Pichu (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Pichu appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about it in general, see its article on Bulbapedia.
Pichu is a retired character on Super Smash Stadium. It debuted two-thirds of the way into Season 17, alongside, ironically, a Kanto stage, the Safari Zone. Despite being an unpopular character, it lasted nearly seven years and made 99 appearances.
==In its own universe==
Debuting in Pokémon's second generation, it's the first in a long line of "Baby Pokémon", Pokémon that are generally pre-evolved forms of existing Pokémon (Togepi, Riolu, and Toxel being exceptions to this rule). Unlike later such Pokémon, it does not require either parent to hold an Incense in order for you to obtain (a distinction that made irrelevant). It evolves into the franchise's mascot, Pikachu, if leveled up once its "Friendship" is high enough, and further evolves into Raichu via Thunder Stone.
==Attributes==
A near-exact clone of Pikachu, with one major difference: any move it used that revolved around electricity would hurt itself slightly. In practice, this was slightly over half its moveset. It was also one of the lightest-weight characters in the game (and thus died easily). It also had very poor range.
Among the attacks that did recoil:
*Forward Smash
*FAir
*DAir
*Pummel
*Forward throw
*Down throw
*Neutral, up, and down specials
Needless to say, anyone who used Pichu had to be extra careful, while anyone going against Pichu could probably just breathe on it and kill it.
===Changes===
None.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Character entrances didn't exist while Pichu was active.
Move Name 	Description
Neutral Special:
Thundershock	See Pikachu.
Could not kill.
Side Special:
Iron Tail	See Pikachu, who didn't get this move until Season 36. It was also stronger than Pikachu's Iron Tail for some reason.
Killed at 65%.
Up Special:
Quick Attack	See Pikachu. This version of the move is slightly laggier than Pikachu's, does no damage to anyone hit, and does 4% to Pichu itself if both warps succeed.
Could not kill.
Down Special:
Thunder	Again, see Pikachu. While Pikachu's incarnation of the move hit once and did horizontal knockback at the time, Pichu's version of Thunder hit multiple times and did vertical knockback. Pichu wouldn't suffer recoil if there was a solid platform between it and the lightning bolt.
Killed at 50%.
Final Smash:	Final Smashes didn't exist while Pichu was active.
===Taunt===
Either jumped a few times or squirmed about while saying "Piiiii-chu!"
===Victory===
*Pose: Spun around, then jumped up twice, clicking its feet together both times.
*Theme: Team Pokémon's victory theme.
*"No Contest"/Loss Theme: Team Pokémon's loss theme.
==Costumes==

*Shiny
*Red
