Afterwards, she'll jump out of another portal behind a nearby opponent to perform a surprise attack.

Shield Special: Extrasensory
Zoroark uses her anger to conjure an illusion of herself, which charges forward to grab an opponent.
Once the illusion grabs any opponent, it automatically throws them in the direction of their conjurer.
If Extrasensory is used mid-air, once the illusion grabs any opponent, it slams them onto the ground.
(Origin: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire)

Upon contact with the stage, the sphere of dark energy becomes an expanding black hole which deals multihit damage.
