Pichu is a playable veteran character in Super Smash Flash 2 revealed at Day 3 of Super Smash Con 2017. Pichu's sprites are completely custom-made and are based on its appearance in Super Smash Bros.

Pichu's main gimmick is that for every electrical attack it uses, it damages itself. Combined with it being lighter than the already-light, it is very easy to KO.
