Unveiled at [[E3]] 2006, '''Pikachu''' ({{ja|ピカチュウ}}, ''Pikachū'') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In the E3 2006, Pikachu didn't show its Final Smash like Mario, Kirby, and Link did. Visually, Pikachu has barely changed at all from its ''Melee'' design, only being larger and touched up slightly. It retains all of its moves from ''Melee''. | Unveiled at [[E3]] 2006, '''Pikachu''' ({{ja|ピカチュウ}}, ''Pikachū'') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

It is currently in the B Tier and holds 8th position. This makes Pikachu closer to its original Top Tier status in ''Super Smash Bros,'' where it was ranked first place, as opposed to its D Tier status in ''Melee,'' where it is ranked twelfth place. It is currently the highest-ranked character in ''Brawl'' that has appeared in all three Super Smash Bros. games and the highest-ranked in the ''Pokémon'' series. Pikachu's decent KOing power, quick overall speed, good recovery and edge-guarding game, good chain grab (having two chain grabs), and ''Brawl's'' new physics have helped it a lot; Pikachu can no longer be so easily combo'd, its grab range is no longer the shortest (Ganondorf now has the shortest grab range), its [[Thunder]] is not as laggy, and it gained various new tactics such as [[Quick Attack cancel]]ling. However, it has a relatively weak air game, placing it at a disadvantage against characters with particularly powerful air games, such as {{SSBB|Olimar}}. Regardless, Pikachu still has very high matchups, including being the only character with an considered even matchup against {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}.
