While type effectiveness is generally nonexistant in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash Bros. series]]'', it does exist in a small capacity in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. The [[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]]'s three Pokémon, ([[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur]] and [[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]]) are affected by a stripped-down version of type effectiveness (None of the other Pokémon characters are). Out of Fire, Water, and Grass attacks, if one of the three Pokémon is hit by an attack they resist, they take 10% less [[knockback]]. However, if the attack is super effective, they take 10% more knockback.

While the effect of type effectiveness is minor in ''Brawl'', it is not insignificant. Most importantly, it causes Ivysaur to be [[KO]]'d at lower percentages by fire attacks than other characters, which is a problem compared to its two partners: only Squirtle, [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]], and [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]] (having copied [[Water Gun]]) have water attacks, and only Ivysaur and Kirby (having copied [[Bullet Seed]]) have grass attacks, but 19 characters can use fire attacks.

The chain of effectiveness is as follows: Fire → Grass → Water → Fire.

In a similar way, various enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]] take more or less damage from certain attacks; for example [[Fire Primid]]s take 0.02x damage from [[flame]] attacks.
