Poké Ball

The Poké Ball is an item in Super Smash Flash 2 coming from the Pokémon franchise. It was left out of the original Super Smash Flash. Poké Balls allow the player to call forth a randomly chosen Pokémon. The Pokémon will usually have a direct influence on the battle by attacking opponents, but some only cause status effects, act as reflectors, or do nothing to change the battle.

However, unlike Assist Trophies, the Pokémon is not automatically summoned when the player picks it up. In order for the Pokémon to appear, the player must throw the Poké Ball. This also means that they can be thrown at opponents. The Poké Ball must land in order to release the Pokémon inside it.

Trivia

 * Gligar ported its shiny coloration when it was first implemented into the game, as it originally appeared more blue than pink when released. This has been reversed to its actual coloration and its shiny coloration has been removed.
 * Togepi can be found within the game's files, this could be, however, leftovers of its cameo in the intro for v0.9. Whether it will appear in the game itself is unconfirmed.
 * Due to complications with some bugs, the Poké Balls, Assist Trophies, Bumpers, and Explosive Tags were disabled on demo v0.9b and were added back in patch 0.9.1.1965.
 * Out of all the Pokémon that can be released from a Poké Ball, only Charizard and Pichu are playable characters in the official Super Smash Bros. games.
