==Special Moves==

===Thunder Jolt===

{{main|Smashwiki:Thunder Jolt}}

'''Thunder Jolt''' is one of Pikachu's moves used in all the games in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. [[Pichu]] can also use this attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. To execute this move, the player must simply press the B Button. A blast of electricity will come out from Pikachu's cheeks. It will then start passing by the field, until it finally loses all power, or hits someone. If Pikachu is standing on a platform when using this attack, it will move underneath the platform, rather than falling. When in the air, doing this attack would create a ball of lightning. This ball of lighting is less accurate, but definitely more powerful. When [[Kirby]] copies Pikachu's powers, he will be able to use Thunder Jolt.

===Skull Bash===

{{main|Smashwiki:Skull Bash}}

'''Skull Bash''' is a move that both Pikachu and [[Pichu]] know in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is executed by pressing Side + B. Once done, Pikachu will pull its head back, and then push forward into the opponent with a headbutt. The player could hold down on the B button to charge the attack. This will make the attack stronger, and will make it more accurate. Sometimes, Pikachu will even be able to fly completely across some stages, like [[Pokémon Stadium]] or [[Green Greens]]. If the player charges the attack to its limit, then Pikachu will use the attack automatically. Pikachu's Skull Bash can charge faster, but its attack and range are slightly shorter than Pichu's.

===Quick Attack===

{{main|Smashwiki:Quick Attack}}

''' Quick Attack''' is one of Pikachu's moves in all three ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' games. It is based on [[bulbapedia:Quick Attack|Quick Attack]], a move from the Pokémon games, in which Pikachu can learn it. To perform the move, one must press Up + B. This will cause Pikachu to rocket into the sky, at light speed. If the Control Stick is tilted to the side, Pikachu will do another jump, except to the side. This acts as Pikachu's third and fourth jumps, but it is very difficult to master. It will deal 2% damage to anybody who touches Pikachu while in the air. The move is the same in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

===Thunder===

{{main|Smashwiki:Thunder}}

'''Thunder''' is a move used by both Pikachu and [[Pichu]] in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' games, and returns as one of Pikachu's attacks in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. To perform it, one must press Down + B, which will cause a powerful thunder bolt to drop down onto the screen, in a vertical line from directly above the user. It will fall onto Pikachu, and will hurt any player that touches the lightning, or within close range. It doesn't cause damage to Pikachu. However, if Pikachu is jumping when the attack strikes, it will not hit underneath them. It is Pikachu's strongest move, in both ''Super Smash Bros.'' and the ''Pokémon'' series, from which [[bulbapedia:Thunder (move)|the move is taken]]. It is also one of the few moves used in a cutscene.
