Editing Unblockable attack

{{ArticleIcons|ssbm=y|ssbb=y|ssb4=y|ssbu=y}}
An '''unblockable attack''' (also called '''unblockable move''' or  '''unblockable''') is an attack that cannot be defended against with a [[shield]] or a [[counterattack]]. Unblockable attacks tend to be exceptionally powerful and are often [[grab]]s, [[Final Smash]]es, wielded by bosses, or moves from rare Pokémon and Assist Trophies; there are very few moves that are unblockable outside of these cases. In ''[[Brawl]]'', ''[[Smash 4]]'', and ''[[Ultimate]]'', most characters have at least one unblockable attack if grabs and Final Smashes are counted.

Unblockable attacks can still be avoided by [[intangibility]], such as [[sidestep]]ping and [[air dodging]], as well as {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s [[Witch Time]] in most cases. True [[invincibility]] also protects against unblockable attacks, such as that granted by a [[Super Star]].

It is possible for a shielding character to be hit by a blockable attack and an unblockable attack on the same frame. What happens in this situation depends on the game.
*In ''[[Melee]]'', the blockable attack hits the shield, and the shielder is hit by the unblockable attack.
*In ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'', the blockable attack hits the shield and the shielder goes into [[shieldstun]]. The unblockable attack hits the shielder, but it deals no damage or knockback.

All [[grab]]s (with the exception of [[Isabelle]]'s [[Fishing Rod]]) are unblockable and so will not be included in the following list.
