* + **Quick Attack:** The user lunges at the target at a speed that makes it almost invisible. This move always goes first.
	+ **Wild Charge:** The user shrouds itself in electricity and smashes into its target. This also damages the user a little.
* **giant form - with a super mushroom, pichu turns giant, and attacks and defense are drastically higher**
* **small size - pichu's small sized, makes it very good at dodges attacks, both melee and ranged**
* **light weight - allows pichu to gain more attacks on the other fighters**
* **final smash - volt tackle *Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself.***
