The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
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. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Pikachu (ピカチュウ, Pikachu) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Aesthetics
Pikachu has received two new alternate costumes: one that has it wear Moon's hat from her official Pokémon Sun and Moon artwork, and the other based on Pikachu Libre. Both costumes are female versions of itself, and adequately change its tail to be heart-shaped, akin to female Pikachu in the main Pokémon games from Generation IV onwards.
Ground attacks
Forward tilt has an electric effect.
Aerial attacks
Pikachu has a new neutral aerial: it releases an electric surge around itself in an all fours stance with its tail pointing upward, which hits multiple times, much like Mewtwo's neutral aerial.
Pikachu's down aerial can meteor smash opponents.[1]
Special moves
The electricity discharged when the lightning from Thunder strikes Pikachu is yellow rather than blue, and has Pikachu flash with a dark tint.
Pikachu's Final Smash now involves it dashing quickly around the stage at different angles while surrounded in a ball of electricity (the latter trait akin to Volt Tackle), then launching opponents with an electric blast at the end of the move as the ball disappears. It is currently unknown if this is still Volt Tackle, or a new Final Smash.
Trivia
- Pikachu is the first Pokémon representative to display both male and female variants of itself throughout its costumes.
