'''Legendary Pokémon''' ({{ja|伝説のポケモンたち|Densetsunopokemontachi}}, ''Legendary Pokémon'') is the 37th [[event match]] of the 51 event matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


The player controls a fighter of their choice and must win a [[stock]] match against a CPU red {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} and a team of four giant [[Fighting Wire Frames]] on the {{SSBM|Battlefield}} stage, where the player starts with 1 stock while the five opponents start with 2 stocks. This event match features no time limit. The CPU Jigglypuff's [[artificial intelligence]] is set at Level 7 while two of the Fighting Wire Frames' artificial intelligence is set at Level 2 and the other two Fighting Wire Frames' artificial intelligence is set at Level 3.
'''Event 37: Legendary Pokémon''' is an [[Event Match]] available in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].


When the match starts, the player's fighter will spawn in the center of the stage, while Jigglypuff will spawn on the rightmost soft platform, the male Fighting Wire Frames will spawn on the topmost soft platform and the center of the stage, and the female Fighting Wire Frames will spawn on the leftmost soft platform. As the name implies, the selection of items is limited to [[Poké Ball]]s, which contains either a Legendary Pokémon or a [[Wobbuffet]]. Jigglypuff will attempt to collect and use all the Poké Balls and avoid the player as much as possible, and will not attack outside of throwing the Poké Balls (or accidentally using a neutral [[jab]] attack from failing to pick one up, or floor recovery attacks after tumbling and hitting the platform if the player comes near). By contrast, the giant Fighting Wire Frames do not focus on collecting and using the Poké Balls and instead focuses on attacking the player's fighter.
In this event, a player must defeat 4 giant [[Wire Frames]] and a [[Jigglypuff]]. Each has 2 lives.  The only item that will appear is the [[Poké Ball]]. Every Poké Ball holds either a legendary Pokémon or a [[Wobbuffet]]. The only character on the other team who can use a Poké Ball is Jigglypuff, and in fact it will do nothing else, while all the Wire Frames ever do is attack the player's character. The goal of this event is to defeat both Jigglypuff and the Wire Frames.


While the Wire Frames are giant-sized, they are not dangerous opponents, with a low artificial intelligence level and weak knockback for their size. Jigglypuff is arguably the only threat, as an unlucky Legendary Pokémon appearance can [[KO]] players in nearly an instant, whereas once the Jigglypuff is KO'd, the player would have no trouble collecting Poké Balls and keeping the Wire Frames trapped in wide-range long-lasting attacks from Legendary Pokémon.
==Strategies==
Jigglypuff should be the first character the player should [[KO]], as if she gets a Legendary it will have a huge negative effect on the player. Jigglypuff can be easily defeated by using the Poké Balls. The Wire Frames should be dealt with last. A good Pokémon like [[Moltres]] and [[Lugia]] will KO the Wire Frames fast, while others like Raikou and Ho-oh will raise their damage percentage to a point where you can KO them easily using either smash attacks or other moves with high knockback, like [[Rest]] or [[Stone]].


The concept of Poké Balls which almost always hold a Legendary Pokémon would be revived in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' with the [[Master Ball]] item, which functions similarly to this event's Poké Balls.
The player can also use [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf's]] no-glitch [[Cruel Melee]] strategy to KO the Wire Frames besides Jigglypuff in the beginning. Go to the edge, wait, [[down smash]] when they all come down, then go to the Poké Balls.


Completing this event match will trigger an unlock battle against {{SSBM|Pichu}} if it is not already unlocked, where winning unlocks it.
The world record strategy involves the use of [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Confusion]] pull-through glitch, wherein if Confusion is used on a standing opponent as Mewtwo falls by the platform the opponent is standing on, the opponent will be pulled through the platform. Use this glitch to KO as many Wire Frames as possible throughout the match. Ignore the first Poké Ball, as it almost always contains a Wobbuffet, but grab the second before Jigglypuff does.
*Captain Falcon is also a good choice thanks to his extremely fast dash and air speeds, and the fact that he's heavy and powerful.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In this event match, the Fighting Wire Frames featured in this event match can be [[Star KO]]'d and [[Screen KO]]'d, despite the fact that this does not occur in any other game mode featuring Fighting Wire Frames as opponents.
*During the battle the music for [[Kanto Skies: Poké Floats|Poké Floats]] plays.
*This event match features a minor hitbox glitch: If {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} uses his [[Dark Dive]] to hit the Fighting Wire Frames, it will do only one hit instead of doing multiple hits, similarly to {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s [[Falcon Dive]]. This is shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZqDELm3QfI here]. This appears to be an animation oddity where Dark Dive's repeating hitbox does not reach the Wire Frame's hurtbox.
*Even though the title of the event says "Legendary Pokémon", you can still damage the enemies normally. It's just the Pokémon will do most of the damage.
*It is possible to block Jigglypuff from ever picking up any Poké Balls, if Jigglypuff obtains a non-throwing item. This can only happen if {{SSBM|Peach}} pulls a [[Beam Sword]] via [[Vegetable]], then dropping it very close to a Poké Ball such that Jigglypuff unintentionally picks it up. Once Jigglypuff is holding a Beam Sword, it will never throw it or attack with it, even after more Poké Balls appear on the stage.
*Mewtwo is the most famous character used for this Event Match, as it is also a Legendary Pokémon.
