Much like [[Charizard]], Rathalos is not explicitly referred to as a dragon in Western versions of its home series, but is treated as one in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. This discrepancy is mostly due to the Western localization of ''Monster Hunter'', as Flying Wyverns (such as Rathalos) are referred to as {{ja|飛竜種|hiryūshu}} ("flying dragon species") in the original Japanese, while Elder Dragon boss monsters simply use a different, antiquated kanji for "dragon" ({{ja|古龍種|koryūshu}}, "old dragon species"). The Rathalos is also weak to Dragon elemental attacks, a trait possessed only by Elder Dragons and dragonlike wyverns. Spinoffs such as crossovers with ''Puzzle and Dragons'' and the ''{{uv|Metal Gear}}'' series make it clear that Rathalos and many other wyverns are considered to be dragons outside of the taxonomy used in their home universe.

The Fighters that are assigned to fight Rathalos in [[Classic Mode]] at the end of their round are {{SSBU|Yoshi}}, {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} and {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}. {{SSBU|Bowser}}, {{SSBU|Hero}} and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} are also assigned to fight Rathalos but not for the final round. Bowser fights {{SSBU|Mario}} afterwards, then [[Metal Mario]] (upon Mario's defeat); Hero has two more regular rounds before fighting {{SSBU|Robin}}, then a giant {{SSBU|Charizard}} (upon Robin's defeat); Sephiroth fights Rathalos in the first round in his route. Usually, ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Other|Roar/Rathalos}}'' plays during the battle, but when Hero fights Rathalos, ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Dragon Quest|Fighting Spirits - DRAGON QUEST III}}'' plays, and ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Galeem / Dharkon}}'' plays during the boss rush.

Rathalos appears as an Advanced-class [[Support spirit]], and is featured on the {{h2|List of spirits (Others)|Razewing Ratha}} spirit.
Rathalos can be obtained by defeating the Forest Hill sub-dungeon in World of Light.
Razewing Ratha's spirit was initially only available through [[Presents]] for those who own ''{{s|wikipedia|Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin}}'' by detecting its save data. As with other such gift spirits, it was later made available for all players, in this case as of Version 13.0.0 on October 18, 2021.
Razewing Ratha uses a {{SSBU|Charizard}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Gaur Plain]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. He is fought along a {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} puppet fighter wearing a Ninja Headband and a brown Standard Outfit representing Leo. If the player has already purchased the Rathalos DLC costume, Leo will use a Mii Swordfighter puppet fighter wearing the Rathalos Helm and Armor instead. During the battle, the fighters' attack power will increase.

In addition to a Rathalos appearing as a [[spirit]], a Razewing Ratha spirit was later added. It is available through [[Presents]] for those who own ''{{s|wikipedia|Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin}}'' by detecting its save data. As with other such gift spirits, it will be made available for all players in the future.
