Skull Bash is [[Pikachu]]'s [[Side B]] attack. Pikachu is launched through the air into an opponent. This attack can be charged to increase strength and the distance that Pikachu flies. However, Pikachu is vulnerable to attacks while charging.
'''Skull Bash''' is [[Pikachu]] and [[Pichu]]'s [[Smash B]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  It is similar to [[Luigi]]'s [[Green Missile]], only without the chance of a misfire. The move can be charged up to increase the damage and range of the attack. Pichu can charge for longer, but hurts himself upon releasing; the knockback when fully charged is tremendous, and is used in most [[Home Run Contest]] strategies in lieu of the [[Home Run Bat|bat]]. In Brawl, Skull Bash charges much faster than in Melee, and is an excellent move to recover with. When fully charged Pikachu will go about as far as  the size of Final Destination. Though, unlike the Green Missile, you can't hold the charge, and when fully charged Pikachu will shoot forward. Even with it's great distance, it's not used too often as Pikachu falls at a quick speed.


Skull Bash is based on a move with the same name in the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' video games]]. The Pokémon that uses it first must spend one turn getting ready for the attack, then launches itself at its opponent the next turn. Strangely, Pikachu are no longer able to learn Skull Bash in the Pokémon games, while previously it could only learn it from a TM in Generation 1. When Melee came out, Generation 1 had ended.
