| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified.

Pikachu (ピカチュウ, Pikachū) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. It retains its special moves of Thunder Jolt, Quick Attack, Thunder, and Skull Bash. Pikachu's appearance has been updated to match the most recent Pokémon games (such as the Generation V and VI main series games and PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure) and the Pokémon anime episodes; its model has been altered, and continues the trend of being gradually less chubby with each additional appearance. Pikachu is additionally significantly more brightly colored.
Changes from Brawl
Skull Bash travels farther when charged.- Up tilt and up aerial both have drastically less ending lag. The former also has much lower knockback scaling, making it more useful at lower percentages.
- Sweetspotted dash attack is much stronger.
- Neutral aerial deals much more damage when sweetspotted; it deals 16% as opposed to the 12% it dealt in Brawl.
- Forward aerial has reduced landing lag, and is more powerful to the point where it has KO potential offstage.
- Down smash is much harder to SDI out of.
It has higher ending lag.
- Forward smash, forward tilt, up aerial, and back aerial deal less damage.
- Down throw appears to have higher knockback growth, limiting its followup options.
- Pikachu's Quick Attack can not be cancelled into the ground anymore, removing the possibility of the QAC technique.
- Volt Tackle deals less damage and knockback.
- It lasts slightly longer.
It appears to be slower, though it is more controlled.
- Thunder has shorter vertical range, and is generally harder to hit with.
- It can now meteor smash opponents who touch the upper part of the bolt near the cloud, quickly sending the opponent back down to Pikachu and allowing a tech-chase or followups. However, this makes successful Thunderspikes harder to land.
The following moves are visually unchanged:
- Neutral attack
- Up tilt
- Forward tilt
- Dash attack
- Up smash
- Forward aerial
- Down aerial
- Thunder Jolt
- Down taunt
- Side taunt
- Up taunt
- Pikachu retains the ability to crawl.
Special Moves
