Also here's a matchup description for Pikachu from the sticky, unfortunately Sheik is one of Pika's abolute worst matchups.
"Sheik: She'll chain throw you. And then ftilt/dtilt you. And then fair you. And then you're on your next stock. Use the stage to escape being chainthrown if you can (Di to uneven surfaces on some stages, DI and walltech off walls on others, DI to platforms on FoD), or DI off the edge (and try to avoid the fair). If you get a chance to do something, dsmash then follow with aerials, hit-and-run with nairs, and bthrow->uair spike if possible. Pika actually has some decent aerial comboing ablility on sheik, he just has difficulty getting in to start the combo and not get punished for it. Watch out for her needle approaches. If you get caught in your sheild, you'll get grabbed, and that's very bad. Draw her into the air if you can, and then stay below her as she doesn't have that much to do against you from that position except ff'd aerials, most of which are outprioritized by uair if you're below her. She's a bit annoying to edge-guard, but it's definately doable. And if you do get a couple aerials on her while she's off the stage, it's usually enough to kill her. Just watch out for her fairing while she's recovering to prevent this. When she's ledgehogging you, try to upB to a platform if at all possible. She'll usually ledgehop bairs when you return, so going for the stage usually isn't that safe. It's not incredibly unbalanced once you get past the chaingrab. But, ftilt->fair is just ********."

Edgeguard her to hell. Grab ledge so she can't sweetspot, Roll back onto the stage with the stick, fsmash/bthrow/usmash her.

You better do what Anther says he's usually right about these things. Sheik's recovery is crap, so it's best to sweetspot the edges with a fsmash or edgehog. Or you can back throw her off the stage to Uair tail spike her if your good enough.

Also... I hate edgeguarding her with the Fsmash. And by hate I mean I do it every opportunity I get and eat a ledgehopped Fair...

Yes that's a *****.
Also, ban FD seriously ban it.
shfflnair through her into dsmashes a lot, if she does get hit by the nair, you can also follow up with a grab or rising uair to dair, or another nair of your choice.
Shiek is annoying to fight against, so try to avoid getting chain grabbed, and watch out for tilts, since they lead into a combo that can kill Pika right away, or a fair.
