In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Manaphy uses Heart Swap when coming out of a Poké Ball. This switches the controls of the character of the player who threw the Poké Ball with those of another player's character. Damage meters are also swapped, and if a character is knocked out, the player controlling the character at that time loses a stock (instead of the player who originally controlled that character).
