Unblockable attack

An unblockable attack is an attack that cannot be defended against with a shield or a counterattack. Unblockable attacks tend to be exceptionally powerful and are often Final Smashes, wielded by bosses, or attacks from rare Pokémon and Assist Trophies.

All grabs are unblockable, and so will not be included in the following list.
