===Matchups===
{{SSBBMatchupTable|pikachu=yes}}
Pikachu's matchup spread, according to [[character matchup (SSBB)|the current SmashBoards matchup chart]], has the sixth highest unweighted rank, the sixth highest total, and the fifth highest weighted total. Pikachu has overall very favorable matchups. Pikachu is [[counter]]ed by one character, [[soft counter]]ed by four, has five even matchups, soft counters ten, counters twelve, and [[hard counter]]s four. Pikachu is notable for being the only character in the game to have an even matchup against {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, though there has been much dispute over this and many think the matchup is actually in Meta Knight's favor. Pikachu tends to have a strong advantage against characters who it can chain throw with its down throw - it notably counters {{SSBB|Fox}}, {{SSBB|Wolf}}, {{SSBB|Sheik}} and {{SSBB|Falco}} due to their extremely fast [[falling speed]] acceleration, which makes them unable to escape the chain throw until KO percents, like most characters can; Pikachu can 0-death Fox, Sheik, and Captain Falcon using its down throw, and it can perform a similar 0-death on Wolf and Falco if Pikachu performs a fresh down throw at 20% if the down throws are [[buffer]]ed. Pikachu also does well against characters who it can easily outspeed and outmaneuver using [[QAC]]. Pikachu tends to have trouble against characters who can easily beat it in the air, and characters whose playstyle forces Pikachu to fight in the air, such as {{SSBB|Olimar}}, {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBB|Lucario}}, {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSBB|Marth}}.
