#650 in the National Pokédex, Chespin is the Spiny Nut Pokémon, due to the thick shell that covers its head and back. Though its quills are usually soft, they will harden into sharp points when flexed, able to pierce through rock easily. It is one of the starter Pokémon in the Kalos region, being the Grass-type of the trio. Fighters in Smash may call Chespin from Poké Balls, using Seed Bomb to explode nearby foes.
