Event 37: Legendary Pokémon is an Event Match available in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
In this event, a player must defeat 4 giant Wire Frames and a Jigglypuff. Each has 2 lives. The only item that will appear is the Poké Ball. Every Poké Ball holds either a legendary Pokémon or a Wobbuffet. The only character on the other team who can use a Pokéball is Jigglypuff. Only Jigglypuff can pick up and use Pokéballs, and that is all she will do. All the Wire Frames attack the player's character. The goal of this event is to defeat both Jigglypuff and the Wire Frames.
Strategies
Jigglypuff should be the first character the player should KO, as if she gets a Legendary it will have a huge negative effect on the player. Jigglypuff can be easily defeated by using the Poké Balls. The Wire Frames should be dealt with last. A good Pokémon like Moltres and Lugia will KO the Wire Frames fast, while others like Raikou and Ho-oh will raise their damage percentage to a point where you can K.O them easily.
The player can also use Ganondorf's no-glitch Cruel Melee strategy to kill the Wire Frames besides Jigglypuff in the beginning. Go to the edge, wait, down smash when they all come down, then go to the Pokéballs.
Use Jigglypuff and rest when the giant wire frames are on high damage because of Entei/Ho-oh/Raiko/Zapdos, and smash or wait for a Moltress for the other Jigglypuff.
The world record strategy involves the use of Mewtwo's Confusion pull-through glitch, wherein if Confusion is used on a standing opponent as Mewtwo falls by the platform the opponent is standing on, the opponent will be pulled through the platform. Use this glitch to kill as many wireframes as possible throughout the match. Ignore the first Poké Ball, as it almost always contains a Wobbuffet, but grab the second before Jigglypuff does.
- Captain Falcon is also good choose thanks to his extremely fast dash speed, powerful, heavy and fast air speed.
Trivia
- During the battle the music for Poké Floats plays.
- Even though the title of the event says "Legendary Pokémon", you can still damage the enemies normally. It's just the Pokémon will do most of the damage.
Beating this match will unlock the secret character, Pichu.
