Marshadow (マーシャドー Marshadow) is a creature from the Pokémon franchise.
Origin[edit]
Marshadow is a Fighting/Ghost-type Mythical Pokémon that debuted in Generation VII, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #802 as the "Gloomdweller Pokémon". Whenever it attacks, it briefly transforms into its Zenith form, a green-gray version of itself.
Spectral Thief, Marshadow's signature move, is a physical Ghost-type move with 90 power and 100% accuracy which steals the opponent's positive stat changes before dealing damage. The move can be upgraded into the Z-Move Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike if Marshadow holds the Marshadium Z.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
| “ | This Pokémon can hide in the shadows. When it finds its target, it will emerge from the shadows and deal a powerful punch! When there are multiple opponents, it may change its target between punches so you'd better keep an eye out! | ” |

Marshadow makes its debut as a Poké Ball summon. It uses Spectral Thief, where it first attacks from within a shadow, stunning the opponent, then appears next to them and punches them. When it attacks, it assumes its Zenith Form, where its head and neck are green instead of its normal gray.
On most stages, Marshadow has a spawn chance of 12/1463 from Poké Balls and 40/842 from Master Balls. It has a modified spawn weight on the following stages (actual chances may vary based on changes to other Pokémon):
