Pichu (ピチュー, Pichū) is a character from the Pokémon series, and is the younger (pre-evolved) form of main series mascot Pikachu.

Creature description

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.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

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

Pichu has three collectable trophies, like the other 25 characters in Melee, its original trophy, the Smash Red trophy, and the Smash Blue trophy.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Pichu, along with Young Link, Roy, Dr. Mario and Mewtwo, does not return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, one of Pikachu's outfits feature blue goggles very similar to the ones Pichu wore in Melee. Also, Pichu appears as a collectible trophy. Pikachu inherits Pichu's wall jump. It could be that the Pichu in Melee is the Pikachu in Brawl.
