case of an attack the assault gets blocked and the attacker's Special Attack is lowered by one stage. This can be done repeatedly until either the PP runs out or the Pokémon loses all HP and is defeated.
Zophan Pulse
The user of this attack suffers 1/3 of the damage dealt as recoil. With a 10% chance the attack turns into a OHKO move and defeats the opponent instantly, in such a case there is no recoil damage.
Zophan Beam
A powerful attack that inflicts the user 50% of the own max HP as recoil when used, even if the attack misses or fails. The attack can OHKO the opponent with a 30% chance.
Dark Portal
This move can only be used if the Pokémon has at least 1/8 of its HP left, otherwise the attack fails. If it succeeds the Pokémon flees from the battle instantly.
Trivia
