- "Substitute" may also refer to an alternate character.
Substitute is a move used by Greninja in Super Smash Bros. 4. Upon use, Greninja fades away and a Substitute goes in its place. This move is functionally similar to Lucario's Double Team as a counterattack, however, a direction can be held after a successful counter to perform the countering attack in that direction.
Origin
Substitute is a Normal-type status move in the Pokémon games introduced in Generation I. When used, the Pokémon loses 25% of its maximum HP from its current HP and leaves the screen, replaced by a Poké Doll, the substitute. The substitute shares the original Pokémon's stats and typing. When a substitute takes the amount of damage sacrificed by the original Pokémon or more, it fades away. When the Substitute user wants to use another move, the Substitute and Pokémon will temporarily switch places to allow that said Pokémon to use it. If the Pokémon does not have enough HP to make the substitute, then the move will fail.
Trivia
- A Substitute was seen in the Super Smash Bros. Direct, taking Masahiro Sakurai's place as he introduced the Poké Ball Pokémon.
