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.

The hitbox of Pikachu's down aerial in Smash 64.
The hitbox of Pikachu's dair.

Pikachu does a "Downward Thunder Jolt" where it thrusts its head downwards while covering itself in electricity, 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 Link's 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 combos, and it has a high shield stun which allows shield pressure for the opponent.
