'''Celebi''' ({{ja|セレビィ|Serebī}}, ''Celebi'') is a fictional creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} franchise.

Celebi is very special among the Pokémon who can be summoned. First, it must be [[unlock]]ed: it won't appear out of a [[Poké Ball]] until all [[playable character]]s and [[stage]]s have been unlocked, the sound test has been unlocked, all [[event match]]es have been completed, and the Score Display feature has been unlocked (by getting 5000 total KOs). Once that is done, the chance of Celebi appearing is 1-251 ("251" being the total number of Pokémon in existence at the time of ''Melee's'' release), just like the other "unlockable" Pokémon, [[Mew]]. (Both have a double-chance of appearing in [[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon]], though a 2-251 chance still is not that large.)

Celebi, as with all other Poké Ball Pokémon, features as a collectible trophy, which must be specifically earned by encountering Celebi once during any match. This makes it one of the hardest trophies to earn, because the player must essentially play the entire game through before the 1-251 chance of Celebi appearing in a Poké Ball is put into effect, and that is a very rare occurrence indeed: throwing 251 separate Poké Balls does not guarantee one appearance by Celebi among them.

:''Celebi has the power to travel through time, and thus wanders from one age to the next. It is considered a deity by the forests: plants and trees are said to grow in abundance wherever Celebi visits. Like Mew, Celebi is shrouded in mystery. Its special techniques blend grass and psychic powers.''

Mew, [[Jirachi]], and Celebi appear 1/493 of the time individually, with there being 493 Pokémon at the time of ''Brawl'''s release. However, only 492 Pokémon had been officially known at this time: thus, Celebi's summon chance gave some evidence towards the then-secret Pokémon [[Arceus]].

===Trophy description===

:''A Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi can travel throughout time and inhabit multiple places simultaneously. It is said that it appears only during times of peace, greeted by a flourishing of grass and trees. Two turns after Celebi uses its Future Sight move, the foe is bombarded with psychic energy. This proves to have a devastating impact on any Pokémon.''
