Pokémon

Pokémon are a group of species with at least 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 weaknessess 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 chracters 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, Wobuffet and Clefairy (when using Electrode's move)
