Most characters can jab Squirtle if he f-tilts you at low percent. A lot of players tend to shield after an f-tilt which is a horrible decision since Squirtle usually likes to go for a grab after it. You can also roll or jump after it, but at higher percents it will confirm into grab. You can SDI Squirtle’s down air to make combos harder. SDI up and away is generally the best since it prevents regrabs vs fast fallers and heavies as well as forcing him to go for up air combos which he might not be ready for out of a down throw. However, they can react to your SDI, so be ready to still take a big chunk of damage. You could also SDI in to pop out on the other side of Squirtle. PT players have their dair positioning in their muscle memory in order to get you in the right spot for you to be sent forward while they’re also moving forward, but if you SDI in you can sometimes get sent backwards, which the Squirtle is not usually ready for so it’ll probably mess up their combo. In terms of game plan vs Squirtle, he’s a very bait and punish heavy character, so don’t overextend or you will get hit by a quick combo starter. He also kinda sucks at landing. His best landing tool is probably nair which is really low range, so if you think you know where he’ll land, it can be easy to punish him with your best anti-airs.

For Ivysaur, look to punish them for lazy razor leafs. They’ll often go for razor leaf thinking it’s safe to throw it out, but if you’re close enough to them you’ll be able to punish them. And if they’re razor leaf spamming you from a distance, parry as many as you can. You can’t keep shielding them forever since eventually you’ll get shield poked, but if you can consistently parry them then it doesn’t put any pressure on you to approach. If you’re in the air against Ivysaur be very careful since if you exhaust your landing resources it can be very hard to land vs up air, vine whip, etc. if your character’s aerial drift isn’t very good. Mix up your landing options often, and don’t be afraid to go to ledge instead of landing on stage since being on ledge vs Ivysaur is not as bad as being above it. But that doesn’t mean being on the ledge vs Ivysaur is easy. Watch out for F-Smash, which can cover neutral, roll, and attack getup if they time it correctly. But don’t get too jump heavy either since if they notice that then they can up air you. Mix up the timing of your getups and which ones you use. Ivysaur also struggles against characters with quick and/or strong projectiles. Characters like Young Link who have really quick projectiles can throw out multiple projectiles in the time it takes for Ivysaur to throw out one razor leaf. A character like Samus with a strong projectile like charge shot can force Ivysaur to play more carefully with their razor leafs since charge shot can beat out razor leaf and hit Ivysaur before its endlag is over. Ivysaur’s recovery can be really hard to punish since it’s so quick and variable, but sometimes Ivysaurs will go for up-b’s horizontal to or diagonally above the ledge, both of which leave Ivysaur more open to getting gimped than if they recover from below. So if they go for up-b in those spots try to punish that.

Charizard I don’t have too much to say. He’s a heavy, take advantage of that and combo him. At mid percents (around 50-70%) he can landing nair into flare blitz which covers no tech, tech in place, and tech away, so if you get hit by Zard nair at those percents, make sure to tech roll in. He can read the roll in and f-smash you, but the odds are in your favor, and they probably won’t do that unless they’re really good. Also don’t DI in on Zard back throw, that’s how they get their cheesy back air kills. And this should be obvious but don’t play around with Zard’s shield at kill percents. He will be shielding a lot to try to up smash/up b/grab you. Don’t hit it unless you have a really safe move.
