Pichu
B TierPichu excels as a fast, aggressive fighter capable of racking up damage quickly, making use of its speedy aerial game and potent combos. Utilize moves like Neutral Air, which attacks on all sides without damaging Pichu, to string together hits and keep pressure on opponents. While Pichu's attacks generally deal more damage than Pikachu's, be mindful of its fragility; the character is the lightest in the game and can be easily launched. Avoid prolonged engagements with heavy hitters and focus on creating openings with dash attack cancel grabs and edge-guarding opportunities, leveraging your Up Special, Agility, to recover safely and maintain offensive momentum.
