'''Pichu''' (ピチュー, ''Pichū'') is a character from the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' series]], and is the younger (pre-evolved) form of main series mascot [[Pikachu]].
'''Pichu''' is a small Electric-type Pokémon that appears as [[Pikachu|Pikachu's]] "clone" in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]. Its moveset is virtually identical to Pikachu's, however, there are some subtle differences. For example, when Pichu's Skull Bash is completely charged, it will almost always send the opponent flying (It does take longer to charge than Pikachu's though). One drawback when playing as Pichu is the fact that it hurts itself with its most powerful moves, so most of the time you'll find yourself relying on items.

*'''B →''' Skull Bash (As mention above, although Pichu does take damage from this attack, it can send foes flying.)
Pichu is a tiny electric mouse and the pre-evolved younger form of [[Pikachu]]. It is inexperienced with its ability to handle electric attacks, so when it attacks with electricity it does damage to itself.

*'''B ↑''' Agility (Press Up+B and then two directions. Pichu will then fly in the directions you chose. Note this move causes Pichu to take damage.)

===As a playable character===
:''Main article: [[Pichu (SSBM)]]''
Pichu makes a playable appearance in this game, albeit as the weakest character and an intentional "joke" fighter. Melee is notably the only game that is true to Pichu's Pokédex description of harming itself with it's own electrical energy, whenever Pichu performs an attack that involves electricity, he takes a few percentage of damage.


===Trophies===
*'''B ↓''' Thunder (This move call a mighty bolt of lightning to hit all enemies in the immediate area. Note: Pichu doesn't suffer recoil damage if it's under a platform.)
Pichu has three collectable trophies, like the other 25 characters in ''Melee'', its original trophy, the Smash Red trophy, and the Smash Blue trophy.


==''In Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
[[Category:SSBM characters]]
Pichu, along with [[Roy]], [[Dr. Mario]] and [[Mewtwo]], does not return in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' perhaps due to low popularity, However, one of Pikachu's outfits feature blue goggles very similar to the ones Pichu wore in Melee. In a hacked version of the game, Pichu was the only one of the four removed characters that wasn't even considered or had any programming done.

Pichu is a small Electric-type Pokémon that appears as Pikachu's "clone" in Melee. Its moveset is virtually identical to Pikachu's, however, there are some subtle differences. For example, when Pichu's Skull Bash is completely charged, it will almost always send the opponent flying (It does take longer to charge than Pikachu's though). One drawback when playing as Pichu is the fact that it hurts itself with its most powerful moves, so most of the time you'll find yourself relying on items.

Special Moves

  • B Thunder Jolt (When Pichu uses this, the Pokémon will incur some damage.)
  • B → Skull Bash (As mention above, although Pichu does take damage from this attack, it can send foes flying.)
  • B ↑ Agility (Press Up+B and then two directions. Pichu will then fly in the directions you chose. Note this move causes Pichu to take damage.)
  • B ↓ Thunder (This move call a mighty bolt of lightning to hit all enemies in the immediate area. Note: Pichu doesn't suffer recoil damage if it's under a platform.)
