Spear Pillar

Spear Pillar is an unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, coming from Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, the latest installment of the Pokémon series, at the time. Spear Pillar is unlocked by beating Event Match 25: The Aura is With Me. It is set on a normal platform, but contains a small cave area underneath it, which players can run into. This is to represent the fact that in Diamond and Pearl, the Spear Pillar is reached by climbing through the interior of Mount Coronet, which is a huge mountain.

The stage will randomly have a purple background or a bluish background. Blue means Dialga from the Diamond version will appear, and purple is a warning that Palkia from Pearl will appear on the stage. Less frequently, Cresselia from both versions will appear. During any particular battle, only one of these Pokémon will appear.


 * Dialga's abilities: Fires blue energy beams, uses Roar of Time to make all players move in slow motion for a while, jumps into the stage and damages anyone nearby, tilts the stage at a slight angle, or breaks the middle part of the top level.
 * Palkia's abilities: Fires purple versions of the energy beams used by Dialga, uses Spacial Rend to either reverse the stage from left to right, including the controls, tip the stage upside down, tilt it at a slight angle, break the middle part of the top level, or reduce the gravity, making players float in the air longer than usual by jumping.
 * Cresselia: Shoots a boomerang-like energy blade, which spins around the stage, or uses Psycho Cut (shoots waves straight at the top platform).

Trivia

 * In the Pokémon games, Diamond and Pearl, Cresselia doesn't appear on Spear Pillar. It actually appears on Fullmoon Island, and will roam Sinnoh after it is encountered.
