Pichu
OVERVIEW: Playful and mischievous, Pichu is the pre-evolution of Pikachu and was initially added to smash as a joke character back in melee. But that was the past, now Pichu is a very valuable and reliable character to play. Being so young, Pichu doesn’t know how to properly handle his electricity, and tends to shock himself causing recoil damage. Pichu is fast and light (the lightest in the game) so he is able to do quick attacks and get out of danger.
