Pokémon

File:Pokemon.jpg

A group of Pokémon in the Super Smash Bros. Melee intro, some of which appear in the game itself.

Pokémon are a non-Mario species, which is currently made up of 493 members, in the Pokémon Series, that each have unique abilities. There are 17 different elemental types of Pokémon; each element affects what the Pokémon's attacks, abilities and weaknesses are. For example, Pikachu, being an Electric Pokémon, specializes in electrical attacks, which can easily defeat Flying and Water Pokémon, but in turn are weak against Grass Pokémon and ineffective 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 can evolve into a Pikachu, and a 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 competitively.

Some select Pokémon have interacted with characters in the Mario series, 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 would have some effect. 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. 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: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: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.
Heracross	File:Trophy254.PNG	Pokémon Gold & Silver 10/00	Heracross are powerful creatures that are known to drive their single horns into the bellies of their foes and then toss them over their heads. The immense power of their Megahorn move is said to be strongest among insectoid Pokémon. They are one of several types of Pokémon that can be found by shaking trees.
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.

File:BrawlGroudon.jpg	Groudon	Overheat	Appears on the battlefield and begins to injure all opponents who touch its flaming body.
	Jirachi	Fly	Jirachi appears and drops stickers down for players to grab. Has a 1 in 493 chance of appearing.
File:BrawlDeoxys.jpg	Deoxys	Hyper Beam	Flies into the sky, and uses Hyper Beam, which shoots an incredibly powerful beam of light directly downwards onto the field.
File:Piplup.jpg	Piplup	Surf	Piplup slides across the ground on a wave of water, washing away anyone it hits. Works better on simplistic stages, as the players caught in the wave have less blockades to use as an escape.
File:BrawlBonsly.jpg	Bonsly	Iron Defence	Bonsly is very heavy, and can only be carried around with ease when held by strong characters. When tossed, it doesn't fly far, but can deal damage exceeding 30%, and knockback comparable to a Homerun Bat. However, Bonsly can be deflected. It can be used by players who did not summon it.
	Munchlax	Pickup	Munchlax walks around slowly, and eats any item it comes across, excluding Poké Balls.
	Weavile	False Swipe	Weavile performs False Swipe. It attacks foes by dashing and stunning them, giving them the same effect as a shield break. However, if the player is hit while in the air by Weavile (even though he stays on the ground), the player goes flying straight up.
File:BrawlManaphy.jpg	Manaphy	Heart Swap	Manaphy is very rare. Manaphy switches the bodies of two fighters. 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.

Name	Image	Appearance(s)	Description
Bulbasaur		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Seed Pokémon. From birth, Bulbasaur carries a large plant seed on its back. It uses the nutrients from the seed to grow bigger and bigger. Extended exposure to the sun will cause its body and seed to grow in size. Some say that once, when the seed was much lighter, Bulbasaur was able to get around on two legs. Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur.
Ivysaur	File:TrIvysaur.jpg	Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Seed Pokémon that is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. It has a flower bulb on its back, the weight of which has made it develop strong legs and hips. If the blossom gets too big, the Pokémon can't stand on two legs alone. At a certain level, it evolves into Venusaur. When this happens, the bulb absorbs nutrients and blossoms into a large-petaled flower.
Charmander		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Lizard Pokémon. It just downright likes hot stuff. The always-burning tail indicates its mood--waving gently when content and burning intensely when angry. If the tail were to go out, it would be the end of Charmander's life. Its tail is believed to emit steam when it rains. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon by leveling up.
Charizard	File:TrCharizard.jpg	Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Flame Pokémon. Its fiery breath is hot enough to burn up rocks, and its wings let it fly up to 4,600 feet into the air. It's a proud Pokémon that will never use its flame breath on an opponent weaker than itself. The flame on its tail is a barometer of how much vitality it has remaining. Its signature move, Flamethrower, is a reliable technique.
Squirtle	File:TrSquirtle.jpg	Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Tiny Turtle Pokémon. In times of danger, it pulls its arms and legs inside its shell to protect itself from enemy attacks. When it conceals its neck, it also shoots a powerful stream of water from its mouth. Its shell not only protects its body, it also reduces water friction when it's in the water. When it levels up, it evolves into Wartortle.
Pikachu	File:TrPikachu.jpg	Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's sleeping. It evolves into Raichu.
Pikachu (Final Smash)	File:TrVolt tackle.jpg		Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you.
Jigglypuff	File:TrJigglypuff.jpg	Pokémon Red and Blue 1998	A Balloon Pokémon. It invites opponents in close with its big, round eyes, then puts them to sleep with a calming song. The secret to the song's unfailing efficacy is Jigglypuff's ability to sing on the wavelength that will make its opponent the sleepiest. It also uses Attract to infatuate opponents who touch it. It uses a Moon Stone to evolve into Wigglytuff.
Jigglypuff (Final Smash)	File:TrPuff up.jpg		Jigglypuff's Final Smash. It wills its body to get bigger and bigger and bigger. It can't move, and it can't attack--all it can do is get bigger while everyone else looks on. However, it's invulnerable, and it overpowers all attacks to gradually push its opponents off the screen. It's a very simple technique, but how it's used determines its effectiveness.
Dugtrio		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Mole Pokémon. It has three heads that seem to all think the same thing. It lives in caves and is skilled at digging--no matter how hard the ground is, it can dig up to 62 miles below the surface. It's among the fastest of Ground-type Pokémon, a characteristic that can be counted on in combat. Its Sand Tomb is an effective attack that prevents opponents from escaping.
Meowth		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Scratch Cat Pokémon. It's one of the most famous Pokémon and very fond of things that glitter--the gold medallion on its head could be seen as an indicator of this infatuation. There are many Pokémon that resemble cats, but Meowth is the only one that can use Pay Day to receive coins at the end of battle. It evolves into Persian.
Electrode		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity it stores in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is that the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in include Selfdestruct and Explosion. Its love of electricity often causes it to gather in groups near power plants.
Cubone		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Lonely Pokémon. It wears its mother's skull as a helmet--for this reason, no one has ever seen its face. It sometimes sees its departed mother's face in the full moon, which causes it to grow sad and cry. The stains on the skull are tracks of its tears. When it cries, the skull shakes and emits a mournful sound. When it levels up, it evolves into Marowak.
Goldeen		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Goldfish Pokémon. In contrast to its elegant appearance, it has a wild temperament, and its attack with its horn is severe. Among the techniques it can master, Horn Drill is especially reliable. It evolves into Seaking, but if it's raised without evolving, it can learn the powerful Bug-type move Megahorn. There are male and female Goldeen--the male's horn is longer.
Staryu		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Star Shape Pokémon. It gathers in groups and flashes the red jewel in the center of its body in time to the twinkling of the stars in the night sky. If it loses appendages, it can regenerate them right away. It can also use Camouflage, which allows it to change its type to match the surrounding terrain. If a Water Stone is used on it, it evolves into Starmie.
Gyarados		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	An Atrocious Pokémon rarely seen in the wild. When it does appear, it's usually running rampant in a destructive rage--behavior that has the unfortunate side effect of leaving whole cities in ruin. It is said that when humans begin a conflict, Gyarados incinerates the towns of both warring parties. There are records of a Gyarados rampage lasting as long as a month.
Snorlax		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top of its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging Snore attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon.
Moltres		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging Sky Attack.
Mewtwo		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic-type attacks.
Mew		Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A New Species Pokémon. An extremely rare Pokémon that contains the DNA of all other Pokémon, it is thought by many scholars to be a Pokémon ancestor, considering the wide range of moves it can use. On top of being able to make itself invisible, Mew can also transform into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way.
Chickorita		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Leaf Pokémon. It loves sunbathing and can use the leaf on its head to check the temperature and humidity around it. Chikorita releases a sweet aroma from its leaf to becalm opponents into a slumber. It can also learn moves to help recover all Pokémon allies. Chikorita evolves into Bayleef by leveling up.
Cyndaquil		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable.
Totodile		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Big Jaw Pokémon. This alligator-like Pokémon stands on two legs. It has a small body but an impressive jaw that boasts potent bite power. It can do serious damage to someone even if it's just playing. Its tendency to chomp down on anything that moves in front of it means Trainers have to be extra cautious around it. When it levels up, it evolves into Croconaw.
Pichu		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Tiny Mouse Pokémon. Because its electric cheek pouches are still small, it cannot store electricity yet. Pichu has been known to flaunt its courage by touching tails with others and setting off sparks. It is easier for Pichu to build up electricity when the humidity is lower. Pichu will evolve into Pikachu.
Togepi		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Spike Ball Pokémon. It's said that its shell is filled with joy, and a proverb asserts that if you can get a sleeping Togepi to stand up, you will gain happiness. Togepi can lower its opponent's attack power using Charm. Once it has become friends with its Trainer, Togepi evolves into Togetic.
Bellossom		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Flower Pokémon. After spells of cloudy weather, Bellossom will gather to call out the sun by performing a dance. When exposed long enough to the sun, the leaves on its body will spin around. A Bellossom's Speed is also known to increase with sun exposure. Its main specialty is poison attacks. Also, Bellossom will close its flowers when sleeping.
Hoppip		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Cottonweed Pokémon. Its adorable appearance has captured the hearts of many fans. It's 1'04" in height, which is the same as Pikachu, but it's incredibly light, weighing only 1.1 pounds. Because it's so light, it often huddles with other Hoppip to keep itself from being blown away by strong winds. It evolves into Skiploom.
Wobbuffet		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Patient Pokémon. A nocturnal, cave-dwelling creature, Wobbuffet is calm and collected, but it will fight back viciously if its black tail is attacked--this hints at something secretive about its tail. If Wobbuffet is put into battle, the opponent cannot run away or switch. Females have lipsticklike markings around their mouths.
Skarmory		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	An Armor Bird Pokémon with a steel-hard body and wings. It flies at speeds up to 186 miles per hour and slices enemies with sharp steel wings that grow dull over time. It grows new wings once a year, which regain their original sharpness. It's said that people used to use fallen wings for swords and knives. It can fly so quickly and freely because it has light, hollow bones.
Entei		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Volcano Pokémon. When Entei barks, a volcano erupts, and it's said that a new Entei is born every time a volcano appears. A proverb claims that the warmth of summer is created by Entei racing through the clouds. Entei uses Fire Spin, a flaming vortex that traps and damages foes for multiple turns.
Suicune		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	An Aurora Pokémon. It has the power to instantly purify even the filthiest water. Suicune is said to be the reincarnation of the northern wind, so when it shows up, so does that wind. Suicune uses the move Aurora Beam--aurora light focused into a powerful beam. Along with inflicting damage, this attack also lowers the target's attack power.
Lugia		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as "guardian of the seas," it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot.
Ho-Oh		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Rainbow Pokémon. On sparkling wings of seven colors, Ho-Oh leaves a rainbow behind as it flies. Legend says that Ho-Oh suppressed a war that scorched the land in ancient times. Its attack Sacred Fire can melt ice in an instant and also damage the target with burns. Ho-Oh will show its solemn figure only for the most righteous Trainers.
Celebi		Pokémon Gold & Silver 2000	A Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi can travel throughout time and inhabit multiple places simultaneously. It is said that it appears only during times of peace, greeted by a flourishing of grass and trees. Two turns after Celebi uses its Future Sight move, the foe is bombarded with psychic energy. This proves to have a devastating impact on any Pokémon.
Treecko		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Wood Gecko Pokémon. It's a calm and cool creature that is not easily upset. It's also bold enough to stare down Pokémon larger than itself. It makes its home in large trees in forests, and its habit of fiercely defending its territory has some people calling it the "protector of the forest." It uses its thick tail to attack. When it levels up, it evolves into Grovyle.
Torchic		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Chick Pokémon. It's a Fire type that has a flame sac in its belly where it produces fireballs reaching 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit--it shoots these out of its mouth. While Torchic is as cute as can be, it will evolve into the powerful Combusken when it levels up. It also then becomes a combination Fighting and Fire type.
Blaziken		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Blaze Pokémon. When up against a tough opponent, it fights a spirited battle and shoots white-hot flames from its wrists. The stronger the foe, the more intense the flames from its wrists. Blaziken also uses a combination of punches and kicks to leave targets in scorched ruin, and its strong legs allow it to easily leap over 30-story buildings.
Mudkip		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Mud Fish Pokémon. It has fins on its head and tail. The fin on its head acts like a radar dish to read its surroundings, and its tail fin increases its swimming speed. The gills on its cheeks allow it to move about in water. It's very strong for its size--it can even lift big boulders. It burrows into muddy watersides to sleep. Mudkip evolves into Marshtomp.
Gardevoir		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	An Embrace Pokémon. Despite its elegant, feminine appearance, there are both male and female Gardevoir. A Psychic type, it has the ability to predict the future and levitate. It's a brave Pokémon that will risk its own life to protect its Trainer. It uses the ability Synchronize to pass on status problems like poison, paralysis, and burn to its foes.
Plusle & Minun		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	Cheering Pokémon. Plusle and Minun produce positive and negative energy, respectively. They both love cheering on their partners and place the encouragement of their partners over their own safety. To cheer, they short their electric currents to produce sparks that grow in intensity as their partners get into trouble.
Gulpin		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a loveable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve whatever it eats. As it matures, it can learn Wring Out, which is as strong as the remaining strength of the opponent Pokémon. It evolves into Swalot.
Snorunt		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Snow Hat Pokémon. It usually moves about in groups of around five. According to folklore, "Snorunt seen at night herald deep snow the next day," and "homes in which Snorunt reside are sure to prosper." In reality, however, the truth behind Snorunt tales lies in mystery. Male Snorunt evolve into Glalie, while females given a Dawn Stone evolve into Froslass.
Metagross		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into a Metang. In the same way, a Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have intelligence that can match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float.
Latios & Latias		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak to companions. They travel in herds, but even so, they are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon and Psychic types.
Kyogre		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Sea Basin Pokémon. It brought about heavy rains, which formed seas and relieved droughts. It is usually found slumbering at the bottom of an ocean trench. Its attack Sheer Cold is a technique so powerful, it causes any opponent it strikes to faint instantly. In battle, it causes clouds to form and drenches the area in rain. It once fiercely battled Groudon.
Groudon		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought about droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses Earthquake to shake the ground and mow down enemies. In battle, summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with Kyogre.
Rayquaza		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when Groudon and Kyogre began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability Air Lock, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.
Jirachi		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A Wish Pokémon. It's said to awaken for seven days once every thousand years, with the ability to grant any wish asked of it. It is truly a Pokémon of which dreams are made. In combat it uses its wish power to attack. Its attack Doom Desire, which causes light to rain down from the heavens to do tremendous damage, is especially powerful.
Deoxys		Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 2003	A DNA Pokémon born through the mutation of the DNA of a space virus. It has multiple formes, and the abilities it possesses and the techniques it can remember change from form to form. It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in Veilstone City.
Turtwig		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Tiny Leaf Pokémon. Despite its animal appearance, Turtwig actually has vegetation sprouting from its head. The shell on its back is made of soil and hardens when it drinks water. Much like a plant, Turtwig performs photosynthesis, absorbing sunlight and making oxygen. It also relies heavily on water to keep its plant healthy and thus spends a lot of time near lakes.
Chimchar		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Chimp Pokémon. With a flaming tail, Chimchar is skilled in Fire-type moves. Its light body affords it the ability to scale steep cliffs and live atop rocky mountains. Some say that the fiery tail is fueled by gas made in its stomach. Not even rain can put out the flames, but Chimchar always puts out the fire when asleep. Chimchar evolves into Monferno.
Piplup	File:Piplup2.jpg	Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region. It's a Water type, so it's strong versus Rock and Ground types. It's very cute but filled with pride-- it hates to accept food from people. When it levels up, it evolves into Prinplup.
Starly		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Starling Pokémon. It usually lives and travels in large flocks, so a single Starly will go unnoticed. To make up for this, its call is very noisy. It can often be found in places with heavy vegetation. Its small frame and cute appearance belie the incredible power with which it flaps its wings. When it levels up, it evolves into Staravia.
Drifloon		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Balloon Pokémon that appears each Friday at the Valley Windworks in the Sinnoh region. It's round and cute, but it has a dreadful side too, as it attempts to drag children into the underworld by their hands. It likes damp, humid seasons. If it's on the verge of fainting in battle, it will counterattack by self-destructing. It evolves into Drifblim.
Buneary		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Rabbit Pokémon. It rolls up its long ears, then unrolls them with great force to slap enemies. This attack stings enough to make adults jump. It uses its ears not only to attack, but also to sense danger--they stand straight up when it senses a threat. Its fluffy fur lets it sleep in warmth and comfort on cold nights. When it levels up, it evolves into Lopunny.
Bonsly	File:Bonsly.jpg	Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Bonsai Pokémon. It looks like a plant, but its history reveals it is actually a Rock type. Its best move among all its specialty moves is Fake Tears. As it grows, it will become skilled at using Mimic, which allows it to copy an opponent's previous move. If it levels up under certain conditions, it evolves into Sudowoodo.
Munchlax	File:Munchlax.jpg	Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it spots food, it moves surprisingly fast. It's native to the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it's attached to its Trainer, it will level up and evolve into Snorlax.
Riolu		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	An Emanation Pokémon. It constantly emits Aura energy. When it's frightened or sad, this energy grows stronger and informs its companions of its situation. It's known for its very flexible yet surpassingly powerful body. Thanks to its strength, it can crest three mountains and cross two canyons in a single night. When it levels up, it evolves into Lucario.
Lucario	File:TrLucario.jpg	Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	An Aura Pokémon. It can track energy called Aura, which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both Fighting- and Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day if its happiness has reached a certain point. It specializes in attacks that use Aura energy, like Dark Pulse and a can't-miss technique, Aura Sphere.
Lucario (Final Smash)	File:TrAura storm.jpg		Lucario's Final Smash. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. He then uses Focus Blast against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must to sweep slowly left and right to hit selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.
Snover		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Frost Tree Pokémon. It lives in snowy mountains and resembles a wintry peak. In the spring it grows berries that resemble ice candies. In battle it causes a storm to appear, hides itself in fog, and then creates and launches a ball of ice as a preemptive strike. It evolves into Abomasnow.
Weavile		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Sharp Claw Pokémon. The crown on its head resembles a fully opened folding fan. Its sharp, hooked claws and outstanding speed are its most memorable features. It's one Pokémon that can be expected to perform well on the front lines of battle. There are many Trainers who teach it the TM False Swipe and travel with it to catch rare Pokémon.
Magnezone		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Magnet Area Pokémon. It's a Magneton that evolved in a special magnetic field at Mt. Coronet. Its appearance is quite different after it evolves, but it still has three round eyes. Its shape changes but not its type--it's still both an Electric and Steel type. It learns Magnet Rise, a technique that temporarily nullifies Ground-type attacks, a traditional weakness.
Electivire		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Thunderbolt Pokémon that attacks by pressing its two tails against a foe and delivering a shock of over 20,000 volts. When hit with an Electric-type attack, it takes no damage, and its Speed increases. Electabuzz evolves into Electivire if you trade it while it's holding an Electirizer. Electivire is famed for having the strongest physical attacks of Electric-type Pokémon.
Glaceon & Leafeon		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Fresh Snow Pokémon and a Verdant Pokémon. They are both evolutions of Eevee. Eevee can evolve into seven different Pokémon depending on what it has in its possession and where it is when it evolves. Glaceon is an Ice type and can freeze all the fur on its body into protective quills. Leafeon is a Grass type, and the air around it is always fresh and clean.
Uxie		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Knowledge Pokémon. It's said that Uxie's emergence gave humans the wisdom to improve their lives. This Pokémon possesses the ability to erase the memory of those who see its eyes. Uxie uses status-altering moves in battle--its frequent use of Yawn is very effective in putting foes to sleep. Uxie makes its home in Lake Acuity in the Sinnoh region.
Mesprit		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	An Emotion Pokémon said to have taught humans emotions. Rumor is, if you touch Mesprit, you'll lose all emotions three days later. It sleeps at the base of Lake Verity, but once engaged in battle, it will rise from the water to fly around the Sinnoh region. Even if you see this Pokémon after your initial meeting, it'll try to flee battle, so catching it is quite a task.
Azelf		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Willpower Pokémon. Born from the same Egg as Uxie and Mesprit, this Pokémon maintains the balance of things in the world from the bottom of Lake Valor. Some say that anyone who injures it will become unable to perform any kind of action after seven days. It wields many strong attacks, like the devastating Last Resort. It can also protect itself from sleep attacks with Uproar.
Dialga		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome Roar of Time attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn.
Palkia		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use Spatial Rend to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time.
Cresselia		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Lunar Pokémon. Cresselia appears on Fullmoon Island and, once discovered, flies around different areas of Sinnoh. Its signature move, Lunar Dance, causes Cresselia to faint but recovers all the HP and cures the status conditions of the next Pokémon its Trainer sends out. Cresselia excels at recovery techniques and is unusual in that it appears only in female form.
Manaphy		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Seafaring Pokémon. Eighty percent of its body is made of water. It has the ability Hydration, which allows it to heal status effects at the end of a turn if it's raining. It is the only Pokémon that can use the stat-effect-swapping move called Heart Swap. Place a Manaphy and a Ditto in a Pokémon Day Care, and they will produce an Egg that contains a Phione.
Darkrai		Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 2007	A Pitch-Black Pokémon. It becomes active on nights of the new moon. This legendary Pokémon has the power to lull people to sleep and fill their heads with dreams. Proverbs say that Darkrai will make people have terrifying dreams on moonless nights. A Dark-type Pokémon, Darkrai uses the Dark Void move, along with Embargo, which stops foes from using held items.
Pokémon Trainer	File:TrPokemon trainer.jpg	Pokémon Red & Blue 1998	A person who raises Pokémon and trains them as partners in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives orders to the Pokémon and uses items. It's not an exaggeration to say battles can be won or lost on a Trainer's single strategic move. Trainers pour their hearts into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming Pokémon Masters.
Pokémon Trainer (Final Smash)	File:TrTriple finish.jpg		The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use Hydro Pump, SolarBeam, and Fire Blast. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen, but don't worry about it.

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 had 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. Interestingly, the two latter did not return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
