39----
40* BackpackCannon: Has a pair of cannons on its back that it uses to fire water.
41* DemotedToExtra: Was PutOnABus for ''Brawl'', then placed into the Kalos Pokémon League's background. Its pre-evolved form Squirtle, however, is playable. In ''Ultimate'', TheBusCameBack in a way where it became an equippable Primary Spirit.

47->'''Appears in:''' ''64''
48->'''Move used:''' Take Down
49->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinichiroMiki
50
51This Poison Bee Pokémon is known for the venomous stingers on not just its abdomen, but its drill-like appendages as well. When summoned, Beedrill will fly offscreen and return with a swarm of other Beedrill.
52----
53* BeeAfraid: It's a giant poisonous bee with stingers for arms and [[ScaryStingingSwarm attacks in swarms]].
54* PutOnABus: This was Beedrill's only ''Smash'' appearance, as its role was given to Unown in ''Melee''.
55* ZergRush: It attacks opponents in swarms while using Take Down.
56[[/folder]]
57[[folder:Clefairy (Pippi)]]
58[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clefairy_ssbm.png]]
59->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
60->'''Appears in:''' ''64'', ''Melee''
61->'''Move used:''' Metronome (Self-Destruct, Gust, Fire Spin, Waterfall)
62->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaraSands (English), Mayumi Iisuka (Japanese)
63
64The Fairy Pokémon, originally intended to be the mascot of the series before Pikachu took the position. Clefairy is rarely seen by humans and is widely believed to have come from the Moon. It was among the first Pokémon to naturally learn Metronome, which could allow it to use any known move. In ''64'', Metronome caused Clefairy to copy one of the other Poké Ball Pokémon's attacks, while in ''Melee'', Clefairy uses one of four moves unique to it.
65----
66* ActionBomb: Self-Destruct causes Clefairy to create a powerful explosion. Unlike in the ''Pokémon'' games, this doesn't hurt the user (or the summoner).
67* BlowYouAway: Gust traps and damages opponents with wind.
68* ConfusionFu: There's no telling what Clefairy will do with Metronome.
69* PlayingWithFire: With Fire Spin, the ground around Clefairy is covered with flames, damaging any opponent who gets caught in it.
70* PowerupLetdown: In ''64'', if Clefairy ended up copying Goldeen, it would just hop around doing nothing.
71* PutOnABus: Once Togepi became the games' resident Metronome user, Clefairy got phased out.
72* RandomEffectSpell: ''Metronome'' causes it to randomly perform one of four other moves -- Gust, Fire Spin, Waterfall, or Self-Destruct.
73* TheBusCameBack: Though DemotedToExtra, it returns as a Primary Spirit in ''Ultimate''.

75[[folder:Meowth (Nyarth)]]
76[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meowth_ssb4.png]]
77->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
78->'''Appears in:''' ''64'', ''Brawl'', ''3DS/Wii U'', ''Ultimate''
79->'''Move used:''' Pay Day
80
81The Scratch Cat Pokémon, Meowth is a nocturnal creature that adores circular, shiny objects like coins. It's also most well-known for being the main Pokémon of [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries a certain duo from Team Rocket]]. It uses Pay Day to attack people with coins.
82----
83* TheBusCameBack: After only appearing as a trophy in ''Melee'', Meowth comes back as a Poké Ball Pokémon in ''Brawl''.
84* DemotedToExtra: ''Melee'' is the only game in the series where this happens to Meowth, demoting it from summon to trophy. The trophy in question, where Meowth is holding a guitar, is based on "Meowth's Party", an ending song in the Johto seasons of the anime. Said ending was used as a tech demo for the [=GameCube=] and can be viewed in ''VideoGame/PokemonChannel''.
85* ManekiNeko: This was the inspiration for Meowth and explains the link between the Pokémon and gold coins.
86* MoneyMauling: Meowth throws gold coins to damage other fighters.
87* TheVoiceless: The summonable Meowth in ''Smash'' never makes any sounds aside from the noises made by Pay Day, leaving it ambiguous whether this is just an ordinary Meowth or [[Characters/PokemonTheSeriesTeamRocketTrio the famous talking Meowth]]. Though the trophy in ''Melee'' is specifically of that Meowth, as he appeared in a [=GameCube=] tech demo entitled "Meowth's Party".

90[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dd63d4acae6cea71d32df494080d054e.png]]
91->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
92->'''Appears in:''' ''64''
93->'''Move used:''' Rock Throw
94->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/UnshoIshizuka
95
96The Rock Snake Pokémon, Onix is known to burrow into the ground at high speeds in search of food. It is also the largest of the original 151 Pokémon. Onix will rise above the screen to drop boulders from above.
97----
98* DemotedToExtra: Was reduced to a platform in ''Melee's'' Poké Floats before disappearing entirely. Its evolved form Steelix, however, does appear as a trophy in the same game and becomes a part of the Kalos Pokémon League's background in ''For Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''.
99* DishingOutDirt: Uses Rock Throw to drop rocks from above.
100[[/folder]]
101[[folder:Hitmonlee (Sawamular)]]
102[[quoteright:111:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/600907368211b973449920f6b2d4fdbb.jpg]]
103->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
104->'''Appears in:''' ''64''
105->'''Move used:''' Jump Kick
106->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi
107
108A Kicking Pokémon known for its powerful...well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin legs]]. Hitmonlee uses Jump Kick to leap into the air once to attack.
109----
110* DemotedToExtra: His role is given to Scizor for ''Melee'', and he's later made into a regular trophy in ''3DS'' and an equippable Primary Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
111* DivingKick: Hitmonlee uses a single Jump Kick in battle. Considering it's called the Kicking Pokémon, this should be expected.
112* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: It's named after Creator/BruceLee in English and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadashi_Sawamura Tadashi Sawamura]] in Japanese.
113* OneGenderRace: Tyrogue, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop are all entirely male.
114[[/folder]]
115[[folder:Koffing (Dogars)]]
116[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koffing_ssb4.png]]
117->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
118->'''Appears in:''' ''64'', ''[=3DS=]'' (Smash Run enemy)''
119->'''Move used:''' Smog
120->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/UnshoIshizuka (Japanese), Michael Haigney (English), Thomas Rau (German)
121
122The Poison Gas Pokémon, Koffing uses Smog to damage enemies who get near it. Just be glad the gas doesn't explode in this series.
123----
124* PoisonousPerson: Attacks using noxious gas.
125* PutOnABus: It's replaced by Weezing in ''Melee''.
126* TheBusCameBack: Somewhat. It appears as an enemy in Smash Run in the [=3DS=] version.
127[[/folder]]
128[[folder:Chansey (Lucky)]]
129[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chansey_ssbm.png]]
130->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
131->'''Appears in:''' ''64'', ''Melee''
132->'''Move used:''' Soft-Boiled (occasionally uses Egg Bomb instead)
133->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomoeHanba (Japanese), Creator/RachaelLillis (English), Ulrike Jenni (German)
134
135The Egg Pokémon, Chansey is a gentle creature that is often seen working alongside the nurses in Pokémon Centers. She uses Soft-Boiled to release several eggs that either heal, contain items, or explode.
136----
137* InvincibleMinorMinion: Averted in ''Melee'', where Chansey is one of the few summoned Pokémon that can be defeated.
138* OneGenderRace: Chansey and the rest of its evolutionary line can only be female.
139* PutOnABus: Chansey hasn't been seen since ''Melee''.
140* StuffBlowingUp: Some of her eggs are actually explosives.
141* TheBusCameBack: Somewhat. In ''Ultimate'', she returns as a stage "hazard" in the returning Saffron City stage, as well as being an unlockable Support Spirit, but does not return as a Poké Ball summon.
142[[/folder]]
143[[folder:Goldeen (Tosakinto)]]
144[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goldeen_ssbu.png]]
145->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
146->'''Appears in:''' ''64'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''3DS/Wii U'', ''Ultimate''
147->'''Move used:''' Splash
148->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VeronicaTaylor (English, ''64'' only), Creator/RachaelLillis (English, ''Melee'' onwards), Creator/IkueOtani (Japanese)
149
150This Goldfish Pokémon is said to swim at high speeds with incredible elegance, lending it the nickname "Water Queen". You wouldn't believe that from playing ''Super Smash Bros.'', where Goldeen just splashes around doing nothing when summoned.
151----
152* AdaptationalWimp: For most Pokémon fans, the first one that comes to mind when people think about "helpless fish that can only flop about on land" would be Magikarp. Here, though, it's Goldeen, who is much more reliable in the main games. In fact, in the main games Goldeen can't even ''learn'' Splash whatsoever.
153* TheArtifact: As mentioned below in MythologyGag, Goldeen using Splash is a reference to Misty's Goldeen only being able to splash around helplessly when summoned on land in the anime. By the time of ''Brawl''[='=]s release, Misty had long since been replaced from the anime's main cast, though Goldeen and its gimmick remained.
154* JokeCharacter: [[VideoGame/PokemonStadium What's the point of splashing?!]]
155* MythologyGag: Goldeen using Splash is a reference to ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'', where Misty's Goldeen just splashed around helplessly when summoned on land. Goldeen can't even learn Splash in the ''Pokémon'' games.
156* NotCompletelyUseless: Its spirit does provide use allowing the fighter equipped with it to swim in spirit battles where the fighter otherwise can't swim.
157* PowerupLetdown: Splash is just as useless here as it is in the ''Pokémon'' games. Goldeen is notable for being the only non-Legendary Pokémon besides Zoroark that can be summoned by a Master Ball, taking the letdown up to eleven.
158* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: Goldeen's horn used to be larger, before gender differences in Pokémon were introduced. After they were, its horn was made smaller like a female's.

160[[folder:Starmie]]
161[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/71a0c71910da8cfdd99f47eb579acac4.gif]]
162->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
163->'''Appears in:''' ''64''
164->'''Move used:''' Swift
165->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/IkueOtani
166
167The Mysterious Pokémon, Starmie's central core is known to glow in seven colors, giving it the nickname of "gem of the sea". It will hover for a bit before rapidly firing projectiles across the screen.
168----
169* BeamSpam: It uses Swift to rapidly fire projectiles.
170* NoGender: Starmie is a genderless Pokémon.
171* PutOnABus: Replaced by Staryu in all of the sequels.
172[[/folder]]
173[[folder:Snorlax (Kabigon)]]
174[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snorlax_ssbu.png]]
175->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
176->'''Appears in:''' ''64'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''[=3DS=]/Wii U'', ''Ultimate''
177->'''Move used:''' Body Slam
178->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Haigney (English), Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), Thomas Rau (German)
179
180The Sleeping Pokémon, Snorlax is known to be the heaviest of the original 151 Pokémon. Its daily routine consists of it doing nothing except sleeping and eating, but when it's called into battle, it's more than capable of holding its own. It will jump above the screen before falling back down.
181----
182* BellyFlopCrushing: It attacks using Body Slam.
183* SizeShifter: Snorlax suddenly grows in size when it falls back down.
184[[/folder]]
185[[folder:Mew]]
186[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mew_ssbu.png]]
187->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
188->'''Appears in:''' ''64'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''[=3DS=]/Wii U'', ''Ultimate''
189->'''Move used:''' Fly
190->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KoichiYamadera
191
192The New Species Pokémon with a varying connection to Mewtwo[[note]]in the anime, Mewtwo is an enhanced clone of Mew, while in the games, Mew "gave birth" to Mewtwo before Mewtwo was genetically modified[[/note]]. Said to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, it is capable of learning just about any move that any other Pokémon could learn. In ''Smash'', however, Mew just flies away after being summoned, though it does provide the summoner with a different bonus depending on the game. In ''64'' and ''Melee'', it gives its summoner the "Mew Catcher" bonus, which raises the player's score in Single Player and bonus battles. In ''Brawl'', it drops [=CDs=] or stickers if players already collected every CD. In ''3DS/Wii U'', it does the same thing; just replace "stickers" with "custom gear". In ''Ultimate'', Mew doesn't do anything aside of appearing.
193----
194* JunkRare: [[invoked]] Made into one in ''Ultimate''. Due to bonuses not being a thing since ''Brawl'', and collectible items no longer appearing in proper gameplay, Mew now does absolutely nothing when summoned. Despite this, [[TheArtifact it still has the lowest spawn rate of any Poké Ball summon]].
195* OlympusMons: Mew is a Mythical Pokémon that is said to be the ancestor of all Pokémon. It's also ''very'' hard to summon.
196* PowerupLetdown: While some of the gifts Mew gives you are quite nice, it doesn't benefit the summoner in battle. In ''Ultimate'', Mew's about as helpful as Goldeen.
197[[/folder]]
198!Debuting in ''Melee''
199[[folder:Venusaur (Fushigibana)]]
200[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/venusaur_ssbm.png]]
201->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
202->'''Appears in:''' ''64 (stage hazard)'', ''Melee''
203->'''Move used:''' Earthquake
204->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricStuart (English), Creator/UnshoIshizuka (Japanese)
205
206The Seed Pokémon and final evolution of the Kanto Grass-type starter, Bulbasaur, the plant on Venusaur's back has bloomed into a giant flower which is used to store and convert sunlight. He will start creating an earthquake around itself.
207----
208* AscendedExtra: He's also a stage hazard on the Saffron City stage in the original ''Smash Bros''.
209* DishingOutDirt: Despite being a Grass-Type, he attacks using Earthquake as a Poké Ball Pokémon in ''Melee''.
210* GreenThumb: Used Razor Leaf to attack opponents with sharp leaves when he was a stage hazard on the Saffron City stage.
211* PutOnABus: It disappears from the lineup after ''Melee'', though Mega Venusaur is an obtainable trophy. Its pre-evolved form Ivysaur is still playable, however.
212* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: This Venusaur can be identified as a male due to not having a seed growing out of his flower. However, considering ''Melee'' was released before ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' made that distinction (so was ''64'', but that was before genders were even introduced), it's only really in hindsight.
213* TheBusCameBack: He returns as a Primary Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
214[[/folder]]
215[[folder:Electrode (Marumine)]]
216[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/electrodetrophywiiu.png]]
217->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
218->'''Appears in:''' ''64 (stage enemy)'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''3DS/Wii U'', ''Ultimate''
219->'''Move used:''' Explosion
220
221The Ball Pokémon, Electrode's high electricity storage makes it incredibly volatile and prone to blowing up at a moment's notice. These powerful explosions can even hurt its summoner. In ''Brawl'' and onwards, Electrode will sometimes fail to explode for a while before resuming, allowing a fighter to pick it up and throw it at an opponent.
222----
223* ActionBomb: It uses Explosion to create a powerful blast that hurts everyone.
224* AscendedExtra: It was also an enemy/stage hazard on the Saffron City stage on the original N64 game, behaving much like it did in subsequent games.
225* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's possible to KO its summoner by picking up Electrode and throwing it at them, but beware as it can blow up in your face.
226* LethalJokeItem: Subverted. Only the duds are this, and they can quickly restart their countdown and explode.
227* NoGender: Electrode and its pre-evolution Voltorb don't have genders.
228* ThrowDownTheBomblet: When Electrode is about to explode or fails to explode, anyone can pick it up and throw it.
229[[/folder]]
230[[folder:Weezing (Matadogas)]]
231[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/weezing_ssbm_0.png]]

234->'''Move used:''' Smog
235->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricStuart (English), Creator/UnshoIshizuka (Japanese), Gergard Jilka (German)
236
237The Poison Gas Pokémon and the evolved form of Koffing, Weezing forms when the gases of two Koffing cause them to fuse. It lives off of unhealthy materials such as dust and poisonous gases. It uses Smog to damage opponents who get near it with poisonous gas.
238----
239* PoisonousPerson: Attacks with Smog, much like Koffing.
240* PutOnABus: Unlike Koffing, Weezing doesn't return for another installment at all.
241* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Functions essentially like Koffing did in ''64''.
242* TheBusCameBack: Returns not as a summonable Pokémon, but as a Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
243[[/folder]]
244[[folder:Staryu (Hitodeman)]]

248->'''Move used:''' Swift
249->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinichiroMiki
250
251The Star Shape Pokémon and pre-evolved form of Starmie, Staryu is known to repeatedly regain its appendages whenever they're lost. It hovers around before shooting a rapid stream of projectiles.
252----
253* NoGender: Just like its evolved form, Staryu doesn't have a gender.
254* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: It functions exactly like its evolved form Starmie.

256[[folder:Articuno (Freezer)]]
257[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/articuno_ssbm.png]]
258->'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' [Platform/GameBoy], 1996
259->'''Appears in:''' ''Melee''
260->'''Move used:''' Icy Wind
261
262The Freeze Pokémon and one of the Legendary Birds of Kanto, Articuno freezes the water in the atmosphere to create snow, and it is said to appear before those that get lost on snowy mountains. It uses Icy Wind to attack opponents close to it, freezing them and dealing heavy knockback.
263----
264* AnIcePerson: It uses Icy Wind to freeze people.
265* DemotedToExtra: It's never seen as a summon outside of ''Melee''. If it is seen at all, it's usually as a trophy. It also returns as an equippable Primary Spirit alongside Zapdos and Moltres in ''Ultimate''.
266* OlympusMons: Articuno is a Legendary Pokémon, making it much more powerful than the other Poké Ball summons.
267[[/folder]]
268[[folder:Zapdos (Thunder)]]
269[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zapdos_ssbm.png]]

274The Electric Pokémon and one of the Legendary Birds of Kanto, Zapdos is said to create powerful thunderstorms by flapping its wings. It immobilizes nearby opponents while racking up damage.
275----
276* DemotedToExtra: If it ever appears after ''Melee'', it's usually as a trophy. It also appears on ''3DS'' and ''Ultimate's'' Lumiose Tower stage on occasion. It also returns as an equippable Primary Spirit alongside Articuno and Moltres in ''Ultimate''.
277* OlympusMons: Part of the same group as Articuno and Moltres.
278* ShockAndAwe: Uses Thunder Shock to completely immobilize enemies as it damages them.

290* OlympusMons: It's one of the Legendary Birds like Articuno and Zapdos.
291* SimpleYetAwesome: Moltres doesn't really use any moves when it's summoned, instead simply flying upwards and burning fighters with its body.

299
300The Leaf Pokémon and Grass-type starter of Johto, Chikorita enjoys basking in sunlight and constantly emits a sweet aroma from the leaf on its head. It fires a series of sharp leaves at opponents.
301----
302* GreenThumb: Uses Razor Leaf to attack opponents with sharp leaves.
303* PowerTrio: At ''Brawl''[='=]s release, there were only 4 Pokémon Generations. All of the Gen I Starter Pokemon were playable, so they took the Grass Type Starter from Gen II, Fire from Gen III, and Water from Gen IV. This is also a ShoutOut to the Pokédex order the three types come in.
304* PutOnABus: Was replaced with Snivy in the fourth installment. [[TheBusCameBack It came back]] in ''Ultimate'', but only as an equippable Primary Spirit.
305* RecurringElement: While a Pokémon who attacked the player using sharp razor leaves did not exist as a Poké Ball Pokémon, the concept was born with Venusaur from the original Smash Bros.

314
315The Fire Mouse Pokémon and Fire-type starter of Johto, Cyndaquil is timid and curls into a ball most of the time. When attacked however, its back flares up for protection. In ''Smash'', it uses these very flames to attack.
316----
317* InvincibleMinorMinion: Averted, Cyndaquil is one of the few Poké Ball summons that can be defeated.
318* PlayingWithFire: It uses Flamethrower through the flames on its back.
319* PutOnABus: ''Melee'' was the only game it was a summon in.

327->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatomiKoorogi
328
329The Spike Ball Pokémon, Togepi is a Fairy-type[[note]]Previously a Normal-type prior to Generation VI[[/note]] said to be a symbol of good luck, and its shell a symbol of happiness. It is a natural user of Metronome much like Clefairy, though the moves it uses specialize in hindering your opponents as opposed to direct damage.
330----
331* CastingAShadow: Night Shade. The screen will briefly FadeToBlack, obscuring everything.
332* ConfusionFu: Just like Clefairy, the effect is randomized.
333* DamageOverTime: Leech Seed will cause nearby opponents to sustain constant damage until the flower comes off.
334* DishingOutDirt: Magnitude. In this case, it causes the opponents to be stuck in the ground.
335* ForcedSleep: Sleep Powder puts whoever's close to Togepi to sleep, making them easy pickings.
336* AnIcePerson: Powder Snow freezes opponents, leaving them wide open for a powerful attack.
337* InterfaceScrew: Night Shade renders the screen completely black, making it impossible to see anything.
338* PowerupLetdown: If Togepi uses Night Shade, the InterfaceScrew affects everyone -- including its summoner.
339* RandomEffectSpell: Togepi's attack, Metronome, will randomly use one of five preselected moves -- Leech Seed, Powder Snow, Sleep Powder, Magnitude, and Night Shade -- making its use something of a gamble.
340* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Its Japanese name is the same as its English name, but with a "y" instead of an "i".

348->'''Voiced by:''' Jamie Peacock (English), Mayumi Iizuka (Japanese)
349
350The Flower Pokémon and one of the Oddish line's evolutionary branches alongside Vileplume, Bellossom is known to gather with its peers and perform a dance to summon the sun. Their petals rub together when they do, creating a relaxing sound. In ''Smash'', Bellossom uses Sweet Scent to put opponents to sleep.
351----
352* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In the ''Pokémon'' games, Sweet Scent doesn't put opponents to sleep, it lowers their evasion. This is especially odd as its pre-evolved forms, Oddish and Gloom, can naturally learn Sleep Powder.
353* StatusEffects: Causes anyone who touches the cloud it creates to fall asleep.

363This Aqua Mouse Pokémon's tail acts as a buoy, allowing it to swim without fear of drowning. Marill runs across the stage, damaging and flinching everyone who touches it.
364----
365* InvincibleMinorMinion: Averted, it's one of the few Poké Ball Pokémon that can be defeated.
366* PutOnABus: Is more or less replaced by Piplup and Oshawott in the sequels.

374->'''Move used:''' Hidden Power
375
376The Symbol Pokémon, Unown are based on the Latin alphabet, leading to their very shapes becoming a form of writing. Alone, Unown aren't very powerful, but many of them in the same place are comparable to even Legendary Pokémon. Summoning a single Unown will cause an entire swarm of Unown to swarm the screen, hitting their opponents as they go.
377----
378* TheBusCameBack: Unown returns as a Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
379* PutOnABus: Unown disappears as a Poké Ball Pokémon after its debut installment.
380* RecurringElement: It attacks by a solo unit running off screen, and then a swarm rushing from one side of the screen to the other. In effect, it replaces Beedrill (who would swarm horizontally) and Onix (who would drop rocks vertically) as well as going diagonally.
381* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Unown is just "unknown", but [[XtremeKoolLetterz with the "k" and one "n" removed from the name]].
382* ZergRush: Just like Beedrill before it, Unown flies off the screen to call on its friends, whereupon they swarm the screen.

389->'''Voiced by:''' Jamie Peacock (English), Creator/YujiUeda (Japanese), John-Alexander Döring (German)
390
391The Patient Pokémon, Wobbuffet is rarely a direct attacker, preferring instead to dish out twice as much damage as its opponents. it lives in dark caves in order to conceal its tail. True to its species' name, Wobbuffet stands still and uses Counter if anything hits it, causing Wobbuffet to wobble back and forth and hit the opponent back.
392----
393* TheBusCameBack: Wobbuffet returns as a Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
394* CollisionDamage: Wobbuffet can only damage people that touch it.
395* CounterAttack: Wobbuffet uses Counter to deal more damage if it's been struck by a powerful attack. Conversely, it deals little to no damage if it's hit with a weak attack or not hit at all.
396* EyesAlwaysShut: Its eyes are perpetually squinted shut. [[spoiler:Or so it seems. It turns out those things that appear to be closed eyes are just decoy markings. Its actual eyes are hidden on its tail.]]
397* FriendlyFireproof: Averted: not only can the summoner hit Wobbuffet, Wobbuffet can also hurt the summoner if they touch it.
398* PowerupLetdown: Wobbuffet is the only non-Legendary Pokémon that can appear in the event match "Legendary Pokémon" in ''Melee''. Needless to say, it's pretty underwhelming.
399* PutOnABus: Wobbuffet ceases to appear from Pokéballs after ''Brawl''.
400* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Female Wobbuffet distinguish themselves from males by just putting on lipstick. Since this one doesn't have any, it's a male.

408
409The Pincer Pokémon and evolved form of previously-evolutionless Scyther, Scizor losts its ability to fly but gained a lot more power in the process. Its powerful pincers are also designed to look like extra heads, which allows it to scare its opponents. Scizor flies around the area, slashing people with its pincers.
410----
411* BigCreepyCrawlies: It's a humanoid insect the size of the human fighters.
412* TheBusCameBack: Scizor disappears after ''Melee'' before returning in ''Ultimate''.
413* DemotedToExtra: Scizor appears in ''3DS/Wii U''[='=]s Kalos Pokémon League's Steel Chamber background. This appearance is retained in ''Ultimate'' despite Scizor's return to being a Poké Ball summon.
414* ExtraOreDinary: It's a Steel-type that uses Metal Claw to slash people with its metallic pincers.
415* RecurringElement: Scizor appears and then jumps towards a targeted opponent a moment later. It essentially replaces Hitmonlee's role from the previous game, only running for a little before the jump instead of standing still.
416* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: In ''Melee'', it has a [[HartmanHips larger thorax]] before genders were introduced, meaning it could have been female (though ''Melee'' was released before gender differences existed in the ''Pokémon'' games. ''Ultimate''[='s=] Scizor has a smaller one, making it a male.
417* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Melee'', it only charged forward, then did a jump attack before leaving the stage. In ''Ultimate'', it doesn't have its jump attack anymore, but it lasts longer and has a ''much'' more aggressive series of claw swipes instead of the simple charge it had beforehand.

425The Virtual Pokémon, [=Porygon2=] is an upgraded version of Porygon given a greater artificial intelligence and designed to fly through space, though its inability to fly made this dream a flop. It quickly charges forward upon being summoned, dealing considerable knockback to any opponents that get hit.
426----
427* ArtificialHuman: [=Porygon2=] is notable for being a man-made Pokémon.
428* CallBack: It appears and then charges forward just like Porygon did as a stage hazard in ''64'', only with electricity effects added.

437The Thunder Pokémon and one of the Legendary Beasts of Johto, Raikou embodies the speed of lighting, its roars sending thunder-like shock waves through the air and ground. It creates sparks of electricity that damages opponents and bounces them into the air.
438----
439* DemotedToExtra: After being a summon in ''Melee'', it disappears entirely for ''Brawl'', only to be brought back in ''3DS/Wii U'' as a trophy. It also returns as an equippable Primary Spirit alongside Entei and Suicune in ''Ultimate''.
440* OlympusMons: A Legendary Pokémon, much like Entei and Suicune.

460The Aurora Pokémon, one of the Legendary Beasts of Johto, and the mascot of ''Pokémon Crystal'', Suicune has the power to purify even the filthiest waters, and it is said that north winds blow whenever it appears. Suicune has functioned differently throughout the series. In ''Melee'', it created a snowstorm that traps and freezes opponents, while in ''Brawl'' onward, it shoots a powerful horizontal beam.
461----
462* AnIcePerson: In ''Melee'', it uses Blizzard to trap and freeze enemies, while in ''Brawl'' and every game since, it uses Aurora Beam to strike from afar.

473----
474* BlowYouAway: Aeroblast deals a lot of damage and has insane knockback, practically guaranteeing a KO.

484The Rainbow Pokémon, master of the Legendary Beasts, and mascot of ''Pokémon Gold'', Ho-Oh is said to continuously fly around on its multi-colored wings. It reveals itself only to those who are pure of heart, forming a rainbow as it flies overhead, and its appearance is said to bring eternal happiness. It creates a massive column of fire that deals a ton of damage to anyone caught in it.
485----
486* DemotedToExtra: Played with. It wasn't around in the ''3DS'' version of the fourth game. It is just a background in the ''Wii U'' Kalos League stage. Now why is it played with? Ho-Oh is a "special" background Pokémon like Registeel, Rayquaza, and Manaphy. Rather than simply being in the background, they actually affect the stage. In Ho-Oh's case, it made the fire pillars of the fire room bigger and spawns additional fire pillars on the side. In ''Ultimate'', Ho-Oh also makes an appearance as an equippable Support Spirit.
487* OlympusMons: It's a powerful, one-of-a-kind Pokémon that is said to have created Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.
488* PlayingWithFire: It uses Sacred Fire to trap opponents while dealing an obscene amount of damage.

497The Time Travel Pokémon, Celebi hails from the future and is known to cause grass and trees to flourish wherever it goes. When it appears, the future is said to become bright. Like Mew, Celebi doesn't fight, instead providing the "Celebi Catcher" bonus to boost the player's score. In ''Brawl'', Celebi instead drops three trophies upon appearing.
498----
499* DemotedToExtra: Celebi is made a mere trophy in ''3DS/Wii U'', and an equippable Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
500* OlympusMons: It's a Legendary Pokémon that can travel through time, and is a very rare summon.

512----
513* PlayingWithFire: Uses Fire Spin to damage enemies and trap them.
514* PowerTrio: At ''Brawl's'' release, there were only 4 Pokémon Generations. All of the Gen I starter Pokémon were playable, so they took a Grass Type from Gen II, a Fire Type from Gen III, and a Water Type from Gen IV. This is also a ShoutOut to the Pokédex order the three types come in.
515* PutOnABus: Disappears after ''Brawl''.
516* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: If you look behind its trophy, you'll notice it doesn't have a black dot on its rear like males do. Torchic is, therefore, female.

This particular Pokémon is smarter than even a supercomputer. It attacks by stomping the ground, either burying enemies or launching them.

575
576The Sea Basin Pokémon, one of the Weather Trio, and mascot of ''Pokémon Sapphire'', Kyogre has the power to cause massive downpours wherever it goes, having fought with Groudon in ages past. It fires powerful streams of water to push opponents off the stage.
577----
578* MakingASplash: It uses Hydro Pump to push enemies off the stage. Although it doesn't do any damage, it expels it with so much force that it can easily lead to a KO.
579* OlympusMons: In Pokémon lore, Kyogre can summon enough rain to submerge land and expand the seas.

587
588The Continent Pokémon, one of the Weather Trio, and mascot of ''Pokémon Ruby'', Groudon has the power to raise continents and make rain evaporate, feuding with Kyogre in the past. It uses its scorching body to damage anyone who touches it.
589----
590* CollisionDamage: This is the only way Groudon can damage enemies, but its immense size means opponents have a hard time avoiding it.
591* DemotedToExtra: Even though Kyogre is still a summon in ''3DS/Wii U'', Groudon only appears as a trophy.
592* OlympusMons: In Pokémon lore, Groudon is so powerful it can dry up the seas and expand landmasses.
593* PlayingWithFire: Although it's actually a Ground-type[[note]]though its Primal form in the remakes is part Fire-type, but that was well after ''Brawl''[[/note]], Groudon uses Overheat to burn enemies that touch it.
594* TheBusCameBack: Returns not as a summonable Pokémon, but as a Spirit in ''Ultimate''.

603The Wish Pokémon, Jirachi sleeps for 1,000 years and can grant any wish attached to its head for the one week it's awake. It flies away while dropping stickers.
604----
605* DemotedToExtra: Is just a trophy in ''3DS/Wii U'', and an equippable Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
606* OlympusMons: It's powerful enough to grant people's wishes. Not quite the case here, unless you really wanted stickers.
607* PowerupLetdown: Jirachi provides no benefits in battle to the summoner.

615
616The DNA Pokémon, Deoxys is an extraterrestrial that crashed to Earth on a meteorite. Aside from its normal appearance, Deoxys also has three extra forms based on around attack, defense, and speed. The Attack Forme is what appears in ''Smash'', and it will fly up and use Hyper Beam to fire a laser straight down.
617----
618* OlympusMons: It's a Mythical Pokémon and thus a very rare summon.
619* OneHitKill: Hyper Beam is so powerful even someone at 0% damage can be One-Hit KO'd by it.
620* StarfishAliens: Deoxys came from a meteorite and it looks very strange.

628
629The Penguin Pokémon and Water-type starter of Sinnoh, Piplup is a proud creature that doesn't like being taken care of, and is known for its incredible swimming skills. It uses Surf to slide across the stage, trapping anyone who gets caught in it.
630----
631* DemotedToExtra: Is replaced by Oshawott and made a background character in ''3DS/Wii U'', though became an equippable Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
632* MakingASplash: Uses Surf to trap opponents as it travels across the stage.
633* PowerTrio: At ''Brawl's'' release, there were only 4 Pokémon Generations. All of the Gen I starter Pokémon were playable, so they took a Grass Type from Gen II, a Fire Type from Gen III, and a Water Type from Gen IV. This is also a ShoutOut to the Pokédex order the three types come in.
634* RecurringElement: A small Water-type that appears and drags the opponent off stage with it. A reprise of Marill's role in ''Melee'' with water effects added.
635* TakingYouWithMe: If an opponent is caught in the stream, it's an instant KO if Piplup leaves the stage.

644
645The Bonsai Pokémon and pre-evolved form of Sudowoodo, Bonsly is actually a Rock-type despite looking like a plotted plant. It adjusts its fluid levels by eliminating excess, which makes Bonsly look like it's always crying. It will walk back and forth when summoned, allowing any player to pick Bonsly up and throw it at enemies.
646----
647* GrievousHarmWithABody: Bonsly attacks by getting picked up and thrown at opponents.
648* LethalJokeCharacter: By itself, Bonsly does nothing. Throwing him, on the other hand, is another story.
649* PutOnABus: After ''Brawl'', it's never seen again.

659The Big Eater Pokémon and the pre-evolved form of Snorlax, Munchlax is no less of a constant eater than its evolution. It wanders across the stage eating anything it finds.
660----
661* ExtremeOmnivore: Munchlax will eat anything but Trophies, [=CDs=], Stickers, Mr. Saturns, Poké Balls, and Smash Balls.
662* PowerupLetdown: Provides no benefit in battle, instead getting rid of any item it finds.

672
673The Sharp Claw Pokémon and evolved form of Sneasel, Weavile is a devious hunter that lives in cold regions and hunts in small groups, carving patterns in trees with its sharp claws as a signal to others. It uses False Swipe to dash back and forth to stun opponents.
674----
675* PutOnABus: It's completely absent from the installments after ''Brawl'', with Zoroark apparently taking its place in ''[=3DS/Wii U=]'' and ''Ultimate''.
676* ScratchDamage: It only deals 1% damage with each attack, but it also leaves the opponent stunned. If Weavile hits an airborne opponent, however, it can deal surprisingly high knockback.
677* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: Male Weavile have larger ear feathers, which seems to apply to this one.

686
687The Seafaring Pokémon, Manaphy is made of 80% water and has the power to bond with any Pokémon. It uses Heart Swap to switch two fighters' bodies. Also appears in ''For Wii U's'' Kalos Pokémon League, where it turns the stage into a giant sinkhole in the Flood Chamber.
688----
689* DemotedToExtra: Only appears as a stage background in ''For Wii U''[='s=] Kalos Pokémon League, which reappeared in ''Ultimate''. Played with, however, in that it is a special background Pokémon as mentioned in its description. See also Ho-Oh above. It also makes an appearance as an equippable Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''.
690* FreakyFridayFlip: Causes fighters to swap bodies when summoned.
691* NoGender: An interesting case, as legendary Pokémon are usually unable to breed, yet Manaphy can mate with a Ditto to make Phione.
692* OlympusMons: A Mythical Pokémon, and thus a rare summon.

701
702The Evolution Pokémon, Eevee's irregularly configured DNA allows it to evolve into either Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon through varying means. Since evolution isn't a thing Poké Ball summons do, Eevee instead attacks by slamming into enemies.
703----

711->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese), Bill Rogers (English)
712
713The Frost Tree Pokémon, Abomasnow is ''the'' abominable snowman of the Pokémon world. If there's a mountain covered in an intense blizzard, this Pokémon is likely the cause. It attacks by freezing opponents with Blizzard and hitting them with Ice Punch them.
714----
715* AnIcePerson: It can create an icy storm to freeze enemies.
716* AscendedExtra: Its pre-evolution Snover originally appeared in the background of the Pokémon Stadium 2 stage in ''Brawl''.
717* ElementalPunch: It can also punch its opponents with a chunk of ice.
718* KillItWithFire: While the Abomasnow that can be summoned via Poké Ball averts this, being immune to attacks, the Donkey Kong that's used to represent the Frost Tree Pokémon in the Spirit Battle takes extra damage from Fire attacks and the Spirit itself increases the damage the player takes from Fire attacks as a reference to Abomasnow being 4x weak to Fire attacks in the games, being an Ice/Grass-type.
719* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: Females have larger chest fur than males. And surprisingly, this one applies for the former. The Abomasnow you summon to the battlefield is, indeed, [[BrawnHilda female]].

726
727The Spatial Pokémon and a member of the Creation Trio, Palkia has the power to distort space, making it more stable with every breath. It attacks enemies and messes with the scenery of the stage.
728----
729* AscendedExtra: Much like Venusaur and Electrode, it went from enemy/stage hazard in their original ''Smash'' debut to a Poké Ball Pokémon in a later installment.
730* CollisionDamage: Simply touching Palkia will damage the opponent.
731* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: In ''Brawl'', the sky in Spear Pillar will be purple if Palkia is due to appear.
732* DevelopersForesight: Cannot spawn from Poké Balls on Spear Pillar due to it already being a hazard on the stage. It also cannot be summoned when Skull Kid is active, due to both having InterfaceScrew effects that could conflict with each other.
733* InterfaceScrew: Spatial Rend is capable of mirroring the stage, or even flipping it a full 180. Watch your step!
734* OlympusMons: The representation of space itself.
735* ShoutOut: Just like its appearance in ''Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai'', Palkia's cry uses the sound effect of Boga from ''Franchise/StarWars: Episode III - Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
736* SpaceMaster: Its powers revolve around manipulating space.

It carries several plates that it can use to change its typing, truly living up to the title of "{{God}} of Pokémon". In ''Smash'', it causes airborne opponents to rocket downward with Gravity.
769----
770* GravityMaster: Arceus uses Gravity to send enemies in the air plummeting down, making it very dangerous if there isn't any solid ground beneath them.
771* OlympusMons: It's the biggest one in the whole Pokémon franchise, as Arceus is said to have created the universe.
772* PhysicalGod: It's the creator deity of the ''Pokémon'' universe.

Victini increases the power of its summoner's attacks as well as making them ImmuneToFlinching with Victory Star. In ''Ultimate'', it instead grants them their [[LimitBreak Final Smash]].
783----
784* LimitBreak: Grants the summoner their respective Final Smash in ''Ultimate'' then immediately leaves.
785* OlympusMons: Victini has an unlimited supply of energy inside itself and is a symbol of victory, as whoever has Victini on their side will always win.
