History Characters / PokemonBattleRoyale

* KickTheSonOfABitch: In the Mega Battle Royale, Gengar shoves Gardevoir into a black hole; do note that this is the same Gardevoir that tossed a Gallade trying to protect it from a Garchomp, which it shoved both into the same black hole it created a few seconds ago.

* NoSell: Its Bulletproof prevents it from being harmed by anything.

* SuperSpeed: Every time it bounces, it keeps getting faster and can never be stopped. It happened to it in both the first and Baby Battle Royale, which it bounced all the way into orbit.

* NoSell: Its shield prevents it from being harmed by anything.

* BloodKnight: A given for a battle royale. All of them are quite eager to attack each other the moment the battle begins, with Subversions countable on one hand.

[[folder:Sableye]]
* CreatorsFavorite: Averted. While it is Terminal Montage's favorite Pokémon, it never plays any large roles or gets any special advantages in the Royales. At most, it appears whenever Terminal's AuthorAvatar appears in the videos.
* EatDirtCheap: It loves to eat gems, and when the gem-based Diancie shows up to the battle, it wastes no time hunting it down for a free meal.
* ShoutOut: It's voiced by [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], a fitting choice for a gremlin-shaped critter.

[[folder:Blastoise]]
* AttackAttackAttack: Its entire strategy in every appearance is to roll in with its cannon and blast everything in sight. This works against it in the Starter Battle Royale when it quickly makes enemies of all the water types it ''can't'' hit.
* ButtMonkey: Nothing ever goes right for it in any of its appearances. To date, it has been partially melted alive by Charizard, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled by Mega Aggron]], sunk by Gigantamax Drednaw and later used as a weapon by Gigantamax Machamp and finally [[BoomHeadshot sniped by Inteleon]] alongside Feraligatr.
* DefiantToTheEnd: When impaled through the chest by Aggron, it manages to struggle for a few seconds against the Steel-type before it dies (and even then, it only actually dies when Aggron impales it a ''second'' time).
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Referencing its Pokédex entry regarding saving a ship with its strength, Machamp pulls it out of the water... to then use it as a projectile weapon.
* GunsAreWorthless: In the Mega Battle Royale, Blastoise dramatically rolls onto scene, lowers itself into position, unveils its three cannons... and then fires a WaveMotionGun from its ''forehead'', in a reference to its awkward attack animations in-game prior to ''Scarlet and Violet'''s Indigo Disk DLC. It reprises this in the ''Starter Pokémon Battle Royale'', too.

[[folder:Charizard]]
* AscendedExtra: It appeared in the first battle royale (where it killed Blastoise) and the Mega one, but it's here in the Gigantamax battle that it finally gets a section focused on it.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Subverted, as Greninja banks on its tail-flame being its weak spot, only to find that the CommonKnowledge that a Charizard's tail-flame going out kills it is false, and in fact only angers it.
* CharacterShilling: Lockstin's analysis for both the Mega and the Gigantamax royales discuss this trope. This favoritism is used against it by G-Max Gengar, who uses a LotusEaterMachine illusion of people fawning over it to lure it to its death.
--> ''You're the real mascot. Pikachu is a fake.''
* OneSteveLimit: Averted for the Mega Royale, which features two Charizard, one Mega Y and one Mega X. It's justified compared to Mewtwo, since unlike the latter which is the [[SingleSpecimenSpecies only one of its kind]], Charizard is a species with multiple members.
* ScissorsCutsRock: In the original and Starter Battle Royales, its flames result in the demise of a Water-type starter. In the original, its flames partially melt Blastoise. In the Starter Battle Royale, its flames outright vaporize Greninja. [[spoiler:It's later [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in the Starter Battle Royale, though, as it fails to pull this against the Electric-type Partner Pikachu, who promptly exploits Charizard's Flying-typing to one-shot it with Thunderbolt.]]

[[folder:Gardevoir]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: Gardevoirs are normally empathetic and kind Pokémon in the source material, but here it is far more ruthless. Its response to Gallade trying to defend it from Garchomp is to toss ''both'' of them into a black hole.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: It gets dragged into its own black hole by Gengar.
* LaserGuidedKarma: It callously tosses Gallade into a black hole along with Garchomp. It gets dragged into it by Gengar a few seconds later.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: It levels an entire city block, and kills all of the Pokémon in it, by spamming black holes everywhere, though Dusclops ends up eating both it and the black holes made.
* OhCrap: Has quite the moment when it finds itself unable to dismiss the black hole it created [[FromBadToWorse and then realizes that Gengar is inside]].
* OnlySaneWoman: In the Mega Pokémon Battle Royale, it's this compared to Gallade; while Gallade tried to invoke LadyAndKnight against Garchomp, Gardevoir has none of it and simply takes both of them out with a black hole.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: In its dex entry, Gardevoir only creates black holes as a last resort when their trainers are in danger. This Gardevoir [[AxeCrazy loves to spam them like crazy]], outright flooding a city with them.

[[folder:Blaziken]]
* AscendedExtra: Had a small appearance in the Mega Royale as one of the Pokémon trying [[CurbStompBattle and failing]] to battle [[OlympusMons Mewtwo]], then later became a major player in the Starter Royale [[spoiler: and the eventual winner.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Delivers a brutal one to Pikachu. Unfortunately, Let's Go Pikachu's friendship mechanics let it constantly tough out the killing blow, extending the battle for the fighting chicken.
* SuperSpeed: It's already blazing fast, as made abundantly clear in both the Mega Royale and the starter battle royale, but its Speed Boost lets it grow faster and faster as the battle rages on. This allows it to pre-empt and avoid the attacks of its foes, with the only foe it really struggles with in this regard being Pikachu, whose Zippy Zap is a priority move that always crits, [[spoiler: and it's ultimately this that leads Blaziken to win.]]
* WhyWontYouDie: Says this verbatim when Pikachu's friendship mechanics lets it tank Blaziken's hits repeatedly, much to the fire chicken's frustration.

[[folder:Swampert]]
* AchillesHeel: Its 4x Grass weakness is the one thing keeping it from coming in first place (the end-of-battle calculations show it was the 4th most likely to win). A cheap shot by Rillaboom is what takes it out of the fight and prevents it from curb-stomping the final fighters, all of whom were weak to Water or Ground.
* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: It at first isn't interested in the battle, and would rather rest in its beach hole than fight. Once the chaos disrupts its peace, its combined Earthquake and Surf decimates the island (that wasn't by Johtonian Typhlosion and Torterra) and wipes out a good chunk of the participants.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: The good side of Swampert is... practically anything you can think of, thanks to its Ground-typing allowing 2 STAB options to beat Fire and immense stats alongside being able to tear open rifts in the ground with Earthquake, overall being a massive threat to the Fire-type starters that remain after the island is ravaged. The bad side? It's 4x weak to Grass, so when Rillaboom manages to get off one last-ditch attack on it, Swampert is doomed.
* TheJuggernaut: Performs the best out of the Water-type starters, owing to its secondary Ground-typing and natural access to Earthquake, Surf, AND Muddy Water letting it unleash massive [[AreaOfEffect area of effect attacks]], which it uses to shield itself from Johtonian Typhlosion's explosion. It even manages to put down Emboar, Skeledirge and Incineroar (and also get help from Sobble to off Cinderace), and fend off Blaziken and Charizard at the same time, only being put down when Rillaboom pulls a TakingYouWithMe.

[[folder:Magcargo]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Turns out that being hotter than the surface of the sun is a lot more lethal than the Pokédex thinks it is. Although according to Lockstin, the temperature of the Pokémon itself is not the threat, unless one stood right next to it. It's the energy release from coming out of the Poké Ball that allows it to wipe out pretty much every Pokémon on the island.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It was taken out of the battle by Wobbuffet Mirror Coating the explosion right back at it, twice as strong.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Downplayed, but compared to other Pokémon, this one uses its shiny coloration rather than the regular one. This is due to Lockstin believing a purple glow would be more accurate to Magcargo's energy output, not knowing that it was Magcargo's shiny coloration already.

[[folder:Tyranitar]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the games, its Dark/Rock typing means a simple Fighting-type attack can take it down with ease.[[note]]Well, okay, its defensive stats allow it to survive one or two non-STAB Fighting-type moves from the majority of Pokémon, especially if the move in question is a low-to-mid-tier-power move like Brick Break or Drain Punch.[[/note]] In here, though, its Pokédex entry's claim of it being immune to attack is taken into account, letting it [[NoSell shrug off]] anything the opposition dishes out.
* EvilLaugh: Combined with EvilGloating, as it simply takes everything Mewtwo dishes out and shrugs it off.
* LogicalWeakness: It may be immune to damage, but it is not immune to knockback. Both of its defeats are caused by it simply getting punched out of the arena and into environments it cannot survive, like the ocean or outer space.
* NighInvulnerable: Nothing any Pokémon can dish out does anything to it. Not even [[OlympusMons Mewtwo]] smashing it around a city phases it.
* NoSell: Like in the games, Tyranitar's dark typing makes it immune to Psychic attacks, and thanks to it being immune to any form of physical attack, this means there's no direct way of harming it.
* RingOut: Thanks to its invincibility, this is the only way that Tyranitar can be eliminated.

[[folder:Metagross]]
* HeroicSacrifice: It willingly self-destructs itself in order to defeat Camerupt in the Mega Royale.
* ImMelting: It suffers this in its first bout with Camerupt, taking it out but getting splashed with lava in the process.
* PastLifeMemories: It remembers its fate in the first battle royale during the Mega Royale, despite both events taking place in separate simulations.
* TakingYouWithMe: It does this in the Mega Battle Royale with Camerupt, ramming into it and self-destructing in order to take it down.

[[folder:Gengar]]
* AssShove: Implied to be what did it in the first battle royale, considering its expression before fading to reveal Dugtrio in its place.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Its specialty. Most of the deaths it causes are some form of [[DraggedOffToHell dragging its opponents into hell]] or an alternate reality.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: In the Mega Battle Royale, Gengar shoves Gardevoir into a black hole; do note that this is the same Gardevoir that tossed a Gallade trying to protect it from a Garchomp, which it shoved both into the same black hole it created a few seconds ago.
* LotusEaterMachine: Its main strategy in the Gigantamax battle. It uses Charizard's and Eevee's popularity and belovedness against them to lure them in its mouth. It ultimately fails on Garbodor, though.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:In its rampant abduction spree in the Mega Royale, it ends up tossing Mawile, Banette, and a Baby Kangashkan into another simulation, saving them from death and revealing to them the nature of their existences.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:While it never lasts long in any of its appearances, it plays a pivotal role in revealing the nature of the simulation to Mawile, Banette, and the baby Kangashkan, along with allowing them to survive.]]
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: It's a Poison-type Pokémon, but it's still a bad idea to eat a literal mountain of trash, which does it in the Gigantamax Battle Royale.
* WouldHurtAChild: It has no issue kidnapping Kangashkan's child. [[spoiler:[[{{Irony}} Though it may have actually]] ''[[{{Irony}} saved]]'' [[{{Irony}} the child in the long run.]]]]

[[folder:Alakazam]]
* BoringButPractical: Once things get dicey on earth, it decides to simply wait out the battle in outer space. Unfortunately, it does not account for Magikarp smashing into it in re-entry.
* DirtyCoward: It's quite quick in abandoning Mr. Mime once Gengar starts prowling, electing to teleport into outer space and wait out the fight.
* GlassCannon: Its psychic power is incredible, but it's incredibly frail, especially in mega form, where a simple tap of Lucario's dreadlocks is enough to send it flying into a tree.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:It takes the role of The Architect from The Matrix Reloaded in the stinger of Gigantamax Battle Royale.]]

[[folder:Ditto]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the games, its ability to transform into any Pokémon is little more than a gimmick. [[spoiler:Here, it lets it win the battle royale, thanks to allowing it to take on the abilities and strengths of any Pokémon.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: [[https://youtu.be/JcuVqiwsiGY Ditto's Daycare Dance]] stars a Ditto and its role as the game series egg maker.
* PowerCopying: Being able to transform into any Pokémon means it can use any strategy it wants, [[spoiler:which is enough of an advantage to let it win. Specifically by transforming into Magikarp and copying its tactic a little bit after it does]].

!!Introduced in [[WebAnimation/LegendaryAndMythicalPokemonBattleRoyale Legendary Pokemon Battle Royale]]

[[folder:Mewtwo]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Mewtwo is typically one of the more active and vicious fighters early in the battle royales it participates in, but it is always put down just in time for the real big threat of the royale to come into play.
* KilledOffScreen: [[spoiler:Gets killed by Yvetal's InstantDeathRadius in the legendary royale.]]
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Designed to be the most powerful Pokémon in existence, [[spoiler:but it has no answer to Necrozma's power absorption, and neither of its mega forms can get through Tyranitar's unbreakable defense]].
* RunningGag: Its preferred method of ridding itself of the opposition is to painfully crush them into tiny balls with its powers.
* WorthyOpponent: With Tyranitar. Once it lays eyes on it, it wastes no time in ending its battle with Lucario and Medicham in order to duke it out with the other.

[[folder:Lugia]]
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Rayquaza deflects one of its hurricanes right at it, which kills it.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Its ability to cause 40-day storms with a flap of its wings is only the beginning of the amount of chaos the legendaries cause on the planet, creating hurricanes that engulf half of it.

[[folder:Rayquaza]]
* BerserkButton: Its meteor cake getting destroyed.
* CurbStompBattle: Nothing stands a chance at beating it. The reason why it spends its time in the Mega Evolution Battle Royale having a tea party up in space for much of the battle is specifically because if it were allowed to battle at the start, absolutely none of the Pokémon would survive.
* OhCrap: In the Mega Evolution Battle Royale, it actually looks legitimately freaked out when Audino manages to revive the remaining Pokémon into a final charge.
* PurposelyOverpowered: Its mega form is this, outclassing pretty much every other Pokémon, and necessitating it being distracted for much of the battle for the video to happen at all.
* SkewedPriorities: It is more interested in eating its meteor cake than whatever is going on back on Earth, and only really participates when said cake is destroyed.

[[folder:Registeel]]
* BadassBoast: It's full of them, all taken from [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic HK-47]].
* NighInvulnerable: It is unaffected from being near Groudon's Solar Beam, which melts Tapu-Lele next to it.
* ShoutOut: To [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic HK-47]].

[[folder:Groudon]]
* ButtMonkey: Its death at Kyogre's hands is depicted as it literally getting flushed down a toilet.
* LogicalWeakness: While Desolate Land makes it immune to water type attacks, Kyogre shows up ''after'' it's set up, letting it override it with its own ability and giving it the 4X type advantage back.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: It creates a crack in the earth just by landing, decimates a city with a single Solar Beam, and causes volcanoes to erupt everywhere.

[[folder:Necrozma]]
* CombatPragmatist: Necrozma will do anything to achieve victory, so it defeats Victini with a sneak attack and takes out Yveltal in order to eliminate every earthbound Pokémon still in the battle.
* FusionDance: It forces itself onto Lunala, fusing into Dawn Wings Necrozma. In one of the endings, it does the same thing to Arceus, becoming Ultra God Emperor Necrozma.
* HijackingCthulhu: Ultra Necrozma manages to do this to Arceus in the "Necrozma Wins" timeline.
* KillTheGod: It kills Dialga and Palkia, which results in space and time destabilizing. In the "Necrozma Wins" timeline, it proceeds to absorb the power of Arceus itself.
* MoveInTheFrozenTime: Ultra Necrozma, backed up by the combined power of Victini, Lunala, Solgaleo, and the sun, contains too much energy to be confined in a single piece of spacetime, so its light breaks through Dialga's time stop, killing Dialga.
* OneWingedAngel: After fusing with Lunala to become Dawn Wings Necrozma, it immediately brutalizes Solgaleo, absorbs its energy, and becomes Ultra Necrozma.
* PowerParasite: It preys on the energy provided by Victini, Lunala, Solgaleo, the sun, and in one of the endings, Arceus.

[[folder:Yveltal]]
* ButtMonkey: Its sole bit of screen time has it get instantly killed by Necrozma.
* InstantDeathRadius: It spreads one over the entire planet the battle takes in, wiping out any Pokémon still around.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Only shows up to be killed by Necrozma.

[[folder:Dialga and Palkia]]
* CosmicKeystone: After Necrozma takes Palkia and Dialga out in that order, space becomes destabilized and time becomes unglued. Reality rapidly becomes completely unstable, leading to the timeline splitting and the simulation crashing.
* PortalCut: Palkia takes out Hoopa by destroying one of its rings while Hoopa was partway through.
* PraetorianGuard: Even in a battle royale setting where it's every 'mon for itself, they're acting as Arceus' last line of defense.
* TimeStandsStill: As a last-ditch effort to stop Necrozma, Dialga freezes time for everything except itself and Celebi. Necrozma is able to break through the time stop and kill the two of them in a matter of seconds.

[[folder:Arceus]]
* BadassFingersnap: In the "Arceus wins" timeline, after catching Necrozma in one of its thousand arms, Arceus summons forth the Unown, his metaphorical thousand arms, to concentrate all of its power into one arm in order to destroy Necrozma, [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Thanos-style]].
* LiteralMetaphor: The Pokédex claims Arceus has a thousand arms, often interpreted as the Unown. The animation takes it literally, as per RuleOfFunny.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: The "Arceus wins" timeline takes this to the natural conclusion, with Arceus gaining a thousand arms and proving itself to be the mightiest Pokémon in that universe.
* SuddenAnatomy: In the reality where Arceus wins, it suddenly manifests a thousand arms in order to catch Necrozma.

!!Introduced in WebAnimation/BabyPokemonBattleRoyale

[[folder:Riolu]]
* BoringButPractical: [[spoiler:How Riolu wins, as unlike nearly every other baby Pokémon, Riolu's Pokédex entry only describes its physical aptitude and ''doesn't'' speak of any weaknesses, unlike some Pokémon such as Pichu. As such, Riolu had little holding it back.]]

[[folder:Wynaut]]
* AttackReflector: Its species' signature skill, which it uses against Riolu to counteract its attacks. Until the latter finally overwhelms it, anyway.
* ExtremeOmnivore: It has a similar appetite to Munchlax, eating a lot of food and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick a baby.]]

[[folder:Munchlax]]
* ExtremeOmnivore: The little guy loves to eat. Berries, plants, objects, entire trees. An actual rock, however, seems too much for it to stomach.
* {{Jerkass}}: It only cares for eating, and outright steals Happiny's fake egg right out of its pouch.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The above ends up killing it.

[[folder:Mime Jr]]
* NonActionGuy: It doesn't do any fighting. It just runs around imitating whoever is nearby.

[[folder:Happiny]]
* NiceGuy: Happiny is described by Lockstin as very caring.
* TheMedic: It only appears to heal Azuril.
* VocalDissonance: Happiny, a species that can only be female, uses a voice clip of Louis from Left 4 Dead.

!!Introduced in WebAnimation/MegaPokemonBattleRoyale
[[folder:Audino]]
* AccidentalMurder: Audino puts a mask over Glalie's mouth to stop its blizzard coughs from freezing the other Pokémon, but since Glalie can't stop coughing, it eventually buries itself in its own snow.
* NiceGuy: Unlike most Pokémon, it would much rather heal others than participate in the fighting. It only attacks when it realizes that Rayquaza was the one who brought down the Mega Stones, thus being the cause of the battle.
* TheMedic: Audino spends most of its time healing other Pokémon.

[[folder:Diancie]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Gets partially eaten by Sableye before getting disintegrated by Rayquaza.
* NiceGuy: Unlike most Pokémon, it would much rather have a tea party with Rayquaza than participate in the fighting. It only attacks to avenge some Pokémon it was in the middle of healing.

[[folder:Heracross]]
* BadassNormal: Compared to all other Mega Pokémon, the only advantage it gets is the ability to lift more weight. It uses that remarkably effectively, Seismic Tossing [[OlympusMons Mewtwo]], [[NighInvulnerable Tyranitar]], and two other Pokémon into the outer atmosphere and killing them.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Only appears for a handful of seconds, but in that time, it takes out the two biggest current threats in the fight and accidentally incurs the wrath of Rayquaza in the process.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Its decision to throw a group of Megas into space ended up getting Rayquaza to finally intervene in the Mega Royale [[spoiler:and wipe out every remaining Pokémon]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Its collective screen time barely passes 5 seconds before it dies. It gets a remarkable amount done in such a short time, though.

[[folder:Mawile, Banette, and baby Kangaskhan '''(Beware of Unmarked Spoilers)''']]
[[quoteright:854:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mawlie_banette_and_baby_kangaskhan.png]]
[[caption-width-right:660:[[labelnote:Mega Evolution]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mega_mawile_mega_banette_and_mega_baby_kangaskhan.png]][[/labelnote]]

* AscendedExtra: They're Gengar's victims in the ''Mega Pokémon Battle Royale'', but the stinger in ''Gigantamax Pokémon Battle Royale'' implies they will be playing a greater role.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Baby Kangaskhan plays this role on the team, due to being a baby.
* {{Determinator}}: TheStinger for ''Ultra Beast Battle Royale'' shows that the three of them are trying to navigate the storage system to escape. It's clear that they have a long, ''long'' way to go, but evident by Sudowoodo's concerned look, that doesn't seem to deter them.
* EnemyMine: They drop all hostility between each other during the Gigantamax Battle Royale, working together to survive.
* FreezeFrameBonus: They can be spotted running around the city during the Gigantamax Battle Royale, and later jumping into Gengar's mouth. TheStinger of the video focuses on these moments.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: They are rightly horrified when they are shown by Alakazam that their lives are just a series of battle royale simulations. TheStinger for the ''Ultra Beasts Battle Royale'' reveals, however, that they are not taking this sitting down, and are attempting to escape as a result.
* MissingChild: Poor momma Kangaskhan can only screech in horror as she watches her child get kidnapped by Gengar. [[{{Irony}} This may have actually]] ''[[{{Irony}} saved]]'' [[{{Irony}} her, however.]]

!!Introduced in WebAnimation/GigantamaxPokemonBattleRoyale

[[folder:Eternatus]]
* FingerWag: Does this to Dragonite, Tyranitar and Golurk, three Pokémon commonly cited as deserving of Gigantamax forms, before vaporizing them in a single Eternabeam on account of them not having Gigantamax forms.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: It doesn't get to participate in the battle, as it's an ''[[ExactWords Eternamax]]'' Pokémon rather than Gigantamax. It still gets credited as being the reason the battle can happen at all, as its presence provides the energy for everyone to access their Gigantamax forms.
* ShoutOut: It performs [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Master Hand's Smash 64 intro.]]

[[folder:Lapras]]
* BadassBoast: Who would think a recreation of ''Steamed Hams'' could be turned into one?
--> '''Urshifu''': "Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country localized entirely within you?"
--> '''Lapras''': "Yes."
--> '''Urshifu''': "... May I see it?"
--> '''Lapras''': [[BringIt "Yes."]]
* BoringButPractical: [[spoiler:Compared to other winners, who win thanks to either having a broken power or massively outclassing the opposition, Lapras wins by virtue of being a non-aggressive StoneWall, which allows it to survive to the final confrontation with enough health to spare to survive and take out Rapid-Strike Urshifu.]]
* GentleGiant: It helps rescue a bunch of Meltan as part of its introduction, and remains a largely passive player in the battle. It works to its benefit.
* MightyGlacier: It is this incarnate, thanks to its ability to set up Aurora Veils at will. [[spoiler:It wins it the battle.]]

[[folder:Melmetal]]
* BigEater: It swallows a literal tsunami of gold coins and eats Copperajah. It also eats Magearna in its brief cameo in the legendary royale.
* TheCameo: Appears briefly in ''Legendary Pokémon Battle Royale'' before gaining a bigger role in ''Gigantamax Pokémon Battle Royale.''
* TheWormThatWalks: It's composed of several Meltan, which start the battle separated before joining together.

[[folder:Inteleon]]
* ColdSniper: It spends its time headshotting whatever wanders into its crosshair. In fact, its finger gun is replaced with an ''actual sniper rifle made of water.''
* FingerGun: It's what it uses in game, but it's taken literally here, as it uses a literal sniper rifle that's attached to its finger. It comes closer to its actual use in the ''Starter Pokémon Battle Royale'', taking out both Blastoise and Feraligatr.
* LogicalWeakness: Its giant tail is what gives it the range to attack other Pokémon. [[AttackTheTail Once it is cut]], it topples into the ground screaming.
* OhCrap: It's usually shown as smooth and professional in reference to the spy films it's based on, but it's noticeably shocked when Blastoise starts taking out the other water types with Hydro Pump in the Starter Battle Royale.

[[folder:Cinderace]]
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Its ball never misses its target, allowing it to strike down Corviknight with ease.
* LogicalWeakness: The ball itself is not indestructible, and once it crashes into the ocean and gets destroyed, Cinderace is left easy pickings.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Downplayed; it doesn't look any different than its source design, but it is shown wearing a pair of photoshopped red Nike sweatpants. They blend in with its design surprisingly well.
* SquashedFlat: By Snorlax.

[[folder:Eevee]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Sure, it's the Partner Eevee and thus has most of Partner Pikachu's special qualities like its signature moves and Friendship abilities, but competitively Eevee is a subpar Pokémon made to be evolved and, to its horror, it can't evolve anyway thanks to being a Partner. As such, while it lasts into the island being set ablaze, it dies soon after when going down to the surface to try and evolve.
* CharacterShilling: Lockstin's analysis for the Gigantamax royale brings up this trope. This favoritism is used against it by G-Max Gengar, who uses a LotusEaterMachine illusion of people fawning over it to lure it to its death.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It spends the entirety of the battle looking for an evolutionary stone, but when it finally gets one, it becomes a victim of this trope. As it is the Partner Eevee from ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndEevee'', the evolution Pokémon is incapable of evolution, a text box popping up saying "Eevee does not want to evolve." despite the evidence to the contrary.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: In the Starter Royale, the Partner Eevee has a heart-shaped patch of lighter fur at the tip of her tail, while the other Eevee has a more standard patch of lighter fur, and a katana.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted for the Starter Royale, which features a brief cameo from a second Eevee who has a katana, the starter from ''VideoGame/PokemonConquest''.
* RunningGag: One gag throughout its appearances in the battle are it finding an evolutionary stone, only for it to be ripped away from it. It does eventually get its hands on a Fire Stone... [[YankTheDogsChain only to discover it can't evolve.]] It's noted in the analysis that it probably would have been better off attacking with its signature moves, considering this Eevee is explicitly the Partner Eevee from ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndEevee.''
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In the Gigantamax battle royale, Gigantamax Eevee's fur is said to captivate the minds of others. As a side effect, eating Eevee causes Gengar to cough up a massive hairball...and then get the oh-so brilliant idea in its addled mind to go after the even spicier ''Garbodor'' next.

[[folder:Drednaw]]
* TheDreadedDreadnought: It's based on the titular naval ship, and it showcases this by striking and sinking Blastoise.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: It gets used as a makeshift flail by G-Max Machamp, which brings its end.
* LongNeck: It can extend its neck a considerable distance, something that G-Max Coalossal was not aware of until it decides to showcase this ability after some ill-advised taunts.
* {{Kaiju}}: It gets a few references to several other famous kaiju, particularly Film/{{Gamera}}.

[[folder:Rillaboom]]
* LetsGetDangerous: After being a funny screaming ape loaded with references and inhibited by the destructibility of its drum for most of the Gigantamax and Starter Battle Royales, Rillaboom climbs out of the chasm created by the warring Swampert and Torterra's Earthquakes to drag the former back down with it, reciting Donkey Kong's [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie infamous stone-cold "Now you die."]] as it does.
* MagicMusic: Uses a tree stump as a drum, beating it to spread and control its roots. This proves Rillaboom's downfall in the Gigantamax Battle Royale since most of the Dynamax energy went into the drum(s), leaving it outclassed when its instrument is destroyed, but in the Starter Battle Royale it's able to compensate with its natural GreenThumb abilities.
* TakingYouWithMe: Manages to climb a ways out of Swampert's Earthquake fissures, but chooses to fall again and drag Swampert down with it in revenge rather than get back on solid ground, defeating the MightyGlacier that the remaining Fire-types could not.

[[folder:Duraludon]]
* {{Kaiju}}: It's a reference to one of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s infamous arch-enemies, Mecha-Godzilla, including the roar.

[[folder:Grimmsnarl]]
* ButtMonkey: The poor thing gets absolutely no respect in the battle. It ends up using G-Max Snooze on the already asleep Snorlax, then bounces off its stomach into the stratosphere, has some of its hair burned off by Duraludon, painfully zapped by Pikachu, and finally done in by Hatterene.
* ThisIsADrill: It can spin its hair like a drill, and at least manages to do in Single-Strike Urshifu this way.

[[folder:Snorlax]]
* GrievousHarmWithABody: G-Max Copperajah's compulsion to move mountains compels it to push Snorlax around, turning it into a giant wrecking ball that [[SquashedFlat squashes Cinderace.]]
* TheSlacker: As Snorlax do, it would much rather lie down and sleep than do anything. The only time it bothers to try at all, it's to eat G-Max Alcremie, which it can't do thanks to its girth. Don't worry, Copperajah helps it get the cake eventually.
* StoneWall: Exaggerated and then some. It takes Rapid-Strike Urshifu over ''three minutes straight'' of continues punching to take it down! Not helped by G-Max Replenish letting it occasionally restore health.

[[folder:Flapple and Appletun]]
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Despite being two different branching evolutions, their Gigantamax forms look identical. In fact, it's never addressed which is which.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: To remedy this, one of the two uses its shiny colorations.

[[folder:Garbodor]]
* DrivenToSuicide: It willingly jumps into Gengar's mouth when the ghost Pokémon tries to lure it in with the voices of those who love Garbodor. Nobody loves Garbodor.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: It's never a good idea to eat a literal mountain of garbage. Gengar learns this the hard way.

[[folder:Urshifu]]
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Rapid-Strike's specialty. It manages to take down G-Max Snorlax with a ''three-minute'' straight barrage, and nearly takes down Lapras with another.
* OneHitKill: Single-Strike's specialty, decimating G-Max Kingler in [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan One Puuuunch!!!]]
* OneSteveLimit: Averted like with Charizard, as there are two Urshifu, one for each style, in the battle. Like with Charizard, Urshifu is a species with more than one member, unlike most OlympusMons.

[[folder:Poipole]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poipole.png]]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:11th (Last)]]

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: It's the only unevolved Ultra Beast. It doesn't last long in battle as a result.
* TheCameo: In the ''Starter Pokémon Battle Royale'', it briefly appears in the background, acknowledging the fact that it is a common starter in the Ultra Megalopolis, but [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere immediately flees into an Ultra Wormhole.]]
* TheGadfly: It enjoys annoying other creatures, and does its best to irk Stakataka. [[PyrrhicVictory It succeeds.]]

[[folder:Guzzlord]]

[[caption-width-right:763:''AHHHHHHHHHHH--'']]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:3rd]]

* BigEater: It didn't come to order a light salad, it wants to eat everything in sight. It mostly spends its fight eating everything in its way, including any unfortunate Ultra Beasts.
* BlackHoleBelly: The Pokédex describes its stomach as this, and it eats enough to make the claim credible. [[spoiler:This ends up being its undoing, however, as it ends up eating something that ends up disagreeing with its stomach. Specifically, Kartana, which can cut through anything.]]
* EnemyMine: It has one with Naganadel, as the two are considered to have a bond in the TCG. Doesn't stop it from eating it, however, though it may have been accidental.
* LowTierLetdown: [[invoked]] [[spoiler:Invoked by Lockstin as part of why it didn't win in the animation: In-universe lore says that Guzzlord is capable of devouring large objects and is stated to be incredibly dangerous even among the other Ultra Beasts. However, Lockstin references its significantly lower placement in the Website/{{Smogon}} competitive tiers, as it performs much worse than the other Ultra Beasts in a 6v6 format in a display of GameplayAndStorySegregation[[note]]This is because Guzzlord's weird stats-spread hurt its performance a lot: it has a high HP stat, but it has middling bulk overall due to its abysmal defenses (accentuated by its lack of reliable recovery), its offensive stats are fine, but not specialized or high enough to stand out, and it's painfully slow, meaning it never sees usage in OU, the main competitive tier.[[/note]].]]
* VocalDissonance: Referencing this trope's instance in the anime, it screams with memetic screams that do not at all fit its DraconicAbomination status.

[[folder:Celesteela]]

[[caption-width-right:763:''[[VideoGame/Portal2 SPAAAAAAAAAACE]]'']]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:7th]]

* AccidentalMurder: Xurkitree getting toasted by its exhaust is purely accidental, as it is just trying to lift off into space.
* NonActionGuy: Celesteela has zero interest in the fight going on around it since it just wants to go to space.
* ShoutOut: Did we mention it wants to go to [[VideoGame/Portal2 Spaaaace!!?]] There's also an ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' reference thrown in for good mention. Because it's in space.

[[folder:Xurkitree]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xurkitree_4.png]]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:8th]]
----
* PowerCordTail: Beyond looking like a bunch of power cords wrapped together, it plugs in an actual power cord tail into the power plant to bolster its light show performance. This ends up biting it in the tail as it can no longer move when Celesteela decides to take off.
* TheRival: It has this going on with Blacephalon. Both of them engage each other in a battle to see who can make the most impressive light show.

[[folder:Buzzwole]]
[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buzzwole_0.png]]
[[caption-width-right:275:BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!]]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:9th]]

* MusclesAreMeaningless: It at one point absorbs a Miltank's life force to ''massively'' increase its musculature, but Pheromosa easily kicks them into oblivion.
* NiceGuy: It's content to simply flex around rather than engage in battle, and it even goes out of its way to save Pheromosa and ensure its safety. That said...
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: It neglects to remember that Pheromosa HatesBeingTouched and its reassuring pats only serve to anger it and drive it to kill it in revenge.

[[folder:Pheromosa]]
[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pheromosa_3.png]]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:4th]]

* BerserkButton: It HatesBeingTouched, as it does in canon. Buzzwole's innocent head pats of comfort are enough to make it break off their truce.
* ButtMonkey: Not much goes well for it in the fight. It gets possessed by Nihilego, has its BerserkButton pushed, and it suffers probably the most painful death in the royale, as it has its limbs cut off while still staying alive long enough to be eaten.
* FragileSpeedster: Its speed is its greatest strength, but it's as frail as it looks. Once it's immobilized by Naganadel, it ends up a sitting duck.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: It uses its pheromones to gain Kartana's loyalty and aid. It ends up "aiding" it by chopping off its limbs when it gets stuck.
* KickChick: It fights exclusively with powerful kicks. Powerful enough to obliterate Buzzwole's bulked-up arms easily, and kick it into orbit.
* OhCrap: It gets an epic one when it realizes what Kartana will do to "help" it.
* WhenSheSmiles: It spends the royale with a largely disinterested frown on its face, but does smile when it gets Kartana to ally with it.

[[folder:Nihilego]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nihilego_3.png]]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:6th]]

* NonMaliciousMonster: As the Pokédex establishes, Nihilego doesn't appear to be sentient. It spends the royale simply latching onto heads out of what seems to be pure instinct rather than any actual malice.
* PuppeteerParasite: It spends the entire battle searching for other creatures to latch onto. This behavior works against it against Blacephalon, who uses its exploding head to kill it.

[[folder:Blacephalon]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blacephalon.png]]
[[caption-width-right:763:''[[Franchise/KungFuPanda Finally! A worthy opponent!]] [in clown]'']]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:5th]]

* FightingClown: It looks and acts like a clown, and spends the fight annoying other Pokémon more than actually fighting them.
* LogicalWeakness: Its head regrows from a hole in the body. When Naganandel blocks it with its glue, it can no longer regrow it and keels over dead.
* YourHeadASplode: Its signature ability is to explode its own head, and quickly regrow it. It does this repeatedly throughout the fight, including getting rapid-fire head popped by Naganandel.

[[folder:Kartana]]
[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kartana_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:275: ?ni tuc fi dniM]]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:2nd]]

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Its whole gimmick is being absurdly sharp.
* BadassAdorable: It's an inch-tall origami samurai, and it's badass enough to face off against a giant DraconicAbomination, a living spaceship, and other powerful adversaries and [[spoiler:almost]] come out on top.
* FurryReminder: It's a tiny origami samurai, and its first target is the bamboo-like Celesteela. Samurai practiced their swordsmanship on bamboo.
* GlassCannon: Its absurd cutting power is balanced out by it being very small and very fragile. [[spoiler:It ultimately costs it its victory, as it was unable to survive destroying Naganadel's stinger, letting the latter take the victory, if only barely.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: It can fit in the palm of Pheromosa's hand, and can slice things far bigger than itself in half.
* SdrawkcabSpeech: Like in the anime, it's actually speaking English[[note]]More specifically, [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Jetstream Sam]] dialouge[[/note]], but in reverse.

[[folder:Stakataka]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stakataka.png]]
[[caption-width-right:763:''[[Series/DoctorWho EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!]]'']]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:10th]]

* HatesBeingTouched: It doesn't take it well when Poipole sits on its head.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Crushing Poipole ends up being its undoing, as the sticky glue ends up sticking the Stakataka blocks together and immobilizing them, leaving them defenseless against an incoming Guzzlord.
* LogicalWeakness: Being TheWormThatWalks allows it to shapeshift pretty efficiently, but that only works when the individual blocks are ''able'' to move independently. When the blocks end up glued together, the Stakataka colony is rendered immobile.
* TheWallsAreClosingIn: Its method of getting rid of Poipole is to swallow it and then crush it with its own body. [[AttackBackfire It works up until the part where it can no longer separate.]]
* TheWormThatWalks: Stakataka is actually a colony of brick-like organisms that clump together to form the Stakataka form. This allows the body to shift and change shape however they please.

[[folder:Naganadel]]
[[quoteright:572:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naganadel_1.png]]
->'''Placement:''' [[spoiler:1st]]

* AttackTheTail: [[spoiler:A rare example where this trope ''backfires'' for the attacker. Naganadel's stinger was sliced open by Kartana in their final showdown, causing its abdomen to explode. The following explosion ends up being Kartana's undoing, leaving Naganadel as the sole victor, albeit barely alive and its stinger destroyed.]]
* BewareMyStingerTail: Its stinger is its main weapon, though it uses it mainly to fire its sticky poison, and only uses its stinging aspects to ineffectually pop Blacephalon's head. It goes a lot better when it combines the two attributes to end the clown's performance.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Its main claim to fame among Ultra Beasts is being capable of firing what's essentially superglue with perfect accuracy. Not very impressive compared to having a black hole for a stomach, cutting through anything, or just being absurdly fast and strong. As Lockstin's video addresses, however, such an ability is ''exceptionally'' powerful in an animated setting, as that superglue is capable of negating a lot of the other Ultra Beasts' powers, like Pheromosa's speed or Blacephalon's head regeneration.
* NoSell: It's completely unaffected by Nihilego trying to latch onto its head as [[BizarreAlienBiology its brain is actually located in its abdomen]].
* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler:It only barely survives the battle, thanks to Kartana slicing its stinger in two and subsequently blowing itself and Kartana up.]]

!!Introduced in WebAnimation/StarterPokemonBattleRoyale
[[folder:Johtonian Typhlosion]]
* StuffBlowingUp: Due to its fur being rubbed against Charizard at incredibly high velocity as Charizard carries it up to the sky attempting to use its Seismic Toss, it causes two massive explosions- one in midair, which gets Charizard to drop it, and then another on the ground, devastating the island a la Magcargo in the very first royale.

[[folder:Grovyle]]
* ShoutOut: He's outright stated to be the Grovyle from VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers, shown off by him using a Time Gear to time travel out of the battle.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He disappears from the battle thanks to a Time Gear. Lockstin implies he may have travelled to the past.

[[folder:The Eeveelutions (Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon)]]
* TheCameo: Flareon and Glaceon briefly appear in the first Pokémon Battle Royale.
* CurbStompBattle: Jolteon and Glaceon easily kill Vaporeon.
* KillItWithFire: Flareon ignites Leafeon, which more than likely killed it slowly.
* ScissorsCutsRock: Glaceon finished off Vaporeon with an Ice Move. Justified as it likely used Freeze-Dry.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Espeon immediately flees before the other Eeveelutions duke it out with one another.

[[folder:Incineroar]]
* CuttingTheKnot: When Sceptile surrounds Incineroar in afterimages using Double Team, Incineroar responds by using [[SpinAttack Darkest Lariat]] to swing at all of the Sceptiles at the same time, guaranteeing it hits the real one. This is GameplayAndStoryIntegration, as Darkest Lariat is a move that ignores the target's stat boosts, including the evasion boosts that Double Team would grant.
* ScissorsCutsRock: The Fire/Dark-type Incineroar actually manages to beat the Water/Fairy-type Primarina, owing to Primarina's focus on Sound-based moves. This leaves it wide open to Incineroar's Throat Chop, and once Primarina's hit by that, its sound-based moves were disabled, leaving it open for the fire cat to promptly finish Primarina off with a suplex throw, straight out of VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Upon seeing the Fire/Fighting-types duking it out, Incineroar runs away from the area as fast as it can, and ends up running into Primarina (and Sceptile).

[[folder:Meowscarada]]
* TheTrickster: After hiding under Torterra to shield itself from the exploding Johtonian Typhlosion, it fools Torterra into eating one of the bombs from its Flower Trick. Unfortunately for Meowscarada, this draws the ire of Chesnaught, who is immune to explosions, and promptly punches it into the atmosphere.

[[folder:Hisuian Typhlosion]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Hisuian Typhlosion in the games generally has a calmer disposition than its Johto counterpart and purifies lost souls, but in the battle royale, it sucks up the souls of the Pokémon that have died to boost its power with a demonic grin on its face.
* AntiClimax: After absorbing all of the souls of the fallen starters, Hisuian Typhlosion laughs maniacally before preparing to attack... [[spoiler: only for Charizard to unceremoniously shove it into the giant chasm caused by Swampert and Torterra's Earthquakes]].
* DisneyVillainDeath: Like many in the Starter Battle Royale, it was defeated by being dropped in a massive pit. Appropriately, this is accompanied by the final scream of [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs the Evil Queen]], [[TropeMakers Disney's first example of this trend]].

[[folder:Sobble]]
* ChameleonCamouflage: Sobble has the ability to disappear into water, including its own tears. [[spoiler: It uses this to be one of the last Pokémon standing in the royale, as well as to make a surprise attack on Cinderace.]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: The Pokédex notes that its aim with Water Gun is perfect. [[spoiler: This allows it to land a fatal hit on Cinderace despite its relative weakness.]]
* WeakButSkilled: Sobble has a few very useful abilities that let it do surprisingly well, but being an unevolved Pokémon it isn't likely to win any straight fights. [[spoiler: When enough of the field is gone for it to become a target, Charizard easily dispatches it.]]

! The Real World

[[folder:Professor Lockstin]]
* AuthorAvatar: Of Lockstin from WebVideo/{{Gnoggin}}.
* MediumAwareness: He's aware of the popup links on Website/YouTube videos, including where they are and when they disappear. It's only him who has this power, though.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: He nervously states that Mega Evolution doesn't exist to placate the Men in Black.
* RunningGag: He points out the link to his analysis videos in every video, which tends to confuse others around him.
* TheWatson: For himself, oddly enough. He always brings up the most valid questions about the simulations that he himself answers in the connected analysis video.

[[folder:Sudowoodo]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Whether it wants to log into the storage system to ''help'' the three escaping Pokémon or ''stop'' them, it's hard to tell. Whatever its motivations, what Mawile, Banette, and Baby Kangashkan are doing doesn't sit well with it. [[spoiler: Once it finally logs into the system at the end of the Starter Royale, [[GoodAllAlong it proves to be doing the former]], pulling them out of the simulation.]]
* OhCrap: It has a panicked look on its face as it watches Mawile, Banette, and Baby Kangashkan slowly climb their way through the storage boxes, compounded by the fact that it doesn't know Professor Oak's password to [[spoiler: withdraw them from the PC.]]
* OneSteveLimit: While a Sudowoodo has definitely participated in the first battle royale, this isn't that Sudowoodo. This one exists in the real world as an assistant to the researchers.

[[folder:Snugooi]]
* CompanyCrossReferences: Snugooi is not a canon Pokémon, but a fanmade one for Gnoggin's "WebVideo/PokemonLegendsNeoGhetsis" series.
* ShoulderPet: Crawls up on Professor Lockstin's shoulder.

[[caption-width-right:763:''SPAAAAAAAAAACE'']]

* NonActionGuy: It has zero interest in the fight going on around it. It just wants to go to space.

* PowerCordTail: Beyond looking like a bunch of power cords wrapped together, it plugs in an actual power cord tail into the power plant to bolster its light show performance. This ends up biting it in the tail, as it can no longer move when Celesteela decides to take off.

* NoSell: It's completely unaffected by Nihilego trying to latch onto its head, as [[BizarreAlienBiology its brain is actually located in its abdomen]].

* RapidFireFisticuffs: Rapid-Strike's specialty. It manages to take down G-Max Snorlax with a ''three minute'' straight barrage, and nearly takes down Lapras with another.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: It neglects to remember that Pheromosa HatesBeingTouched, and its reassuring pats only serve to anger it and drive it to kill it in revenge.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Anything that is as hot as Magcargo would probably be outputting a lot of energy. And when you combine that with the fact that releasing it from a Poké Ball involves the ''release'' of energy, well, you get StuffBlowingUp in snail form.

* GodSlayer: It kills Dialga and Palkia, which results in space and time destabilizing. In the "Necrozma Wins" timeline, it proceeds to absorb the power of Arceus itself.

* OneSteveLimit: The Starter royale features a brief cameo from a second Eevee who has a sword, the starter from ''VideoGame/PokemonConquest''.

* GunsAreWorthless: In the Mega Battle Royale, Blastoise dramatically rolls onto scene, lowers itself into position, unveils its three cannons... and then fires a WaveMotionGun from its ''forehead'', in a reference to its awkward attack animations ingame. It reprises this in the ''Starter Pokémon Battle Royale'', too.

* MediumAwareness: He's aware of the popup links on YouTube videos, including where they are and when they disappear. It's only him who has this power, though.

* Vocal Dissonance: Happiny, a species that can only be female, uses a voice clip of Louis from Left 4 Dead.
