This is Deoxys, the Psychic-type DNA Pokémon that originated from a space virus that mutated when exposed to a laser beam.
You all probably know Deoxys since he starred the 7th Pokémon movie, Destiny Deoxys, which showed us Ash Ketchum & friends as they traveled to the hi-tech LaRousse City, where they met a lonely and confused Deoxys as he tried to reunite with its partner while being chased by the legendary Rayquaza.
Deoxys is an event Pokémon, which means it's unobtainable in the main RPG portable games unless you get a special item in Nintendo events or via an alternate way. This makes Deoxys as special and rare as Mew, Celebi, and others, added to the fact that its stats are high, and under certain conditions, can be the best around.
When Deoxys appears from the skies, it summons auroras and causes blackouts in order to see electromagnetical patterns of the objects it's looking for. Hence why the item used to get to Deoxys is named the Aurora Ticket.
In spin-off games, Deoxys is seen as a boss for the same rarity and power reason. This includes Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Ranger.
What makes Deoxys so special is its unique ability to use one of four forms, which make its appearance, stats, and learnable moves vary: these are

If Pokémon moves can be translated into SSB moves, then chances are that the switching between forms, stats, and move sets can be done, too. This doesn't mean it would be this way, though. The Deoxys forms could also be represented as transformations that don't affect its stats or its move set but its specific running (Speed Form), A-move (Attack Form), block (Defense Form) movements instead (just to give random examples); this is an approach seen in the animé. Nonetheless, I believe the ideal way would be to give the players the chance to switch between forms at their will as an extension of the transform move concept we first saw in SSBM; this is an approach seen in Pokémon Ranger.
This is a bulk submission with Deoxys and its moves.
----------
Name: Deoxys
From: Pokémon Ruby Version and Pokémon Sapphire Version (Game Boy Advance, 2003)
Normal Form Stats:
Speed: 3/5
Power: 4/5
Jump: 3/5
Fall: 3/5
Size: 4/5
Weight: 2/5
Traction: 3/5
Normal Form Moves:
B: Night Shade. Deoxys shoots shadowy beams at a low range, damaging nearby foes. During online gameplay, the targets' screen may get dark for brief instants while this move is performed.
vB: Cosmic Power. This is a wider version of Zelda's Nayru's Love, which looks like a shiny sphere that surrounds Deoxys.
>B: Zen Headbutt. A chargeable, brain-powered headbutt that breaks shields easily.
^B: Teleport. Works exactly like Mewtwo's in SSBM.
Attack Form Stats:
Speed: 3/5
Power: 5/5
Jump: 3/5
Fall: 3/5
Size: 4/5
Weight: 1/5
Traction: 3/5
Attack Form Moves:
B: Zap Cannon. An inaccurate lightning bolt that can strike multiple foes in front of Deoxys.
vB: Psychic. Grabs foes without contact at both sides, and whips them against the ground.
>B: Superpower. A powerful and predictable (yet fast) tackle which ends in a punch that bumps the target far away (like Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch).
^B: Teleport. A version of the standard Teleport move that gives a little damage to the foes next to the spot where Deoxys reappears.
Defense Form Stats:
Speed: 2/5
Power: 2/5
Jump: 3/5
Fall: 3/5
Size: 4/5
Weight: 5/5
Traction: 3/5
Defense Form Moves:
B: Shadow Ball. Less predictable and less powerful than Mewtwo's Shadow Ball from SSBM.
vB: Mirror Coat. Works like Marth's or Roy's Counter move from SSBM.
>B: Knock Off. A tackle that slaps the target and makes him/her/it lose any item he/she/it is grabbing.
^B: Teleport. A version of the standard Teleport move that doesn't leave Deoxys open to hits when falling from the spot it appears from.
Speed Form Stats:
Speed: 5/5
Power: 3/5
Jump: 3/5
Fall: 3/5
Size: 4/5
Weight: 3/5
Traction: 1/5
Speed Form Moves:
B: Swift. Deoxys shoots many tiny stars that can be rapid-fired.
vB: Double Team. Two Deoxys copies surround the actual Deoxys, who is invulnerable to projectiles for a brief instant (while able to perform other moves).
>B: Pursuit. Deoxys makes a quick tackle towards itself. If the target was running away, then the tackle will result in Deoxys grabbing the target as if the player had pressed the grab button (Compare to Bowser's Koopa Klaw move).
^B: Extremespeed. A three-step version of Pikachu's Quick Attack from older SSB games.
Final Smash: Psycho Boost. Deoxys flashes, and a yellow light appears from its brain (which is located in its chest) and suddenly grows larger. It deals a heavy damage to the foes it makes contact with, and also leaves Deoxys with a damage of 20% (a damage of 20 HP in Endurance Mode). This works like a larger version of Ness's PK Flash from SSBM.
Easter Eggs:
Entrance: Deoxys appears from a Master Ball / Deoxys teleports surrounded in an aurora.
Taunt: While keeping its current form, Deoxys looks at the camera with menacing eyes.
If you press...
Grab: Wrap. Deoxys grabs a foe with its tentacles and damages or whips them against the floor.
Kirby's Hat: Kirby's head takes the shape of Deoxys's in the form it had when swallowed. Kirby also learns that form's B move and his arms will become tentacles if needed.
Unlocking Message:
The visitor from outer space, Deoxys, is ready to Brawl!
Deoxys's cries are robotic/alienesque, as seen in the animé. Its arms and legs can take different shapes depending on the movements performed.
Xatu's forecast:
Medium chances of appearing in SSBB
----------
Outside the Pokémon game world, Deoxys has been used for educative purposes under the license of Nintendo, as seen here.
Not only do I see Deoxys as a likely playable Pokémon character for SSBB, but he's also one of the Nintendo characters I want there because of his form versatility.
Deoxys's fad is getting old, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it to SSBB as a playable character. But it would be cool to have him there. I read Japanese like it even more than Mewtwo and Lucario, BTW (I have no source for this, though). Deoxys is a must-have in any SBL-like fan site.
If you guys ask me, there's going to be a clash of legendaries in the Poké-resources section of Sakurai's team
. Deoxys has attributes both Mewtwo and Darkrai have, too.

If you press...
- ... A, then Deoxys will transform into its Normal Form
- ... B, then Deoxys will transform into its Attack Form

- ... Forward direction, then Deoxys will transform into its Speed Form
- ... nothing before 2 seconds, then Deoxys will remain as its current form
