Pokémon

File:Pokemon.jpg

A group of Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee, which includes Pokémon not seen later in the game.

Pokémon are a group of species, which is currently made up of 493 members, in the Pokémon Series, that each 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, which are in turn 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, a Pichu has the ability to evolve into a Pikachu, and the Pikachu can then later evolve into its final form Raichu. Pokémon live in the wild, but are caught by Pokémon Trainers to have as pets or to 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.

File:Beedrill.PNG	Beedrill	Pin Missile	Beedrill uses Pin Missile to summon its friends and rush through a certain direction causing damage to all that get caught up in the Pin Missile storm. Throwing a foe into the vicinity of the swarm is a good idea.
File:Clefairyssb.PNG	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.
File:Meowth.PNG	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.
File:Onix.PNG	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.
File:Hitmonlee.PNG	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.

File:Goldeenssb.PNG	Goldeen	Splash	Goldeen flails around on dry land and uses Splash. Unfortunately, this attack does nothing.
File:Starmiessb.PNG	Starmie	Swift	Starmie positions itself to the nearest foe and uses Swift. However, it will not pursue the foes after it starts using Swift.
File:Snorlaxssb.PNG	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.
File:Mewssb.PNG	Mew	---	Mew appears out of the Pokéball and cries "Mew!", then drifts 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

	Name	Attack	Description
File:Venusaur.PNG	Venusaur	Earthquake	Venusaur rumbles the ground to cause an Earthquake, damaging anyone in its vicinity. It is good to provide some defensive cover for the player who released it. Unlike the Venusaur from the original, this Venusaur doesn't use Razor Leaf.
File:Charizard.PNG	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. This Charizard is relatively unchanged from the one in the original.
File:Blastoise.PNG	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. Unlike the Blastoise in the original, this one moves back a few feet after each blast.
File:Ssbmitemspokeclefairy.jpg	Clefairy	Metronome	Uses Metronome. All moves performed are exclusive to Clefairy. Explosion hits anyone in the blast radius. Blizzard makes a vertical ice pillar appear and hit foes. Fire Spin creates a horizontal fire which hits enemies.
File:Electrode.PNG	Electrode	Explosion	Explodes. Can damage player who released it. When it is hit with attacks, the player can pick it up and throw it.

File:Goldeen.PNG	Goldeen	Splash	Uses Splash, a move which does nothing.
File:Staryu.PNG	Staryu	Swift	Shoots stars after homing in on a target. Before it attacks, if the target moves, it will keep firing in the original position.
File:Snorlax.PNG	Snorlax	Body Slam	Jumps out of screen only to come back down bigger attempting to crush opponents.

File:Chikorita.PNG	Chikorita	Razor Leaf	Uses Razor Leaf, an attack that sends out leaves in a shuriken-like fashion.
File:Cyndaquil.PNG	Cyndaquil	Flamethrower	Shoots out flames. Similar to Charizard, but only does it in one direction.
File:Togepi.PNG	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.
File:Bellossom.PNG	Bellossom	Sleep Powder	Makes opponent close to it fall asleep. Can sometimes cause small damage.
File:Marill.PNG	Marill	Rollout	Charges at opponent, pushing them backward. Can hit multiple times.
File:Unown.PNG	Unown	Hidden Power	Leaves screen only to return with many Unown charging in a random direction.

File:Porygon2.PNG	Porygon2	Tackle	Immediately charges out a few feet before disappearing, if it hits someone immediately as it comes out, they almost always get KO'd.
File:Raikou.PNG	Raikou	Spark	Makes a big electric circle around Raikou that does a lot of damage to anyone touching the ground inside the circle.

File:Lugia.PNG	Lugia	Aeroblast	Goes into the background to make a huge moving whirlpool in the air that does massive damage.
File:Ho-oh.PNG	Ho-oh	Sacred Fire	Goes into the background to make a huge vertical pillar of fire that appears where it was called from. Like Entei's attack, only does a massive amount of damage and the attack radius is much bigger.
File:Celebi.PNG	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.
File:Ditto.PNG	Ditto	Transform	While Ditto never appeared in the final game, all the information needed for him to appear remains in the game disk. With the use of Action replay players can make Ditto appear out of a Pokéball. However, he simply says his name in Japanese and disappears, damaging any player who touches him. He was taken out of the final version due to causing lag with the Ice Climbers.

Trophy Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee

Name	Image	First Game / Move	Description
Venusaur	File:Trophy121.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its Solarbeam move. Think of Grass- and Poison-type Pokémon and Venusaur comes first.
Charizard	File:Trophy122.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	It's hard to believe, but this massive flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but it's flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.
Squirtle	File:Trophy123.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.
Blastoise	File:Trophy124.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating. When in danger, they hide inside their armored shells. Blastoise is so popular among trainers that it's considered the definitive Water-type.
Pikachu	File:Trophy22.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.
Pikachu [Smash]	File:Trophy23.PNG	B: Thunder Jolt Smash B: Skull Bash	While its electrical attacks, such as Thunder and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional Quick Attack, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up Skull Bash.
Pikachu [Smash]	File:Trophy24.PNG	Up & B: Quick Attack Down & B: Thunder	The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.
Jigglypuff	File:Trophy49.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	This balloon Pokémon invites its opponents in close with its big, round eyes and then puts them to sleep with a soothing lullaby. It puffs itself up when angry, and while it may look adorable, it's not to be trifled with; it knows several powerful techniques. Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff after exposure to a Moon Stone.
Jigglypuff [Smash]	File:Trophy50.PNG	B: Rollout Smash B: Pound	Jigglypuff's normal attacks are weak, and because of its light weight it's easily sent flying. However, with its incredible midair agility, it seems to dance when airborne. Rollout is a powerful speed attack, but be careful not to fly off the edge. Pound does serious damage, and it can also help as a recovery move.
Jigglypuff [Smash]	File:Trophy51.PNG	Up & B: Sing Down & B: Rest	Jigglypuff can put its enemies to sleep if they are in range of its Sing attack, although the attack does not work on airborne foes. Rest puts Jigglypuff into a deep sleep, but at the instant it drops off, an intense energy force radiates out of the exact center of its body. If this force comes in contact with an enemy, look out! Rest is Jigglypuff's wild card.
Clefairy	File:Trophy125.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Clefairy are very cute Pokémon, which makes them popular pets. However, as they're only found in a few areas, it takes a lot of work to find one. Strangely enough, legend has it that Clefairy are more active during the full moon. These Pokémon are known to use Metronome, a move that unleashes a randomly selected attack.
Electrode	File:Trophy126.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Electrode, an electric ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinct white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.
Weezing	File:Trophy127.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	The evolved form of Koffing. Weezing is basically a pair of Koffing fused together. They tend to float in the air and emit gas or noxious smoke from the outgrowths that cover their bodies. As strange as it may seem, diluting Weezing emissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man.
Chansey	File:Trophy128.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Renowned for its kind temperament, Chansey has been known to offer injured creatures a highly nutritious egg to aid their recovery. Legend has it that this charitable creature brings happiness to anyone who captures it. All Chansey are female, and every now and then one is found in possession of a Lucky Egg.
Goldeen	File:Trophy129.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	These Water-types are often referred to as "water dancers," as their elegant fins make them incredibly agile underwater. They can even travel upstream in rapids at a speed of five knots; of course they're not quite as nimble on dry land. Goldeen's Horn Drill is so strong that it can KO an enemy with one strike if it connects.
Staryu	File:Trophy130.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	These star-shaped Pokémon that evolve into Starmie are found in large numbers at the seashore. At night, Staryu's red center glows and blinks on and off. It's said that as long as its red center remains, it can regrow its limbs. Whether it's related to Cleffa, another Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped appearance, is unknown.
Snorlax	File:Trophy131.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 880 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.
Articuno	File:Trophy132.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this legendary Pokémon takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include Ice Beam and Blizzard.
Zapdos	File:Trophy133.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Zapdos flaps its wings, and summer storms appear, throwing lightning every which way. It's said that you can hear this legendary Pokémon coming, as its wings make a very distinctive popping sound as it flies. In addition to electrical moves like the dreaded Thunder, it also wields a vicious move called Drill Peck.
Moltres	File:Trophy134.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. Sky Attack, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful Fire-type moves.
Mewtwo	File:Trophy52.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was cloned from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.
Mewtwo [Smash]	File:Trophy53.PNG	B: Shadow Ball Smash B: Confusion	As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. Shadow Ball traces a jagged path once released: the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses Confusion to spin its foes around.
Mewtwo [Smash]	File:Trophy54.PNG	Up & B: Teleport Down & B: Disable	Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. Teleport has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses Disable; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.
Mew	File:Trophy135.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all TMs and HMs. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable.
Chikorita	File:Trophy136.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	Chikorita was one of the first three Pokémon available in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. A Grass-type Pokémon, it emits a delightful fragrance from the leaves on its head and loves to spend its time leisurely sunbathing. When called into battle, it uses its Razor Leaf move to strike at opponents' weak points.
Cyndaquil	File:Trophy137.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of the three Pokémon that trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open.
Pichu	File:Trophy73.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	A baby Electric-type Pokémon identifiable by its big ears. Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.
Pichu [Smash]	File:Trophy74.PNG	B: Thunder Jolt Smash B: Skull Bash	Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances.
Pichu [Smash]	File:Trophy75.PNG	Up & B: Agility Down & B: Thunder	Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee., and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move.
Togepi	File:Trophy138.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	These adorable spike-shelled Pokémon hatch from eggs given out by Professor Elm's assistant. Common superstition holds that their shells are chock-full of happiness and that they become good-luck charms when handled with kindness. It's impossible to predict which ability a Togepi will call upon when it uses its Metronome move, so you'd better be ready.
Bellossom	File:Trophy139.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a Sun Stone.
Marill	File:Trophy140.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	This water-mouse Pokémon evolves into Azumarill. The round ball on the end of its tail acts like a flotation device, so it can float safely in the roughest of water conditions. It resides on Mt. Mortar in seclusion; few of the creatures are ever seen. Marill's cuteness has earned it a large and loyal fan base.
Sudowoodo	File:Trophy141.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	A copycat Pokémon with an aversion to battle, Sudowoodo always poses as a tree in order to avoid being attacked. Despite their arboreal appearance, these Pokémon are actually Rock-types, and therefore highly vulnerable to water. When it begins to rain, they vanish. Sudowoodo can be found blocking Route 36 in Johto.
Unown	File:Trophy142.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	These Psychic-type symbol Pokémon resemble ancient hieroglyphics found on rocks, a resemblance that's said to be more than superficial. Quite a few different shapes of Unown have been confirmed, and it's believed that each type has unique abilities. These enigmatic Pokémon can be found in the Ruins of Alph.
Wobbuffet	File:Trophy143.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	A patient Pokémon, Wobbuffet lives in darkness to hide its mismatched black tail. Even for a stoic Pokémon, this creature is a testament to self-control; it will not actively attack an opponent. Its Counter and Mirror Coat moves are solely used for reflecting attacks directly back at its antagonist.
Scizor	File:Trophy144.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	This evolved form of Scyther has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. Its evolution also includes the addition of a tough Metal Coat. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.
Porygon2	File:Trophy145.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	Representing the next step in technological progress, this virtual Pokémon is a higher powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move called Conversion 2 to alter its type.
Raikou	File:Trophy146.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	These violent lightning Pokémon travel near and far, blasting out electrified whirlwinds. They carry storm clouds on their backs so they can produce lightning regardless of the local weather; it's even said that they descended to the earth via lightning bolts. Their extreme quickness lends itself to flight, so they're very hard to capture.
Entei	File:Trophy147.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	A volcanic Fire-type, Entei is hotter than liquid magma and as tough as nails. This powerful creature was one of the three Pokémon running around the Burned Tower of Ecruteak City. Entei is extremely difficult to capture, as it tends to wander all over the landscape, sprouting intense flames from its body.
Suicune	File:Trophy148.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	This mystical aurora Pokémon constantly journeys in search of places with pure flowing water. Suicune wields the power to instantly purify any contaminated water it finds. Some say Suicune is the north wind reborn. Its strange and dramatic story is told over the course of the Crystal version of the Pokémon game.
Lugia	File:Trophy149.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	The waters of the Whirl Islands are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom few have seen. Lugia lives quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive win assault known as Aeroblast.
Ho-oh	File:Trophy150.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	As it soars around the skies of the world, this multicolored flying Pokémon leaves a trail of rainbows and myths in its wake. Its signature move is called Sacred Fire, and it is believed to appear only before trainers who are pure of heart. If you see a trainer with Ho-oh, you can assume that catching it took a lot of work.
Celebi	File:Trophy151.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	Celebi has the power to travel through time, and thus wanders from one age to the next. It is considered a deity by the forests: plants and trees are said to grow in unimaginable abundance wherever Celebi visits. Like Mew, Celebi is a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. Its special techniques blend grass and psychic powers.
Poké Ball	File:Trophy120.PNG	Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98	These balls are used to capture and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be captured, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. Master Balls are the strongest type.

This causes the two players to have to fight as each other for a short while. If a player knocks himself/herself out in their opponents body, the player will be KO'd, not the opponent. The effects are temporary.

Trivia

• All of the Pokémon that appear in Pokéballs in Super Smash Bros. Melee are based on their design in the game 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 being the Earthbound series. A probable reason for not including the Pokémon series is that a Pokémon-themed Monopoly game has already been made.
• 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.
  • Similarly, several Pokémon appear as floats in Poké Floats, who have the same case as the aformentioned Pokémon.
• Jigglypuff and Pichu both make an apperance in the Pokémon shot featured in the cinematic opening, despite that they are secret characters. This "honor" is shared with Ganondorf, whose arm appears in the opening.
• Of all Nintendo series put into Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Pokémon series had the most unlockable playable characters; Jigglypuff, Pichu, and Mewtwo.
