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, usually more than 70%. The character is also forced towards the top of the screen when he/she gets caught in the column of fire.

As a stage element

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

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