Shadow Ball (Japanese: シャドーボール Shadow Ball) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move first introduced in the movie Mewtwo Strikes Back. It was first introduced as a usable attack in the Generation II video games.

Effect

Shadow Ball deals damage and has a 20% chance of lowering the target's Special Defense.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Shadow Ball is Mewtwo's standard special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is chargeable and moves in a zigzag. Lucario, who debuted in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, has Aura Sphere, which functions similarly.
