Overview

Functions as Pichu's general purpose smash attack, with its other two smash attacks largely being relegated to on stage edgeguard opportunities.

Only possesses a clean hit, unlike Pikachu's version which also has mid and late hits. The move covers Pichu's body much more consistently than Pikachu's version, at the cost of some range. Interestingly, the beginning of the move has higher base knockback than than Pikachu's sweetspotted version.
