Just follow the grime...
go on youtube, look up

SSBB Anther (Pika) Vs

And watch anther play. He is the best one to learn from. Although there are many things about pika you need to learn that are hard to glean just by watching, like QuACing (Quick Attack Canceling). Look in the stickied pika guide.

I recommend reading through it once, then go through it slowly and when you get to something you can't do/need to work on/need help with, try it out for a while, then let us know if you are having problems, and what exactly your problems are.

My main advice would be to use fast falling Fairs into D/U smashes and make sure to utilize Nair. Make sure you learn who pika can chain grab and how to chaingrab both using forward throw and down throw (learn down first, it is easier and often better). Use running Usmashes as well. Also, hop when using jolts, full hop, not short hop, then jolt at the top of the jump. Practice thundering off the edge of the stage as well. Just my $0.02

Oh ya! I almost forgot,

WELCOME TO THE PIKA COMMUNITY!

Make sure to post any and all questions you have here, people are more than willing to help out. Also, don't be afraid to challenge other pikas to a wifi match, you learn a lot by playing against good pika players.
