'''Swap''' ({{ja|チェンジ|Chenji}}, ''Change''), officially referred to as '''Swap to Mythra''' ({{ja|ヒカリチェンジ|Hikari Chenji}}, ''Hikari Change'') and '''Swap to Pyra''' ({{ja|ホムラチェンジ|Homura Chenji}}, ''Homura Change''), is [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]]'s [[down special move]]. It allows Pyra and Mythra to turn into each other, in the same fashion as [[Zelda]] and [[Sheik]]'s Transform in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''.

{{Incomplete|Need to add Japanese quotes for swapping between Pyra and Mythra.}}
Like [[Transform]] in ''Melee'', Swap is a very fast switch between Pyra and Mythra. The move is fairly fast to complete, allowing Pyra/Mythra to act earlier than Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon after [[Pokémon Change]], and having no cooldown for each transformation; unlike with Pokémon Change, however, Pyra/Mythra are granted [[intangibility]] for a shorter duration, starting from frame 6 instead of frame 1. Additionally, both characters maintain their drift when using the move, greatly circumventing potential momentum loss, especially in the case of Mythra swapping to Pyra.  
Like [[Transform]] in ''Melee'', Swap is a very fast switch between Pyra and Mythra that also provides [[intangibility]]. Also, unlike Transform and [[Pokémon Change]] in ''Brawl'', swapping between Pyra and Mythra does not require the new form to be loaded from the console's cartridge/internal storage/SD card, since the game simultaneously loads the data for both Pyra and Mythra before starting a match.

Both have quotes they will say when swapping to the other:

After both Pyra and Mythra become usable in Chapter 5 of ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', the player can freely swap between these two forms of [[Rex]]'s primary Blade during battle to use their unique abilities and special moves, without having to endure any of the cooldown associated with swapping between entirely different Blades during combat. This mechanic was recreated in the context of ''Smash''. The names "Swap to Mythra" and "Swap to Pyra" are directly from the in-game menu prompt that allows the player to swap between them outside of battle.

Additionally, Mythra's "You're done" quote heard when swapping from Pyra to Mythra in ''Ultimate'' is a reference to one of the numerous infamous battle voice lines frequently uttered by Ardainian Soldiers at certain points in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''.
