Pokémon Trainer's unique ability to be three characters in one allows for many different positive effects. For instance, the three separate characters can be used together in conjunction for a powerful effect, especially since altogether the Pokémon Trainer has nine special moves, if Pokémon Change is excluded. Since all the Pokémon have varying weights and sizes, certain Pokémon can be switched to during opportune moments. For example, if the Pokémon has high damage, Charizard can be switched to since it has a higher weight. Squirtle and Ivysaur both are excellent at racking up damage, and the high damage opponent can then be KO'd by one of Charizard's high knockback moves. All of the Trainer's Pokémon experience [[type effectiveness]], however. The invincibility granted by [[Pokémon Change]] can be used to avoid attacks on the ground, such as Final Smashes, or cure status ailments. However, Pokémon Change happens automatically after a Pokémon is KO'd. If the player wants to switch back to the Pokémon they were just using they must endure 4+ seconds of Pokémon Change to get back to that last Pokémon in use, and this can be a hindrance, as not all frames of the move grant invincibility, leaving the Pokémon being brought into battle somewhat vulnerable at the end. Also, the move cannot be used in midair or while invincible. Certain Pokémon are bad for certain situations, either forcing the player to use the wrong Pokémon for certain bad situations or go through multiple Pokémon Change uses. Also, after 1 minute and 20 seconds, stamina is brought into play, significantly weakening a Pokémon's moves. | Pokémon Trainer's unique ability to be three characters in one allows for many different positive effects.

The one thing that the entire team shares is a strong grab/throw game, though each one has different ways of implementing it. Squirtle's grab has roughly average range, but its strength is in grounding an opponent in their shield with an overwhelming attack rate before rushing in for a grab. From there, it has a KO option and excellent setup options with decent damage all around. Ivysaur does things differently by focusing more on tricking the opponent into a grab; Ivysaur has one of the best [[pivot grab]]s available and will often have retreated to the edge in the process, and from there has the option to use its powerful back-throw for a KO (or up-throw, should the match-up recommend it). Charizard's long neck can outgrab most of the characters in the game due to owning the second longest non-tether grab range in Brawl (second to {{SSBB|King Dedede}}), giving it good match control options. It also has the option to grab-release, since the spacing will become perfect for a down-tilt , and potentially a KO. | The one thing that the entire team shares is a strong grab/throw game, though each one has different ways of implementing it.

Pokémon Trainer overall has a mediocre matchup spread. He only hard counters {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, counters 7 characters, soft counters 4 characters, and goes even with {{SSBB|Sonic}}, while being soft countered by 9 characters, countered by 11 characters, and gets Hard Countered by {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBB|Marth}}, and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. Pokémon Trainer's matchups all depend on how well each of the 3 Pokémon fares against them. While he does have favorable matchups against Donkey Kong, Ness, and lower-tiered characters, the forced switching mechanic made others drastically harder (which included examples such as King Dedede, who can chaingrab Charizard and Ivysaur to death, both who lack the proper tools to combat the former’s attributes). | Pokémon Trainer overall has a mediocre matchup spread.

When Galleom is defeated, it grabs both Lucas and Pokémon Trainer, causing the latter to faint, and jumps high into the air, revealing an armed [[Subspace Bomb]] in its head. Lucas uses [[PK Thunder]] to detach its arm, and he and Pokémon Trainer free-fall towards the ground. Just before they would hit the ground, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} flies in and grabs them both, and takes them to safety away from the Subspace explosion, with {{SSBB|Marth}} and {{SSBB|Ike}}. | When Galleom is defeated, it grabs both Lucas and Pokémon Trainer, causing the latter to faint, and jumps high into the air, revealing an armed [[Subspace Bomb]] in its head.

Pokémon Trainer later joins the rest of the fighters in their assault on the [[Subspace Gunship]], and is aboard one of the smaller ships when they navigate their way into Subspace. However, when they reach [[Tabuu]], he trophifies all of the fighters with his Off Waves. Pokémon Trainer is later revived by {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, {{SSBB|Ness}} and {{SSBB|Luigi}}, and can be chosen to fight Tabuu in the final battle. | Pokémon Trainer later joins the rest of the fighters in their assault on the [[Subspace Gunship]], and is aboard one of the smaller ships when they navigate their way into Subspace.
