Pichu (SSBU): Difference between revisions

{{MovesetTable

|game=SSBU

|neutralcount=1

|neutral1dmg=1.2%

|neutraldesc=[[bulbapedia:Headbutt (move)|Does a quick headbutt]]. Has similar properties as Pikachu's jab, though it can link a few more hits before pushing the opponent out of range. Also has less shieldstun.

|ftiltdmg=8%, 1% recoil

|ftiltdesc=Plants itself on its upper paws and kicks with one foot upward in front of itself, and then the other. Very fast (comes out on frame 5) and has very low ending lag, yet it has above average power and can KO at high percents. Can make opponents [[trip]] at low percents. The hitbox last surprisingly long, as Pichu kicks with one foot and then the other, and while the second hitbox is smaller, it doesn't count as a sourspot. Cannot be angled as it could in ''Melee''.

|utiltdmg=5%

|utiltdesc=Swipes its tail above its body in an arc. Can combo into itself at low percents, or into an aerial at mid to high percents.

|dtiltdmg=6%

|dtiltdesc=Swipes its tail in front of itself. Has very low knockback scaling, allowing it to combo into up tilt at low to mid percents, or an aerial even at very high percents.

|dashdmg=8% (clean), 6% (late)

|dashdesc=Jumps and headbutts forward. Less ending lag but less shieldstun compared to Pikachu's. It also has an hitbox on Pichu's torso.

|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|2}} (hits 1-5), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|8}} (hit 6), 2% recoil

|fsmashdesc=Launches a short jolt of electricity from its cheeks. Comes out on frame 16 and is a multihit attack. Stronger than Pikachu's version, does not have sourspots and has less ending lag relative to the hitbox, but has much less range.

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14}}

|usmashdesc=Does an upward headbutt. Pichu's ears become [[Intangibility|intangible]] on frames 9-11. Comes out on frame 9, making it quick for a smash attack. However, its knockback is rather poor for a smash attack.

|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|1.5}} (hits 1-4), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|8}} (hit 6), 1.3% recoil

|dsmashdesc=Discharges electricity while quickly spinning in place. Compared to Pikachu's, it has much less ending lag and it is overall stronger, but it's easier to DI and is worse for edgeguarding due to its angle. Pichu also gains invincibility at frames 7-10.

|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)

|nairdesc=An aerial cartwheel. It is a quick out of shield option and, when compared to Pikachu's, it is more effective for KOing and has more range and less ending lag. Autocancels in a full hop, but is slightly safer when not autocanceled, having 2 less frames of landing lag compared to Pikachu's.

|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3.5}} (hits 1-4), 1.5% recoil

|fairdesc=Does a forward barrel roll. Unlike Pikachu's, it covers Pichu's whole body and uses the autolink angle, connecting better. It deals impressive damage (14% if all the hits connect) and combo into itself at low percents, while also being good for edgeguarding.

|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (hits 1-5), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2.5}} (hit 6), 1.5% recoil

|bairdesc=Does an electric spin similar to its down smash. Can combo at low percentages and edgeguard at higher percents, just like forward aerial. Decent knockback, making it an effective KO option.

|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}}

|uairdesc=Flicks its tail above itself. Good for combos, especially into Thunder. Autocancels in a short hop with less landing lag than Pikachu's version.

|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|13}}, {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (landing), 1.5% recoil after startup, 0.5% recoil landing (can land before startup)

|dairdesc=Does a downward barrel roll. Has the capability to meteor smash opponents during the clean hit, which has a generously long duration (four frames), and, although with strict timing, it can autocancel in a short hop. Pichu's ears become intangible for the entire duration of the clean hit(frames 14-17). The late hit has good coverage in Pichu's body.

|grabdesc=Quickly leans forward and grabs with one arm. Has a range of approximately Pichu's body width, being somewhat short-ranged. Its grabs are the fastest in the game.

|pummeldmg=1.4%, 0.1% recoil

|pummeldesc=Shocks the opponent. Above average power and moderate speed.

|fthrowdmg=1.5% (hits 1-4), 6% (throw), 0.8% recoil

|fthrowdesc=Places the opponent on its back and shocks them, sending them forward. Pichu's strongest throw, it starts KOing middleweights at around 153% near the edge of [[Final Destination]].

|bthrowdmg=9%

|bthrowdesc=Does a backwards somersaults with the opponent, then flings them behind itself. Pichu's second strongest throw, but it can only KO middleweight late, starting at around 181% at the edge of Final Destination.

|uthrowdmg=5% (hit 1), 5% (throw)

|uthrowdesc=Tosses foe up and headbutts them. Can infamously combo into {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} making it a reliable finisher between medium and high percents.

|dthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 4% (throw)

|dthrowdesc=Places opponent on the ground, then jumps on them. Can combo into an aerial at low to mid percents.
