Pokémon Trainer is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Aesthetics
Leaf, the female Pokémon Trainer from FireRed/LeafGreen, makes her first appearance as an alternate costume.- Squirtle appears to have a new dash animation that involves riding a water wave.
- Squirtle has a more upright stance.
- Triple Finish has a different text box and animations.
Attributes
The Stamina mechanic has been removed, eliminating the necessity of switching out Pokémon to restore their power.
Normal Moves
- Squirtle's forward aerial now has additional water effects alongside the kick.
- Ivysaur's neutral aerial has a new animation where it points its plant towards the screen and spins its leaves. It hits 6 times.
Special moves
- Bullet Seed now has a finishing blow.
- {{buff|Withdraw is much faster and stronger, dealing 11% rather than 8%.
- {{nerf|though it stops on impact, no longer continuing to rack up further damage.
- Pokémon Change can now be used in the air, and is much quicker. Like in Brawl, it also offers brief invincibility upon switching out, though the quicker switch time allows it to potentially combo into another Pokémon's moves. It also allows the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon to essentially choose the recovery that suits a situation best.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
These changes only affect Charizard, who was a single fighter in the previous game.
Now that it is once again part of the Pokémon Trainer rotation, Charizard's down special, Rock Smash, has been replaced with Pokemon Change, effectively eliminating Rock Smash from its moveset.- Similarly, its Final Smash was reverted from Mega Charizard X to Triple Finish.
- Charizard's Flare Blitz is far stronger, from 19% -> 26%. It also deals much more knockback.
