Entei (Japanese: エンテイ) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it is a Poké Ball Pokémon, a trophy, and even a stage.

Creature Description

Like the other legendary beasts, Entei made its debut in Pokemon Gold & Silver. Entei was a legendary Pokémon that perished when the Burned Tower caught on fire. Ho-oh then revived Entei along with the other legendary beasts. Entei, along with Suicune and Raikou, can be found in the Burned Tower's basement. Once the player awakens the legendary beast, the player can find Entei in the areas where wild Pokémon are found. Entei also makes an appearance in Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green. Once the player completes a certain event on the Sevii Islands, then Entei will be roaming the wild if the player has chosen Bulbasaur as their starter. Entei can be transfered to Pokemon Diamond & Pearl through the use of the Pal Park.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Entei is rather prominent among its two peers, Raikou and Suicune, in the Smash Bros. series.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Entei is treated as a "legendary" Poké Ball Pokémon; its chance of appearing is much rarer than most of the others, and in return its effect is more powerful. Entei uses Fire Blast as its attack. A column of fire will surround Entei's body when it executes this attack. Any character caught in the column of fire, excluding the summoner, will take damage. The character is also forced towards the top of the screen when he/she gets caught in the column of fire. Entei is a legendary Pokémon so its appearance is rare.

As a stage element

The Pokémon Stadium 2 model for Entei, massively enlarged, serves as a unique stage played only during the Event match Trophy Tussle 2. Therefore, it is not available for multiplayer play without hacking. The reward for completing the match will be the Entei trophy.

As a trophy

Entei features as a collectible trophy, unlocked when you beat the Event match Trophy Tussle 2 for the first time:

Entei:

A volcanic Fire-type, Entei is hotter than liquid magma and as tough as nails. This powerful creature was one of the three Pokemon running around the Burned Tower of Ecruteak City. Entei is extremely difficult to seek out and capture, as it tends to wander all over the landscape, sprouting intense flames from its body. (Pokemon Gold & Silver 10/00)

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Entei reprises it's role from Super Smash Bros. Melee in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The attack used is still Fire Blast, however Entei's entrance is much more intense as it roars and stands on it's hind legs before executing its attack.
