Effect

Shadow Half halves the current HP of all Pokémon in battle, including the user, but cannot cause fainting. The user cannot take action on the next turn.

As Shadow Pokémon cannot be traded, and since Pokémon Contests do not exist in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Shadow Half cannot be used in Contests.
