Ravaging Pikachu:

Um... Hi, I want to be as good as posible to help to make this a better web site.

I also imagine that a Pokemon's self-control would snap, destroying everything in its path, not being forced to, but by itself. And it would be Ash's Pikachu. Think about that for a killer episode. Heh heh.

The Subspace Emissary

Ravaging Pikachu:

'''The Subspace Emissary''' (Japanese: '''亜空の使者''' ''The Subspace Emissary'') is a single-player game that is contained within [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. It is a side-scrolling action game with a storyline that is said to emphasize character development. All of the playable characters are protagonists, including {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] and {{p|Lucario}}.

The characters form teams based on the developments of the story. Masahiro Sakurai has stated that most hidden characters are unlocked by simply playing through The Subspace Emissary and, indeed, Lucario is unlocked in this fashion. A second player can join at any time, though the camera will focus on player one.

In order to obtain trophies of the enemies in this game, the player must throw a Trophy Stand at them. This acts just like a [[Poké Ball]] as it 'captures' the opponent when they are at low health. It also works against bosses, such as {{p|Rayquaza}}.

==Plot==
[[Image:Brawl Boss Rayquaza.jpg|right|thumb|A boss fight against Rayquaza.]]
[[Image:Lucario Metaknight.jpg|right|thumb|Lucario's team.]]
Led by a being known as the Ancient Minister, the Subspace Army's plan is to cut apart the world and carry it into Subspace. This is achieved by two R.O.B.s detonating a Subspace Bomb and the minions known as Primid, which are created by using shadow bugs, attacking anyone who resists. Now everyone must join together to stop this threat.

==={{p|Rayquaza}}===
Separated from DK, Diddy Kong sees an Arwing get shot down by a blast from a nearby lake. Upon reaching the lake, Rayquaza emerges from the water and captures Diddy Kong but then Fox jumps out of the ship and makes a dramatic rescue. Rayquaza then attacks Fox with a ball of energy, but Fox reflects it back at Rayquaza. Fox and Diddy Kong then fight Rayquaza.

Along with the other bosses in the game, Rayquaza is fought again in the final stage, The Great Maze.

==={{p|Pikachu}}===
While searching for her stolen power suit in the research facility, Zero Suit Samus discovers Pikachu, whose electricity is being harnessed for the facility's power in a capsule-like machine. Seeing the pain it causes to Pikachu, Samus uses her Paralyzer Whip to free it, sounding an alarm. Pikachu and Samus travel together throughout the facility and the Bomb Factory.

===[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]]===
Lucas bumps into the Pokémon Trainer at The Ruined Zoo. They decide to team up to help rescue Ness from Wario and help Pokémon Trainer capture {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Charizard}}. The two travel together throughout most of the game.

He starts out with only {{p|Squirtle}}, and later captures Ivysaur and Charizard at The Ruins.

==={{p|Lucario}}===
At the top of a snowy mountain, Meta Knight and the Ice Climbers encounter a meditating Lucario. After a fight that unlocks Lucario, he helps Meta Knight in his mission to recover his stolen battleship Halberd from a hoard of Mr. Game & Watches.

He later uses his [[aura]] to detect Snake hiding in a box and an approaching enemy threat. Lucario then assists the characters in fighting Duon.

==={{p|Jigglypuff}}===
After beating the Subspace Emissary, the player can return to the swamp and locate a door that did not exist before. Upon entering the door, a cinematic shows Jigglypuff {{m|Sing|singing}} at [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Pokémon Stadium]]. The player then fights Jigglypuff; if the player succeeds, Jigglypuff joins the team. Other than this, Jigglypuff doesn't have a significant role in the story.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|Transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with [[Duplica's Ditto]]]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto is also featured in ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' under the ownership of [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee.]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{M|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{M|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally.
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by a Ditto in the {{pkmn|anime}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
*It is one of the few Pokémon that has the same sprite on [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
* Ditto's Generation III sprites, its appearance in Melee and anime appearances show a pink color, contrasting the purple hue displayed elsewhere.

===Glitches===
Ditto is closely associated with several [[glitch]]es throughout the series, most stemming from its nearly-unique ability.

In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M]], an invisible wild Ditto will still be in battle with the player where 'M was before, and the battle will not end. Additionally, a Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]], which allows the player to encounter any Pokémon or glitch Pokémon (correspondence based upon [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html this list]). Furthermore, switching the order of moves in a Transformed Ditto's movelist in-battle causes Ditto to have the {{m|--|blank space glitch move}} when the battle ends.

By exploiting the factors that determine a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it.

Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

===The Transform Paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It may also be based on an undifferentiated cell, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It also can be based on a {{wp|blob}}.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with [[Duplica's Ditto]]]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto is also featured in ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' under the ownership of [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee.]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{M|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{M|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally.
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto take the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by a Ditto in the {{pkmn|anime}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
*It is one of the few Pokémon that has the same sprite on [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
* Ditto's Generation III sprites, its appearance in Melee and anime appearances show a pink color, contrasting the purple hue displayed elsewhere.

===Glitches===
Ditto is closely associated with several [[glitch]]es throughout the series, most stemming from its nearly-unique ability.

In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M]], an invisible wild Ditto will still be in battle with the player where 'M was before, and the battle will not end. Additionally, a Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]], which allows the player to encounter any Pokémon or glitch Pokémon (correspondence based upon [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html this list]). Furthermore, switching the order of moves in a Transformed Ditto's movelist in-battle causes Ditto to have the {{m|--|blank space glitch move}} when the battle ends.

By exploiting the factors that determine a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it.

Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

===The Transform Paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It may also be based on an undifferentiated cell, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It also can be based on a {{wp|blob}}.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Metamorph - From ''{{wp|metamorph}}''.

'''Super Smash Bros. Melee''' is a fighting game for the Nintendo [[GameCube]] and the sequel to the [[Nintendo 64]] title [[Super Smash Bros.]] It, like its predecessor, pits [[Nintendo]]'s many mascots against one another, and this time includes four Pokémon as playable characters, as opposed to the two featured in the previous game. Only {{p|Pikachu}} is available at the start, but eventually {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}} can be unlocked.
==Playable Pokémon==
===Pikachu===
Pikachu is a very fast character and pretty easy to knock of the stage due to his light weight. Pikachu taunts by saying: "Pika, Pika" and will wave at the players.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: {{m|Headbutt}}
*A (while dashing): Running Headbutt
*Up+A: Tail Smack
*Left or Right+A: Pika Kick
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Tail Somersault
*Smash Left or Right+A: {{m|ThunderShock}}
*Smash Down+A: Electric Flower

=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Pika Roll
*Up+A: Tail Chop
*Foward+A: Electric Drill
*Backward+A: Glider
*Down+A: Electric Screw
=====B-Attacks=====
[[Image:Pikachu Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Pikachu]]
*'''B: Thunder Jolt'''
A ball of electricity will slinky across a level until it hits something or shorts out. When in the air, a small electric ball will appear and will slinky when it hits the ground.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Quick Attack}}'''
Pikachu will move blindingly fast from one point to another, up to two times. This attack will also slightly damage an enemy if Pikachu passes through one. This is Pikachu's recovery move and after executing it, Pikachu cannot do anything until he reaches the ground or grabs a ledge.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Thunder}}'''
Pikachu summons a cloud that will strike a thunderbolt down towards the ground. The thunderbolt cannot pass through any terrain objects or floors. The thunderbolt will damage any enemies in the air while on its way down. If the thunderbolt strikes Pikachu, any enemies near him will take the most damage.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Skull Bash}}'''
Pikachu will charge up and rocket sideways. Depending on how long the B button is held, Pikachu can fly farther and hit harder. This is not considered a recovery move, so Pikachu can use it again and again while in the air.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use ''Z'' or ''R+A''. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Electric Shock
*Forward: Electrocution
*Backward: {{m|Submission}}
*Up: Electric Skull
*Down: Electric Slam

===Pichu===
[[Image:Pichu Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Pichu]]
Pichu's attacks are identical to Pikachu's, although Pichu damages itself while using attacks that use electricity. Pichu is fairly quick, actually one of the fastest characters, but contrary to its speed, it is so light and small, therefore, it is very easy to send it flying. Pichu taunts by saying "Pichu!" and doing a little jiggle on the floor, either on its back or hopping on one foot. Pichu is one of the only characters who can do two different taunts depending on which way it is facing, the other being Captain Falcon.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: Generic attack
*A (while dashing): Headbutt
*Up+A: Tail Hit
*Side+A: Small Kick
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Head Slam
*Smash Left or Right+A: Sizzle {{m|ThunderShock}} (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
*Smash Down+A: Head Sweep
=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Pichu Roll
*Up+A: Tail Chop
*Forward+A: Electric Drill (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
*Backward+A: Glider
*Down+A: Electric Screw (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
=====B-Attacks=====
*'''B: Thunder Jolt'''
Pichu will damage itself and release an electrical ball that will arc across the ground until it dissipates or hits something.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Quick Attack}}'''
Like Pikachu, Pichu will zip really fast from one point to another up to two times. Unlike Pikachu however, Pichu will not damage anyone if it passes through an enemy while executing this, but instead will damage itself. 1% for the first traversion, then 3% for the next. This is Pichu's third jump.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Thunder}}'''
Pichu will summon a cloud to strike a lightning bolt down towards the ground. Pichu will damage itself if the bolt strikes Pichu. Unlike Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}}, this bolt travels slightly slower and as such, when hitting an enemy, it will shock them up to 4 times, dealing accumulative damage.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Skull Bash}}'''
Depending on how long you hold B, Pichu will charge up and zoom across to hit anyone in the way. Pichu can hold this charge for slightly longer than Pikachu and is much stronger when fully charged. Pichu will damage itself when using this move.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.

*A or Z: Shock
*Forward: Electrocution
*Backward: {{m|Submission}}
*Up: Electric Skull
*Down: Slam

===Mewtwo===
[[Image:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Mewtwo]]
Despite being a legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo is easily knocked around. This is mainly due to the fact Mewtwo is always floating. Mewtwo will never run or dash across the ground, but hover and slide across. Mewtwo has the second highest jump in the game, after Falco. Mewtwo taunts by spinning around and laughing evily like Gannondorf. Mewtwo can be unlocked by playing mulitplayer melee for 24 hours, then defeating Mewtwo in one-on-one combat. Or playing 700 battles and defeating him in one-on-one combat.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: Dark Flash
*A A: Dark Flame
*A (while Dashing): Torch
*Up+A: Flip
*Side+A: {{m|Tail Whip}}
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Galaxy Force
*Smash Left or Right+A: Shadow Blast
*Smash Down+A: Shadow Bomb
=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Body Spark
*Up+A: Somersault Tail Hit
*Foward+A: Shadow Scratch
*Backward+A: Tail Flick
*Down+A: Meteor Kick (a Meteor Smash)
=====B-Attacks=====
*'''B: {{m|Shadow Ball}}'''
Press B once to cause Mewtwo to start charging. If he is hit while charging, he will lose the charge, but if he has charged long enough, and is hit, the charge for the Shadow Ball will still remain. Tilting the control stick left or right will cause Mewtwo to dodge in that direction and cease charging, preserving the Shadow Ball. Pressing R or L while charging will cease the charging without Mewtwo dodging. Mewtwo's Shadow Ball can also be left charging indefinitely and will damage anyone if they come into physical contact with the ball. While throwing it, Mewtwo will recoil, significantly if he is in the air. The ball, when thrown, will travel along a zig-zag jagged path until it hits something or dissipates. If the Shadow Ball hits a terrain object, it will erupt causing a small explosion that will cause splash damage to anyone nearby.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Teleport}}'''
Mewtwo teleports once in the direction of your choice. Mewtwo is invulnerable to damage while teleporting, but can still be grabbed. Teleport can't penetrate terrain objects or impenetrable floors.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Disable}}'''
Short range attack that temporary disables the opponent, rendering it dizzy and unable to move. The amount of time the opponent is dazed depends on its current damage. If you use this move again when the opponent is already disabled, it will flick the enemy up in the air as if you punched it. If you use this move in the air (successfully) the enemy will immediately start to freefall until it hits the ground.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Confusion}}'''
The opponent is flipped around in the air, causing damage. Unlike other moves this move does not degrade in damage if used continuously. If used with the right timing, this attack will also reflect projectiles.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Shock
*Forward: Barrage
*Backward: {{m|Psychic}} - Reverse Throw
*Up: {{m|Psychic}} - Spiral Throw
*Down: {{m|Body Slam}}

===Jigglypuff===
[[Image:Jigglypuff Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Jigglypuff (Purin)]]
Jigglypuff is bouncy, has average speed, and is one of the lightest characters in the game. Like Kirby, she is able to fly back onto the stage, but unlike Kirby, after five jumps, she doesn't have an Up+B recovery move. She taunts by spinning on one foot and winking at the camera while calling out her name.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: Punch
*A A: One-two Punch
*A (while Dashing): {{m|Tackle}}
*Up+A: Back Kick
*Side+A: Roundhouse Kick
*Down+A: {{m|Low Kick}}
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Headbutt
*Smash Left or Right+A: {{m|Jump Kick}}
*Smash Down+A: Split Kick
=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Body Spark
*Up+A: Overhead Punch
*Foward+A: Drop Kick
*Backward+A: Back Kick
*Down+A: Spinning Drop Kick
=====B-Attacks=====
*'''B: {{m|Rollout}}'''
Hold down B to charge up speed and power. Jigglypuff spins in place (always facing the camera), and after letting go of B, rolls forward, hitting any opponent and damaging any container, stage hazard, etc. in its path. Tapping the control stick in the opposite direction will stop Jigglypuff, and allow you to reverse directions. If the attack ends with Jigglypuff in the air, you won't be able to recover.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Sing}}'''
Jigglypuff sings, lulling enemies close by to sleep. The opponent's damage determines how long they'll stay asleep. Not recommended on opponents with little damage, as they can fall asleep ''and recover'' in the time it takes Jigglypuff to stop singing.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Rest}}'''
Very short range attack that inflicts 20-30% damage and sends opponents flying. Good for easy KOs if the enemy's damage is high enough, but Jigglypuff must make direct contact with the opponent. Also, the move will only work the second the player hits Down+B; it takes a few seconds for her to recover, leaving Jigglypuff wide open.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Pound}}'''
Jigglypuff lashes out with her arm, inflicting 10-15% damage and popping the enemy straight up into the air. Good for setting up juggles, and also works well as a recovery move once a player has expended all of her jumps.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Right hook
*Forward: Quick Inflate
*Backward: Back Suplex
*Up: Pop-Up
*Down: Roll Around

==Poké Ball Pokémon==

One of the items that can be picked up in Super Smash Bros. Melee is the [[Poké Ball]]; with it numerous Pokémon can be summoned to damage enemies. These Pokémon and their effects in the game are listed below:

<table>
<tr>
<td width=100>{{p|Venusaur}}</td>
<td>Venusaur causes an {{m|Earthquake}} around him that causes all characters touching the ground to go flying.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Charizard}}</td>
<td>Similar to the fire flower, this Pokémon uses the {{m|Flamethrower}} attack when released. He alternates between shooting it left and right.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Blastoise}}</td>
<td>This Pokémon uses the {{m|Hydro Pump}} attack when it comes out. Unlike the previous game, Blastoise will be pushed backward a little with each blast, meaning it can fall off if summoned with its back too close to the edge.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Clefairy}}</td>
<td>Uses {{m|Metronome}} to use a random attack like Togepi, but typically does a lot more damage. These moves are {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Explosion}}, or {{m|Fire Spin}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Electrode}}</td>
<td>Electrode uses {{m|Explosion}} after 3 seconds. You can throw him in the last second or so if you're quick enough.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Weezing}}</td>
<td>Emits {{m|Poison Gas}} and juggles any person that comes in close contact.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Chansey}}</td>
<td>Uses {{m|Softboiled}} to releases eggs that may contain additional items or heal a small amount of damage.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Goldeen}}</td>
<td>No effect, just {{m|Splash}}es around. <td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Staryu}}</td>
<td>Chases after the nearest opponent, then locks itself into position and shoots with {{m|Swift}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Snorlax}}</td>
<td>Flies up into the air and descends over a large area of the screen using {{m|Body Slam}}. Any character who comes in contact with Snorlax in either direction is sent flying.</td>
</tr>
