Changes from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Aesthetics
- Ivysaur's plant bulb now features a more streamlined texture, rather than the "leaf veins" used in Brawl.
- Much like other characters, Ivysaur always faces the screen regardless of which direction its facing, making its stance mirrored.
Attributes
- The Stamina mechanic has been removed, eliminating the necessity of switching out Pokémon to restore their power.
Normal Moves
- Ivysaur's forward tilt reaches further and does far more damage.
- Ivysaur's down smash has greatly increased reach.
- Ivysaur's dash attack has a new animation, appearing to be a shoulder charge/headbutt rather than a leap attack.
Aerial Moves
- Ivysaur's neutral aerial has a new animation where it points its bulb towards the screen and spins its leaves, hitting 6 times. It appears to possess more range than his previous neutral aerial, and its hitboxes appear disjointed.
- Ivysaur's up aerial causes less downward momentum and no longer causes it to fast fall. This makes it easier to use as a conventional attack, but less safe since Ivysaur no longer pops downwards.
Special Moves
- Bullet Seed now has a finishing blow.
- 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, or function somewhat as an alternative "air dodge". It also allows the user to essentially choose the recovery that suits a situation best.
- Spamming Pokémon Change will grant no invincibility frames for a period of time.
- Triple Finish has a different text box and animations, making it identical to how they appear in the Generation VII games.
