Many Pokémon cameo in the opening movie of Super Smash Bros. Melee.
The playable Pokémon Cast, alongside the Poké Ball Pokémon, in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

At the core of the Pokémon franchise are hundreds upon hundreds of the eponymous creatures. These are collectively called Pokémon and have many roles in the Pokémon RPGs, mainly as game pieces in Pokémon battling where the object is to defeat the opponent's enemy Pokémon with their own. Pokémon are introduced en masse once every several years as part of a new "Generation" of the franchise, along with the newest core series RPG versions. Thus far there have been a total of eight generations, with the grand total of species clocking in at 898 different species of Pokémon, and each Super Smash Bros. game features a selected assortment of Pokémon from all current generations existent at its time to serve a variety of roles, such as playable characters, characters that are summoned from an item called the Poké Ball, enemies and bosses, collectible trophies, stickers, or spirits, characters within stages, and others.

All listed Pokémon that are bolded have the major roles of either being playable characters, appearing from a Poké Ball item, or appearing as an enemy (boss, Smash Run, etc.). Others have more minor roles.

First Generation

The Pokémon franchise began in 1996 with 151 Pokémon species from the Kanto region featured in the very first versions of the Pokémon RPGs, Pokémon Red and Blue for the original Game Boy. This was the only generation in effect when Super Smash Bros. was developed and released.

Trivia

  • The Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Magnemite, Onix, Koffing, Staryu, Electabuzz, Porygon, Snorlax, Sudowoodo, Riolu, and Snover lines are the only Pokémon evolutionary families to have all of their members appear in the Smash franchise.
    • The Bulbasaur and Pikachu (counting its role as a starter in Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu) lines are also the only starter families to have all of its members appear (not counting Kantonian Raichu).
    • However, the Pikachu, Koffing, Staryu and Snorlax families are the only ones in which all members have major in-game roles.
  • Generation I is the only generation to have the fully-evolved forms of all of their starters appear in Smash.
  • Ivysaur is the only middle-stage evolution of a starter Pokémon to appear in Smash.
    • Charmeleon and Wartortle are the only Kanto starters who are not represented in Smash in any form.
  • Grass is the only starter type not to feature a fully evolved Pokemon as a fighter.
    • Ivysaur is the only Grass starter that is a fighter.
  • Generations III, V, and VIII are the only three Pokémon generations not to have any Pokemon playable.
    • Barring Mega Charizard X, Bug, Ground, Ghost, Dragon, Ice and Rock are the only types to not have a playable Pokemon representing any of these types.
    • None of the Mythical Pokemon are playable.
  • Blaziken, Infernape, Greninja, and Incineroar are the only fully-evolved forms of a starter Pokémon outside of Generation I to appear in Smash.
    • Greninja is also the only one of these that is not a Fire-type.
  • Generations II, V, and VIII are the only generations that do not have at least one of their starters' fully evolved forms appear in Smash.
  • Froakie, Litten, and Popplio are the only three unevolved starter Pokémon that do not appear in Smash.
    • Froakie is the only unevolved Generation VI starter that does not appear in Smash.
    • Rowlet is the only unevolved Generation VII starter that appears in Smash.
    • The Popplio line (Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina) is the only starter line that does not have any members appear in Smash at all. While Froakie and Litten do not make any appearances in Smash, their lines are still represented through Greninja and Incineroar, respectively.
  • Blastoise, Kangaskhan, and Blaziken are the only non-playable Pokémon whose Mega Evolution is shown.
  • Generations III, IV, VII, and VIII are the only generations that do not have all of their Legendary and Mythical Pokémon represented in Smash.
    • While Registeel makes an appearance, its counterparts Regirock and Regice do not; they are the only two Generation III legendaries who do not appear.
    • Heatran is the only Generation IV Legendary that does not appear in any form.
    • Generations VII and VIII have the most Legendary or Mythical Pokémon that do not appear in Smash. Of note, Tapu Koko is the only guardian deity that makes an appearance.
    • Generation VIII has the fewest Legendary or Mythical Pokémon that do appear in Smash, with only two. Additionally, much like Registeel's case, neither Regieleki nor Regidrago appear. Similarly, none of the legendary birds' Galarian forms appear.
  • Zeraora, Meltan, Melmetal and Zarude are the only Mythical Pokémon that do not appear in Smash; all were revealed after Marshadow, the newest Pokémon to be represented at the time of Ultimate's release.
  • Nihilego is the only Ultra Beast that appears in Smash.
  • Goodra, Kommo-o and Dragapult are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that do not appear in Smash.
  • Raichu, Vulpix, and Exeggutor are the only Pokémon to have their regional forms appear in Smash.
    • Vulpix is the only Pokemon to have both its normal (Kanto) and regional forms (Alolan) appear in Smash.
    • No Galarian forms appear in Smash.
  • Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon are the only three Eeveelutions to appear in Smash.
  • Hitmonlee is the only Hitmon (either one of three possible evolutions of Tyrogue) to appear in Smash.
  • Landorus is the only Force of Nature to be shown in his Therian Forme, while the other two Forces of Nature, Tornadus and Thundurus, are shown in their Incarnate Formes.
  • All Garchomp seen in Smash clearly depict it as being female, since she does not have a notch in her dorsal fin unlike a male Garchomp.
  • Due to Pokémon Sword and Shield being released after Ultimate, Generation VIII is the only generation to not feature any Pokémon represented as Poké Ball assists in Smash.
