Pokémon Characters

Super Smash Brothers Melee features four playable Pokémon characters: Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu, and Mewtwo.

Pikachu

Pikachu is a very fast character and pretty easy to knock of the stage due to his lightweight. Here are his attacks as follows in Super Smash Brothers Melee:

• A: Headbutt
• A while Dashing: Running Headbutt

• Down+A (in air): Electric Screw
• B: Thunder Jolt-A ball of electricity will slinky across a level until it hits something or shorts out.
• Up+B: Quick Attack-Pikachu will teleport in the direction you want up to two times. This counts as a Fourth jump and pikachu will unable to do any moves until it grabs a ledge or falls onto solid ground.
• Down+B:-Thunder-An extremely short-range attack. A Thundercloud will strike a bolt strait down, hitting the highest platform on the stage. It will land from the spot of the execution of the move; if it hits Pikachu, it will splash-damage opponents around him as well.

Pichu

Pichu's attacks are identical to Pikachu's, although Pichu damages itself while using electric themed attacks. Pichu is really fast, actually one of the fastest, but is also lighter and easier to send flying. Pichu's attacks are as follows in Super Smash Brothers Melee:

• A: Generic attack.
• Up+A:
• Side+A: Headbutt
• Down+A:
• B: Thundershock
• Up+B: Quick Attack-Same as Pikachu. Pichu can sustain up to two to three damage.
• Down+B: Thunder
• Side+B:
• Taunts: "Pichu!" Pichu does a happy wiggle on the floor.

Mewtwo

Mewtwo is surprisingly easy to send flying in the air and has a very delayed jump reaction. He is more of a technical character and a very good teammate when he is with Ganondorf, Capt. Falcon, or Ness.

• A: Dark Flash
• Rapidly tap A: Dark Flame
• A while Dashing: Dark Torch
• Up+A: Flip
• Side+A: Tail Whip

• Up+B: Teleport - Mewtwo teleports once in the direction of your choice. It can't go through thick floors, however, and the teleport transition is slow.
• Down+B: Disable - Short Range attack that temporary disables the opponent, rendering it unable to move. Aids in timing for a throw; also for releasing a charged Shadow Ball.
• Side+B: Confusion-Short Range. The opponent is turned around, causing damage.
• Taunt: "Hahaha!"-Mewtwo twirls around, laughing sinisterly.

Jigglypuff

• A: Generic Attack
• Up+A:

• B: Rollout
• Up+B: Sing
• Side+B: Pound- A quick punch foward.

Poké Ball Pokémon

One of the items your character is able to pick up in Super Smash Brothers Melee is the Poké Ball, with it you can summon numerous Pokémon that fight against your enemies. These pokémon and their effects in the game are listed below:

Venusaur	Similar to DK's Down + B attack, Venusaur causes an Earthquake around him that causes all characters touching the ground to go flying.
Charizard	Similar to the fire flower, this Pokémon uses the Flamethrower attack when released. He alternates between shooting it left and right.
Blastoise	This Pokémon uses the Hydro Pump attack when it comes out.
Clefairy	Uses Metronome to use a random attack like Togepi, but typically does a lot more damage.
Electrode	Very similar to the Bob-omb, Electrode uses Explosion after 3 seconds. You can throw him in the last second or so if you're quick enough.
Weezing	Emits Poison Gas and juggles and person that comes in close contact.
Chansey	Uses Softboiled to releases eggs that may contain additional items.
Goldeen	No effect, just flops around. Possibly using Splash, though it doesn't learn it like Magikarp or Feebas.
Staryu	Chases after the nearest opponent, then locks itself into position and shoots Swift.
Snorlax	Flies up into the air and descends over a large area of the screen using Body Slam. Any character who comes in contact with Snorlax in either direction is sent flying.
Articuno	Uses the Blizzard attack. Anyone in the attack range when Articuno unleases this attack will be frozen for a few seconds.
Zapdos	Uses the Thundershock attack. Anything in the attack range will be hit by several electrical surges, and sustain quite a bit of damage.

Mew	No effect, but earns bonus points in One Player and bonus modes.
Chikorita	When released, unleashes a fury of Razor Leaf attacks hitting anyone in its path.
Cyndaquil	Similar to Charizard, unleashes the Flamethrower attack, but only does so in one direction. It can be hit off the screen with a strong enough attack.
Togepi	Has several attacks that are randomly selected with Metronome, all with different effects. The screen can black-out due to Night Shade, opponents can be driven into the ground by Magnitude, fall asleep due to Sing, or end up with Leech Seed
Bellossom	Puts any nearby characters into a deep sleep with Sleep Powder.
Marill	Runs across the stage using Tackle, juggling any opponents briefly.
Unown	Flies across the screen, returning with a large swarm of Unown moving in a random direction. Any character caught in the storm is damaged and juggled.

Entei	Fire Spin attack, trapping anyone who lands in it and dealing a lot of damage.
