Power of Flight

The Power of Flight is Dark Pit's up special move, shared with Pit. It involves him using the limited flight power granted to Pit by Palutena in Kid Icarus: Uprising for the game's flight combat sections, except Dark Pit's is granted by Viridi instead. Upon using Power Flight, Dark Pit briefly charges up and takes off in the direction the player holds the stick in a quick burst of movement.

Dark Pit and Pit also share custom variations of this move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. The first is Striking Flight, which deals slightly more knockback and damage than Pit upon take-off, but can only be used to move at a slight left or right angle. The second variation is Breezy Flight, which does not send Dark Pit as high as the regular move, but is faster to execute and creates a whirlwind when taking off that pushes away opponents.
