The Electroshock Arm (豪腕デンショッカー, Strong-Arm Electric Shocker) is Dark Pit's side special move.

Overview

The move is an electrical variant of Pit's Upperdash Arm. The move has exactly the same effects and frame data as Pit's version, having super armor and able to deflect projectiles while active, along with suffering from great ending lag should Dark Pit use the move in midair. However, unlike the Upperdash Arm, the Electroshock Arm throws its target at a 30-40˚ angle instead of vertically. The Electroshock Arm also deals 0.5% more damage, and Dark Pit occasionally blurts "Electroshock!" if the move connects.

Although generally KOing later than Upperdash Arm due to its mainly diagonal knockback, the move can KO opponents much earlier near the sides of the stage as it sends opponents towards the side blast lines, starting at 140%. The move is hence best used against opponents who tend to stray near the edge a lot, and it can be worth the risk using the move offstage as an edgeguard to guarantee an early kill.
