*[[File:PikachuIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right|link=Pikachu (SSB4)]]'''{{SSB4|Pikachu}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): the Pokémon mascot was confirmed to be a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' at the game's initial showcase at E3 2013. The only apparent cosmetic change is that it is much more brightly colored, and its design continues the trend of gradually becoming less chubby, matching its appearances in the most recent ''Pokémon'' products. Pikachu has received a fair amount of both buffs and nerfs. Its overall moveset remains the same, including its [[Final Smash]] from ''Brawl'', [[Volt Tackle]]. {{clr}}

*[[File:JigglypuffIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right|link=Jigglypuff (SSB4)]]'''{{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}''' (3DS: [[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]; Wii U: [[Starter character|Starter]]): Jigglypuff was unofficially confirmed through a livestream leak on Twitch. Jigglypuff is an unlockable character in the 3DS version, while being a starter for the first time in the Wii U version. It is much more expressive than before and holds a permanent smile. Jigglypuff has been rebalanced from ''Brawl'', but ultimately suffers more than in ''Brawl'' due to the game's new physics. While having quicker and more powerful attacks, its overall moveset is the same, including  its [[Final Smash]] from ''Brawl'', [[Puff Up]]. {{clr}}

*[[File:MewtwoIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right|link=Mewtwo (SSB4)]]'''{{SSB4|Mewtwo}}''' ([[DLC]]): Mewtwo was announced on October 23rd, 2014 in the ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza'' as the first ever [[downloadable character]]. It is the second veteran to return from ''Melee'' after its absence in ''Brawl'' succeeding {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}. Like other returning Pokémon, its appearance now matches its current form in recent Pokémon media. Mewtwo has been buffed from ''Melee'' by gaining more mobility and power. It has also been given a [[Final Smash]], where Mewtwo Mega-Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y and uses [[Psystrike]], a move that stuns opponents, then launches them via an intense mental shock. It was first made available on April 15, 2015 for users who registered both versions of ''Smash 3DS'' and ''Smash Wii U'' on Club Nintendo, then made available worldwide for purchase two weeks later on April 28.{{clr}}
