==Localization history==
==Localization history==
The Japanese spell ''Merazoma'' had previously been localized as [[Kafrizzle]] in {{VIII}} and the [[Zenithia trilogy]] for the [[Nintendo DS]]. When the spell ''Meragaia'' was introduced in {{IX}}, it was localized as [[Kafrizzle]] and ''Merazoma'' was changed to Kafrizz in titles that feature four tiers of [[Frizz]] spells. Certain exceptions do apply to this rule, such as in the case of the playable {{Hero Smash}}es of {{SSB5}}.
The Japanese spell ''Merazōma'' had previously been localized as [[Kafrizzle]], as it had no higher-tier [[Frizz]] variant. However, with {{DQMJ}} and {{DQ9}}, they added a higher-tier being メラガイアー ''Meragaiā''. To work around this, they renamed this spell Kafrizz, and let the Kafrizzle naming for the newer one.
