Trivia

Every random Generation IV Pokémon introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl had its Poké Ball role removed in the sequel, with only Manaphy being changed into a stage hazard in the Kalos Pokémon League.
This is the first Super Smash Bros. game to have playable Pokémon from more than two generations.
- This is also the first Super Smash Bros. game to only add one new playable Pokémon character. All past games introduced at least 2.
In Smash Run, Chandelure can absorb fire and darkness attacks. The fire immunity can be explained by its possible ability Flash Fire but its immunity to darkness attacks is unfitting considering that Chandelure is weak to Ghost and Dark-type attacks.
