Master the Pokémon Tag Battle is the 2nd co-op event match of 21 in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It involves player 1 controlling the Pokémon Trainer with 3 stock (like in Event 5: Become the Champion!) and player 2 controlling Pikachu with 1 stock to defeat another Pikachu and Pokémon Trainer. The fight takes place on Pokémon Stadium 2. Interestingly, when one of the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon is KO'd, they can not be used again (a possible reference to the anime and RPGs, where when one Pokémon has lost all its HP and is unable to battle, that Pokémon cannot be used again.)
