'''Legendary Pokémon''' ({{ja|伝説のポケモンたち|Densetsunopokemontachi}}, ''Legendary Pokémon'') is the 37th [[event match]] of the 51 event matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


'''Event 37: Legendary Pokémon''' is an [[Event Match]] available in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].
The player controls a fighter of their choice and must win a [[stock]] match against a CPU red {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} and a team of four giant [[Fighting Wire Frames]] on the {{SSBM|Battlefield}} stage, where the player starts with 1 stock while the five opponents start with 2 stocks. This event match features no time limit. The CPU Jigglypuff's [[artificial intelligence]] is set at Level 7 while two of the Fighting Wire Frames' artificial intelligence is set at Level 2 and the other two Fighting Wire Frames' artificial intelligence is set at Level 3.


In this event, a player must defeat 4 giant [[Wire Frames]] and a [[Jigglypuff]]. Each has 2 lives.  The only item that will appear is the [[Poké Ball]]. Every Poké Ball holds either a legendary Pokémon or a [[Wobbuffet]]. The only character on the other team who can use a Pokéball is Jigglypuff. Only Jigglypuff can pick up and use Pokéballs, and that is all she will do. All the Wire Frames attack the player's character. The goal of this event is to defeat both Jigglypuff and the Wire Frames.
When the match starts, the player's fighter will spawn in the center of the stage, while Jigglypuff will spawn on the rightmost soft platform, the male Fighting Wire Frames will spawn on the topmost soft platform and the center of the stage, and the female Fighting Wire Frames will spawn on the leftmost soft platform. As the name implies, the selection of items is limited to [[Poké Ball]]s, which contains either a Legendary Pokémon or a [[Wobbuffet]]. Jigglypuff will attempt to collect and use all the Poké Balls and avoid the player as much as possible, and will not attack outside of throwing the Poké Balls (or accidentally using a neutral [[jab]] attack from failing to pick one up, or floor recovery attacks after tumbling and hitting the platform if the player comes near). By contrast, the giant Fighting Wire Frames do not focus on collecting and using the Poké Balls and instead focuses on attacking the player's fighter.


==Strategies==
While the Wire Frames are giant-sized, they are not dangerous opponents, with a low artificial intelligence level and weak knockback for their size. Jigglypuff is arguably the only threat, as an unlucky Legendary Pokémon appearance can [[KO]] players in nearly an instant, whereas once the Jigglypuff is KO'd, the player would have no trouble collecting Poké Balls and keeping the Wire Frames trapped in wide-range long-lasting attacks from Legendary Pokémon.
Jigglypuff should be the first character the player should [[KO]], as if she gets a Legendary it will have a huge negative effect on the player. Jigglypuff can be easily defeated by using the Poké Balls. The Wire Frames should be dealt with last. A good Pokémon like [[Moltres]] and [[Lugia]] will KO the Wire Frames fast, while others like Raikou and Ho-oh will raise their damage percentage to a point where you can K.O them easily.


The player can also use [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf's]] no-glitch [[Cruel Melee]] strategy to kill the Wire Frames besides Jigglypuff in the beginning. Go to the edge, wait, [[down smash]] when they all come down, then go to the Pokéballs.
The concept of Poké Balls which almost always hold a Legendary Pokémon would be revived in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' with the [[Master Ball]] item, which functions similarly to this event's Poké Balls.


Use Jigglypuff and rest when the giant wire frames are on high damage because of Entei/Ho-oh/Raiko/Zapdos, and smash or wait for a Moltress for the other Jigglypuff.
Completing this event match will trigger an unlock battle against {{SSBM|Pichu}} if it is not already unlocked, where winning unlocks it.
 
The world record strategy involves the use of [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Confusion]] pull-through glitch, wherein if Confusion is used on a standing opponent as Mewtwo falls by the platform the opponent is standing on, the opponent will be pulled through the platform. Use this glitch to kill as many wireframes as possible throughout the match. Ignore the first Poké Ball, as it almost always contains a Wobbuffet, but grab the second before Jigglypuff does.
*Captain Falcon is also good choose thanks to his extremely fast dash speed, powerful, heavy and fast air speed.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*During the battle the music for [[Kanto Skies: Poké Floats|Poké Floats]] plays.
*In this event match, the Fighting Wire Frames featured in this event match can be [[Star KO]]'d and [[Screen KO]]'d, despite the fact that this does not occur in any other game mode featuring Fighting Wire Frames as opponents.
*Even though the title of the event says "Legendary Pokémon", you can still damage the enemies normally. It's just the Pokémon will do most of the damage.
*This event match features a minor hitbox glitch: If {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} uses his [[Dark Dive]] to hit the Fighting Wire Frames, it will do only one hit instead of doing multiple hits, similarly to {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s [[Falcon Dive]]. This is shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZqDELm3QfI here]. This appears to be an animation oddity where Dark Dive's repeating hitbox does not reach the Wire Frame's hurtbox.
 
*It is possible to block Jigglypuff from ever picking up any Poké Balls, if Jigglypuff obtains a non-throwing item. This can only happen if {{SSBM|Peach}} pulls a [[Beam Sword]] via [[Vegetable]], then dropping it very close to a Poké Ball such that Jigglypuff unintentionally picks it up. Once Jigglypuff is holding a Beam Sword, it will never throw it or attack with it, even after more Poké Balls appear on the stage.
Beating this match will unlock the secret character, [[Pichu (SSBM)|Pichu]].

Legendary Pokémon (伝説のポケモンたち, Legendary Pokémon) is the 37th event match of the 51 event matches in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

The player controls a fighter of their choice and must win a stock match against a CPU red Jigglypuff and a team of four giant Fighting Wire Frames on the Battlefield stage, where the player starts with 1 stock while the five opponents start with 2 stocks. This event match features no time limit. The CPU Jigglypuff's artificial intelligence is set at Level 7 while two of the Fighting Wire Frames' artificial intelligence is set at Level 2 and the other two Fighting Wire Frames' artificial intelligence is set at Level 3.

When the match starts, the player's fighter will spawn in the center of the stage, while Jigglypuff will spawn on the rightmost soft platform, the male Fighting Wire Frames will spawn on the topmost soft platform and the center of the stage, and the female Fighting Wire Frames will spawn on the leftmost soft platform. As the name implies, the selection of items is limited to Poké Balls, which contains either a Legendary Pokémon or a Wobbuffet. Jigglypuff will attempt to collect and use all the Poké Balls and avoid the player as much as possible, and will not attack outside of throwing the Poké Balls (or accidentally using a neutral jab attack from failing to pick one up, or floor recovery attacks after tumbling and hitting the platform if the player comes near). By contrast, the giant Fighting Wire Frames do not focus on collecting and using the Poké Balls and instead focuses on attacking the player's fighter.

While the Wire Frames are giant-sized, they are not dangerous opponents, with a low artificial intelligence level and weak knockback for their size. Jigglypuff is arguably the only threat, as an unlucky Legendary Pokémon appearance can KO players in nearly an instant, whereas once the Jigglypuff is KO'd, the player would have no trouble collecting Poké Balls and keeping the Wire Frames trapped in wide-range long-lasting attacks from Legendary Pokémon.

The concept of Poké Balls which almost always hold a Legendary Pokémon would be revived in Super Smash Bros. 4 with the Master Ball item, which functions similarly to this event's Poké Balls.

Completing this event match will trigger an unlock battle against Pichu if it is not already unlocked, where winning unlocks it.

Trivia[edit]

  • In this event match, the Fighting Wire Frames featured in this event match can be Star KO'd and Screen KO'd, despite the fact that this does not occur in any other game mode featuring Fighting Wire Frames as opponents.
  • This event match features a minor hitbox glitch: If Ganondorf uses his Dark Dive to hit the Fighting Wire Frames, it will do only one hit instead of doing multiple hits, similarly to Captain Falcon's Falcon Dive. This is shown here. This appears to be an animation oddity where Dark Dive's repeating hitbox does not reach the Wire Frame's hurtbox.
  • It is possible to block Jigglypuff from ever picking up any Poké Balls, if Jigglypuff obtains a non-throwing item. This can only happen if Peach pulls a Beam Sword via Vegetable, then dropping it very close to a Poké Ball such that Jigglypuff unintentionally picks it up. Once Jigglypuff is holding a Beam Sword, it will never throw it or attack with it, even after more Poké Balls appear on the stage.
