Getting Celebi in SSB Melee

For the record, yes I can google. Search results all say I need the following before I can see Celebi:

  • All characters
  • All stages
  • All 51 event matches
  • Beating Giga Bowser
  • Beating Crazy Hand
  • Sound Test
  • Score Display
  • Random stage select

(Some of these are redundant, and sometimes Giga Bowser and Crazy Hand are omitted in sources.)

I have done all of the above, checking the character screen for characters and the stage select screen for stages, as well as checking the message log to see that I've unlocked all characters and stages. I beat Giga Bowser after completing Adventure Mode on Normal in a speedy enough fashion, and beat Crazy Hand after completing Classic Mode on Normal also quick enough. The former gave me the Giga Bowser trophy but the latter didn't give me anything (so I don't have a Crazy Hand trophy, but sources say to get Celebi one must unlock "everything except trophies"). I did all of the event matches, got the sound test, score display, and random stage select.

In an attempt to see Celebi, I've had four computers playing Final Destination with the only item being the PokeBall set to Very High frequency. After observing and keeping track a bit, I estimate very conservatively that I've seen well over 800 PokeBalls opened and still no Celebi. Mathematically, as the chances of seeing Celebi in each PokeBall in a normal Vs. match are 1/251, the chances of not seeing Celebi in 800 PokeBalls is just over 4%. Either I've been pretty unlucky so far or I'm missing something - which is it?

P.S. I've never used action replay or any hacking tool, and I'm pretty sure I've never deleted my data (although it has been over 10 years since I've last played, according to the message log, lol).

P.P.S. Bonuses count in Vs matches right? So if I see Celebi in a Vs. match (even with all computers playing), it will count towards the Diskun trophy. If I do an unlimited time match and at some later point pause and reset, getting a No Contest screen, will all of the bonuses still count, and would seeing Celebi for the first time still count if it was done in that time period?



Best Answer

First of all, it must be unlocked; it won't appear out of a Poké Ball until all playable characters and stages have been unlocked, the Sound Test has been unlocked, all Event Matches have been completed, and Score Display has been unlocked. Once that's done, the chance of Celebi appearing is 1/251

Answer 2

Celebi is extremely hard and rare to see. You must fulfill requirements before you even have a chance to see it. The requirements are the following: Unlock all characters. This can be done through a minimum of 1000 vs matches. Unlock all stages. Yes, you must play 200 vs matches, get a Birdo or Pidgit trophy, clear classic mode with Mr. Game & Watch, clear All-Star mode, clear all events, clear all Target tests, get a distance of over 1300 in Home-run contest with Yoshi, and survive 15 minute melee. Unlock special things. You must unlock all characters and stages and get a total of 5000 KOs. Defeat the secret final bosses. You have to beat Crazy Hand and Giga Bowser in classic and adventure mode respectivley at least once.

After all that you have a 1/251 chance of it appearing in a poke ball. That's the same chance as Mew!
