TheSuction Shot is a move introduced inLuigi's Mansion 3. AfterLuigi puts on thePoltergust G-00, if the player holds down and releasesY Button, he will shoot out a suction cup with a long string attached, similar to a plunger. If the suction cup sticks to an object, Luigi can use the Poltergust G-00 to yank the string and then pressA Button to smash the object onto the ground, similarly to slamming ghosts. This move is especially useful for destroying furniture, pulling weapons away from ghosts, and uncovering hiddengems. After finding all gems, the Suction Shot Type B becomes available and can be turned on or off at any time while in E. Gadd's lab. It is only aesthetic, turning the plunger into a diamond plunger. It can also be used against ghosts, which causes them to get their face stuck in the suction cup. Afterwards, by yanking the string and pressingA Button, it will cause the ghost to get dizzy, allowing Luigi to suck them up much more easily. The Suction Shot can stick toGoobs,Oozers, andSlinkers, but it does not work againstHammers orTrappers.

Prior toLuigi's Mansion 3, the Suction Shot first appeared inSimon andRichter's debut trailer forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, where Luigi used it in a futile attempt at defending himself from a pair ofmummies, only managing to stun one for a couple of seconds at most upon hitting it in the face before causing it to charge at Luigi full speed. In-game, it functions as his grab, having longer range than Luigi's original grab from past installments.

An unlockable add-on called theSuction Shot Type-C can be unlocked by collecting all theGems in the game.
