'''Pokémon Change''' is [[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Down Special Move]]. It is one of only two moves that all three of the Trainer's Pokémon have in common (the other being [[Triple Finish]]). It switches between his three Pokémon - [[Charizard]], [[Squirtle]], and [[Ivysaur]]. If Charizard is currently in use, he will switch to Squirtle. If Squirtle is in use, he will switch to Ivysaur. If Ivysaur is in use, he will switch to Charizard. Using this move too often or too little will result in the Pokémon's stamina being drained. Only one Pokémon need be knocked out to score against the Trainer.

If one Pokémon is KO'd, Pokémon Trainer will summon the next Pokémon in rotation to the revival platform. The Pokémon Change cannot be used again until the starting invincibility has worn off. To prevent taking advantage of recovery (like switching to Charizard to avoid being edgehogged with Ivysaur's recovery), Pokémon cannot be changed in midair.

While changing, there is a little time in which you are invincible. You can utilize this minor invincibility to "dodge" various attacks.

Notably, using Pokémon Change ends nearly all status effects on the Pokémon, both positive and negative.  This includes super or mini size, Starman invincibility, metal form, Franklin or Screw Attack badges, etc.  The exceptions to this rule are slowed-time, healing in progress, and Smash Ball power, which remain through the change.
