Pikachu

  Characters
Pikachu

With perfectly round cheeks and a jagged tail,
this can only be that most familiar of Pokémon, Pikachu!

It may be small and agile, but its electricity gives it powerful attacks.
It’s what you would call an all-around character.

Pikachu: Special Moves

  Characters

The first time you hit with Pikachu’s side smash attack, you’ll hit with an attack strength of 20%—quite an impressive rating! There aren’t many other standard moves that can deal that kind of damage.

screenshot

This is the kind of strike timing you want!

After the first hit, the attack strength will decrease to 17%, then 14%. Just remember it’s best to hit in quick succession.


<Up Special Move: Quick Attack>

It’s important to remember that with Quick Attack, you make two jump moves!

screenshot

Press up + the special-move button.

When preparing, tilt the Control Stick in the direction you want to fly first. Pikachu will launch in that direction.

screenshot

For example, here’s Pikachu flying up diagonally.

While flying, tilt your Control Stick quickly in another direction—you’ll get a second jump!

screenshot

Change direction and jump again!

However, you can’t do your second jump in the direction you’re already headed. The angle of the second jump must be at least 38 degrees different from the previous trajectory.

Try to aim for something a little less than 45 degrees and you’ll be able to travel a pretty good distance.

screenshot

Maybe this is about the best possible distance you can jump?


<Down Special Move: Thunder>

Ah, electricity—the source of Pikachu’s power. Any enemy directly above will get hit with a strong, electrifying jolt!

screenshot

Pikaaaaa!

Even more powerful than zapping your enemies with electricity is having them touching Pikachu as the electricity strikes. This type of attack has high launching power and a fairly good range.

screenshot

You’re not as vulnerable, but you don’t get the secondary attack.

screenshot

You’re momentarily vulnerable, but anyone near Pikachu’s body gets launched!

Watch out, though—electrical attacks can be absorbed and reflected. 

screenshot

Thanks!

Try to keep your opponents guessing about when you’ll use this move.

Pikachu: Final Smash

  Characters

<Volt Tackle>

What is Volt Tackle? It’s Pikachu’s Final Smash!

That pretty much describes it. You don’t need an Electric Ball to unleash it, but you do need a Smash Ball.

screenshot

Volt Tackle is unleashed! Pikachu transforms into a ball of light.

screenshot

You can now control that ball of light for a brief period.
Hunt them! Hunt them down!

screenshot

It’s quite speedy while airborne. This...can be dangerous.

It flies through the air wildly, so take care not to lose control.

But if it ends in midair, something terrible will happen.

screenshot

Ah... This doesn’t look good.
