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.
Charizard can no longer glide.
Normal Moves
- Ivysaur's neutral air has a new animation where it points its plant towards the screen and spins its leaves. It hits 6 times.
Special moves
- Pokémon Change can now be used in the air, and is much quicker.
- Charizard's side special, Rock Smash, has been replaced with Flare Blitz, as in Super Smash Bros. 4.
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 is changed from Mega Charizard X back to Triple Finish.
