Pichu performs significantly worse than Pikachu, particularly in the singles format, largely due to its reduced weight and garnering recoil damage while using some of its moves. A key change is the added [[recoil damage]] on several of its moves, making them less rewarding to land and mildly punishing the user for choosing the option, regardless of whether or not it connects. Pichu is also smaller than Pichu, while also having a shield that protects its body more consistently than Pikachu's. Both traits culminate into a character that is significantly harder to hit than its evolved form- although its lighter weight counteracts these benefits.

Asides from some of Pichu's recovery options dealing recoil damage, the movement of [[Agility]] is slower and has no attack hitboxes unlike Pikachu's version. However, Pichu's version of Agility can travel in more directions than Pikachu's and has only one frame of landing lag. Pichu also has the ability to wall jump. Due to the situational nature of wall jumping, Pichu's recoil damage, and the reduced movement speed of Agility, Pikachu's recovery is noticeably superior.
