Since the character will already holding the other with their arms, most pummels are knee jabs or headbutts. This move also works after using Bowser's Koopa Klaw. Pummeling is primarily used to rack up damage before a throw. The higher an opponent's damage meter, the longer you can pummel them before he or she is able to break free from the grab. Otherwise, an adept fighter may escape before even a single blow is landed.
