Slowbro
The evolved version of the slowpoke pokemon. Slowpoke becomes a slowbro after having the Cloyster bite it’s tail. Strategy: Being so slow, the key to victory with Slowbro is out-thinking the enemy.

Mr Mime
A psychic pokemon that uses the awesome power of miming. Mr Mime uses Barriers and other powers of his demented mind to defeat his enemies. Strategy: Mr Mime plays best as a defensive fighter. His moves work well to give him an edge by playing defense. Use Defensive Groove to add to the effect. Combos: Similar Fighters: Iron Man, Cable Stats: Power: 3 Energy*: 7 Defense: 5 Speed: 5 Strength: P Weakness: B Ratio: 2 Special Moves: Psy-Beam*: Mime fires a beam of psychic energy (P) Shining Light*: Raises his fist, and psychic sparks circle his hand.

Ash
The Pokemon trainer who wants to be the best trainer ever born. Ash's first pokemon is a Pikachu, the over-cute electricity machine. With this pokemon which doesn't like Ash much, he embarks on his journey to win the Pokemon tournament. All of Ash's attacks rely on using pokeballs and the pokemon inside of them. Strategy: Ash is basically helpless by himself, but with his pokemon attackers, he can put up a good fight. Ash is a purely defensive fighter. His moves all work well to counter an enemy attack. For example, Pidgeotto counters jumping enemies. Combos: Similar Fighters: Strider (Legion) Stats: Power: 5 Energy: 5 Defense: 3 Speed*: 6 Strength: S Weakness: P Ratio: 2 Size: S Special Moves: Charmander*: Opens a ball and a blast of flame comes out of the ball (F) Squirtle*: Opens a ball which shoots a high pressure water shot (W) Pidgeotto*: Opens a ball, and a small bird Pokemon dive-bombs the enemy (B) Bulbasaur Tentacle: Two vines shoot out of the ball (C) and the enemy is thrown, Omega Red style.

Think Legion Release Pikachu: Pikachu walks around by itself, attacking as it wants to. 12 seconds(S) Enter: Puts his pokemon cap on his head Taunt: Turns his cap backward Victory: The pose in the picture Top |
Sandslash
A spiny ground type pokemon. Sandslash evolves from a Sandshrew. Strategy: An average pokemon in terms of power. Sandslash basically works out to be an earth-based Blanka. He is fairly quick for a ground type, plus most of his moves have medium to long range. The only question is, why defense curl? If time is nearly up, use this to guarantee a win, because the enemy can barely hurt you during the curl. Combos: Similar Fighters: Blanka, Felicia Stats: Power: 5 Energy: 3 Defense*: 7 Speed: 4 Strength: E S Weakness: B W Ratio: 2 Size: S Special Moves: Sand Attack*: Blows a cloud of sand along the ground. 3 hits (E) Swift Attack*: Rolls into a ball and launches himself forward.

Cannot move, but gains defense of 40! Digger Attack: Level 3. Dives underground, the player selects the exit point, then dives up. Unblockable. Enter: Dirt comes flying up and Sandslash surfaces Taunt: Scratches behind his ear, like a dog Victory: Digs a grave for the victim and drags them in Top |
Gengar
A third generation ghost-type pokemon. Gengar's evolve from a Ghastly, then a Haunter. Being the only ghost-type in the first game gave this pokemon an advantage, but its dual type of poison made it nearly worthless. Strategy: Gengar is not a stand up fighter. Gengar's strengths are to disable the enemy with stunning or mean look to let other fighters finish the job. His hyper attacks are powerful, but this weird ghost has no fast moves. Fighting against a psychic enemy is plain suicide, since Gengar takes DOUBLE DAMAGE from psychic attacks. Combos: Similar Fighters: Rikuo Stats: Power: 2 Energy*: 7 Defense: 4 Speed: 5 Strength: (Normal Attacks) Weakness: Px2! Ratio: 2 Size: S Special Moves: Hypnosis*: Fires a series of rings. If hit, the enemy is left stunned. Medium Range Spite*: Spits out a small, black ball of energy. (D)(A,downward) Mean Look*: The screen flashes and the opponent cannot tag for 6 seconds. Nightmare: A short ranged version of Hypnosis. Lasts longer than Hypnosis Basic Throw: Gives the enemy a big lick, causing paralysis Bonus Abilities: Immune to Poison Launcher: Licks with his tongue moving in a rising fashion Hyper Attacks: Confuse Ray*: Fires a beam of black stars. These will fly directly at the enemy, no homing. 12 hits (D) Dream Eater: During Nightmare only. Throws a Spite (C) and steals a large portion of life. Heals Gengar (D) Nightshade: The area around Gengar becomes distorted, hurting foes in the area. 10 hits (D) Enter: Appears out of thin air with attempted scary faces Taunt: Makes weird faces at the opponent Victory: A Ghastly and Haunter appear and the threesome parties Top |
Alakazam
The ultimate form of the Abra chain of pokemon. These pokemon have horrible defense, but hardly need good d. Their psychic abilities so completely dominate, don't expect them to be hit often. Strategy: This is a one-trick character if their ever was one. Alakazam's power and defense are crap, a single dark elemental hyper will probably finish him. However, its energy rating is far above average, allowing for extremely powerful projectiles. Using his powerful psychic abilities is the only way to win with this pokemon. Use Future Sight with caution. Even though it will do massive damage, if you miss the counter, it will severely hurt you. Also, Disable disables hypers, but the enemy does not react in any way, and the move leaves Alazakam open to a counter attack. Combos: Similar Fighters: Iron Man, Iceman Stats: Power: 1 Energy*: 12 Defense: 2 Speed: 5 Strength: P Weakness: D Ratio: 2 Size: M Special Moves: Kinesis*: Fires a beam of pure mental energy. Forward or up-forward. 6 hits (P) Confusion*: A bubble of energy pulsates around Alakazam. 5 hits. Blocks projectiles (P) Recovery*: Heals a large amount of life for himself or an ally Reflection: Holds up a field of energy which reflects projectiles Basic Throw: Picks up the enemy with his mind for a slam into the ground (P,E) Bonus Abilities: Teleport Launcher: Taps his spoons together and a blast of psychic energy rises in front of him (P) Hyper Attacks: Psychic*: Fires an extremely large beam attack. Covers nearly the entire screen! 37 hits (P) Future Sight: Starts glowing. Do the move again during a hit to reflect triple the damage back to the attacker. (P) Disable: Screen flashes, if the enemy was not blocking, they cannot do hyper attacks for 10 seconds. Enter: Rubs his spoons together for luck. Taunt: Starts to groom itself with mentally controls items Victory: Sits down, and Sabrina, the master trainer, places her hand on its shoulder Top |
Wobbuffet
A new pokemon from the gold/silver game. This blue pillar of lard is good for only one thing, countering. This bouncing blue thing can counter nearly any attack. Also, it is afraid and ashamed of its own tail, which is almost like a separate monster. Strategy: This fighter is only for people who love to counter. Wobbuffet is too slow to attack directly, plus its power is non-existent. Its normal moves are a joke. Using his counters is the only way to be effective with Wob. If you successfully counter, Wob only takes half damage (and he doesn't take much with his high defense anyways) and returns the damage in full to its attacker. Wob takes a true countering master to be effective. Combos: None Similar Fighters: None Stats: Power: 1 Energy: 5 Defense*: 8 Speed: 2 Ratio: 1 Size: M Special Moves: Counter*: Will counter a normal attack with a bounce back of his flub. Mirror Coat*: Used to counter special attacks with a blast of unblockable energy. Safety Guard*: Used on itself or an ally to give immunity to status effects. During any countered move, Wobbuffet still takes half damage, but returns the damage Basic Throw: His black tail bites the enemy Launcher: The black tail rises up from the back of Wobbuffet Hyper Attacks: Wiggly Wobble*: Simply bounces back and forth. This is his only direct attack. 8 hits Destiny Bond: Glows red. If killed in this time, Wobbuffet's killer dies as well! Lasts 6 seconds. Hyper Mirror: A mirror coat that counters hypers. Wob still takes the full hyper before countering. Enter: A pokeball opens and Wobbuffet climbs out Taunt: His tail makes faces at Wob, causing it to freak out Victory: Starts hopping up and down in a retarted way and lands on his head, sighs. Top |
Hitmonlee
Also known as the "Kicking Devil". Hitmonlee is a pokemon who excels at the art of kicking. Nearly all of his attacks use his legs, even his punch button attacks. While his moves aren't very special, they get the job done. Strategy: The Kicking Fiend has many good combos. Since two of his moves also act as launcher attacks, he can perform air combos directly after them. The only problem is that Hitmonlee's moves are fairly predictable. Combos: Similar Fighters: Yang, Joe Higashi, Dee Jay Stats: Power*: 6 Energy: 3 Defense: 4 Speed: 6 Ratio: 2 Size: M Special Moves: Double Kick*: Hops forward with a 2 kick combo Rolling Kick*: Rolls forward for a rising kick that works as a launcher. Jumping Kick*: Jumps forward with a downward kick. Can be blocked in any position (A) High Jump: Jumps off the top of the screen and lands on top of the enemy. Block High Basic Throw: Grabs the enemy for a 5 kick combo Launcher: A rising kick Hyper Attacks: Mega Kick Combo*: Hops forward while kicking frantically. 10 hits Reverse Endure: Runs forward (C) for a 9 hit combo ending with a launcher. Focus Energy: Raises power and energy by +3 for 10 seconds. Enter: Hops down from the corner and does a few kicks Taunt: raises his foot in the air and wiggles it Victory: Throws his arms up in victory and starts randomly kicking. Top |
Hitmonchan
A boxing pokemon. Both Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan evolve from the same child-form, but Hitmonlee uses kicks, while Hitmonchan uses punches. Also, Chan learns various elemental type attacks. Strategy: A slow, but powerful boxer type. Like most boxer characters, Hitmonchan's moves are mostly charge motions. This causes him to be slower than his speed indicates, at least as far as special moves go. Combos: Similar Fighters: Balrog, Dudley Stats: Power: 4 Energy*: 7 Defense: 6 Speed: 4 Strength: E Weakness: B Ratio: 2 Size: M Special Moves: Comet Punch*: Punches forward while throwing a medium range projectile. 2 hits (E) Thunder Punch*: Punches out with his fist covered in lightning. 3 hits (S)(A) Fire Punch*: Steps forward with a rising punch of fire. 2 hits (F) Ice Punch: Hops forward with a downward punch. A chance it stuns on impact (W)(A) Basic Throw: Grabs for 6 headbutts Launcher: A basic standing uppercut Hyper Attacks: Mach Punching*: Steps forward while delivering a series of deadly punches. 10 hits Mega Punch: Powers up for a single, insanely powerful punch Pursuit: Dashes forward (C) with a combo of 8 powerful punches. Enter: Hops onscreen with the typical boxing practice punching Taunt: Displays his championship belt Victory: A bell rings and Chan puts on his belt and looks smug Top |
Sneasel
One of the new Dark-type Pokemon of Gold and Silver. Strategy: For as quick as this Pokemon is, it excels at hit and run, not long, continuous combos. It is a dedicated melee fighter. Combos: Similar Fighters: Wolverine Stats: Power: 4 Energy: 4 Defense: 4 Speed*: 8 Strength: D Weakness: H Ratio: 2 Size: S Special Moves: Scratch Attack*: A line of cutting slices in front of Sneasel at several different angles (D) Quick Attack*: Dashes forward with a downward slash. Block high Fury Swipes*: Steps forward swinging his claws frantically. 4 hits Leer: Makes a face at the enemy and if the enemy is not blocking, loses 3 points of defense for the next hit.

Pichu
A Pichu is simply a weak, baby Pikachu. Pichu's are much smaller than even the Pikachu's and can also use lightning, but it hurts itself to due so! Based on the Smash Brother fighter. Strategy: Despite being a ratio 1, Pichu has stats as good as some ratio 2s. However, during any of its electrical attacks, it harms itself. Since Pichu's energy rating is its highest, you won't do much damage to the enemy if you don't use his special moves, but in doing so you cause damage to yourself. Feel free to use the moves, just make sure they hit. Also, don't use excess hypers, or you'll quickly drain Pichu's health. Combos: Similar Fighters: Pikachu Stats: Power: 2 Energy*: 7 Defense: 4 Speed: 5 Strength: S Weakness: E Ratio: 1 Size: T Special Moves: Quick Attack*: Does a twirling headbutt forward. Charge for distance Thundershock*: Sends a bouncing bolt of lightning along the ground. 4% damage to self.(S) Thunderbolt*: Calls a bolt of lightning from the sky and it strikes Pichu. 2 hits, 8% damage to self(S) Thunderzap: Lowers its head and a ball of lightning flashes in front of it. 3 hits, 12% damage to self. All of Pichu's attacks, except Quick Attack, cause damage to Pichu! Not too severe. Basic Throw: Jumps into the enemy's arms and electricutes himself and his victim (S) Launcher: Hops up to connect with his head Hyper Attacks: Pichu Shocker*: Fires bolts of lightning in all directions. 18 hits. Causes 18% damage to himself (S) Pichu Bolt: A large bolt of electricity strikes from above. 8 hits. Causes 16% damage to himself. (S) Enter: A pokeball lands and Pichu appears in a flash of light Taunt: Falls to the ground and shakes like its having a seizure (real taunt) Victory: A tree grows on the spot, Pichu climbs it and falls asleep.
