|ftiltdesc=Plants itself on its upper paws and kicks with one foot upward in front of itself, and then the other. Cannot be angled as it could in ''Melee''. Very fast (comes out on frame 5) and has very low ending lag, yet it has above average power and can KO at high percents. Can make opponents [[trip]] at low percents. The hitbox last surprisingly long (8 frames), as Pichu kicks with one foot and then the other, and while the second hitbox is smaller, it doesn't count as a sourspot. The first kick reaches notably low; combined with its speed and power, forward tilt is a notably strong [[2 frame punish]] at the ledge.

Autocancels in a full hop, but is slightly safer when not autocanceled, having 2 less frames of landing lag compared to Pikachu's.

|dairdesc=Does a downward barrel roll. Has the capability to meteor smash opponents during the clean hit, which has a generously long duration (four frames), and, although with strict timing, it can autocancel in a short hop. Pichu's ears become intangible for the entire duration of the clean hit(frames 14-17). The late hit has good coverage in Pichu's body.
