'''Pikachu''' ({{ja|ピカチュウ|Pikachū}}, ''Pikachu'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.


Pikachu is the first Pokémon series representative to display both male and female variants of itself throughout its costumes.
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Pikachu has received two new alternate costumes: one that has it wear {{iw|bulbapedia|Moon|game}}'s hat from her official ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Sun and Moon}}'' artwork, and the other based on {{s|bulbapedia|Pikachu Libre}}. Both costumes are female versions of itself, and adequately change its tail to be heart-shaped, akin to female Pikachu in the main ''Pokémon'' games from {{s|bulbapedia|Generation IV}} onwards.}}


Pikachu now has a new as of yet unnamed [[Final Smash]], resembling [[Volt Tackle]].
===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Forward tilt has an [[electric]] effect.}}
 
===Aerial attacks===
*{{change|Pikachu has a new [[neutral aerial]]: it releases an electric surge around itself in an all fours stance with its tail pointing upward, which hits multiple times.}}
 
===Special moves===
*{{change|The electricity discharged when the lightning from {{b|Thunder|Pikachu}} strikes Pikachu is yellow rather than blue, and has Pikachu flash with a dark tint.}}
*{{change|Pikachu's [[Final Smash]] now involves it dashing quickly around the stage at different angles while surrounded in a ball of electricity (the latter trait akin to [[Volt Tackle]]), then launching opponents with an electric blast at the end of the move as the ball disappears. It is currently unknown if this is still Volt Tackle, or a new Final Smash.}}
 
==Trivia==
