Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.): Difference between revisions

Squirtle is a fast, lightweight fighter and uses various attacks using its shell and jets of water. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to dash upward on a wave of water to recover from falls, {{m|Withdraw}}, to retreats to its shell and propel itself forward, shooting water from its shell; which makes up for its below-average dash speed. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies backward with a stream of chargeable water, but does no damage at all (unless fired without charging it up, though it also shortens the range). Because of its lightweight build, it excels in aerial combat and is hard to combo, but is easy to knock off the stage and KO. Squirtle is also the shortest-ranged of the 3 Pokémon and needs to be in close range to deal damage, due to its small size and poor reach. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.  

Ivyaur is perhaps the most difficult of the 3 Pokémon to play as. In many ways, Ivysaur is the balance between the heavyweight, hard-hitting {{p|Charizard}} and the lightweight, agile {{p|Squirtle}}. Despite this, it lacks the heavy hitting moves of Charizard and the fast rate of attack from Squirtle. It is very good at racking up damage percentages with its attacks, but has a very hard time KOing its opponent; its strongest finishing moves are too laggy to pose a threat. Ivysaur's worst problem though, is its atrocious aerial game and recovery. Despite these flaws, Ivysaur can be used to irritate its foes and rack up high damage percentages with its attacks (especially Bullet Seed). It also has a decent grab and throw game, its forward and down throws can leave the opponent vulnerable to combos for the other 2 Pokémon to finish it off. It uses mostly [[physical]] {{type|Grass}} attacks, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}}, a rapid upward hitting move, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, a tether recovery move where vines are shot out to latch onto edges of a stage and pull Ivysaur up; but like all tether recoveries, it can be edgehogged and prevent Ivysaur from grabbing onto the ledge; sending it to its doom. It also uses the projectile attack {{m|Razor Leaf}}. It uses {{m|SolarBeam}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.
