Splatoon
The Splattershot Pro is an advanced weapon in terms of power and range, making it easy to use for more experienced players. Though it boasts superior range and power when compared to the Splattershot, it is inferior to the Splattershot in turf coverage and fire rate. It comes in a set with the Splat Bombs and Inkstrike.

Splatoon 2
The Splattershot Pro returns in Splatoon 2 looking identical to how it did in the first game. It comes with the Point Sensor and Ink Storm.

Gameplay and tips
The Splattershot pro is a powerful slayer weapon. Its power and accuracy, yet high ink consumption make it tailored to veteran players. It shines in Rainmaker, where pin-point accuracy is great for attacking the enemy carrier and protecting your own. In terms of shortcomings, in Turf Wars it is not a very good idea to use, as ink consumption is too high to be good at turfing. Instead, try to splat the enemy so your allies can turf more quickly.
