Basic Strategies
Stage
What better place for Pokémons to fight than in a Pokémon Stadium. The stadium received a renovation with Super Smash Bros. Brawl (hence the name "Pokémon Stadium 2"). The stage will start in a simple flat surface with two small platforms. From time to time, the stage will transform into a battlefield based on one of the four following elements: Ground, Ice, Flying and Electric. None of the battlefields are particularly dangerous, provided you keep your self in the middle of the stage.

Items
Pokéballs and Assist Trophies will spawn constantly in the Go! Triple Finish! Event. Get to them before your opponents as they can usually lead life or death. Fortunately, Pikachu is the quickest and most agile Pokémon of the four.

Enemies
Your opponents are diverse: Charizard is powerful, Squirtle is quick and Ivysaur is somewhere in between. You should probably take Charizard out first, considering that his powerful attacks can knock you out even if you are particularly healthy. The battle will ease up afterwards since the only real threat left is Squirtle.
