Poke Balls

Poke Ball	Description

Meowth	Meowth deals a wide range of attacks by throwing Pay Day coins. The coins deal little damage, but they will interrupt the opponent’s attack.
Abra	Abra uses a teleportation offensive attack on the opponents and usually lands them on platforms that do not have ground beneath. Abra can teleport repeatedly and can change the place where it drops opponents.
Electrode	It explodes when thrown at enemies. However, before an Electrode explodes, its body becomes glowing red, and that is the only time window you can grab it and throw it back at your opponents.
Alolan Exeggutor	Has a humongous body, which it uses to attack and get in the way of fighters.
Goldeen	Like a fish, it flops around dealing damage. Goldeen can KO everyone with Splash attack.
Staryu	Staryu can attack using shooting stars at a very high speed.
Ditto	Ditto will transform into the fighter who throws the Poké Ball. It can then attack back at enemies.

Entei	Fire Spin attacks with a gravitational force impact. Anyone who is near the force field will be impacted by the attack. Once the fiery pillar captures you, you will deal massive damage.
Suicine	If you are hit by Aurora Beam, it will give you a chance to cool off. This applies even when you touch Suicune right after it appears; it will freeze you.
Lugia	Lugia will attack with an Aeroblast. It is a wide-range attack, and he comes from the back of the stage. You cannot block the attack. You are left with one option to get away from the backstage attack.
Gardevoir	Gardevoir has a force field barrier that it uses and reflect projectiles. Upon summoning it, your projectiles will not be affected. They will go right through it.
Metagross	Metagross does an earthquake attack. If you are fast, you will run away and avoid it, but if you are slow, you will likely be impacted by the attack.
Latias & Latios	Latias and Latios both attack while flying across the extremes of the left and right sides of your screen. They will damage and hit anyone who comes between them.

Deoxys	Hyper Beam will draw the fighters in. It will not hurt you when you launch it towards Deoxys.
Abomasnow	Abomasnow deals with a Blizzard ability attack move, and it will pull you toward the Pokémon. Once Blizzard’s ability ends, Abomasnow will unleash a barrage of Ice Punch.
Palkia	Everything will be flipped by 180 degrees, and the landscape too will change. The key difference here will be the controls; in spite of the changed landscape, the controls will remain the same. You will be made to fall by confusion.
Giratina	Giratina does an unavoidable attack, a gust of wind. If attacked, it will impact you multiple times. You should be careful and avoid it at all costs before it happens, the wind moves will send you flying to the extremes of the screen.

Arceus	Arceus’ attacks will send you airborne opponents, and you will crash to the ground. The attack deals minimal damage, but you will be left on the ground.
Victini	Victini will give any fighter a Final Smash chance only if they threw it a Poké Ball.
Snivy	Snivy deals a Razor Leaf attack, and it rapidly fires at short ranges. However, if the opponent is caught in they will get hit over and over and over. Avoid it at all costs.
Oshawott	Oshawott will deal an attack that can affect multiple opponents. It surfs on a wave and will try its best to drag opponents off the stage.
Zoroark	Zoroark will throw any grounded opponent back into the air, and the attack will be followed by the slashes of its claws. It has a Fury Swipes attack, which will potentially smack any opponent down hard. You can only attack after the attack ends on the ground, which is your only window to attack back.

Keldeo	Keldeo has a Secret Sword. If it is used, he will rush up to a fighter and will strike a wide-range and powerful slash attack with its extended horn.
Meloetta	Meloetta uses the song attack, and it bounces off walls and platforms, doing a continuous attack. The attack can be avoided easily in bigger stages; however, if the space is tight, like in smaller stages, the song will bounce very fast, and you will find it hard to evade or avoid.
Genesect	Two of Genesect’s attacks will penetrate walls. The laser and its Techno Blast attacks can only be avoided if you evade the direct line of sight of the attack.
Chespin	Chespin will use its Seed Bomb attack. It will cause explosions around it only. Anyone nearby it will deal a devastating amount of damage. Avoid the attack at all costs.

Fletchling	Fletchling will peck at opponents with its beak. Once it paints a target, it can hardly be avoided. You should strike it while other foes are distracted by this Pokémon’s attacks.
Spewpa	It will react with a blast of Stun Spore upon attacking.
Gogoat	Gogoat will run like crazy around the stage and will launch opponents into the air as it hits. Fighters can also hitch a free ride on Gogoat
Swirlix	Swirlix will surround itself in smoke and effectively slow down any nearby opponents. Players can use it to their advantage if they bring it to fight the foes. Those who like to fight up close and personal with opponents will find it hard to do so with Swirlix. It slows down their movement momentarily.
Inkay	Inkay’s Topsy-Turvy ability attack will knock over single or multiple fighters into the air. The skill’s ability to attack will not affect anybody who is in the air. Your best bet is to try and jump around Inkay.
Dedenne	Dedenne uses Discharge ability attack to create an electrical burst. The burst surrounds Dedenne in the center, and any single or multiple fighters around it are caught in it for multiple hits.
Xerneas	Xerneas will turn the user into gold color, and it will affect the launching power for a time of user for quite some time.
Bewear	Bewear will deal a devastating uppercut to single and multiple foes who are very close to it. The attack will become useless if you are at a distance.
Pyukumuku	If a fighter steps on Pyukumuku, it will release a punch attack that has a launching effect. It can be done repeatedly every time you step on Pyukumuku. Pick it up and throw it at opponents for a strategic advantage.
Togedemaru	Togedemaru has an amazing lightning bolt attack. It calls on the attack, and its body shoots out sparks from its body.
Mimikyu	Mimikyu will drag any nearby opponent into its own body. It attacks only after dragging them into itself. The opponent’s moment inside Mimikyu will be rendered to cease; no one moves inside Mimikyu. The opponent can be KO’d instantly if it is left with only the last 10% of health.
Tapu koko	Tapu Koko will create an electric field, which in turn can be used to stun opponents. It also shoots the electricity out.
