Pokémon Battle (ポケモンバトル！, Pokémon Battle!) is the 7th event match of the 51 event matches in Super Smash Bros. Melee. As an available character of their choice, the player must win a 2 stock match against a CPU Pikachu with a red hat on Pokémon Stadium, and can only inflict damage or be damaged by hitboxes produced by Pokémon from Poké Balls - hitboxes from character attacks or thrown Poké Balls will harmlessly go through each character, without causing any damage, hitstun, knockback, or hitlag. Poké Balls are the only items that appear. CPU Pikachu has a handicap, and rarely uses attacks; it more often attempts to pursue and use Poké Balls during the match (because its CPU mode is set to ITEM).
Trivia
- It is possible to block Pikachu from ever picking up any Poké Balls, if Pikachu obtains a non-throwing item. This can only happen if playing as Peach and pulling out a Beam Sword or Mr. Saturn via Vegetable, then dropping it very close to a Poké Ball such that Pikachu unintentionally picks it up. Once Pikachu is holding the item, it will never throw it or attack with it, even after more Poké Balls appear on the stage.
- Pikachu will still attempt to shield from attacks, even though it is harmless to it. As such, using a quick set of attacks such as Fox's Blaster, it is possible to force Pikachu to break its shield.
