Goldeen
Flops around. That’s all. It’s a fish out of water—what did you expect? (If damage were dealt from enthusiasm, Goldeen would KO everyone with Splash. But it isn’t. Not even when Goldeen comes from a Master Ball.)
Moltres
Moltres slowly rises after appearing. Even barely touching this Legendary Pokémon sends a fighter flying.
Mew
Nothing happens except a realization that you’re quite lucky to have seen one.
Entei
Fire Spin has a gravitational effect, sucking in anyone who touches it. Once you’re trapped in the fiery pillar, it does huge damage.
Suicune
Getting hit by Aurora Beam gives you a chance to cool off. Literally. Even touching Suicune right when it appears freezes you.
Lugia
Lugia launches Aeroblast, a wide-range attack, from the back of the stage. This attack can’t be blocked—do all you can to get clear!
Latias & Latios
Latias and Latios fly across the screen from the left and right, damaging anyone they hit and leaving gusts of wind in their wake.
Kyogre
Hydro Pump pushes fighters off the stage. It’s difficult to escape the power of this current.
Deoxys
Hyper Beam draws in fighters, but it doesn’t hurt for you to launch them toward Deoxys too.
Palkia
Everything gets flipped 180 degrees, changing the landscape. The controls stay true to the level’s orientation; don’t get confused and fall!
Giratina
Giratina launches a massive gust of wind that hits multiple times. Be careful—this move is tough to avoid and can send you off the screen.
Darkrai
Its Dark Void move has a strong gravitational pull and puts anyone who touches it to sleep. If you’re caught in midair, you fall to the ground, sound asleep.
Arceus
Sends any airborne opponents crashing to the ground. Players on the ground are unaffected, but amused.
Victini
Generously gives the fighter who threw its Poké Ball a Final Smash.
Zoroark
Throws a grounded opponent into the air, then slashes them with its claws. Its Fury Swipes attack smacks its victim down hard. Wait for them to hit the ground—that’s your chance to deliver a follow-up attack!
Kyurem
Icy Wind freezes fighters in just one hit. Not only does the attack have a wide range, but Kyurem can keep it going for a long time.
Keldeo
When it uses Secret Sword, it rushes up to a fighter and delivers a powerful, wide-range slash attack with its extended horn.
Meloetta
Meloetta’s song bounces off walls and platforms. In smaller stages, the song bounces unpredictably, making it tough to avoid.
Genesect
Both Genesect’s laser and its Techno Blast can penetrate walls, so all you can do is stay out of its line of sight.
Xerneas
Turns the user gold and greatly enhances their launching power for a time.
Tapu Koko
Creates an electric field that stuns opponents. It also shoots out electricity.
Solgaleo
Enters its Radiant Sun phase and charges at enemies, engulfed in flames.
Lunala
Enters its Full Moon phase and shoots a powerful ray from a distance.
Marshadow
Leaps from an opponent’s shadow and lets loose with a powerful punch. When there are multiple opponents, it may change its target between punches.
