NOSEPASS/SABLEYE/MAWILE/ROSELIA/TORKOAL/SPINDA/CASTFORM/KECLEON/TROPIUS/CHIMECHO/ABSOL/RELICANTH/LUVDISC

And now, let’s go back through Gen 3 and cover all the standalones in one single batch. First, we have Nosepass, based on the Moai from Easter Island, but also on a compass with its nose always pointing north.

Standard B: Rock Throw

Side B: Spark

Up B: Rock Slide

Down B: Harden

Final Smash: True North Magnetic Pull

Next is Sableye, based on a little goblin or gremlin that likes to steal and horde gemstones, to the point that its eyes are gemstones, sort of like heart-eyes in movies.

Standard B: Shadow Claw

Side B: Power Gem

Up B: Shadow Sneak

Down B: Night Shade

Final Smash: Mega Sableye 

Then, we have Mawile, based on the futakuchi-onna from Japanese folklore, basically a ghostly woman with a mouth on the back of her head. There’s also a bit of bear trap in there, hence the Steel-typing.

Standard B: Crunch

Side B: Iron Head

Up B: Fairy Wind

Down B: Iron Defense

Final Smash: Mega Mawile

Next is Roselia, based on a rose mixed with a beautiful young maiden, so about what you’d expect from a rose-based Pokemon.

Standard B: Magical Leaf

Side B: Toxic Spikes

Up B: Petal Dance

Down B: Mega Drain

Final Smash: Petal Blizzard

Next up, we have Torkoal, basically a tortoise, but made up of coal and fire. Not much to say here, outside of me just generally loving the derpy little guy.

Standard B: Lava Plume

Side B: Flame Wheel

Up B: Smokescreen

Down B: Iron Defense

Final Smash: Eruption

Then, we have Spinda, a little red panda that is perpetually spinning and dizzy. It also has a unique mechanic going on with its spots in that no two are ever alike.

Standard B: Hypnosis

Side B: Body Slam

Up B: Teeter Dance

Down B: Sucker Punch

Final Smash: Everybody Topsy-Turvy

Next is Castform, a little weather cloud/H2O molecule, that changes forms and typings based on the external weather, including a Fire Sunny Forme, a Water Rainy Forme, and an Ice Snowy Forme.

Standard B: Weather Ball/Ember/Water Gun/Powder Snow

Side B: Rain Dance

Up B: Rain Dance/Sunny Day/Hail

Down B: Change Forme

Final Smash: Hurricane

Then, we have Kecleon, a chameleon. And that’s really about it. It’s kinda the new Snorlax in that it blocks your path in certain areas.

Standard B: Lick

Side B: Fury Swipes

Up B: Shadow Sneak

Down B: Substitute

Final Smash: Invisible Swarm

Next is Tropius, a sauropod dinosaur mixed with a banana tree that is apparently Flying type because of its big banana leaf wings.

Standard B: Leaf Storm

Side B: Air Slash

Up B: Body Slam

Down B: Stomp

Final Smash: Solar Beam

Then, we have Chimecho, a little ceramic wind chime and/or a furin like the ones you hang wishes on during the Japanese summer festival.

Standard B: Heal Bell

Side B: Confusion

Up B: Yawn

Down B: Stored Power

Final Smash: Healing Wish

Next is Absol, a Pokemon that almost feels like a Legendary, a Hot Topic-looking cat creature that can sense when disasters are about to occur, but because it always appears to try and warn humans about it, humans came to view it as a bad omen and the cause of said disasters.

Standard B: Night Slash

Side B: Sucker Punch

Up B: Detect

Down B: Double Team

Final Smash: Mega Absol

Next, we have Relicanth, kind of an honorary fossil Pokemon, based on the coelacanth, a fish long thought extinct until it was discovered in the 1930s.

Standard B: Water Gun

Side B: Head Smash

Up B: Dive

Down B: Ancient Power

Final Smash: Dragged into the Depths

And finally, we have Luvdisc, a sunfish Pokemon shaped like a generic heart. And that’s pretty much it.

Standard B: Water Gun

Side B: Draining Kiss

Up B: Aqua Ring

Down B: Charm

Final Smash: Pokemon Contest Finale

And that’s pretty much it. Entrances would all be the Poke Balls. Taunts would all be based on their general concepts. Kirby Hats would include Nosepass’s nose, Sableye’s eyes, Mawile’s mouth, Roselia’s thorns, Torkoal’s shell, Spinda’s ears and spots, Castform’s cloudy wisps, Kecleon’s fin things, Tropius’s leaf helmet thing, Chimecho’s bell thing, Absol’s hair and scythe, Relicanth’s face, and Luvdisc’s . . . Um, maybe just a heart taped to a bandana? Karts would mostly be the Poke Ball car with their most iconic move, Spirit Battles would be in Gen III locations that most fit their vibes, Victory Screens would be tied to their vibes and Losing Screens would mostly be them fainted (wonder if it should be different for Spinda?), and their color swaps would mostly be their mains and shinies, with other general colors unless there is any notable alternate colors, like that one purple Kecleon.

Thanks for reading! Next up, why not let Azurill and Wynaut join?
