Pikachu drills itself forward while surrounding itself in [[electric]]ity. The attack does 7 hits in total, and each hit does 3% [[damage]]; thus, the total amount of damage Pikachu can deal is 21%. The move possesses a landing hit with horizontal knockback if Pikachu does not [[Z-cancel]] the move. As a drill attack, the move has very weak set [[knockback]], and while it has a great damage output if all the hits are landed, the opponent can easily [[SDI]] away to avoid this. This can allow opponents to potentially avoid followups, although it is still a strong combo starter, being able to lead into {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|neutral aerial}} or {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up aerial}} when used in the air. If Pikachu lands while using the move on an opponent and Z cancels it, it has even stronger followup potential, being able to lead into most of Pikachu's ground moves including his {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up tilt}} and {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up smash}} to lead into combos. It is overall a very solid move in Pikachu's kit, being a solid combo starter which can potentially also deal a lot of damage.

As a drill attack, the move has very weak [[knockback]], and while it has a great damage output if all the hits are landed, the opponent can easily [[SDI]] away to avoid this. This makes the move also lacking in [[combo]] ability; however, a {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|neutral aerial}} or {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up aerial}} can be used immediately after the move on an aerial opponent, setting up an [[edgeguard]] or finishing off a combo. If Pikachu lands while using the move on an opponent and [[Z-cancel]]ling it (as it has moderate [[landing lag]] otherwise), it can also potentially set up [[grab]]s and {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up tilt}}s. This move is commonly considered one of Pikachu's least useful moves due to its overall lack of utility.
