Pyra is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was confirmed as a playable character along with Mythra on February 17th, 2021, and is scheduled for release in March 2021. Much like Zelda and Sheik in Melee and Brawl, Pyra and Mythra operate as a two-in-one fighter, with the player being able to willingly switch between the two. Pyra and Mythra are classified as Fighters #79 and #80 respectively.

Skye Bennett reprises her role as both Pyra and Mythra in English, while Shino Shimoji will likely reprise her role as them in Japanese.

Known information

  • Pyra is tied to Mythra as a two-in-one fighter, similar to Zelda and Sheik in Melee and Brawl. She can transform into Mythra quickly, however it is currently unknown if it will be bound to down special.
  • Based on their reveal trailer, Pyra and Mythra appear to have a similar moveset, with their main differences being their respective Specials as well as the speed and power of their attacks. Following the archetypical traits of a transforming character, Pyra appears to be the "slow but strong" of the duo.
