Zoroark (ゾロアーク, Zoroark) appears in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon. When summoned, Zoroark catches fighters, then slashes them with its claws using Fury Swipes akin to some Trapping Final Smashes, such as Secret Ninja Attack or Great Aether. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, it will not appear until having cleared 10-Man Smash. Except for the final hit, Zoroark's attacks are considered projectiles, which means that if it attacks a character wearing a Franklin Badge, that fighter will only take damage from the final hit.
Smash Balls will not appear while Zoroark is on the battlefield and vice versa, likely to prevent visual confusion.
Origin
Zoroark is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in the Generation V games Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. Notably, it and its pre-evolved form, Zorua, are only available in Black and White by an using event Pokémon, and in Black 2 and White 2 as a gift. However, this trend is broken in the Generation VI games Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, where it can be found in the wild. It evolves from Zorua starting at level 30. Zorua and Zoroark have the signature Ability Illusion, which allows them to pose as the last Pokémon in the party they belong to while retaining their moveset and typing until they are hit by an attack. Zoroark can learn Fury Swipes at level 13 as a Zorua or via Move Reminder.
Its ability to appear out of a Master Ball despite not being a Legendary Pokémon is likely in reference to its rarity in its debut in Generation V.
Trivia
- Goldeen and Zoroark are the only Pokémon that can come out of Master Balls that are not Legendary Pokemon.
- There is a glitch where, if Zoroark is summoned and targets a character using a Back Shield, then Zoroark's final blow never hits the character, leaving the character spinning until they are hit by an attack. [1]
