Shadow Ball is a Ghost-type attack in the ''Pokémon'' games first introduced in the movie ''[[bulbapedia:M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and introduced as a usable attack in the Generation II video games. It is learned by many Ghost-type Pokémon at somewhat high levels; since it is also a Technical Machine, many Pokémon of other types can also learn Shadow Ball. While Mewtwo is not capable of learning Shadow Ball naturally, it can learn it via TM30 in Generation II and future generations. The {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|original series}} seen in the ''Pokémon'' anime debuted the move in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''.

In battle, Shadow Ball is a strong attack that was a physical attack in Generations II and III, but special in Generation IV onwards.

Much like several Pokémon as aforementioned, [[Lucario]] is on the list as one of the many who can learn the move through TM, which also coincidentally ties into both it and Mewtwo being able to learn [[Aura Sphere]] through leveling up as well, though the latter only learns it at a near-max level.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations:
{{CustomSet/Single|Mewtwo|name=Shadow Ball|desc=Fire an energy projectile. Charging it for longer increases destructive power but also recoil.}}
# '''Shadow Ball''': Default.
Mewtwo currently has no custom variations available.
