In your opinion, which is the best? Though it may seem that Legendaries are the obvious choices, some people may like, say, Fenniken for free PK/Arcfires or whatever.

Despite what I just said, it's Genesect. Lasers all day... I don't really have to do anything. That said, if I could get people off-stage more often when Arceus is around, it would be that.

I try not to think about it...

If the battle is on the line I will get Goldeen... A creature that needs to be patched out and replaced with Magikarp in order to be faithful to the game instead of the anime...

But now that I am thinking about it...

Keldo (I think his name is) is one I like. It isn't the on paper best but I have found opponents have trouble dodging both him and me, and he can set me up for some kills moves.

I would say Mew, because there's so much loot. But then in Sm4sh, one trophy. Really? They made Mew stingy in this game? Therefore I'd say Keldeo - he almost has a guaranteed kill against your opponent.

Arceus, only because he serves as God in the Pokemon universe. Whenever I'm playing as a Pokemon character and I happen to summon Arceus, I kneel down in front of him as if the Pokemon was praying.

:250: is amazing. Does he still appear in Smash 4? Can't recall. But the day we get :094: from a Pokéball will be the best day ever for me.

Picking up electrode and throwing it against your opponent :upsidedown:. Or when it came out of the elevator on Saffron City in Smash 64.
Thats the best thing; throwing that Hot Potato to OHKO someone, but also is funny when explodes in the hands of somebody.
So, not only is the destructive factor but also the hilarity factor :laugh:

Palkia is clearly the most user-friendly pokemon in the game...

My favourites are Latias and Latios. If the opponents have trouble dodging, a KO is almost guaranteed.

Metagross, without a doubt. It just has such a fearsome presence onstage and throwing your opponent into the death trap that is Metagross is so satisfying.
Honorable mentions go to Genesect, Giratina, Chespin, and Zoroark.

I wish Snorlax wasn't nerfed in size.

In terms of like, how good it is for killing, I'd say Zoroark since he kinda just warps to you and keeps trying it.

Darkrai is pretty useful. Sometimes when opponents are off the stage, the Dark Void makes them fall without them being able to do anything. Then again, I mostly play against CPUs...Maybe Keldeo. Kyurem's somewhat useful on omega stages.

Honestly... I like Gogoat. I know he isn't very effective but it's just so much fun riding it!

Darkrai, Entei and Zoroark. The former two because their moves are by far the most powerful (in my opinion, anyways.) and Zoroark because he's essentially using Greninja/Robin/Mii Brawler's FS.

I wish :157: was one, but he isn't, so out of the ones there Darkrai is indefinitely my favorite.

Everytime my friends and I play with items Kyogre is a beast. Netting at least 1-3 kills for every appearance.

I'm with you on this. I've seen Kyogre do some serious damage against opponents with poor recovery. I saw it take two stock off a poor Ike in one battle. Just kept pushing him away.

Best way to avoid Kyogre is to keep rolling towards him...at least from what little experience I have going against it.

Girantina, Suicune, and Kyogre are amazing because of their outstanding strength, but my favorite will always remain as Snorlax regardless of its effectiveness. :143:

I love Giratina bc I love Ghost types :094:

Also a fan of Gogoat, Snorlax, and Lugia. And Genesect is just cool.

Gogoat by a mile, it's just a joy to ride the thing like some sort of cavalry and make silly poses with it, too much fun.

Deoxys, Entei, or Kyorgre tend to help me out the most. They're super effective!

:146: and :250: are always the most effective for me. It's so awesome to throw someone into a :146: especially because of it's strenght. Touch it and you instantly die most of the time. :250: just does a **** ton of damage and that Sacred Fire just looks awesome. :249: is also one of my favorites.

In Melee, :155::183::113: are easily the least effective, cause they can be KO'd of the screen. Funny that :152: isn't able to be KO'd however despite it also being pretty weak. I kinda miss smacking them around sometimes. Saffron City in 64 also had you being able to Smash away :004: and :113:, but not :003:.

Pokémon I miss as Pokéball summons are: :003: :009: :120: / :121: :144: :145: :106: :233: :243:
