How to Unlock Pichu in Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Unlike previous Smash games, fighters are unlocked in the same way for all, rather than character-specific challenges. This means that while it can be a bit of a grind, all you need to do is play the game naturally and you’ll eventually unlock all of the characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We’ve listed the three ways you can unlock characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate below:
- Playing the World of Light single-player mode.
- Completing Classic Mode with a character.
- Playing the ‘Challenger Approaches’ fights that appear regularly, you will need to win them.
The fastest method involves triggering the Challenger Fights by reloading the game regularly. We’ve listed the method below:
- Quit to the home screen and Restart the game.
- Create a match with a custom rule set.
- Make sure the match is 1 minute long, or 1 stock if you’d prefer.
- After finishing the match (you can win or lose) you will offered a new Challenger Fight.
- You’ll need to win the Challenger fight
- Repeat.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate Pichu Alternate Costumes
Pichu comes packed with all of the alternate costumes it sported in Melee, but with a new addition as well. We’ve shown the new look below, which features Pichu wearing a Focus Band on its head. The new costume was shown off during the latest Nintendo Direct while the new Spirits system was outlined. Another alternate costume is a special hat inspired by Team Skull boss Guzma.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Pichu Final Smash
As mentioned previously, Pichu has a new Final Smash this time around. It’s called Volt Tackle, and sees Pichu darting around the screen flinging balls of electricity around. It’s very similar to Pikachu’s, launching enemies into the air with a blast of energy at the end. It looks set to be a very powerful move indeed, and Pichu fans will no doubt be excited to finally have a Final Smash to play around with.
