-Pikachu does a "Downward Thunder Jolt" where it thrusts its head downwards while covering itself in [[electric]]ity, electrocuting opponents near it. The attack does 10%-13% damage and average knockback and is a good move to KO offstage. Like most of Pikachu's other aerials, its down aerial is fairly [[disjointed]]. Similar to {{SSB|Link}}'s {{mvsub|Link|SSB|down aerial}} however, this move can cause [[landing lag]] if Pikachu slams its head on the ground and it will take a second or so to get back up, making it vulnerable for [[punishing]] while in that animation. Unlike his down aerial, Pikachu's down aerial is good for other moves to follow up in [[combo]]s, and it has a high [[shield stun]] which allows shield pressure for the opponent.
+Pikachu thrusts its head downwards whilst covering itself in [[electric]]ity, electrocuting opponents that are within range. The attack deals 13% [[damage]] and average [[knockback]], being a good [[KO]] move offstage. It is also decent for [[combo]]ing floaty characters, and can [[tech-chase]] [[fastfaller]]s, along with having some high [[shield stun]] which allows it to shield [[pressure]] opponents. Like most of Pikachu's other aerials, this move is fairly [[disjointed]] as well. On the downside, however, this move has a decent amount of [[landing lag]] if the move's duration is still taking place whilst Pikachu hits the ground (like {{mvsub|Link|SSB|down aerial|poss=y}}). This leaves Pikachu vulnerable to [[punishing]], though the issue can easily be neglected with [[Z-cancelling]] and the move does [[auto-cancel]] as soon as its hitboxes are no longer active. The move also isn't as quick as Pikachu's other aerials, bar {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|back aerial}}.
-{{technical data}}
+The move is better in the PAL versions of the game due to dealing 14% which allows the move to KO earlier (now being stronger than Pikachu's {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|neutral aerial}}) and further improves its shield pressuring potential although this does also hurt its combo and tech-chasing potential at higher percents.

+==Trivia==
+*This is the only aerial in the game which retained the same amount of landing lag (40 frames) in every Smash game up until {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSBU|down aerial|alt=Ultimate}} (where it would be reduced to 22 frames).
