The Poké Ball (Japanese: モンスターボール, Monsutābōru, Monster Ball) is an item that, if thrown, will release one of a number of Pokémon. The Pokémon do a number of things, including attack one's opponent, change the properties of the stage, and induce status effects. The Poké Balls in Super Smash Bros. release Pokémon from Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow, while the Poké Balls in Super Smash Bros. Melee release Pokemon from Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal in addition to Pokémon from Red/Blue/Yellow. The Poké Balls in Super Smash Bros. Brawl release Pokémon from all four series, including Red/Blue/Yellow, Gold/Silver/Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen, and Diamond/Pearl. In Brawl, the Poké Ball makes a unique sound effect (which comes from the games) when it appears, thus alerting one to it's presence even if it appears off screen. The Poké Ball is a very good weapon because it can cause some damage as a projectile with high knockback and can release a highly damaging Pokemon like Metagross. In the games a pokeball can be bought for 200 dollars. You may also buy Great balls and Ultra balls, which are more likely to trap a pokemon inside it. Once per game, the trainer will obtain a Masterball, they will always catch a pokemon. Other pokeballs are available such as Net balls, Nest Balls, Timer Balls, Reapeat Balls ect. These each have a different specialty in catching pokemon.

Pokeball

The Poké Ball from Super Smash Bros.

If you go into Training Mode and use a Poké Ball, whatever Pokémon comes out of it will come out of the next Poké Ball thrown in Melee mode.

Also, in Brawl, the number of Poké Balls that can be onscreen at once has been reduced to 3, instead of the infinite number of Poké Balls that could appear in Melee.

The Poké Ball is also featured as a trophy in Melee and Brawl.

Trivia

  • You have a 1/493 chance of getting a Celebi, Mew or Jirachi, which cause an announcement window congratulating you. The Pokémon also have unique effects:

Celebi hovers, flies offscreen, and drops several trophies. Jirachi appears and flies off rapidly while dropping many stickers, and Mew drops a single CD and flies away(or a single Sticker if you have all CD's).

  • Any level CPU in Melee will pursue a Poke Ball, no matter how far. Even if it means that the CPU must cease fighting.

Trophy Info

An item used for capturing Pokemon and calling them out to battle. Pokemon live in these items which, despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable, Pokemon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokemon give temporary support to whoever calls them out. You never know which Pokemon you'll get, but some of them are devastatingly powerful.

  • Pokemon Red/Blue (1998)
  • Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (2007)
