 After a two-installment absence, Pichu returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. This marks its first playable appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series in 17 years, a distinction shared with fellow ''Melee'' newcomer [[Young Link]]. In addition, {{s|bulbapedia|Spiky-eared Pichu}} appears in this game as a playable character via Pichu's alternate costumes. ''Ultimate'' also marks her first appearance in any form of official media (video games or otherwise) in nearly a decade. Oddly enough, unlike [[bulbapedia:Cosplay Pikachu|Pikachu Libre]], Spiky-eared Pichu does not have an obtainable Fighter Spirit.
-Pichu still functions as a lighter, polarized [[clone]] of Pikachu, yet it has nevertheless been somewhat decloned (though not to the same extent as previous clones due to it not receiving as many entirely original moves), thanks to several of its moves having received modified animations, functionality changes and/or frame data adjustments, as well as Pikachu gaining a new neutral aerial. It has also been greatly buffed, due its previous status as a "joke character", and is considered by many to be a viable character even after its nerfs in 3.1.0. Despite the term "Echo Fighter" being used in ''Ultimate'' to denote clones, Pichu is not labeled as such, and no official reason has been given for this oddity. However, it is worth noting that any clone characters introduced before ''SSB4'' are not labeled as Echo Fighters.
