===Special move===
*{{OBP|Pikachu|Super Smash Bros.}} uses Skull Bash as its side B attack in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Skull Bash can be charged up to inflict more damage and knockback.
====[[Generation VII]]====
*{{OBP|Pichu|Super Smash Bros.}} uses Skull Bash as its side B attack in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. It is similar to Pikachu's, but when Pichu uses it, it damages itself a little.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Skull Bash causes the user to gain the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Skull Bash}} status condition on the first turn and boosts the user's Defense (this boost only lasts in the charging phase prior to {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}). The user unleashes the move on the next turn. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation.
 
Being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked. Skull Bash cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{SSB|Pikachu}} uses {{sbw|Skull Bash}} as its side special from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onwards. Skull Bash can be charged up to inflict more damage and knockback, as well as launching Pikachu further sideways, making it usable for recovering.
 
{{SSB|Pichu}} uses Skull Bash as its side special. It is similar to Pikachu's, but can be charged longer and can deal even more damage and knockback, though hurts Pichu a little upon release. Pichu [[Game move errors|cannot legitimately learn]] Skull Bash in the main games, however.
