 * Pokémon Ranger captures the competition!

Pokémon Ranger is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Dream. He was confirmed on September 15th, 2015 when Nutta was bored and no one else was online. The Pokémon Ranger is represented by Ben, the male player character from Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, and his female counterpart, Summer, appears in half of his costumes. They are joined by the ukulele-playing Pichu that serves as a partner Pokémon in their home game, who attacks for the ranger in most of the moves (like 's Pikmin), as well as a number of other Pokémon that appear only for special attacks.

Attributes
The Pokémon Ranger uses moves based off of the Pokémon Ranger spin-off games in the series- mainly Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, with some elements from previous games. Most of his moves have the Pichu attack, although some, such as his neutral attack, have the ranger himself attack. Unlike Olimar's Pikmin, Rosalina's Lumas, and Nana from the Ice Climbers, Pichu cannot be KO'd without the Ranger, and they cannot be split up. Although Ranger was near indisputedly broken upon release, the first major Balance Patch DekZek1.1 balances this character out.

Reveal trailer
The reveal trailer opens up with two Red using to battle against  in Cerulean Cave. As Charizard falls to a Shadow Ball, the Ranger's voice saying "Capture styler on!" can be heard and Red whirls around to see the Ranger and Pichu, who pose as the splash screen appears.

The rest of the trailer showcases the Ranger battling Lucario, and, eventually, Red himself. At the very end of the trailer, Mewtwo appears in front of the Ranger and laughs as the Ranger and Pichu pose readily.

Trophies

 * Pokémon Ranger
 * You may think that Pokémon Rangers are just like Trainers, but there are a lot of differences. It takes a lot of training to become a Ranger, and all Rangers vow to only use Pokémon to protect nature (or at least smash anyone who dares to challenge them). They constantly have a single partner Pokémon with them, who has been trained up to a high level. But what's with the ukulele?


 * Pokémon Ranger (Alt.)
 * Pokémon Rangers use their Capture Stylers to befriend Pokémon of all shapes and sizes, and can later call on them when they need a hand! Usually, Pokémon Rangers use Field Moves when there's an obstacle in their way, but using it as an attack in a battle tournament also works. It might not follow the guidelines of the Pokémon Ranger society, but it works.


 * Ukulele Pichu
 * This adorable little fella is native to Dolce Island, and entertains its Pokémon friends by performing on its ukulele. It's an invaluable partner to the Pokémon Ranger when he or she sets out to save Oblivia. In that adventure, it used its ukulele to calm Pokémon and make them more easily captured. In Smash Bros., it uses its ukulele to stun opponents before landing a powerful electric attack! ZAAAAP!
