'''Thunderspiking''' is a technique that [[Pikachu]] and [[Pichu]] can use by launching an opponent upwards (usually from an [[up smash]] or an [[up tilt]]) and subsequently using {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} to [[Star KO]] them when they are near the upper [[blast line]], allowing them to score a vertical KO at rather low damage [[percentage]]s. This technique is often used as a combo finisher (notably at the end of {{Sm|Isai}}'s [[Greenhouse]] combo in ''Smash 64''), or just for [[KO]]ing. In ''Smash 64'', the tornado hazard on [[Hyrule Castle]] can be used by Pikachu players to set up a Thunderspike, due to its high vertical knockback | '''Thunderspiking''' is a technique that [[Pikachu]] and [[Pichu]] can use by launching an opponent upwards (usually from an [[up smash]] or an [[up tilt]]) and subsequently using {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} to [[Star KO]] them when they are near the upper [[blast line]], allowing them to score a vertical KO at rather low damage [[percentage]]s.
