Pyra is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was confirmed as a playable character along with Mythra on February 17th, 2021, and is scheduled for release in March 2021. Much like Zelda and Sheik in Melee and Brawl, Pyra and Mythra operate as a two-in-one fighter, with the player being able to willingly switch between the two. Pyra and Mythra are classified as Fighters #79 and #80 respectively.

Skye Bennett reprises her role as both Pyra and Mythra in English, while Shino Shimoji will likely reprise her role as them in Japanese.

Trivia

• Pyra and Mythra are the fourth team of characters to share a character slot via transformation, the first three being Zelda and Sheik in Melee and Brawl, Samus and Zero Suit Samus in Brawl, and Pokemon Trainer.
  • They are the first DLC characters to be transformations.
• Succeeding Min Min, Pyra and Mythra are the second and third characters that:
  • Are not the protagonist of their game, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, with its protagonist Rex instead assisting them in their Final Smashes. Rex did not make into the base roster because he was a new character at the time.
  • Were spirits in the base game.
    • Coincidentally their games of origin were planed for the base game, but the base game roster had already been finished by then.
