Overview
Pikachu does a flip while swinging its tail in an arc above itself, dealing 4% damage. The move is extremely quick and has low knockback, making it an excellent move for juggling and spacing. It has a disjointed hitbox as well, increasing its spacing capabilities. If the tip of its tail hits, the opponent will instead be sent down on a semi-spike trajectory, which is useful for gimping and can be deadly against characters with poor recoveries if spaced correctly. The move can edgeguard reliably even at lower percentages. The move is essential in certain matchups, particularly against Jigglypuff, who is floaty and has limited options for attacking below itself, making it vulnerable to the move's juggling ability.
