I think stadium can be as good or better than fountain of dreams as a counter-pick, Because of low ceiling for earlier kills, and transformations.
In TBH5 set with axe vs shroomed he ran FoD twice, and I thought stadium might be good for pikachu.
FoD has a high ceiling. Stadium has a low ceiling.
Pikachu literally has the strongest upsmash in the game, better than foxes, and you can follow it up with thunder. Foxes typically counterpick to stadium, and i've even seen top level sheiks counter-pick to fountain, so especially in the sheik matchup it seems like it could only work more-so in pikachus favour going to stadium.
