=== Special attacks ===
Special move 	Name 	Description 	Damage
Standard special	Thunder Wave	Discharges a bolt of electricity that can paralyze grounded opponents. Move duration lasts roughly 1.3 seconds airborne, and shortens on ground. Compared to Pikachu's, the bolt is much bigger and stronger despite traveling less distance. 	4%/2% (ball), 3%/1% (wave clean), 2% (wave late), 0.7% recoil
Side special 	Double-Edge 	Charges up before launching forward at a high velocity. It can be charged to increased damage, knockback, and distance. Compared to Pikachu's Skull Bash, Pichu's Double-Edge deals more damage and covers more distance when fully charged, but deals less damage when uncharged, takes longer to fully charge, causes recoil damage and has more endlag. 	4% (uncharged), 7.8% (uncharged smash input), 33% (fully charged), 2.8% recoil
Up special 	Agility 	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, Pichu will use it again. Compared to Pikachu's Quick Attack, Agility travels farther. However, it deals no damage and Pichu suffers recoil damage. 	0%, 0.9% recoil (warp 1), 1.4% recoil (warp 2)
Down special 	Discharge 	Calls down a bolt of lightning from the sky. If the bolt strikes Pichu, 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 Pichu and will get hit by the discharge as well; otherwise, they're launched upwards. Compared to Pikachu's Thunder, Pichu's Discharge has less startup and larger explosion but deals less damage and knockback overall and causes recoil damage.	14% (shockwave), 4% (thunderbolt), 6% (thunderbolt meteor), 3.5% recoil
Final Smash 	Volt Tackle 	Surrounds itself with electricity before dashing forwards. If it connects, Pachu will barrage the opponents caught with repeated strikes in a yellow sphere form before launching them. It causes a large amount of recoil damage and is overall weaker than Pikachu's version. 	0.3% (6 hits during startup), 1% (initial hit), 1.6% (loop), 21% (launch), 4.2% recoil (startup), 0.4% recoil (loop), 4.5% recoil (launch)
