Pokémon
Pokémon are a group of species with currently 493 members in the Pokémon Series that have unique abilities. There are different elemental types of Pokémon, each element affects what the Pokémon's attacks, abilities and weaknesses are. For example, Pikachu being an Electric Pokémon can use electrical attacks and is weak against Ground Pokémon. Another factor that separates Pokémon from traditional animals is that after meeting certain conditions, the Pokémon evolves into a new Pokémon. For example, Pichu evolves into Pikachu. Pokémon live in the wild, but are caught by Pokémon Trainers to have as pets or battle with other Pokémon for sport.
Some select Pokémon have interacted with characters in the Marioverse, most notably in the Super Smash Bros. competitions. Not only were some competitors, but if a player threw a Poké Ball, then a random Pokémon would come out and attack the other players. These Poké Ball Pokémon would not hurt the player who sent them out, except for Electrode, Wobbuffet and Clefairy (when using Electrode's move).

Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros.
Name | Attack | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
Charizard | Flamethrower | Charizard uses Flamethrower to breathe fire alternatively left to right, but stays in one place. Good to provide cover and protection to one who released it. | |
Blastoise | Hydro Pump | Blastoise uses Hydro Pump and shoots many high pressured shots for water at foes. Best used near a ledge to stop foes from getting back on the stage. | |
Beedrill | Pin Needle | Beedrill uses Pin Needle to summon its friends and rush through a certain direction causing damage to all that get caught up in the Pin Needle storm. Throwing a foe into the vicinity of the swarm is a good idea. | |
Clefairy | Metronome | Clefairy executes Metronome, which causes it to use a random move used by another Pokémon. Staying near it is not wise, because it may use Explosion, which could hurt the one who released it as well. | |
Meowth | Pay Day | Meowth uses Pay Day and shoots many coins in four different directions. It is advisable that other players run at the sight of Meowth, because it could potentially give more than 100% damage. | |
Onix | Rock Throw | Onix flies up in the air and uses Rock Throw to drop many boulders in one area. The player should throw an opponent in this area to get him or her trapped in this area. | |
Hitmonlee | Hi Jump Kick | Hitmonlee jumps in the air an uses Hi Jump Kick to knockout or give heavy damage to the closest foe near its release. If possible, it should be released in the center of the stage. | |
Koffing | Poison Gas | Koffing uses Poison Gas and floats in the air awaiting a player to fall in its smoke attack. That player is then stuck in Koffing's Poison Gas until it dissapears. | |
Chansey | Softboiled | Chansey uses Softboiled to dispense eggs that contain various items. However, some eggs are explosive and some eggs can heal the player who picked it up. | |
Goldeen | Splash | Goldeen flails around on dry land and uses Splash. Unfortunately, this attack does nothing. | |
Starmie | Swift | Starmie positions itself to the nearest foe and uses Swift. However, it will not pursue the foes after it starts using Swift. | |
Snorlax | Body Slam | Snorlax flies up off-screen and comes back down even bigger using Body Slam. Players should be alerted at the sound of its cry and move out of the way. | |
Mew | --- | Mew appears out of the Pokéball and cries "Mew!", then drits off into the sky. It does not aid the person who released it in battle, but it does give him or her bonus points at the end of the match. |

Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee

Cyndaquil | Flamethrower | Shoots out flames. Similiar to Charizard, but only does it in one direction. | |
Togepi | Metronome | Uses a random attack, but these attacks are unique to Togepi. Magnitude makes foes go into the ground, like Headbutt. Sing makes enemies fall asleep. Leech Seed puts Flowers on top of the characters' heads, like Lip's Stick. Rarely, it uses Night Shade, which makes the screen slowly become black for a few seconds. | |
Bellossom | Sleep Powder | Makes opponent close to it fall asleep. Can sometimes cause small damage. | |
Marill | Rollout | Charges at opponent, pushing them backward. Can hit multiple times. | |
Unown | Hidden Power | Leaves screen only to return with many Unown charging in a random direction. | |
Wobbuffet | Counter | Counters all attacks, wobbling back on forth as it does so. The faster the wobble, the more damage it will do. Can hurt player that released it. | |
Scizor | Fury Cutter | Runs in one direction after an opponent. After a certain time, it will jump either in the same direction, or the other direction before falling offscreen. | |
Porygon2 | Tackle | Immediately charges out a few feet before disappearing, if it hits someone immediately as it comes out, they almost always get KOed. | |

Celebi | --- | Floats up to the sky. Player receives 8,000 extra points at the end of the match. According to the trophy, it has a 1 in 251 chance of appearing, like Mew. | |
Ditto | Transform | While Ditto never appeared in the final game, all the information needed for him to appear remains in the game disk. Some Players who have activated this code through an Action Replay device report that Ditto turns into a copy of a random Pokémon and uses its attack. Why he was removed is unknown. However, others claim he simply vanishes and speculate that he was meant to turn into a second copy of the character that threw the ball, and was scrapped in favor or due to complications with the Ice Climbers. |

Trivia
- All of the Pokémon that appear in Pokéballs in Super Smash Bros. Melee are based on their design from Pokémon Stadium 2.
- Pokémon was one of the two series from the original Super Smash Bros., that were not included in Nintendo Monopoly. The other is the Earthbound series.
- In the opening cinema of Super Smash Bros. Melee, several Pokémon appear at the same time. Oddly, many of them do not appear in Pokéballs, nor do they have trophies. Also, Psyduck and Lickitung appear in Poké Floats, who are just like the aformentioned Pokémon.
- Additionally, Jigglypuff and Pichu appear in the Pokémon shot in the opening, despite being secret characters. This "honor" is shared with Ganondorf, whose arm appears in the opening sequence.
- Of all Nintendo series put into Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pokémon had the most unlockables: Jigglypuff, Pichu, and Mewtwo.
