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, specifically Greninja's. 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.
Origin
Zoroark is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, when it was available either from trading or special events. In Generation VI, 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 keeping their moveset and typing. Getting hit by any attack will cause the illusion to fade completely. Zoroark can learn Fury Swipes at level 13 as 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.
- Smash Balls will not appear while Zoroark is on the battlefield and vise versa, possibly due to Greninja's Final Smash being identical to Zoroark's Fury Swipes, as having both moves occurring at the same time could potentially be confusing.
- 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXAfWX2HKK8
