 * Youngster Joey calls for a battle!

Youngster Joey is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Dream. He was confirmed on December 21st by DatNuttyKid, and is the third Pokémon newcomer, after Nidoking and Pokémon Ranger.

Attributes
Despite being called Youngster Joey, Joey does not do any of the fighting, instead standing in the background while his Rattata fights, in a similar vein to Pokémon Trainer. However, unlike Pokémon Trainer, Rattata cannot be switched out, as Joey does not own any other Pokémon. Rattata is a lightweight, speedy, and very small character, being about the same size as Pikachu's ducking height.

Standard Attacks

 * Neutral: Rattata swipes with his front paw.
 * Combo: Rattata swipes with his front paw, then turns around and kicks with his back paw, then starts repeatedly attacking with his tail. The final hit has him kick with his back paw again.
 * F-Tilt: Rattata bites.
 * U-Tilt: Rattata swings his tail over his head.
 * D-Tilt: Rattata spins on the ground with his tail extended.
 * Dash: Rattata leaps forwards, biting.
 * F-Smash: Rattata pounces.
 * U-Smash: Rattata leaps and does a flip.
 * D-Smash: Rattata bites on either side of him.
 * N-Air: Rattata does a midair cartwheel.
 * F-Air: Rattata spins while moving forward.
 * B-Air: Rattata swings his tail.
 * U-Air: Rattata bites above him.
 * D-Air: Rattata holds his tail beneath him, which damages opponents.
 * Grab: Rattata holds the opponent in his mouth.
 * Pummel: Rattata bites down on the opponent.
 * F-Throw: Rattata spits the opponent out above him, then uses his tail to smack them forward.
 * B-Throw: Rattata spits the opponent out behind him.
 * U-Throw: Rattata spits the opponent out above him.
 * D-Throw: Rattata flings the opponent down and backwards.
 * Floor-F: Rattata spins on the ground with his tail extended, similar to his down tilt.
 * Floor-B: Rattata bites as he stands up.
 * Floor-T: Rattata spins on the ground with his tail extended, similar to his down tilt.
 * Edge: Rattata bites once he reaches the stage.
 * Neutral Special - Hyper Fang: Rattata's fang glows and he opens his mouth before charging forward and dashing. It can be charged; the more it is charged, the more damage it will do and the more distance it will cover. However, Rattata will not stop at the end of a platform, and the move leaves him helpless.
 * Custom 1 - No-Charge Fang: The move is set at about midway-charged distance and power constantly, and cannot be charged.
 * Custom 2 - Ultimate Fang: The attack does more damage and hits twice, but Rattata no longer dashes forward and it takes longer to charge.
 * Side Special - Tackle: Rattata jumps forward. If he hits someone, he will latch onto them and begin repeatedly biting them until they shake him off. Similar to Monkey Flip.
 * Custom 1 - Piercing Tackle: Rattata no longer latches onto opponents, but the tackle does more damage and can hit multiple targets. It does less damage on each consecutive opponent it hits (so the first opponent takes the most damage, while the last one takes the least.)
 * Custom 2 - Hyper Fang + Tackle: The tackle does less damage and Rattata only bites the opponent once, but the bite functions like Hyper Fang, allowing him to charge it, and he cannot be shaken off until the fang has landed, at which point he will jump off.
 * Up Special - Quick Attack: Rattata runs through the air in the direction inputted on the control stick. Unlike Pikachu's version, it is slower, does less damage, moves further, can go in all directions instead of just four, and he only moves once.
 * Custom 1 - Pika Attack: Identical to Pikachu's up special.
 * Custom 2 - Extreme Speed: The move doesn't do any damage, but Rattata moves quicker and goes further.
 * Down Special - Hyper Beam: Rattata fires a rainbow-colored beam out of his mouth, which does massive damage, but leaves Rattata unable to move for several seconds afterwards.
 * Custom 1 - Lag-less Hyper Beam: The beam is smaller, has less range, and does less damage, but Rattata can move afterward.
 * Custom 2 - Ultimate Beam: The beam is larger, but Rattata is left unable to move for longer.
 * Final Smash - Endeavor: A black beam is emitted in a circle around Rattata, covering the entire stage, and all opponents whose damage is lower than Rattata have their percentage raised to be equal to his.

Taunts

 * Up Taunt: Joey's Pokégear rings and he answers it, saying "Hello?" Rattata then looks at him irritated and he says "I'm going to have to call you back." before hanging up.
 * Side Taunt: Joey and Rattata do an identical pose as Joey says "Top percentage!"
 * Down Taunt: Joey gives a thumbs up to Rattata and says "Nice job, Rattata!" while Rattata looks happy.

On-Screen Appearance
Joey throws a Poké Ball, which releases Rattata, and says "Go! Rattata!"

Idle Poses

 * Rattata scratches his ear while Joey adjusts his hat.
 * Rattata looks behind himself while Joey taps his foot impatiently.

Victory Fanfare
The normal Pokémon victory theme.

Reveal trailer
The trailer opens up to Joey and his Rattata walking down a route in Johto. Joey's Poké Gear beeps and he pulls it out while Rattata climbs on his shoulder. A Smash Bros. icon is on the screen and Joey and Rattata make eye contact, followed by their introduction tagline.

The rest of the trailer has Joey narrating as Rattata battles various opponents, noting that it's in the top percentage of Rattata and therefore is unbeatable. At the end, Pokémon Trainer (in his Ethan costume) and his Charizard appear and says "Wanna battle?" Joey looks at Rattata and nods, and the trailer ends.

Trophies

 * Youngster Joey
 * Go, Rattata! Tackle! This is a big battle, so you'd better leave Joey alone. Remember his super cool Rattata? His Rattata is different from regular Rattata. It's like his Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata! Does he have to have more Pokémon in order to battle better? No! He's sticking with this one no matter what! Ack! He lost again! Doggone it! Wait! You look weak! Let's battle!


 * Youngster Joey (Alt.)
 * Rattata's moveset consists of Hyper Fang, Tackle, Quick Attack, and Hyper Beam. Tackle allows him to latch onto opponents and deal multiple hits of damage, while Hyper Beam is a massive blast of energy and his most powerful move- although it leaves him vulnerable for several seconds. These are all moves that a normal Rattata can learn, so you have to wonder: what makes him the top percentage of Rattata?

Alternate Costumes

 * Default: His default appearance, a combination of the appearance of Youngsters in HeartGold & SoulSilver and Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.

Trivia

 * Joey's main trophy is made up of quotes directly from the games Joey appears in.
 * His alt. trophy claims that Rattata's moves are all moves a normal Rattata can learn- however, Rattata cannot learn Hyper Beam in the games. Joey's Rattata doesn't learn Hyper Beam until after it evolves into Raticate starting in the fifth battle with Joey in Gold and Silver
