15 Pokemon That Would Be Great In Super Smash Bros
From Generation 1 all the way to 8, from Kalos to Sinnoh, these Pokemon would make great fighters in Super Smash Bros. is one of the few Nintendo franchises that has appeared in every since the series launched on the N64 in 1999. Pikachu and Jigglypuff were the first to represent the Pokemon IP, but each new entry introduced more playable characters such as Mewtwo, Lucario, and Pichu. There are currently ten Pokemon to play as in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (if you count Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard as separate fighters) but that doesn't mean that couldn't hold their own in a fight against Solid Snake or Samus Aran. There are so many versatile and worthy Pokemon that could be great in the next big brawl, but here are a few that could capture the hearts of audiences with unique movesets and fighting styles. Updated August 22, 2022, by Kyle Chamaillard: There are countless Pokemon that could make excellent contenders in Super Smash Bros. Though DLC for the latest game has concluded and a new entry in the series is uncertain, we've decided to update this list with a few more Pocket Monsters that we would love to see face off against Mario, Link, and everyone else in the future. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Floette
A great middle-evolution Pokemon to bring into the fray would be Floette. It already has five different flowers that could be used as alternate costumes and its size and ability to fly could be used effectively to take out opponents like Bowser with ease. Floette could have the ability to float like Princess Peach or Daisy, but maybe for longer periods of time thanks to its tiny stature. This would make Floette lethal in the air, and it could also use the flower for devastating smash attacks. This would come at the cost of being incredibly lightweight and easy to KO, but there is still a ton of potential for Floette to blossom in Smash Bros. Bewear
Bewear would be easy to include in the next Smash Bros. because it's already in the game! Bewear is one of many Pokemon that appear after using the Pokeball item and it uses its Brutal Swing move to deal a decent amount of damage to opponents. This could be a fairly straightforward fighter that uses its magnificent power to achieve victory. Its weight could make it nearly impossible to knock off the stage and its Final Smash could be a giant hug that sends foes blasting off again. Don't let the friendly demeanor fool you, Bewear could be one of the strongest characters in the series if it gets the invitation. Sirfetch' d
One of the biggest complaints about the roster is the number of sword-wielding characters. From three iterations of Link to the army of Fire Emblem characters, it would be nice to see more than just people with swords available to play with. Well, Sirfetch' d is a duck with a giant leek, so including it in the next game could resolve the issue. The leek could have incredible range and pierce through shields like nothing. Sirfetch' d also has a shield that could be used to reflect projectiles or reduce the amount of damage it takes. If it could use its wings to recover after being knocked off the stage, Sirfetch' d could easily dominate in the air and on the ground. Gardevoir
Gardevoir has been appearing in the series since Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of the Pokemon that can appear after using the Pokeball item. Psychic-based fighters like Lucario and Mewtwo work well in Smash, and adding Gardevoir to the roster could introduce a more defensive style of gameplay compared to those two. This character would likely move a little faster than its Pokeball counterpart but would probably still be one of the slower Pokemon to play as. It could have a moveset that's designed to keep other fighters at a distance and shields to protect them from enemy projectiles. Its hitbox would be pretty big, but it should be able to float back to the stage easily if it gets knocked off. Lopunny
Lopunny might not be the most popular Pokemon, but it would be a fantastic addition to the Smash Bros. roster. It would be a very fast character, using its bunny-like reflexes to jump around the stage quickly while dishing out speedy attacks and combos. Its Mega Evolution would also be great for its Final Smash, powering the Pokemon up to deal out massive amounts of damage in a heartbeat. Its ears could be used for lethal smash attacks that send opponents flying or relentless combos that stack damage as quickly as this rabbit can kick. Ninetails
Ninetails would actually be a really fun fighter to see enter the fray in Smash. A majority of playable Pokemon are bipedal, but having one lower to the ground could give it an interesting hitbox. It also has lots of unique fire-based powers that could be utilized while creating its moveset. Beyond that, it has an Alolan form that could easily be used as an Echo Fighter that uses ice attacks instead of fire. Both fighters could use their long tails to deal tons of damage from a distance, and elemental attacks could sustain damage over time. Ninetails could be an extremely fast fighter that is lethal from anywhere on the battlefield. Beartic
Many of the common Pokemon types like fire, water, and electric are represented by the current roster of Pokemon fighters. It would be great if the next set of fighters could showcase the other types and their versatility in battle. Not only would Beartic be the first Ice-type Pokemon fighter in Smash, but it would also be one of the most intimidating to face off against. This giant bear would be incredibly difficult to knock out due to its size, and its claws could easily defeat small foes like Pichu or Ness. A range of ice attacks similar to Ice Climbers moveset could freeze enemies in their tracks and make them unable to dodge Beartic's next swing. Zoroark
Zoroark's unique abilities would make it a perfect candidate to appear in Super Smash Bros. Zoroark has the power to cast illusions to trick anyone that threatens it. It can use this power to create harrowing nightmares for anyone inflicted by them, though the illusions are incapable of actually hurting anyone. Zoroark could use this ability in a ton of creative ways to distract foes while it sneaks in to deal devastating amounts of damage. It could use Double Team to overwhelm and confuse foes or use illusions to create traps for anyone that comes close enough. Zoroark could play a lot like Greninja with a moveset that keeps everyone on their toes. Sneasler
Sneasler is one of the new Pokemon introduced as a rideable companion in . It uses its long claws to climb up mountains and can carry you on its back to reach new heights. Sneasler could easily represent the Hisui region and reign supreme as one of the best Pokemon fighters. Sneasler's average height and weight would make it a fairly well-balanced character to play as, but it would mostly thrive in face-to-face combat. Its massive claws could easily reach opponents before they attack you, and Sneasler could also use attacks like Poison Jab to inflict damage that builds up over time. It could also climb up walls for a short period of time to evade attacks or get the jump on its next target. Ampharos
Ampharos is an absolute legend and deserves all the attention in the world, including a spot on the Smash Bros. fighter list. Ampharos's body would be easy to make a hitbox out of, and it could use electrical powers to really spark conflict on the battlefield. There are already two Electric-type Pokemon fighters - Pikachu and Pichu -, but Ampharos would be a much heavier character with a slightly different moveset than them. Attacks like Thunder Punch and Electro Ball could shock foes right off the arena. And of course, it could when it grabs a Smash Ball to unleash its magnificent Mega form. Blaziken
Blaziken might not feel like a unique character to bring into the mix at first glance. Incineroar is already a Fire-type with a range of strong physical attacks, but Blaziken could offer an entirely different take on that playstyle. Unlike Incineroar, Blaziken could be a lightning-fast alternative to dealing massive amounts of damage with its fiery rage. Blaziken could easily run around the stage and use its powerful punches and kicks to deal devastating combos like Ryu or Kazuya. It could finish each combo with a fire attack like Blaze Kick that could send foes flying off the stage. Blaziken also has a Mega Evolution that would make it even stronger if used as a Final Smash. Grovyle
Grovyle is one of those middle evolutions that would probably work better than its final form. Sceptile would be an incredibly slow fighter, but Grovyle could be nearly as fast as Greninja and use attacks similar to Ivysaur's to defeat anyone bold enough to get close enough to this gecko. Grovyle could be a very quick and light fighter. It could use the blades on its arms when facing off in close-range combat and a set of grassy ranged attacks as well. It could even use moves like Giga Drain to absorb health from another fighter or Leaf Storm as a Final Smash to shred its opponent's chances of victory to pieces. Urshifu
While offered a fairly straightforward story with slight iterations on the franchise's core gameplay loop, its DLC provided a slew of exciting ideas and new mechanics. The Isle of Armor features a new area to explore, as well as a new Pokemon to befriend known as Kubfu. It's up to you to train and evolve Kubfu to the powerful Urshifu. What helps make Urshifu distinct is that it has two different fighting styles based on where it evolves. Its Single Strike form uses power to decimate foes while the Rapid Strike form uses patience to outwit its opponents. It would be cool if you could choose Urshifu's form on the character select screen and have both options offer opposing strengths and weaknesses like Pyra and Mythra. Hawlucha
Hawlucha was born to brawl. It's commonly known as the Wrestling Pokemon, and it lives up to that reputation with a luchador-inspired aesthetic and lethal movest of both flying and fighting type moves. Its lightning-fast mobility could make it hard for foes to keep up with and even more difficult to run away from. Hawlucha wouldn't be able to fly around constantly, but it could use its wings to either recover back to the stage or set itself up for a deadly aerial attack. Its short height could give it a major advantage over characters like Captain Falcon, but its lightweight could make Hawlucha easy to knock out if it's hit by a powerful smash attack. The combination of power, speed, and the love of fighting could leave any of Hawlucha's targets on the ropes. Gengar
Gengar is one of the original Pokemon that would of the franchise if it was included in Smash Bros. It would also be the first Ghost-type and could use its spooky abilities to disappear for short periods of time and scare its opponents to death with a series of unpredictable and powerful moves. Beyond that, it has both a Mega Evolution and Gigantamax form that would be perfect for a haunting Final Smash. Gengar could float around above other fighters and possess them for short periods of time, or use its Lick attack to paralyze them in their tracks. It could be difficult to implement a Ghost-type Pokemon into Smash but Gengar would be an excellent addition to the roster and an incredibly fun fighter to play as.
