'''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.

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.

===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'''
:A Tiny Mouse Pokemon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.


:'''Pichu''' ''(Smash Red)''
[[Category:SSBM characters]]
:Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances. (B: Thunder Jolt, Smash B: Skull Bash)
 
:'''Pichu''' ''(Smash Blue)''
:Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Brox. Melee, and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move. (Up & B: Agility, Down & B: Thunder)
 
==''In Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
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.)
