Super Smash Bros. Melee/Pokémon

Pokémon List
The PokéBall item can unleash one of several possible Pokémon onto the battlefield. Generally they'll inflict damage to everybody except for the person who releases them, but there are a few exceptions.

Spoiler Warning! The following chart is free of spoilers, but if you scroll below it, you will reach a section on secret Pokémon, and it contains spoilers.


 * Here is an alphabetical list of the Pokémon, their Japanese names, and the attacks their motions are based on and how they attack.
 * Boldfaced Pokémon are legendary, which makes then very rare and usually extremely powerful.

Secret Pokémon
There are two secret Pokémon in the game, which after unlocked have a 1/150 chance of coming out of a Pokéball. They don't aid in battle, but they do have other benefits, which are stated in the graph below.


 * Mew - To unlock Mew, simply unlock every character. You will then have a small chance to find Mew.
 * Celebi - To unlock Celebi, you will have to unlock every stage, as well as the secret modes Sound Test and Score Display. You will have had to unlock every character to accomplish this.

Pokémon Trivia

 * In Event Match #37: Legendary Pokémon, the Pokéballs, which are the only available item, are rigged to only release Wobbuffet or one of the Legendary Pokémon: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lugia, Ho-oh, Raikou, Suicune, Entei, and if unlocked, Mew or Celebi.
 * Ditto was also to appear in this game, but the programmers took him out because it was too glitchy. It would transform into your character and aid you side by side in combat for a while. You can still see it, however, if you use the debug mode, via Action Replay.
 * Chansey, Marill and Cyndaquil can be destroyed (even by the one who released them) by player attacks before completing their own attack.
 * You can get some of the Pokémon to say their Japanese names in different voices by switching the language to Japanese.
 * When an Electrode is released, he can be picked up just as if it were a Bob-bomb and thrown right before he explodes.
