Pokémon (universe)

In Super Smash Bros.

Item

Super Smash Bros. introduces what has since been the only Pokémon-related item featured throughout the Smash Bros. series until SSB4:

• 
  Poké Ball: The mass-producible, spherical item that, in any Pokémon continuity, can be thrown at a wild Pokémon to capture it and place it under the thrower's ownership, and which can subsequently be used by the owner as a storage device for that Pokémon that can send out and recall the Pokémon freely. The Poké Ball item featured in Super Smash Bros., like with each incarnation of the Poké Ball in future Smash Bros. installments, comes pre-loaded with one Pokémon randomly selected out of a pool of possible species, and when the ball is thrown and lands on a floor, the Pokémon inside emerges and briefly performs its own moves and behaviors before disappearing. The Super Smash Bros. version of this item can release one of thirteen different results, all originating from the First Generation: Charizard, Blastoise, Beedrill, Clefairy, Meowth, Onix, Hitmonlee, Koffing, Chansey, Goldeen, Starmie, Snorlax, and most rarely, Mew.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Item

• 
  Poké Ball: The Super Smash Bros. Melee version of this item can release one of twenty-nine different results, originating from the First and Second Generations: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Clefairy, Electrode, Weezing, Chansey, Goldeen, Staryu, Snorlax, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Togepi, Bellossom, Marill, Unown, Wobbuffet, Scizor, and Porygon2, and in rare instances, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mew, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Celebi. (Ditto was also planned, but was scrapped from the final release and is now only accessible as a dummied-out result with Action Replay or other hacking methods.) [1]

Brawl version of this item can release one of thirty different results, originating from all four Generations of the franchise that were in effect as of Brawl: Meowth, Electrode, Goldeen, Staryu, Snorlax, Chikorita, Togepi, Bellossom, Wobbuffet, Torchic, Gardevoir, Gulpin, Metagross, Latias and Latios (the first instance of a duo of separate Pokémon that can appear out of a single thrown Poké Ball), Piplup, Bonsly, Munchlax, and Weavile, and in rare instances, Moltres, Mew, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Jirachi, Deoxys (in its Attack Forme), and Manaphy.

Description

If they are next to the radius of Venusaur's earthquake or near Wobbuffet, CPUs may shield even if they are not in the Pokémon's damage radius. Unusually, they also hold their shields in place, which can result in a self-inflicted shield break (Jigglypuff will SD because of its unique shield jump). This is noticeable with the Wire Frames on the Legendary Pokémon event. Additionally, if a CPU is knocked in the air near Venusaur or goes above it to approach a player, it often immediately air dodges, even if the Venusaur can just be jumped over.
