| '''{{BP|Pikachu_(Pokémon)|Pikachu}}''' is an electric type Pokemon and is the mascot of the popular ''[[Pokémon]]'' series, made by [[Game Freak]]. However, Pikachu's only appearance alongside [[Mario]] is in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

| Pikachu appeared as a default character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' It was a useful player, as its electric attacks could inflict serious damage. However, its [[#Quick Attack|Quick Attack]] was its prize move, as it could escape almost every fall, if done correctly. However, it is rather light, and can be knocked off the stage easily.

| *'''Mei Ling''': ''(overjoyed)'' Ooh, how cuute!
| |
| *'''Snake''': What? The yellow thing?
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': That's Pikachu. It's a Pokémon. They're popular all over the world, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful, It can store up large amounts of electricity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with electric shocks.
| |
| *'''Snake''': Couldn't be much worse than [[:wikipedia:Revolver Ocelot|Ocelot]]'s old torture device...
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Oh, and, Snake?
| |
| *'''Snake''': What?
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': I was wondering, could you maybe try and catch Pikachu for me? Pleeeeease?
| |
| *'''Snake''': Give me a break! What do I look like, a Pokémon Trainer?

| =====The Subspace Emissary=====
| |
| [[File:SubspaceIntro-Pikachu.png|thumb|left|'''Pikachu''''s snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
| |
| Pikachu begins the game trapped within a strange device that harnesses its electrical energy to provide power to the complex. [[Samus]], infiltrating the complex in search of her [[Power Suit]], sees that the device causes Pikachu pain, and breaks it. In thanks, Pikachu helps Samus continue through the lab. Eventually, the pair come across Samus's Power Suit within a tank. After dispatching two clones of Samus, Pikachu helps Samus (in her newly regained Power Suit) through the rest of the facility and helps her defeat [[Ridley]].
| |
| | |
| After escaping from the complex, Pikachu and Samus infiltrate [[the Subspace Bomb Factory]] and encounter the [[Ancient Minister]]. Despite [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Captain Olimar]] coming in soon after, the Ancient Minister does not fight back, and tries to stop the other R.O.B.s from obeying [[Ganondorf]]. Ganondorf gets the R.O.B.s to set up multiple Subspace Bombs, and the Ancient Minister, with the R.O.B.s no longer under his control, reveals himself to be the head [[R.O.B.]] of the island and helps Pikachu and the others defeat the [[Subspace Army]] and escape the island in the [[Falcon Flyer]] before it is consumed by [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]].
| |
| | |
| Pikachu and the rest of its team join the remaining heroes in their last stand against Subspace, only to be defeated by [[Tabuu]]. Fortunately, [[King Dedede]] had planned this in advance and created badges that revived fighters from being trophies. Using these, he is able to form a team conisting of himself, [[Luigi]], and [[Ness]]. Dedede and his group then revived most of the others, including Pikachu, before everyone has rejoined and proceeded to face Tabuu in a final battle.

| ==Special Moves==
| |
| ===Thunder Jolt===
| |
| [[File:BrawlThunderJolt.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Pikachu's '''Thunder Jolt'''.]]
| |
| {{main|Smashwiki:Thunder Jolt}}
| |
| '''Thunder Jolt''' is one of Pikachu's moves used in all the games in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. [[Pichu]] can also use this attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. To execute this move, the player must simply press the B Button. A blast of electricity will come out from Pikachu's cheeks. It will then start passing by the field, until it finally loses all power, or hits someone. If Pikachu is standing on a platform when using this attack, it will move underneath the platform, rather than falling. When in the air, doing this attack would create a ball of lightning. This ball of lighting is less accurate, but definitely more powerful. When [[Kirby]] copies Pikachu's powers, he will be able to use Thunder Jolt.
| |
| | |
| Strangely, this attack name isn't used in any actual [[Pokémon]] games. However, the moves [[bulbapedia:Thunderbolt (move)|Thunder'''b'''olt]] or [[bulbapedia:ThunderShock (move)|ThunderShock]] may be similar to this move. It does however appear in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.{{fact}}

| | |
| ===Skull Bash===
| |
| [[File:Skull bash.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Pikachu's '''Skull Bash''' in ''Brawl''.]]
| |
| {{main|Smashwiki:Skull Bash}}
| |
| '''Skull Bash''' is a move that both Pikachu and [[Pichu]] know in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is executed by pressing Side + B. Once done, Pikachu will pull its head back, and then push forward into the opponent with a headbutt. The player could hold down on the B button to charge the attack. This will make the attack stronger, and will make it more accurate. Sometimes, Pikachu will even be able to fly completely across some stages, like [[Pokémon Stadium]] or [[Green Greens]]. If the player charges the attack to its limit, then Pikachu will use the attack automatically. Pikachu's Skull Bash can charge faster, but its attack and range are slightly shorter than Pichu's.
| |
| | |
| Pikachu could only learn [[bulbapedia:Skull Bash (move)|this move]] in the 1st generation games, but the move may also be a reference to the attack, [[bulbapedia:Headbutt (move)|Headbutt]]. Also, [[Luigi]] can perform a similar attack, called the [[Luigi#Green Missile|Green Missile]].
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ===Quick Attack===
| |
| [[File:Pikachu Quick Attack Brawl.jpg|thumb|200px|Pikachu's '''Quick Attack''' in ''Brawl''.]] | |
| {{main|Smashwiki:Quick Attack}}
| |
| ''' Quick Attack''' is one of Pikachu's moves in all three ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' games. It is based on [[bulbapedia:Quick Attack|Quick Attack]], a move from the Pokémon games, in which Pikachu can learn it. To perform the move, one must press Up + B. This will cause Pikachu to rocket into the sky, at light speed. If the Control Stick is tilted to the side, Pikachu will do another jump, except to the side. This acts as Pikachu's third and fourth jumps, but it is very difficult to master. It will deal 2% damage to anybody who touches Pikachu while in the air. The move is the same in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
| |
| | |
| A similar move is [[Pichu#Agility|Agility]], performed by [[Pichu]]. Additionally, [[Lucario]] can use the move [[Lucario#ExtremeSpeed|ExtremeSpeed]]. However, that move works differently compared to Pikachu's Quick Attack.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| ===Thunder===
| |
| [[File:Pikachu Thunder Brawl.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Pikachu's '''Thunder''' in ''Brawl''.]]
| |
| {{main|Smashwiki:Thunder}}
| |
| '''Thunder''' is a move used by both Pikachu and [[Pichu]] in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' games, and returns as one of Pikachu's attacks in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. To perform it, one must press Down + B, which will cause a powerful thunder bolt to drop down onto the screen, in a vertical line from directly above the user. It will fall onto Pikachu, and will hurt any player that touches the lightning, or within close range. It doesn't cause damage to Pikachu. However, if Pikachu is jumping when the attack strikes, it will not hit underneath them. It is Pikachu's strongest move, in both ''Super Smash Bros.'' and the ''Pokémon'' series, from which [[bulbapedia:Thunder (move)|the move is taken]].
| |

| |
| ===Volt Tackle===
| |
| [[File:VoltTackle3.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Pikachu's '''Volt Tackle'''.]] | |
| {{main|Smashwiki:Volt Tackle}}
| |
| '''Volt Tackle''' is the name of Pikachu's [[Final Smash]] in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Once Pikachu has collected the [[Smash Ball]], it will proceed to charge up a massive amount of electricity. Once charged up, it will dash incredibly quickly in any direction the Control Stick/D-pad is pointed. This will send anyone it hits flying in the air. The move can be easily used in mid-air.
| |
| | |
| Volt Tackle is named [[bulbapedia:Volt Tackle|after a secret move]] in the Pokémon Advance games and later that only members of the Pikachu family can learn. It is a powerful attack that gives the user recoil damage when it's used. This move in Pokémon is a direct reference to the signature move of the titular character of a Genesis game called Pulseman made by Game Freak. The move's look and controls in ''Brawl'' are also direct references to the move's look and controls from Pulseman.
| |
| | |
| Also, this move would be first learned by [[Pichu]] since the move can't be learned normally without breeding.

| | It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

| | While its electrical attacks, such as Thunder and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional Quick Attack, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up Skull Bash.

| | The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

| | align=center | A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's sleeping. It evolves into Raichu.

Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', [[Wario]] collects a treasure called "[[The_Big_Bridge#Green_Chest:_Pok.C3.A9mon_Pikachu|Pokémon Pikachu]]", based on the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Pikachu|device of the same name]].
| |
| [[File:Pikachu n64.jpg|thumb|right|The special '''Pikachu edition''' of the Nintendo 64.]]
| |
| *One of its alternate outfits in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' are a pair of goggles. These were worn by Pichu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Another of its alternate outfits in the same game is a green headband, worn by [[Jigglypuff]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
| |
| *Pikachu is the only fighter to have only four recolors in ''Brawl''. In fact, it has had only four recolors in all three installments of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
| |
| *During the era of the [[Nintendo 64]] a special Pikachu edition of the system was released.
| |
| *Although female Pikachu have a v-shaped dent on their tails, this Pikachu is indeterminate gendered, since gender differences didn't exist until the 4th generation of ''Pokémon'' role-playing titles.
