'''Pikachu and Pichu''' is the 48th [[event match]] of the 51 event matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. 

The player controls a fighter of their choice and must win a [[stock]] match against two CPU {{SSBM|Pichu}} and a CPU {{SSBM|Pikachu}} on the [[Dream Land]] stage, where the player starts with 2 stocks, the Pichu start with 1 stock, and Pikachu starts with infinite stocks. This event match features no time limit. The red and green CPU Pichu's [[artificial intelligence]] is each set at Level 5 and 6 (in addition to both of them taking 0.8x knockback; about as much knockback taken as {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSBM|Link}}, two heavyweights), while the CPU Pikachu's artificial intelligence is set at Level 9, while also giving 1.24x knockback (For example, Pikachu's neutral aerial can KO {{SSBM|Mario}} about 40% earlier from center stage).

When this match starts, the player's fighter will spawn on the center of the main platform, while the red Pichu spawns on the rightmost soft platform, the green Pichu spawns on the top soft platform, and Pikachu spawns on the leftmost soft platform. The Pichu do not actively attack the player unless they are approached, while Pikachu attacks the player's fighter. If one Pichu is [[KO]]'d, the other Pichu will attack the player's fighter. If the player's fighter KOs both Pichu, it will result in a victory.

==Strategies==
The Pikachu is very aggresive and will attack immediately. The Pichus however, will rather flee than fight. However, if they have an open opportunity, they will attack, usually with [[Thunder]].

===[[Capt. Falcon]] or [[Ganondorf]]===

Using [[Falcon Punch]] or [[Warlock Punch]] on the enemies can KO them quickly.
===[[DK]]===
Use DK's forward throw on the Pichus and drop off the edge while carrying them. The last one should try to be thrown so they die first.

===[[Kirby]]===
Swallow a Pichu and jump off. Repeat. They'll die first, and they may break out and fall to their doom and Kirby will be able to recover, too.

===[[Jigglypuff]] (World Record strategy)===
Set up the two Pichus in a way such that they will fall right onto Jigglypuff's Rest immediately, and they should both die quickly.

==Trivia==
*This event match's name is a reference to the animated short ''[[bulbapedia:PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]'' where in one scene, Pikachu has to protect the two Pichu brothers and escape from an angry {{Pkmn|Houndour}}.
*This is the only event match in ''Melee'' that takes place on an [[unlockable stage|unlockable]] [[past stage]], which in this case, is Dream Land.
**Unlocking the Dream Land stage is not required to unlock this event match, whereas the stage itself must be unlocked by completing the [[Target Smash!#Target Test (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Target Test]] with all 25 fighters.
