[[File:Pokemon Change.png|thumb|right|The order in which Pokémon Change will rotate (Squirtle→Ivysaur→Charizard)]]'''Pokémon Change''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンチェンジ''' ''Pokémon Change'') is {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}}'s down special move in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Unlike other special moves being exclusive to one Pokémon (for instance, {{m|Rock Smash}} only being available to {{p|Charizard}}), Pokémon Change is universal between {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} (besides [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]]).

==Effect==
The '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
When sent out, each Pokémon is initially granted 120 points of energy called stamina. One point of stamina is deducted for every second a Pokémon is in battle, thus allowing for a maximum of approximately 2 minutes of normal performance. Executing an attack also drains 1 stamina point. When a Pokémon's stamina reaches 30% (or 36 points), their stance will change to signal oncoming fatigue. Once stamina reaches 0, the Pokémon's attacks drop in effectiveness. The stamina counter will reset when the Pokémon is knocked out.
==Core mechanics==
What sets the Pokémon Trainer apart from the other playable characters in the series is that he 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 their own set of moves, strengths, and weaknesses. The Trainer is encouraged to switch between the three Pokémon using the Down-Special move, [[Pokémon Change]], which each Pokémon has access to. The Pokémon Trainer's [[Final Smash]], Triple Finish, is also shared amongst the three Pokémon.


Pokémon Change mimics [[Pokémon anime|anime]]/[[Pokémon manga|manga]]-style battling by switching out to the next available Pokémon to let the previously used one rest. This is reflected in that while not in battle, each Pokémon will regenerate 2 points of stamina per second until restored to 120.

Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and streams of water. is can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls as well as {{m|Withdraw}}, in which case it retreats to its shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies with a stream of water. Because of its light weight, it excels in aerial attacks, but is easy to knock out. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.


While switching out, the user is temporarily immune to any on-screen attacks. Damage percentage is still carried over. Effects such as increased or decreased size held by the previous Pokémon will ''not'' be carried over during Pokémon Change ([[Final Smash]] wielding being one exception). Pokémon Change cannot be activated in midair.
In {{sbw|Subspace Emissary}}, Squirtle is the first Pokémon to appear alongside Pokémon Trainer. It is sent out to assist a distraught {{wb|Lucas}}.

Pokémon Change is disabled in [[The Subspace Emissary]] until the player obtains Ivysaur and Charizard, respectively.

In many ways, Ivysaur is the balance between the heavyweight, hard-hitting {{p|Charizard}} and the lightweight, agile {{p|Squirtle}}. It uses mostly [[physical]] {{type2|Grass}} attacks, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}}, a rapid aerial striking move, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, a recovery move where the vine is shot out to latch onto edges of a stage and pulled back up again. It also uses the projectile attack {{m|Razor Leaf}}. It uses {{m|SolarBeam}} in Red's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.


<br clear="all">
In {{sbw|Subspace Emissary}}, Ivysaur is found by the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Lucas after an encounter with {{wb|Ness}}'s captor, {{smw|Wario}}. This allows Pokémon Trainer to use [[Pokémon Change]] in the story mode.

Charizard is the Pokémon Trainer's powerhouse, boasting heavy-hitting moves and excellent recovery, but lacking in speed. It uses a variety of mostly physical attacks, such as {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful attack towards enemies directly in front, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skywards and allows it to glide. It can also use Flawethrower to attack from a short distance. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in Red's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.
 
In {{sbw|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found by the shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.

==Subspace Emissary==
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by {{wb|Lucas}} in the Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save {{wb|Ness}}. On their way to {{sbw|the Ruins}}, the two are ambushed by {{smw|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in {{sbw|The Ruined Hall}}, they are attacked by {{sbw|Galleom}}. Once defeated, it sets off a time bomb. Lucas saves Pokémon Trainer and they are then both saved by {{wk|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join Meta Knight, {{sbw|Marth}}, and {{sbw|Ike}} on their quest to take down the {{sbw|Subspace Army}}.

They represent {{t|water}}, {{t|grass}}, and {{t|fire}}, and they're all [[Damage modification|powerful]]."''
:'''Solid Snake:''' ''"So he makes his Pokémon fight while he sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me."''
:'''Roy Campbell:''' ''"It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer [[Wild Pokémon|wasn't there giving orders]]. In every {{pkmn|battle}}, there's a soldier doing the fighting, and a commander telling him what to do. By working together as a [[Party|team]], they accomplish much more than either could on their own. So let's do this together, partner."''
:'''Solid Snake:''' ''"...Yeah... Whatever you say, Colonel."''

===Pokémon Trainer===
 
''"A person who {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|raises Pokémon}} and [[Pokémon training|trains]] them as [[Party|partners]] in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives [[Move|orders]] to the Pokémon and uses [[item]]s. It's not an exaggeration to say {{pkmn|battle}}s can be won or lost on a Trainer's [[Damage modification#Critical hit|single strategic move]]. Trainers pour their [[Happiness|hearts]] into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming [[Pokémon Master]]s."''
 
===Triple Finish===
''"The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen saying "It's {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}}!" when the attack hits."''
