Pikachu slams on top of its opponent. Deals 10% damage, with pretty low vertical knockback. It can be followed up with an {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSBB|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSBB|up smash}}, or a {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSBB|neutral aerial}} if the opponent [[double jump]]s away. The throw is notable for being a highly effective [[chaingrab]] on certain characters. Many characters are able to escape after a few down throws by [[footstool]]ing Pikachu, though it can [[0-death]] {{SSBB|Fox}}, as his extremely fast [[falling speed]] acceleration makes him unable to escape the down throws until extremely high percentages, while an up smash to [[Thunderspike]] can easily be used before this is possible. This can also be performed on {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBB|Sheik}}, and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} by [[buffer]]ing the down throws. Additionally, a 0-death with buffered down throws to a Thunderspike can be used on {{SSBB|Falco}} and {{SSBB|Wolf}}, though a fresh down throw must be used at 20%. This is usually done using two {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSBB|forward throw}}s→[[pummel]]→down throw. Lastly, {{SSBB|Snake}} can be 0-deathed with buffered down throws, but the requirements are extremely strict - not only does it require a fresh down throw at 23%, but it must also be done on the edge of the stage. Normally, Snake can pull out a [[Hand Grenade]] in one frame to stop the chaingrab, but if done on the edge, the grenade will fall off the stage, harming neither Pikachu or Snake.

On some characters, Pikachu can perform a 0-death combo by using down throw, up tilt, footstool jump into [[Quick Attack lock]] (with QAC) repeatedly, then a [[jab lock]] repeatedly to the edge of the stage. A {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSBB|forward smash}} or {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} can be used while the opponent is forced to get up to KO. This combo can be escaped with proper [[SDI]].

Outside of chaingrabbing and the extremely advanced QAC lock followups, the throw is a rather useful [[combo]] move. At lower percentages, it can lead into an up tilt then aerials, and on many characters, it can lead into an up smash to Thunderspike at higher percentages.
