:'' | :''The list below covers the general changes of the Pokémon Trainer and their party as a whole. For information about each individual Pokémon's moveset changes, see [[Squirtle (SSBU)]], [[Ivysaur (SSBU)]], and [[Charizard (SSBU)]].'' | ||
Due to being a low-tier in Brawl, Pokémon Trainer has been significantly buffed in the transition from ''Brawl''. Notably, both the [[Pokémon Change#Stamina|Stamina]] mechanic and [[type effectiveness]] have been completely removed, and [[Pokémon Change]] has been granted high utility due to the addition of aerial switching and significantly faster Pokémon switches. As such, switches between the three Pokémon have now become a unique advantage for the Pokémon Trainer alone rather than being a major mandatory commitment, and the Pokémon are now free to fight indefinitely without being limited by Stamina during battle. In addition, Ivysaur, who was previously the worst Pokémon in the party, has been greatly buffed, and the general changes to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s mechanics greatly benefit Ivysaur and Squirtle. Each of the Trainer's Pokémon is usable as its own character, but as in ''Brawl'', usage of all three for different situations is optimal. | |||
Despite some noteworthy buffs, Pokémon Trainer has also received some nerfs. While the removal of type effectiveness slightly benefits Charizard and greatly benefits Ivysaur, it also greatly hinders Squirtle. Additionally, while Pokémon Change has been greatly improved, it has also received a few new disadvantages as there is now a timer which prevents switching for a couple of seconds (although there are ways to work around this) and it no longer resets [[stale move negation]], effectively weakening the next Pokémon. Squirtle has also been considerably nerfed, and Ivysaur and Charizard have received some nerfs as well. | |||
Nevertheless, Pokémon Trainer has become a significantly more effective character than in Brawl. Despite still having a high learning curve, Pokémon Trainer has a great playerbase, especially compared to ''Brawl''. While initially overshadowed by widely-acknowledged top-tier characters such as {{SSBU|Peach}} and {{SSBU|Lucina}}, players such as {{Sm|Wishes}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Puppeh}}, and {{Sm|Pandarian}} have been able to take advantage of the Trainer's ability to use three different character archetypes in battle and Ivysaur's overall potency as a character in its own right to obtain significant results. | |||
