Swap (チェンジ, Change), officially referred to as Swap to Mythra (ヒカリチェンジ, Hikari Change) and Swap to Pyra (ホムラチェンジ, Homura Change), is Pyra and Mythra's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It allows Pyra and Mythra to turn into each other.
Overview
Like Zelda and Sheik in Melee and Brawl, Swap is a very fast switch between Pyra and Mythra. The move is fairly fast to complete, allowing Pyra/Mythra to act earlier than Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon after Pokémon Change, and having no cooldown for each transformation; unlike with Pokémon Change, however, Pyra/Mythra are granted intangibility for a shorter duration, starting from frame 6 instead of frame 1. Additionally, both characters maintain their drift when using the move, greatly circumventing potential momentum loss, especially in the case of Mythra swapping to Pyra.
Both have quotes they will say when swapping to the other:
Pyra
To Mythra:
- "Switching!"
- "To you!"
- "Mythra!
From Mythra:
- "Right here!"
- "Got it!"
Mythra
To Pyra:
- "Swap!"
- "All yours!"
- "Pyra!"
From Pyra:
- "Let me at 'em!"
- "You're done!"

 |
Swap to Mythra in the middle of the battle. Mythra is faster but less powerful. |
 |
Swap to Pyra in the middle of the battle. Pyra is slower but more powerful. |
Origin
After both Pyra and Mythra become playable in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the player can freely swap between them during battle to use their unique abilities and special moves. This mechanic was recreated in the context of Smash.
Trivia
- In Squad Strike, swapping between Pyra and Mythra does not change their stock icon. Instead, the stock icon always displays the character who started out the match.
