Pikachu



Pikachu is a character from the Pokémon series of video games. He is considered to be the mascot of the Pokemon series as he is the most well-known and recognized of all Pokémon.

He has also appeared in all three Super Smash Bros. games to date as a playable fighter. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he plays a part in The Subspace Emissary, where Zero Suit Samus encounters him in a tank, being drained of electricity. She frees him and in return, he helps her regain her Power Suit.

Later on, they encounter Ridley who brutally smashes Samus against the wall, until Pikachu uses Thunder on him. After they defeat him, they eventually encounter Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon, Olimar, Diddy Kong and the Ancient Minister, who turns out to be a R.O.B. Knowing that the Isle of the Ancients is impossible to save from Subspace, all seven escape the isle in Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon, though they are attacked by Meta Ridley on the way.

After they team up with the rest of the characters, and Olimar's Hoctate Ship, Fox's Arwing, Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon and Samus' gunship can be seen flying into the portal to Subspace. They encounter Tabuu, who turns them all into trophies with a shockwave.

However, King Dedede, Ness and Luigi, the latter two given timed badges to revive them, collect each trophy. After the characters explore the Great Maze, Tabuu once again attempts to turn them into trophies, but Sonic destroys his wings, stopping him. After Tabuu is defeated in a final battle, Subspace is destroyed. Pikachu and the rest of the characters can then be seen overlooking a cliff, with a star in the sky to mark the Isle of the Ancients' former location.

Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophies
Pikachu (Classic) - "It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve."

Pikachu (Adventure) - "While its electrical attacks, such as Thunder and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional Quick Attack, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up Skull Bash."

B: Thunder Jolt

Smash B: Skull Bash

Pikachu (All-Star) - "The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder."

Up & B: Quick Attack

Down & B: Thunder

Trophies
Pikachu - "A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's sleeping. It evolves into Raichu."

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. Be careful it doesn't happen to you."
