Pac-Man vs Palutena

In the matchup against Palutena, Pac-Man can capitalize on his unique zoning tools to keep her at bay. Use your Hydrant to control space and force her to approach, while also utilizing your fruit to pressure her from a distance. When you get in close, aim for grabs to set up for your powerful aerials, particularly forward aerials, which can lead to significant damage. Be mindful of Palutena's explosive flame and aerial dominance; staying unpredictable with your movement will help you avoid her setups while you look for openings to break through her defenses.
