Pichu is a [[Baby Pokémon|baby]] clone of {{SSB|Pikachu}}. Pichu is slightly faster and smaller than Pikachu, but does slightly less damage in its attacks and is lighter in weight. It also has the ability to wall jump. A great downside to Pichu's playing style is that Pichu receives a small amount of damage for each {{t|Electric}} move it uses (a reference to Pichu in the {{pkmn|anime}}), which adds up very quickly if used too much, allowing its opponent to kill it with ease. With the exception of [[Thunder Jolt]] and [[Thunder]], Pichu's attacks are very short-ranged and needs to be in close range to deal damage, which is very dangerous because of it's light weight (in fact, the lightest character in the game) which makes it get sent flying farther when hit than any other character. However, Pichu is also the smallest character in the game and is rather difficult to hit, combined with its great agility and dashing speed. It also has the highest Item Boost in the game, becoming far stronger with any item.

*The wall jump ability used by Pichu in Melee is usable by Pikachu in Brawl. That, along with the fact the blue goggles Pichu wore as an alternate costume in Melee appear for Pikachu in Brawl and that the Pikachu species can only learn Volt Tackle through the Pichu stage, has caused speculation that Pichu evolved into the Pikachu in Brawl.
