So she won't get hit.

So she won't get hit.

yeah but isnt it not a projectile during its spike hitbox, so she cant absorb it then right?

 

[SafCar]

If done right, G. Pulled Thunder can meteor Pika if he's too close. That and

So she won't get hit.

 

[Pikabunz]

If the cloud is directly on Rosalina, it hits through her down b.

 

[Wishes And Sunshine]

Implying that she can absorb the bolt itself?

 

[phili]

Also if pikachu is offstage and uses thunder to recover, rosalina (or ness, lucas, etc.) can absorb the thunder so that it won't hit pikachu, causing him to fall to the bottom of the screen and likely die

 

[Zethoro]

Doubles shenanigans.

 

[Shaymin slicker]

My guess is if she is about to get spiked by thunder she could possibly save herself.

 

[Pikabunz]

It's faster to air dodge.
