Potentially due to its dominating status in competitive play during the early metagame of ''Ultimate'', Pichu was significantly nerfed in game updates. Although its pummel was slightly buffed in update {{SSBU|2.0.0}}, it received several big nerfs in update {{SSBU|3.1.0}}. Pichu's hurtbox is larger, forward smash has more ending lag, its infamously strong forward tilt has less knockback scaling, and almost all of its electric attacks deal more recoil damage, noticeably worsening its already abysmal endurance. | Potentially due to its dominating status in competitive play during the early metagame of ''Ultimate'', Pichu was significantly nerfed in game updates.

Overall, Pichu fares much worse than it did when ''Ultimate'' launched. While Pichu is still far stronger than its ''Melee'' iteration, the nerfs it received has led to its tournament representation and results to drastically decline and Pichu is now considered to be a high-tier or mid-tier character at best in comparison to its top-tier status in the early metagame. | Overall, Pichu fares much worse than it did when ''Ultimate'' launched.
