In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a Trophy
Pichu makes a cameo appearance in Brawl as a collectible trophy. It is obtained by completing All Star mode without using a continue. Pichu and Mewtwo were the only two non-returning Melee characters to have trophies in Brawl, and neither trophy description makes any reference to their appearances in Melee in much the same way that none of the main character trophies in Melee and Brawl make any reference to their appearances in any Smash games. This suggests that Pichu and Mewtwo were both considered for Brawl, and that by the time it was decided to cut them out, their trophies had already been designed.
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon. Because its electric cheek pouches are still small, it cannot store electricity yet. Pichu has been known to flaunt its courage by touching tails with others and setting off sparks. It is easier for Pichu to build up electricity when the humidity is lower. Pichu will evolve into Pikachu.
