Overview

Swipes its tail over its head in a quick arc. Slightly faster contact against an opponent behind Pikachu, but a good combo starter from any position. An opponent at 0% can be reliably juggled using this move multiple times in a row. Once their vertical knockback is greater than this move's reach, up aerial serves as an effective follow-up, from which a back or up aerial is recommended depending on opponent damage and weight.
