Rex appears as part of {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}}'s [[Final Smash]]es, where he aids them with their respective moves for the duration of the Final Smash; uniquely among assist characters in such a role, Rex's eyes will also glow when Pyra and Mythra have their Final Smash charged, as well as while assisting them in the attack. Rex also appears in their up [[taunt]]s, [[on-screen appearance]], and two of each of their [[victory pose]]s.

According to Sakurai, the development team considered having Rex fighting alongside Pyra and Mythra, but this was decided against due to the difficulty the team had with the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} in contexts such as [[8-Player Smash]]. Sakurai specifically cited the far more complicated design of Pyra and Mythra compared to the relatively simple appearance of the Ice Climbers.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeDBCgDSiB4</ref> Another issue was getting both characters to move at the same time which the development team found was impossible to do; similarly, it was deemed too difficult to implement Rex as the main fighter with Pyra behind him. This ultimately led to Rex being reduced to a smaller supportive role and Mythra being included along with Pyra with the two being able to [[swap]] instead.<ref>https://www.nintendoenthusiast.com/sakurai-considered-rex-and-pyra-as-a-duo-character-for-super-smash-bros-ultimate/</ref>
