While the effect of type effectiveness is minor in ''Brawl'', it is not insignificant. Those who play [[mirror match]]es with Pokémon Trainer will try to abuse this mechanic whenever possible, as not only will their main KO attacks be reduced in power when facing their counter, they become more suspectible to their opponent's. It also has a severe effect on matches against other characters: while no other character can use Grass or Water attacks (aside from {{SSBB|Kirby}} or {{SSBB|Mario}}'s [[F.L.U.D.D.]]), 19 characters have fire attacks, which overall gives Squirtle more survivability and cuts Ivysaur's noticably. It should also be noted that an opposite benefit can happen with attacks such as [[Flamethrower]] or [[PK Fire]]; Ivysaur's extra knockback will allow it to escape the attack easier, while Squirtle will likely stay trapped for longer. | While the effect of type effectiveness is minor in ''Brawl'', it is not insignificant.
