*[[File:JigglypuffIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right]]'''{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}''': Returning from ''Smash Bros.'', Jigglypuff gains [[Rollout]] as its new [[neutral special move]], but otherwise retains its role as a seemingly "underpowered" character that is easy to knock out but is capable of both incredibly versatile recovery and a powerful trump card move in Rest. However, its overall attack power, attack speed, range, and midair jumping velocity are improved, and its Rest is both stronger and easier to combo into, such as the [[Space animal slayer]], all of which prompt it to be competitively regarded as one of the best characters.

*[[File:PichuIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right]]'''{{SSBM|Pichu}}''': Registered as Pokémon #172 in the games' National Pokédex listing, Pichu (name unchanged from the Japanese version) was introduced in the second generation as a new "baby" stage in Pikachu's evolutionary line - a Pokémon that will hatch out of an egg produced by Pikachu that are left to breed at a daycare. It is an Electric-type Pokémon that is 0.3 m (1'0<nowiki>''</nowiki>) tall and weighs 2 kg (4.4 lbs). Like Pikachu, (which it can evolve into) Pichu can store electricity within its cheek pouches and expel it outward to attack, but unlike Pikachu, its inexperience with handling electricity often causes it to damage itself when attempting to unleash a strong electric attack. This does not carry over into the Pokémon RPGs as a game mechanic, but nonetheless, as a basic-stage species, it is extremely weak in Pokémon battles. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', there is no dispute that Pichu is an inferior [[clone]] of Pikachu, having similar moves across the board but being even easier to knock out. While some of its attacks and traits are actually slightly stronger and faster than Pikachu's, Pichu is crippled by many of its attacks actually adding damage to its own damage meter fairly quickly as a side effect. This leads it to be consistently considered the worst character competitively, or at least a candidate for the label.


*[[File:MewtwoIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right]]'''{{SSBM|Mewtwo}}''': Registered as Pokémon #150 in the games' National Pokédex listing, Mewtwo (name unchanged from the Japanese version) was introduced in the first generation as a Psychic-type Pokémon that is 2 m (6'7<nowiki>''</nowiki>) tall and weighs 122 kg (269 lbs). It is unique in the Pokémon setting because it is an individual lifeform that was created by humankind, cloned from the Pokémon [[Mew]], and it possesses incredible powers that help categorize it alongside the various all-powerful Pokémon that are typically referred to as "Legendary Pokémon". A Mewtwo was the focus of the anime continuity's first movie and a direct-to-video follow-up, in which it was depicted as sapient and capable of telepathically projecting human language and was initially shown in a villainous role. In the RPG series, Mewtwo is one of the most overall powerful and threatening Pokémon to bring into battle against opponent trainers' Pokémon teams. However, its role in its debut appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is very different; it is a very odd blend of various attributes that excel and various other important attributes that are very lacking, and features multiple non-damaging utility moves and a chargeable projectile in [[Shadow Ball]]. Its lacking power, range, and speed in its attack options, its subpar resilience, and its highly situational special moves results in it being regularly considered close to being one of the worst competitive character choices.
