Performs a jumping headbutt, launching the opponent vertically. Insignificant damage output, totaling only 4%. An iconic Pikachu finishing move is following up an up throw at high percents with Thunder, spiking the opponent at the storm cloud and meteor smashing them back down for impressive knockback and 25% total damage dealt. If the opponent's damage is too high to pull this off, the Pikachu player should short hop or jump first to better connect the combo, as the throw will send them too high for Thunder to hit. Opponent DI can disrupt this, but the combo is impressive when completed properly.
