Decidueye WILL get into Smash Switch, and here's why:
Decidueye is among the most popular Alola Pokémon, partially aided by being a starter Pokémon, and Alola's most popular starter to boot. Looking at a picture of it alone gives an image of how it would fight, being an archer owl, and fits with Sakurai's views on how a character should come to life. Its signature move offers a gimmick not yet seen in Smash, being a slower character who can trap foes in place from a distance to allow itself to close the gap. Its two typings can allow it to set itself apart from the other Pokémon in Smash thematically. into this that Sun and Moon were a celebration of Pokémon's 20th anniversary, and an Alola Pokémon seemingly has great odds, especially one with Decidueye's résumé. Its inclusion in Pokken Tournament DX also solidifies its popularity, and adding it would complete the starter type trifecta.
