Making its debut in the Ruby and Saphire series and sticking with Pikachu through the rest of his run on the anime, Iron Tail adds an interesting physical strength to Pikachu’s more hit and run move set.

This doesn’t have to be a new special and Moreso a face-lift given to Pikachu’s already existing tail attacks, just add a glowing effect on the tail during the animation and boom, iron tail!

Speaking of minor changes, I mentioned earlier that the electrical effects in Smash Pikachu’s version of quick attack could be seen as a prelude to the move Zippy Zap introduced in Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee. Why not just go the extra mile and change the name to that?

If Zippy Zap is too silly of a name, then maybe the up special could be renamed to Spark which is another electrically charged tackle.
