'''Agility''' ({{ja|こうそくいどう|Kōsokuidō}}, ''High-Speed Movement'') is {{SSBM|Pichu}}'s [[up special move]]. When performed, Pichu will make a quick teleport-like action in any direction. Inputting another direction during this first teleport allows Pichu to immediately perform a second teleport upon finishing the first. Unlike [[Pikachu]]'s [[Quick Attack]], the move does not deal any damage. Pichu will also be dealt 1% [[recoil damage]] for the first jump, and another 3% if it uses the second one.


'''Agility''' ({{ja|こうそくいどう|Kōsoku Idō}}, ''High-Speed Movement'') is [[Pichu]]'s [[up special move]].
==Other uses==
 
Pichu's up special has 1 frame of lag if the player hits the ground correctly, making it the most lagless move in ''[[Melee]]'', but if the player messes up, he or she will have 14 frames of lag. The player can quickly jump and use the up special and then input another attack. For reference, look [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=221079 here] or [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=74226 here] for more details and tricks.
==Overview==
When performed, Pichu will make a quick teleport-like action in any direction.
 
Inputting another direction during this first teleport allows Pichu to immediately perform a second teleport upon finishing the first. Pichu's Agility can be used in more directions than [[Pikachu]]'s [[Quick Attack]], and also travels slower and covers slightly less distance. Pichu will also be dealt 1% [[recoil damage]] for the first jump, and another 3% if it uses the second one. Agility does not deal any damage, meaning it is functionally more similar to Quick Attack as it appeared in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' as opposed to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Pichu's up special has 1 frame of lag if the player hits the ground correctly, making it the most lagless move in ''Melee'', but if the player messes up, the move will have 14 frames of lag. The player can quickly jump and use the up special and then input another attack. For reference, look [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=221079 here] or [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=74226 here] for more details and tricks.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Agility once again serves as Pichu's up special. Unlike in ''Melee'', the move travels farther than Pikachu's Quick Attack, and it deals less recoil damage to Pichu, though its continued lack of a damaging hitbox when combined with its retained recoil damage renders it entirely useless as an approach option compared to Quick Attack. As with Pikachu's Quick Attack, an arrow now appears to indicate the direction Pichu will go in during each part of the move.

In the ''Pokémon'' games, Agility is a status Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I. It increases a Pokémon's Speed stat by 2 stages. As the maximum amount of stat changes is six stages, the move can be used up to three times before any further uses will have no effect, going from doubling, to tripling, and then quadrupling a Pokémon's original speed stat value. Despite not being an Electric-type or damaging move in both ''Melee'' and the ''Pokémon'' series, Pichu still takes recoil damage when using it.
In the ''Pokémon'' games, Agility is a status Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I. It increases a Pokémon's Speed by 2 stages, and can be stacked up to 3 times (from double to triple and finally quadruple its original value) so the maximum number of increase stages is six. Competitive battlers usually work their Pokémon's speed so that after one Agility, the user is faster than most other Pokémon, ensuring that they go first. Despite not being an electric move, Pichu still takes damage when using it in ''Melee''.


In the ''Pokémon'' games, Pichu cannot legitimately learn Agility, but its first evolution stage, Pikachu, can learn this move by leveling up in any game. This trait is shared with [[Skull Bash]].
In the ''Pokémon'' games, Pichu cannot legitimately learn Agility (it is, however, learned by its first-stage evolution Pikachu). This trait is shared with Skull Bash.
