some things to note: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ charizard can do back-throw to back air between 30 and 40% depending on characters and rage and can kill (if they don't di out, and if they do, they're offstage and can be killed with f-air or gimped) If charizard can land the first hit of a rar n-air with the sweet spot, (easier if the opponent is on a ps platform) can lead to f-air or b-air. his n-air can also make people slip from platforms (I don't know if it's still techable but it's still good) Charizard's flare blitz is really good for tech situations and can easily cover all of the options if the timing is right and that you read the tech or non-tech. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Squirtle can wait on walls to f-air offstage for edge-guarding people that are stalling in the air, taking to long or just to f-air a bad recovery. Squirtle can link f-airs offstage to up-b, the up-b is not true, ut if the opponent's di isn't perfect, it catches jump and airdodge, but not a fast aerial to fast fall sometimes, and it can't kill unless you commit to the up-b and if the opponent is bellow 40% before the last hit of up-b, it won't kill ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ivysaur's n-air can't lead to anything if the last hit doesn't connect: also the opponent has either frame advantage or is equal, so just try down tilt to be faster or shield if they're mashing. Ivysaur can spam b-air, if spaced, people can't challenge it out of shield unless they have a move similar to cloud's b-air in terms of speed and range depending on the way they're facing. If Ivysaur is on a platform, d-throw to n-air away from and then towards your opponent to up-air is true at low percent, and at decently high percent, you can up-b, but ... you should know Ivysaur's up-b sweet spot size plus the distance ivy travels before using the move, it helps a lot. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ also, if b-air is stale for ivysaur, it's stale for every pokemons (they share the same stale move list) I hope I helped someone with these tips, just notable stuff that weren't in the video, but this is one of the best pkmn trainer guides I've seen yet on this platform and seeing this episode made me want to see more guides form ya they are awesome! :D

I love how one of the tips and tricks is literally just Ivy's up and down air

your forgot the ivysaur quick switch to charizard immediate flare blitz kill confirm

Basic Character Flowchart: 0:51 Pokemon Change: 2:00 Ivysaur Up Air/Dair: 3:22 Squirtle Combos: 4:32 Ivysaur Combos: 5:45 Charizard Combos: 6:20 Squirtle Kill Confirms: 6:50 Ivysaur Kill Confirms: 7:20 Charizard Kill Confirms: 7:54 Summary: 8:17

As a PT main, this video has exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

My personal favorite combo (as a Poké Trainer main) is.. *spam charizard side b* lol

Hey dude, I'm Contrary (the guy that made the Trainer Field Guide). I'm really happy that my document helped you out, but I would've appreciated it if you had mentioned me specifically since you used my exact phrasing...

4:08 Fix Ivy's recovery, Nintendo

I’ve always loved to play Pokémon Trainer since Brawl. Him and Snake were always my favorite to play as a kid

For any new viewers please keep in mind this made very early on in the meta before hero was even announced, this was the time before they nerfed ivysaur and buffed Squirtle and zard. Ivy dair is not as strong as it used to be but its still an amazing gimping tool. Tether canceling is an important technique when learing PT as it allows for some insane recovery mixups. Zards back throw to RAR back air is a true combo from 0% to 40% this is my personal go-to combo. Flamethrower negates most weak projectiles and using it max spaced is amazing at ledge trapping as it covers many options at once Squirtles Water gun has a lot of usages, it can be used off of stage, cuck over recoveries, force an approach in neutral and help Squirtle's disadvantage. Withdraw is a powerful mixup doing great knockback and having super armour for entire duration Squirtle is in his shell. If they chose to shield the move I prefer to switch or use up b as normally the opponent will be mashing a safe out of shield option to counter the side b however waterfall has a lot of priority and will catch them off guard and will condition the opponent to shield and wait after the side b... which you can punish with a grab! All in all this guide has some decent tips for the character if your starting off with the character, but keep in mind it was made early into the meta when Ivy far outshined the two other mons so they weren't explored or developed compared to ivy, who was all the buzz. When your done with this video i recommend watching Pokemon trainer bread and butters that actually work Frenzy lights ten pokemon trainer tips There is a lot i could cover on PT, maybe i should make my own guide lol EDIt this video is very shit

Charizard up throw into fair at 0 connects almost every single time very consistently. I’d like to add that Charizard can also at low %s get neutral air into grab into down throw up air or down throw fair maybe even a back throw bair. It isn’t much but just something to keep in mind if you’re at 150 percents and are too scared to switch into Squirtle.

This is a beautiful tips and tricks video my friend thank you.

Leffen gave up on Pokémon trainer too quickly. He just wants a character that has obvious advantages like Fox does in Melee.

With these character and your tips tricks and every thing between they will be awesome to play as .😎👍

the reason why down b takes some time is that Pokémon trainer puts the Pokémon in her bag and when you do a special it cancels that animation with a faster one

brilliant content EnergyPantsSmash. I killed the thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the good work.

Yoo nice video this really help me

Great video!

hahaha i memorized the trainer field guide like a couple weeks ago so i recognized that opening immediately

I really wish they would've used the final evolution of each Pokemon. Blastoise and Venusaur would be awesome. Also, anyone else ever see the picture of the Hoenn Pokemon Trainer with Blaziken, Grovyle, and Mudkip?

at kill percents just side b with charizard it works every time in elite smash , also fair is really good kill confirm with charizard

I really wanted ultimate to introduce an echo fighter for Pokémon trainer, do you know how sick it would be to have the gen 2 mons fight, maybe switch up the evolution order though and have something else be the third form

I accidentally found out that Charizard can do a down throw to multiple *forward ariels* (yes I’m a Mario main) which can do some pretty decent damage if you are forced into the flame Pokémon early on

i love how he said when you learn ivysuars kill confirms you will become good when uts just 2 moves

r.i.p one of the best sm4sh channels

A great tip from me is to use Squirtle first for easy starting damage. Ivysaur is used when opponent is above or below and if you are at high percent because Ivy is heavier than Squirt. Charizard should be used for kills not combos as u will stake his moves

charizard can shorthop forward air from forward throw. I like landing up air up tilt forward air short hop forward air

Spam side b as charazard when ur at 110 plus since most likely you will die in one hit anyway ( or hit to edge and edge guarded ) sometimes you can even take a stock

Is there some merit to using PT as a sort of swiss army that has a decent counter to each character? Like... maybe many matchups are just like "ok, so against DK all you do is be Squirtle and keep comboing"

I have a problem, your Trainer Field Guide, shows what the moves can do, but it doesn't tell me HOW to DO the moves. If it is there, could you please tell me where to find it?

Mann Pokémon trainer is really strong

Just picked up Trainer 😏

Every pokemon trainer I meet literally only plays ivysaur. It's dissapointing because the other two have good potential

He didn't talk about how Charizard can totally do a zero to death by being on the edge of wich ever side of the stage you want, Back throw, them flair blitz to finish it off. In only two moves you can take a stock at high and low persents. Note: This still does take time and rough positioning to pull off

So is this still valid with the ivy nerfs?

5:27-5:37 0-0 That was awesome

Ivysaur tether cancel on ledge to charizard flareblitz

Do you have an updated link to the discord? It does not work.

I just wanna have the pokemon at normal colors while using the ash alt

What is a jump cancel and what are the inputs

Charizard has a lot more kill confirms than you said such as: Up-throw (strongest in the game) F-smash (really slow so don't use this too often) Flare blitz (obviously) Charizard d-throw can combo in to b-air or fair Charizards u-smash actually kills later than squirtles up smash

I’d like to see ganon or marcina!

I didn't know Woody Harrelson knew so much about Pokemon Trainer..

Cool video, do you want to do some 1v1s

I just learn how to use Ivysaur and Charizard, but not Squirtle, its really difficult with Squirtle. I think its better if this 3 pokemon were individual like Greninja and Mewtwo :/

Zard d throw to fair

Please do Marth!!

You sound like introspective

Charizard down grab then nair Might not work for u but i love dis combo

My ivysaur is a boy

Ever since Andrew Yang ran for president I’m noticing more people using the word “dividend.”

Wii fit trainer plz

Olimar

PTSD

Charizard side-B. I mean. C'mon. Not even a mention? It's all you need, after all.

A charizard combo I made that kills Throw the opponent either back or forward and the flare blitz Though it can be risky as you can flare blitz into the edge, it is useful

How do i switch the pokemon

kirby

Y'know each pokemon do not cover each other matchups instead Ivysaur actually wins most of the matchups that Charizard and Squirtle wins against and most of the time Ivysaur does it better with very few exceptions and there's almost no point into using Charizard when playing in an optimal level

FAST SWITCHING IS CALLED SWEDE SWAPPING. SAY IT RIGHT.

please do Link next!

pokemon trips for ivysaur don't bother recovering its not going to wrk

One more tip, use the female trainer...you know why

this guide is awful lol

new discord link plz
