PIPLUP

Surf

It slides around on a wave of water and shoves opponents all over the place.
It’s not really fun from the opponent’s perspective.

 MUNCHLAX

Pickup

It dashes towards any item left on the ground and gobbles it up.
Talk about an expert at getting rid of clutter!

 BONSLY

Tackle

When it’s thrown into someone, it really hurts.
Try throwing this one using a smash attack.

 WEAVILE

False Swipe

It moves quickly and dazes the opponent.
The opponent only takes 1% damage with each attack but still, this is one powerful Pokémon.

 TORCHIC

Fire Spin

It pulls nearby opponents in and deals constant damage. It then blasts opponents off in a fiery conclusion.

 GULPIN

Swallow

It swallows up opponents to incapacitate them.
It can also deal damage to the engulfed enemy.

 METAGROSS

Earthquake

It hurts all nearby grounded opponents.
If you stay too close to it, it’ll bury you in the ground.

 GARDEVOIR

Reflect

It reflects any projectiles with a vast field.
Be careful not to casually shoot stuff or throw items.

 MEOWTH

Pay Day

It launches a coin barrage against any foe it faces.
It doesn’t throw the thing on its forehead.

 ELECTRODE

Explosion

After a little while, it lets off a huge blast, although occasionally it fails to detonate.
You can test your nerve by holding onto it until the very last second and then throwing it right before it detonates.

 GOLDEEN

Splash

It simply flops around and does absolutely nothing that causes any damage. If your opponent gets this, you’re lucky. If you get stuck with this, you feel robbed.

 STARYU

Swift

It homes in on your foe and quickly fires star-shaped projectiles.
Enemies will try to flee by moving up or down. Sabotage their efforts and let STARYU blast them.

 SNORLAX

Body Slam

It jumps up and inflates, and as it falls it attacks everything under it.
Since the affected area is so vast, this is a Pokémon you can rely on.

 CHIKORITA

Razor Leaf

It shoots razor-sharp leaves sideways in a straight line.
This is a little different to IVYSAUR’s Razor Leaf.

 TOGEPI

Metronome

It unleashes one of its five different abilities at random.
If the screen goes pitch black, it’s not a software bug!

 BELLOSSOM

Sweet Scent

It puts nearby opponents to sleep.
The amount of time you stay asleep depends on your damage percentage.

 WOBBUFFET

Counter

If you attack it, it attacks back, regardless of friends or foes.
It’s kind of like a boxer’s speedball?

 GROUDON

Overheat

Anyone who touches the scorching body of this Pokémon takes damage.
It’s absolutely massive. An effective strategy is to stand by it and protect yourself.

 KYOGRE

Hydro Pump

It fires a tremendously high pressured jet of water that sends opponents flying.
It’s got a massive body and also floats in the air. Talk about impact!

Fly

After making its appearance, it slowly rises. Its body is scorching hot to the touch.

 ENTEI

Fire Spin

It raises a pillar of fire that holds the opponent aloft.
Feel free to take advantage of your incapacitated opponents.

It shoots a straight, horizontal beam.
Although the beam width is narrow, it’s high-speed, powerful and freezes the opponent.

Sacred Fire

The flames are so enormous that it interferes with your view of the action.

 LUGIA

Aeroblast

It launches a vortex of air from the back of the screen, affecting a certain area of the stage.
It’s relatively easy to dodge, but if you get hit, be prepared for the worst.

 LATIAS, LATIOS

Steel Wing

The pair fly in one after another, unleashing attacks as their paths cross.
The air pressure generated by these two creates wind currents which affect items and fighters.

 DEOXYS

Hyper Beam

DEOXYS leaps into the air and fires the beam straight down.
The attack continues for a short while, so use a throw or other attack to knock the enemy into the beam while you can.

 MANAPHY

Heart Swap

It switches the bodies of two strangers for a certain length of time.
This attack is only effective within a certain range, so if it misses the target, nothing will happen.
