=== Special attacks ===
Special move 	Name 	Description 	Damage
Standard special	Thunder Jolt 	Shoots a ball of electricity. A very useful projectile, as it deals good damage and moves quickly, helping Pikachu to control the neutral game.

Side special 	Skull Bash 	Charges up before launching forward at a high velocity. It can be charged to increased damage, knockback, and distance. Useful for horizontal recovery and can sweetspot the ledge, but leaves Pikachu vulnerable due to being fairly slow. If inputted like a smash attack, it immediately starts with some charge. 	6.2% (uncharged), 10% (uncharged smash input), 21.4% (fully charged)
Up special 	Quick Attack 	Zips upward at high speeds, dealing damage to opponents on contact. It can be angled; if angled in a different direction after the first time it is used, Pikachu will use it again. It covers great distances and can be unpredictable if used well, but Pikachu goes into freefall after using it. 	2% (hit 1), 3% (hit 2)
Down special 	Thunder 	Calls down a bolt of lightning from the sky. If the bolt strikes Pikachu, it will create an electric explosion around itself, dealing massive knockback. If an opponent is struck near the top of the bolt or at the cloud, they're launched down into Pikachu and will get hit by the discharge as well; otherwise, they're launched upwards.	0%
Final Smash 	10,000,000 Catastropikas	Surrounds itself with electricity before dashing forwards. If it connects, Pikachu will barrage the opponents caught with repeated strikes in a rainbow-colored sphere form before launching them. 	0.3% (6 hits during startup), 1% (initial hit), 1.5% (loop), 30% (launch)
