While the effect of type effectiveness is minor in ''Brawl'', it is not insignificant. Those who play [[mirror match]]es with Pokémon Trainer will try to abuse this mechanic whenever possible, as not only will their main KO attacks be reduced in power when facing their counter, they become more susceptible to their opponent's. It also has a severe effect on matches against other characters: while no other character can use Grass or Water attacks (aside from {{SSBB|Kirby}}'s [[copy|copied]] [[Bullet Seed]] | While the effect of type effectiveness is minor in ''Brawl'', it is not insignificant.

It also has a severe effect on matches against other characters: while no other character can use Grass or Water attacks (aside from {{SSBB|Kirby}}'s [[copy|copied]] [[Bullet Seed]], [[Water Gun]], or {{SSBB|Mario}}'s non-damaging [[F.L.U.D.D.]]), 13 characters<!--Mario fsmash, Luigi FJP, Zelda uair, Samus dtilt, ZSS Whip tip, Dedede Jet Hammer, Charizard tail tips, Falcon, Ike Eruption, GW fsmash, Red Pikmin, ROB burners, Snake fsmash--> have KO-worthy fire attacks, which overall gives Squirtle more survivability and cuts Ivysaur's noticeably. It should also be noted that an opposite benefit can happen with weak multi-hitting attacks such as [[Flamethrower]] or [[PK Fire]]; Ivysaur's extra knockback will allow it to escape the attack easier, while Squirtle will likely stay trapped for longer. Similar behaviour manifests in the [[Subspace Emissary]]; no enemies wield Grass attacks and only Hydro [[Jyk]]s use Water attacks, whereas several enemies and bosses possess flame attacks. | ||
