Poké Balls are important items from the Pokémon series. They are compact spheres with the purpose of storing and mobilizing Pokémon when they are not in battle. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Poké Balls appear as items in all six installments and serve as the Pokémon series symbol.
Poké Balls have a Master Ball variant that is also an item in the Super Smash Bros. series from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS onward, and it specifically releases only rare and Legendary Pokémon.
Usage[]
When thrown to the ground, the Poké Ball releases a random Pokémon, which says its cry. Each Pokémon has its own characteristics and specific actions, whether it be attacking, producing status effects, or even affecting the entire stage, making the Poké Ball work similarly to an Assist Trophy.
For their on-screen appearance, every Pokémon fighter appears from a Poké Ball. Furthermore, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Pokémon Trainer uses a Poké Ball to switch between three different Pokémon: Charizard, Squirtle, and Ivysaur as well as to send one out for their on-screen appearance.
Background information[]
Poké Balls are a recurring and fundamental item in the Pokémon franchise. Poké Balls are used by Pokémon Trainers to catch wild Pokémon, store them, and transport them more easily. There are different types of Poké Balls in the Pokémon world, each having specialized functions, but the standard Poké Balls are colored red and white.
