Pochita — Encounters Smash Battles Champion Guide

Pochita champion guide for Encounters Smash Battles. Teleport invincibility, 5500 Gem cost, and 1v1 kill confirms.

Pochita is the premium S-tier specialist for 1v1 duels in Encounters Smash Battles. Teleportation-based movement and invincibility frames on Ultimate make him a rising meta pick after community discovery in July 2026. Costs 5500 Gems — save after your first 3000 Gem purchase.

Abilities Overview

Basic: Quick chainsaw slashes at close range.

Special: Saw blade projectiles from arm chainsaw.

Unique: Bomb detonation with speed boost while active.

Ultimate: Backflip kick into chainsaw form with invincibility frames.

1v1 Strategy

Pochita's Ultimate invincibility frames let you reverse losing exchanges at high damage percentages. Bait opponents into overcommitting near the edge, then Ultimate through their attack for a kill confirm. Weak in 2v2 and FFA where multi-direction pressure breaks teleport reads.

Practice in 1v1 mode before spending 5500 Gems. Test free in Training Mode first.

Unlock & Cost

Pochita costs 5500 Gems — the most expensive standard Store purchase among S-tier fighters. Budget: codes + match wins + Hamza first, then Pochita as a 1v1 specialist.
