Zoroark (ゾロアーク, Zoroark) is a Pokémon.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Zoroark appears as a Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon. When summoned Zoroark sneaks behind a fighter, catches them and moves to the top of the scream, attacks with repeated slashes of its claws and finished by slamming its target to the ground. The claw swipes are considered projectiles, so they can be completely negated by a character wearing a Franklin Badge, who will only take damage from the final hit. Overall, the attack is very similar to some Final Smashes like Great Aether and Secret Ninja Attack.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, before being able to appear Zoroark needs to be unlocked by clearing 10-Man Smash at least one time.
Smash Balls will not appear while Zoroark is on the battlefield and vice versa, likely to prevent visual confusion.
Glitch
If Zoroark targets a character protected by a Back Shield the final hit of its attack does not connect, leaving the target spinning until they are hit by an attack: [1].
Trophy information
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Zoroark's trophy is part of the Legend of Pokémon Black & Pokémon White Trophy Box.

Origin
Zoroark is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, and was the very first Generation V Pokémon ever revealed, being a main character in the movie Zoroark: Master of Illusions. It evolves from Zorua starting at level 30. It and Zorua are only available in Black and White by using event Pokémon, though it can be found in the wild in Pokémon X and Y: its original rarity might be the reason for its ability to appear out of a Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. 4. 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.
Fury Swipes is a common physical Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It has 80% accuracy and hits the target 2-5 times with 18 base power for every hit. Zoroark can learn it at level 13 when still a Zorua, or via Move Reminder.
Trivia
- Goldeen and Zoroark are the only Pokémon that can come out of Master Balls that are not Legendary Pokemon.
- Despite it not actually being a Legendary, Zoroark's trophy appears in the Legend of Pokémon Black & Pokémon White Trophy Box.
