He is a clone of Pit, and shares many moves with him, including Upperdash Arm (using the Electroshock Arm instead for his version), Guardian Orbitars and Power of Flight.

Trivia

• Despite official artwork of Dark Pit showing him wielding the Dark Pit Staff, he actually uses the Silver Bow for all of his attacks, only using the staff for his Final Smash.
• Dark Pit is the only newcomer to be shown in another fighter's reveal trailer, but not to be revealed as a fighter. This caused many to believe that Dark Pit was the boss character for Palutena's Temple or an alternate costume for Pit.
• Dark Pit and Rosalina are the only characters with a different victory theme that isn't a remix of their universe's original victory theme.
