Pichu charges electricity from its cheek pouches before leaning forward and aggressively releasing it. This move, coming out on frame 16 and ending on frame 49, is one of its most useful versatile tools. Pichu's forward smash is difficult to tech thanks to its long duration, low hitboxes, and great knockback potential. The move's sourspots can be used to surprise fast-fallers such as {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} near the ledge, which can cause them to flub their recovery and subsequently self-destruct. The move can also be used after a jab reset. Lastly, Pichu can use it as a situational neutral tool, allowing it to circumvent its difficulty in landing the move otherwise. Pichu's forward smash, while potent as an edgeguarding tool, is rarely seen elsewhere, as it fails to protect Pichu from hits above or behind it, which can allow the opponent a free punish. Using it to call out ledge invincibility positions is risky, since this can lead to prediction battles for Pichu. | Pichu charges electricity from its cheek pouches before leaning forward and aggressively releasing it.
