Character Sheet: The Pikachu Line

PIKACHU/RAICHU


Next up, we have what's probably a pretty lesser known Pokemon line. You know, nobody really thinks about them that much. I think they've been largely forgotten to time. Lol. It's Pikachu and Raichu, the electric mice that won over everyone's hearts to the point that Pikachu's adorable little face is basically synonymous with the franchise as a whole. They do get a new baby form in Pichu in Gen II, and an Alolan variant of Raichu in Gen VII, but we'll cover them later.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Thunder Shock > Thunder Bolt


Side B: Iron Tail > Thunder Punch

I know Pikachu has Skull Bash in Smash, but I've always felt like Iron Tail was an iconic move for him, but maybe that's just an anime thing.


Up B: Quick Attack (or the Balloons he seems to use a lot)


Down B: Thunder


Final Smash: Volt Tackle OR Gigantamax Pikachu (for Pikachu only)


Entrance: Poke Ball.


Taunts: Pikachu's wave, Pikachu charging electricity, and Pikachu rolling over for a belly rub. I imagine Raichu would have similar.


Kirby Hat: The top of the head with ears and tail.


Kart: Poke Ball car

Special Move: Thunder


Spirit Battle: With Ash, on Pokemon Stadium.


Victory Screen: Pikachu cheering and waving at the camera.

Losing Screen: Fainted.


Color Swaps: Main, shiny, Ash's hat, maybe Libre or Detective (assuming they don't have their own moveset), so on.


Thanks for reading! Next up, Sandshrew digs down deep!
