Unlike the other fighters, Pokémon Trainer doesn't actually fight | Unlike the other fighters, Pokémon Trainer doesn't actually fight his opponents himself. Instead, he sends out his [[party|Pokémon team]] of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} to fight on his behalf, each with its own set of moves, strengths, and weaknesses. The Trainer is able to switch between the three Pokémon using the Down-Special move, Pokémon Change, which each Pokémon has access to. If a Pokémon fights for too long, it will gradually weaken. The Pokémon Trainer's [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}, is performed by all three Pokémon at once. | ||

When his Pokémon are defeated, he remains in the background, but pulls his hat over his eyes and assumes a defeated posture. | ||

A {{sbw|type effectiveness|simplified form}} of [[type effectiveness]] is implemented for each of the three Pokémon: Squirtle is weak to Grass and resists Fire, Ivysaur is weak to Fire and resists Water, and Charizard is weak to Water and resists Grass. A resisted attack does 0.9x knockback, while a super-effective attack does 1.1x knockback. No characters aside from another Pokémon Trainer (or a Kirby having copied one) have access to damaging Grass- and Water-type attacks, but several characters have KO-capable Fire-type attacks, which overall gives Squirtle more survivability and cuts Ivysaur's noticeably. It also heavily affects matches where one Pokémon Trainer faces another, as each player will try to switch to gain the advantage. | A {{sbw|type effectiveness|simplified form}} of [[type effectiveness]] is implemented for each of the three Pokémon: Squirtle is weak to Grass and resists Fire, Ivysaur is weak to Fire and resists Water, and Charizard is weak to Water and resists Grass.
