 ==Overview==
-Pokémon Change is one of only two moves that all three of the Trainer's Pokémon have in common (the other being their [[Final Smash]], [[Triple Finish]]). It switches between the three Pokémon - [[Charizard]], [[Squirtle]], and [[Ivysaur]]. If Charizard is currently in use, it will switch to Squirtle. If Squirtle is in use, it will switch to Ivysaur. If Ivysaur is in use, it will switch to Charizard. Only one Pokémon needs be knocked out to score against Pokémon Trainer.
+Pokémon Change is one of two moves that all three of the Trainer's Pokémon share, the other being their [[Final Smash]], [[Triple Finish]]. Performing it changes the Pokémon from [[Squirtle]] to [[Ivysaur]] to [[Charizard]] in that order. However, only one Pokémon needs be knocked out to score against Pokémon Trainer, and the next Pokémon in line will be called out on the [[revival platform]].

-In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', stamina no longer exists, allowing the use of one Pokémon without penalty. The move itself can also be done in mid-air and has a much faster switch time, now having a set time and not being subjected to load times. This greatly improves each Pokémon’s synergy with one another, as switching is far less committal and lets the player adjust to the situation accordingly. The ability to do it offstage also greatly improves recovery options, as Charizard maintains its extra midair jump, and Ivysaur's [[Vine Whip]] no longer causing [[helpless|helplessness]] allows it to switch into Charizard should Vine Whip miss the [[edge]]. However, to balance out its faster switch time, Pokémon Change now has a cooldown of approximately two seconds. This cooldown can be skipped by using another special move, which cancels the Pokemon Trainer's swap animation and allows another swap to performed immediately after the Pokemon Trainer animation for the inputted other special move. This technique is sometimes referred to as 'Swede Swapping,' a name popularized by [[Leffen]], but is more often referred to as 'quick switching' or some variant.
