Each Pokémon has a different effect, such as attacking the summoner's opponents, changing the properties of the stage, and inducing status effects. The Pokémon available change between games, with every new release adding several Pokémon which tend to come from the most recent generations. Not every Pokémon returns in subsequent games, with some being replaced in function by newer Pokémon and some others disappearing completely.
