Poké Ball
Poké Balls are important items originating from the Pokémon series; their purpose is to store and mobilize Pokémon within the ball when they're not in battle. They have appeared in all four installments of the Super Smash Bros. series as items, and serve as the Pokémon series emblem. When thrown, the Poké Ball will release a random Pokémon out of the ball, say its cry, and attack. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Pokémon Trainer uses a Poké Ball to change between his three different Pokémon: Charizard, Squirtle and Ivysaur.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the Master Ball variant of Poké Ball appears as an item. They specifically release only rare and Legendary Pokémon, while the regular Poké Ball can release any Pokémon.
For a complete listing of Pokémon coming out of Poké Balls, see the Pokémon article.

These balls are used to capture and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be captured, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. Master Balls are the strongest type. |

Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these! EU: A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it! |
