'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the signature {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of the [[Pokémon anime]], and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} obtained on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], given to him by {{an|Professor Oak}}.

==History==
{{cleanup|section}}
===[[Original series]]===
====Kanto====
[[File:Ash Pikachu EP001.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu's debut appearance]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, {{an|Professor Oak}} gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well, and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to [[Viridian City]] in order to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had been badly injured during the fight.

[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|220px|Pikachu and Ash meeting for the first time]]
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time.

Pikachu participated in Ash's first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again, who was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric-type attacks dealt quite some damage. However, despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu. As Ash was about to forfeit again, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} managed to turn on the Gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and he decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]
Pikachu's next major battle was in Ash's [[Vermilion Gym]] battle against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. [[Lt. Surge]] laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu started off using {{m|Thunder Shock}} which seemed to do nothing to Raichu. Raichu then used its own Thunder Shock, which was much more powerful than Pikachu's attack, and dealt much more damage. Following advice from Brock, Ash tried recalling Pikachu in order to forfeit. However, Pikachu was determined to defeat Raichu, and therefore, kept fighting. While trying to attack, Pikachu got overwhelmed by Raichu's {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} and was finally defeated by a powerful Thunderbolt. Due to all the damage he had taken during the battle, Pikachu had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with a [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms.

Later, Ash challenged Lt. Surge to a rematch, where Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Trying to get close, Pikachu got hammered to the ground by Raichu's tail, followed up by repeating hits from its tail. Raichu then hit him hard with {{m|Body Slam}}. As Raichu was about to finish him off with another Body Slam, Pikachu managed to get up and dodge it. Ash soon found out from Brock that since Raichu was evolved so early, it did not learn any of the moves that it could only learn as a Pikachu, such as {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Through his use of these moves, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand and dodge Raichu's attacks. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack that Lt. Surge was sure could defeat Pikachu. Pikachu, however, used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock. Raichu tried using Thunderbolt again but due to its previous attack it had run out of electricity. It then tried to hit Pikachu with a {{m|Take Down}}, but was outsped by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu then used his tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder}}.

In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle against [[Sabrina's Abra]] during Ash's [[Saffron Gym]] battle. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Abra then suddenly evolved into Kadabra, making it much stronger. Pikachu tried filling the battlefield with lightning to prevent Kadabra from using Teleport, but Kadabra countered with {{m|Confusion}} to send the attack back to Pikachu. Kadabra then used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and started to repeatedly smash him into the ceiling and back down. Unwilling to see his friend suffer even more, Ash forfeited the match.
In Ash's rematch with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu selflessly fought Kadabra, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Pikachu used Thunder Shock, which Kadabra avoided using Teleport. After taking a hit from Kadabra's {{m|Psybeam}}, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt which dealt major damage to Kadabra. Kadabra, however, quickly used {{m|Recover}}, negating the damage it had taken. At that moment, Haunter appeared, and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh. As both Sabrina and Kadabra were unable to continue the battle, Ash was declared the winner by [[Sabrina's father]] which earned him the {{badge|Marsh}}.

In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Pikachu entered the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] with {{AP|Squirtle}}. The two were at a significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs, and Pikachu's comparative weight, but in a way, this helped as they managed to escape an {{p|Electrode}} self-destructing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, {{an|Misty}} and [[Dario]]. However, intervention from Team Rocket forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu, which was a very rare encounter. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first, but soon began to feel sad, because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. However, Pikachu refused to leave Ash, and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Pikachu was borrowed by Misty, so she could use him in the {{DL|Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest}}, where he was seen defeating a {{p|Fearow}}. In the finals, Pikachu was Misty's first Pokémon used against [[Jessie]]. Pikachu easily managed to defeat Arbok, {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{MTR}} in succession with a single Thunder Shock. Pikachu then faced [[Jessie's Lickitung]]. He tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but was then licked by Lickitung and knocking him out.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his seventh Gym battle at the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Pikachu used his quickness to dodge Rhydon's {{m|Fury Attack}} and then used Thunderbolt, which was ineffective. Despite being immune to Electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]]. Pikachu tried dodging Magmar's {{m|Fire Punch}} the same way he had dodged Rhydon's Fury Attack, but got hit. Pikachu then tried hitting Magmar with an Electric-type attack, but it proved to be ineffective due to Magmar's Air Lens ability, which heated the air surrounding Magmar, making Electric-type attacks ineffective. Magmar then attacked with a series of Fire Punches, driving Pikachu to the edge of the battlefield. Magmar then unleashed its {{m|Fire Blast}}, which managed to push Pikachu further back, and almost caused him to fall off the battlefield in the lava. Seeing that, Ash then decided to forfeit the match.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all the opposing Pokémon at once, causing {{p|Machamp}}, Rhydon and {{p|Kingler}} to run away in fear, and defeating Arbok and Weezing. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Ash got his eighth Gym Badge, the {{badge|Earth}}.

Pikachu made friends with another Pikachu, [[nickname|named]] [[Puka]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]" This particular Pikachu had blue eyes, and was an excellent surfer. Ash and his friends had to save both Pikachu when Team Rocket tried to steal them both using their submarine.

Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu fought against [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}. Pikachu started off using Agility to confuse Arcanine, but this strategy was countered by Arcanine, who melted the ice field using its Fire Blast, causing to whole battlefield to become one big pool of water. Pikachu, however, used this to his advantage by using the water to conduct his electricity and managed to defeat Arcanine with a powerful Thunderbolt.

In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he fought against [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Pikachu tried using Thunder Shock, but Bellsprout dodged and used {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Managing to avoid Razor Leaf, Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was ineffective since Bellsprout used its roots to conduct the electricity to the ground. Pikachu then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Bellsprout, but despite trying his best, he was easily defeated by the skilled Pokémon's {{m|Slam}}.

Pikachu later faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to participate in the battle. Pikachu started off with {{m|Double-Edge}}, knocking Happy to the ground. As Happy tried flying up, he held on to it, and defeated the Butterfly Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. He then faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Zippo's {{m|Flamethrower}} and was knocked out by its {{m|Tackle}}.

In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with some of his other Pokémon, to the [[Orange Archipelago]] with him.

====Orange Archipelago====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] used a {{p|Drowzee}} to take over the minds of many Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]], including Pikachu. In order to rescue the Pokémon, Ash taunted Pikachu into using Thunderbolt on him, which also hit the machine that Drowzee was wired to, freeing all of the Pokémon from its control.

In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Ash called Pikachu to help mold a block of ice into a sled, as part of his competition against [[Danny]]. He later rode in the sled along with his Bulbasaur and Squirtle in a race against Danny and his team. In the end, Ash managed to win the coveted {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against [[Lorelei]]{{tt|*|Referred to as Prima in the dub}} of the [[Elite Four]], where he faced her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Cloyster used {{m|Withdraw}} to protect itself from the attack. Pikachu then used Agility, but got pushed back by Cloyster's {{m|Reflect}}. He then managed to hit Cloyster with a super-effective {{m|Thunder}}, but Cloyster was still standing. After using {{m|Rage}} to increase its {{stat|Attack}}, Cloyster stopped Pikachu's Quick Attack with {{m|Aurora Beam}}, and knocked him out with Take Down.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Pikachu participated in the first part of Ash's battle with [[Rudy]], using his Thunderbolt to blast targets. He then faced off against Rudy's {{p|Electabuzz}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Electabuzz absorbed the attack. He and Electabuzz then both used Quick Attack, but Electabuzz was able to overpower him. Pikachu then got defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}.

[[File:PikaMeowthOffer.png|thumb|230px|right|Pikachu offering {{MTR}} an apple]]
In [[EP104|the following episode]], Team Rocket had a plan to capture Pikachu that involved tying him up with Meowth. This succeeded at first, but Meowth and Pikachu got separated from Jessie and [[James]]. Being lost on the island, the two Pokémon had to work together to defeat powerful Pokémon, and get to safety. In the end, Ash, Misty and {{Tracey}} managed to find the duo first, and separated them from each other.

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where he had to fight alongside {{AP|Charizard}}. Despite both Pokémon being eager to battle, they started getting angry at each other, right before the battle affecting their teamwork negatively. Charizard tried hitting {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} with Flamethrower, while Pikachu dashed forward. Alakazam and Marowak managed to dodge the Flamethrower, causing it to hit Pikachu. As Charizard went for Tackle, Alakazam stopped him using Psychic. Seeing how Charizard got continuously attacked by Alakazam and Marowak, Pikachu decided to help his partner and attacked Alakazam, freeing Charizard from Psychic's grasp. Pikachu then got hit by Marowak's Body Slam, but got caught by Charizard's wing. Now finally being able to work together, Pikachu jumped on Charizard's back and used Thunderbolt to stop Marowak after dodging its {{m|Bonemerang}}. As Alakazam was about to unleash its {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Charizard, it got hit by Marowak's Bonemerang, causing Hyper Beam to be launched at Marowak, knocking both Pokémon out. This gave Ash the victory, winning him the {{badge|Jade Star}} and allowing him to enter the [[Orange League]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, where he faced off against Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Despite Ditto being able to copy Pikachu's attacks, it wasn't in good shape as Pikachu was. After continuously exchanging attacks, Pikachu managed to defeat it. Pikachu was then recalled when Drake sent out his {{p|Onix}}. [[EP112|Later]], Pikachu faced off against Drake's powerful {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, who had already defeated three of Ash's Pokémon. Pikachu headed towards Dragonite using Agility, but got knocked back by Dragonite's tail. Dragonite then attacked with Hyper Beam, but Pikachu managed to jump on Dragonite's head by using his tail as a spring board to dodge the attack, and finally defeat it with a powerful Thunder, earning Ash the [[Winner's Trophy]] and a spot in the [[Orange League Hall of Fame]].

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Gary's Eevee]]. Pikachu started off with Quick Attack, but Eevee used Reflect to block the attack. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Eevee dodged the attack using {{m|Double Team}}. Eevee then switched to offense and dashed forward using Take Down. Pikachu, however, dodged this using Agility, and prepared to use Thunder. Before he was able to launch his attack, however, Eevee managed to hit him with a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}, knocking him out. Later in the episode, Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to [[Johto]] with him.

====Johto====
In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle against {{an|Casey}}, where he faced her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}}. Despite Casey having only recently obtained {{p|Chikorita}}, it quickly gained the upper hand. Chikorita first used its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to tranquilize Pikachu, and followed up with a Tackle. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was then deflected by Chikorita's leaf, and afterwards was hit by Tackle again. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal their Pokémon. Their plan failed however, when Pikachu and Chikorita were reunited with their Trainers, and teamed up to defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's [[Violet Gym]] battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Hoothoot}}. Pikachu used Agility to avoid getting hit by Hoothoot's Tackle. Hoothoot tried flying up to get out Pikachu's range, but Pikachu was still able to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt, and then finished Hoothoot off with a Quick Attack. He then faced Falkner's {{p|Dodrio}}. Both Pokémon started off using Agility, matching each other's speed. Pikachu then went for Thunderbolt, but Dodrio used its great jumping ability to dodge the attack. It then hit Pikachu hard with Fury Attack, followed up by {{m|Drill Peck}}. When Dodrio was about to finish him off with {{m|Tri Attack}}, Pikachu jumped high in the air, and unleashed a super-effective Thunder, defeating Dodrio. Pikachu then briefly faced Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, but as he was already tired from his previous matches, he was quickly defeated by a {{m|Whirlwind}}.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Tackle. Although Pikachu dodged it, it created a dust cloud and used the leaves of a nearby tree to make it unable to spot. Pikachu, however, managed to spot Metapod by using his hearing, and after dodging a series of Tackles with Agility, Pikachu managed to jump on Metapod's back and defeat it with Thunderbolt. He then went up against Bugsy's last, and most powerful Pokémon, {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}. Despite Pikachu having the [[Type|type-advantage]], his Thunderbolt attacks constantly missed, because of {{p|Scyther}} using Double Team. The real Scyther appeared behind Pikachu, and hit him with {{m|Fury Cutter}}. With each Fury Cutter doubling in power, Pikachu was knocked out.

In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Pikachu was used to battle Misty for the ownership of {{AP|Totodile}}. He went up against {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Pikachu, however, did not want to hurt his friend, therefore forfeited the match by running away.

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Pikachu faced off against [[Whitney]]'s powerful {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}, who had already easily defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] and Totodile using {{m|Rollout}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Miltank since she got wet by Totodile's {{m|Water Gun}}. However, due to Miltank spinning at great speed, she had already dried up, making Thunderbolt useless. Pikachu then tried attacking with Agility, but he got overpowered by Miltank's Rollout, and was then defeated by another one, causing Ash to lose the battle.

In [[EP159|the following episode]], Pikachu battled Miltank again in Ash's rematch against Whitney. First Ash had Cyndaquil tire out Miltank, and then had Totodile create ditches in the ground to slow her down. Thanks to this strategy, Miltank lost her balance, giving Pikachu the opportunity to throw Miltank in the air by hiding in one of the ditches, and then finish her off with a Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Plain}}.

In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Pikachu and Ash entered the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. The two encountered a {{p|Weedle}}, but before Pikachu could attack it, Casey's Chikorita intervened, and Casey caught the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Later, Ash and Pikachu chased after a Scyther, but accidentally disturbed a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} in the process. Pikachu managed to shock one of the Beedrill with Thunderbolt, giving Ash the chance to catch it. With this capture, Ash managed to win the contest, winning him a [[Sun Stone]].

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his Pokémon to assist him in the [[Seaking Catching Day]]. After Ash managed to reel in a {{p|Seaking}}, Pikachu weakened it with Thunderbolt so Ash could catch it.

Pikachu befriended a bunch of {{p|Pichu}} in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]''. At first they framed Pikachu into eating apples, while they were the ones who actually ate them. When the Pichu were attacked by a Fearow, Pikachu sent a Thunderbolt warning shot to Fearow, which scared him off. Later Pikachu's electricity was sucked away by Team Rocket, and got kidnapped. The Pichu eventually managed to restore Pikachu's electricity, and together they blasted Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Morty]], where he faced off against Morty's {{p|Gastly}}. Pikachu managed to hit Gastly with a Quick Attack after Ash had {{AP|Noctowl}} use {{m|Foresight}} earlier in the match. Despite this, Gastly used its great speed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt, and defeated him with a single {{m|Night Shade}}.

In ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Chuck]]. Pikachu battled Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}, and managed to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt. Despite this, Poliwrath was still standing, and after absorbing a Quick Attack with its muscled body, it hit Pikachu with a series of powerful {{m|Double Slap}} attacks, knocking him out.

In ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', Ash sent out Pikachu to battle Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Both Pokémon proved to be equal in speed by constantly dodging each other's attacks. Finally, Ash decided to let Pikachu take a {{m|Thunder Wave}} from Magnemite, so Magnemite could get hit by a Thunderbolt, causing a lot of damage. After dodging another attack from Magnemite, Pikachu finished it off with a Quick Attack, crashing it into a wall. Next, Pikachu faced off against Jasmine's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Due to his previous battle against Magnemite, Pikachu was tired and was quickly defeated by a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}}.

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In the following episode, ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who already had defeated Ash's Cyndaquil. Due to the icy field, Pikachu constantly slipped, which caused his Agility to be ineffective, and almost unable to avoid Piloswine's attacks. Ash then got the idea to use the ice pillars to change Pikachu's direction while sliding on the ice. Using this tactic, Pikachu gained a big amount of speed, and slid under Piloswine, giving him the opportunity to hit Piloswine hard with Thunder. Piloswine then started to use {{m|Rest}} in order to return back to full health. Pikachu tried to finish it off with a Quick Attack, but was too late and got hit hard by a Take Down. Pikachu was still able to battle, and countered Piloswine's next Take Down with a Quick Attack, and hit it with Thunder. This caused the ice under Piloswine to break, which caused Piloswine to fall into the water. Then, Pikachu hit Piloswine with Thunderbolt, which caused massive damage due to Piloswine's wet fur. Despite this, Piloswine was still standing and constantly hit Pikachu with Fury Attack. Seeing no other option to escape, Pikachu used a close-range Thunder causing a massive explosion. Pikachu got knocked down while Piloswine still seemed to be able to battle. Refusing to give up, Pikachu still managed to stand up, and as he was about to attack again, [[Pryce]] threw in the towel resulting into a T.K.O., giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Glacier}}.

In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Clair]], sending him out against her {{p|Kingdra}}. Unaware of Kingdra's {{t|Dragon|secondary type}}, Ash had Pikachu go for Thunderbolt. To Ash's surprise, Kingdra easily took the attack. Pikachu then tried dodging Kingdra's {{m|Twister}}, but as Kingdra was able to control the direction of the attack, Pikachu was caught in the tornado. Pikachu then went for Thunder, but also this Electric-type move left Kingdra unscathed. After a collision between, {{m|Hydro Pump}} and Thunderbolt, Pikachu managed to dodge several blasts of Hydro Pump, before hitting Kingdra with Quick Attack. However, after seeing that [[physical move]]s didn't work either, Ash followed Misty and Brock's advice to recall Pikachu. Their battle was later stopped due to Team Rocket's theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. In [[EP253|the following episode]], Pikachu helped stop the rampage of a {{p|Dragonite}} that belonged to the old [[Blackthorn Gym]] Leader.

In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's last Johto Gym battle against Clair, where he faced her {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite the double type-advantage, Gyarados proved to be quite a match for Pikachu, using its {{m|Dragon Breath}} to block Pikachu's Electric-type attacks. After getting hit by a Hydro Pump, Pikachu got wrapped by Gyarados. This, however, allowed Pikachu to hit Gyarados hard with a Thunderbolt. Gyarados quickly managed to recover the attack, and launched a barrage of {{m|Bite}} attacks, causing Pikachu to get cornered. As Clair was ready to finish the battle with a close-range Hydro Pump, Ash had Pikachu use Agility to get onto Gyarados's Hydro Pump, and defeated the Atrocious Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle Pikachu, who managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knocked him out with a point-blank Hyper Beam.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Pikachu was used by Ash in the Athlete's Round of the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Salvador]] and his {{p|Furret}}. Furret proved to be a tough opponent by repeatedly using {{m|Dig}} to confuse, and attack Pikachu. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab onto Furret's back, and as it dove back into one of its holes, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt, and finally finished the match with a Quick Attack.

Pikachu was used again in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where he faced off against [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}. Azumarill started off using Water Gun, but Pikachu evaded this attack using Quick Attack, and reversed it to hit Azumarill, which it nearly dodged. After a collision of Thunderbolt and {{m|Bubble Beam}}, Pikachu got hit by {{m|Icy Wind}}. Azumarill then hit Pikachu with Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to hold on his tail, and launched a super-effective Thunder, knocking out Azumarill. Next, Pikachu went up against Jackson's [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Magneton}}. After exchanging hits from each other's Thunderbolt, Magneton dodged Pikachu's Quick Attack, and stunned Pikachu with Thunder Wave, before defeating him with Tri Attack.

In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{jo|Harrison}}. Pikachu battled Harrison's {{p|Kecleon}}, which used its {{a|Color Change}} [[Ability]] to hide itself in the tall grass while hitting Pikachu with its tongue. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab Kecleon's tongue, and defeated it with Thunderbolt. Harrison then sent out his {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}. Sneasel managed to avoid Pikachu's Thunderbolt using its speed, and defeated him with a single {{m|Metal Claw}}.

After saying farewell to Misty and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash decided to only take Pikachu with him to [[Hoenn]], and left [[Pallet Town]] with him at the end of the episode. In [[EP274|the following episode]], while getting ready to depart for Hoenn by ship, Ash and Pikachu got attacked by Team Rocket, who used an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to it, and drain his electricity. Eventually, thanks to some wild Pokemon, and Officer Jenny, Pikachu was saved. The next day, Ash tried to wake Pikachu up, but soon noticed that he was suffering from a severe illness caused by the electromagnet that Team Rocket used to capture him.

==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Hoenn====
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash was willing to get Pikachu some help regarding taking care of the illness. He met up with [[Professor Birch]], who took Pikachu to his lab. Even though they were able to strap him to the machine to drain out the overload electricity he received, the machine exploded as the electricity levels were too high. Pikachu then ran off, with Ash and Professor Birch chasing after him. Eventually, Ash managed to find Pikachu, but in his confused state, Pikachu attacked him, and fled towards the end of a cliff. As Pikachu fell off the cliff, Ash fearlessly jumped after him, and managed to catch him, and grab a branch. Pikachu tried resisting, but Ash was able to get through, and calm him down. When Ash and Pikachu were pulled up to safety, Team Rocket arrived. Their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] accidentally cured Pikachu of his illness, and he was able to blast them off, destroying {{an|May}}'s bike in the process.

In ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]'', Ash used Pikachu in an unofficial 1-on-1 battle against [[Norman]], since Ash only had one Pokémon at the time instead of the three required. Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}} proved to be a tough opponent, dodging Pikachu's attacks with ease, and hitting him hard with multiple {{m|Scratch}} attacks. Pikachu managed to successfully hit Vigoroth with Quick Attack, but Vigoroth hit him again, and defeated him with one final Scratch. After their match, Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu and Vigoroth, but accidentally stole {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later Pikachu was used alongside Norman's Vigoroth to battle Team Rocket, and blasted them off in addition to rescuing Torchic.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Ash began teaching Pikachu Iron Tail in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle, a {{type|Rock}} Gym, and got help from a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named {{an|Chaz}} and his {{p|Sentret}}. Despite their effort and training, Pikachu was still unable to fully master Iron Tail.

In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Roxanne]], where he was sent out against her {{p|Geodude}}. Pikachu started off using Thunder to flatten the rocky battlefield. Geodude countered with {{m|Rock Throw}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge using Quick Attack, only to end up right in front of Geodude. This gave Geodude the chance to hit him hard with a Mega Punch. As Geodude used Rollout to finish Pikachu off, it got stuck and couldn’t execute its attack because of the flattened battlefield. Pikachu used this opportunity to get close using Quick Attack, and hit Geodude with a powerful Thunder, defeating it.
Pikachu then faced [[Roxanne's Nosepass]]. Pikachu started off using Iron Tail, which managed to successfully hit Nosepass. After dodging Nosepass’s attack, Pikachu went for a second Iron Tail, but failed this time. Nosepass then used {{m|Rock Tomb}} to trap Pikachu, but he managed to break free using Thunder. Nosepass then countered with {{m|Sandstorm}}, deteriorating Pikachu’s sight. However, Nosepass was able to sense Pikachu using its electromagnetic nose, and managed to slam its body into him. Nosepass then tried to stomp on Pikachu, but he managed to avoid it by using Quick Attack. After using Quick Attack again to dodge Nosepass’s Rock Tomb, Pikachu used Quick Attack to run around Nosepass in order to confuse it. He was able to get behind Nosepass, and used Iron Tail, only to fail once again. Nosepass then went for Thunder Wave, which Pikachu barely avoided. Ash then had Pikachu charge towards Nosepass and let him take its {{m|Zap Cannon}}, causing Pikachu to absorb the electricity. Pikachu then tackled Nosepass, releasing the electricity at Nosepass, causing it to become {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}. Pikachu defeated Nosepass with one final Iron Tail, finally mastering the move in the process, as well as earning Ash the {{badge|Stone}}.

In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash and his friends arrived at [[Mauville City]] and immediately proceeded to the [[Mauville Gym]]. Inside the group encountered a robot {{p|Raikou}}. Thinking it would attack, Ash ordered Pikachu to attack the robot with Iron Tail, causing an explosion. This destroyed the robot, but also overcharged Pikachu with electricity, unbeknownst to the rest, however. Later, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his Gym Battle against [[Wattson]]. Pikachu first faced Wattson's Magnemite. Due to being overcharged, Pikachu defeated Magnemite with a single Thunderbolt after dodging a {{m|Swift}} attack. Next, Pikachu battled Wattson's {{p|Voltorb}} and also managed to easily defeat it with another Thunderbolt. Getting agitated, Wattson sent out his Magneton and ordered it to use Zap Cannon. Pikachu easily managed to overpower this attack with Thunder, which also knocked Magneton out, earning Ash the {{badge|Dynamo}}.

In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Lavaridge Gym]] battle. He was sent out against [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}}, after it had {{status|Burn|burned}} {{AP|Treecko}}, and put {{AP|Corphish}} to {{status|Sleep}}. After using Quick Attack to dodge Flamethrower, he finally broke {{p|Magcargo}}'s Reflect that was affecting previous battles. Then, Slugma used {{m|Smog}} to cover itself. Pikachu, however, was able to sense it, and used Iron Tail. Slugma managed to dodge, and hit him with a Flamethrower. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt and although it looked like it initially missed, it electrified the Smog, harming Slugma. Flannery called for {{m|Yawn}}, but Ash unwilling for that to happen, had Pikachu use Quick Attack, hitting it before Yawn could be executed, and then finished Slugma off with Thunder. Ash kept Pikachu in when Flannery used her last Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was blocked by {{m|Iron Defense}}. Then, Pikachu dodged a Flamethrower and used Iron Tail, but it was blocked by Iron Defense as well. Torkoal then used {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which hit Pikachu. Pikachu tried attacking with Thunder, but his attack was blocked by Iron Defense once again. Torkoal then used {{m|Overheat}} to defeat Pikachu.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against Norman. He went up against {{p|Slakoth}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack on Slakoth, which was avoided. After dodging a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Pikachu used Iron Tail, only to be dodged as well, dazing Pikachu. Slakoth then used {{m|Hidden Power}}, which Pikachu tried to destroy the attack with Thunderbolt, but failed and was hit by the circling Hidden Power. Pikachu tried hitting Slakoth with Thunder, but this was dodged as well. Slakoth then countered with {{m|Blizzard}}, disabling Pikachu to move. Being unable to move, Pikachu was recalled. Later, Pikachu was sent out against Norman's Vigoroth. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Vigoroth swiftly dodged the attack, and launched a Scratch attack. However, Pikachu successfully blocked the attack with Iron Tail, but Vigoroth quickly recovered, and launched a Flamethrower, dealing much damage. Pikachu's electricity gave Ash an idea. He got Pikachu to use Quick Attack to dodge Vigoroth's Flamethrower. When Vigoroth launched another Scratch, Ash told Pikachu to stop where he was, and let him get hit. This activated Pikachu's Ability {{a|Static}}, paralyzing Vigoroth. This allowed Pikachu to defeat Vigoroth with Iron Tail. However, all this battling took its toll, as Pikachu fainted as well, ending the battle in a draw.

In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in his [[Fortree Gym]] battle against [[Winona]]. Pikachu battled against Winona's {{p|Pelipper}}, and despite the major type-advantage, Pelipper proved to be a formidable opponent, being able to use {{m|Steel Wing}} as a lightning rod to conduct Pikachu's Electric-type attacks to the ground, thus preventing damage. After Pikachu got hit by a Quick Attack, Ash decided Pikachu should fight at close-range, and told him to use Quick Attack to get closer. However, this gave Pelipper the opportunity to hit Pikachu hard with a Hydro Pump. However, Pikachu stood his ground, and when Pelipper lifted its wing from the ground for a moment, Ash had Pikachu use Thunder on Pelipper. With both Pokémon being hit by powerful attacks, Pikachu and Pelipper both fainted.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their machine. Team Rocket took advantage of this, and tricked Pikachu into joining them. He was then ordered to attack the group. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash fearlessly jumped on their balloon. Team Rocket ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt, causing them to get blasted off and causing Ash and Pikachu to fall down in a river. With Ash protecting Pikachu, Pikachu managed to regain his memory, and got rid of Team Rocket once again.

In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Ash and the group got on a submarine owned by [[Team Magma]], where they met Team Magma's leader, [[Maxie]]. An explosion caused by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre}}, caused the [[Blue Orb]] to fly off Maxie's desk. Pikachu managed to catch the orb before Team Magma could regain it. However, the orb soon started to glow, and melted into Pikachu's body, greatly increasing his power, but also making him lose control over himself. In [[AG098|the next episode]], Pikachu awakened {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon}}, and aided it in its battle with {{p|Kyogre}}. Due to everyone's teamwork, {{p|Groudon}} was able to defeat Kyogre, causing the Blue Orb to emerge from Pikachu's body. Pikachu was then saved from drowning by Kyogre, and later bade it and Groudon farewell.

In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Ash used Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}} in the [[Double Battle]] against [[Tate and Liza]] with their respective {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}. Solrock and Lunatone both started off using Tackle which both scored a direct hit on Pikachu and Swellow. Pikachu and Swellow then tried hitting their opponents with Quick Attack and {{m|Peck}}, but their attack was dodged, causing them to crash into planets hanging from the ceiling, and caused them to fall on top of each as they hit the ground. This gave Solrock and Lunatone the opportunity to launch a {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the attacks were about to hit their marks, the two beams accidentally collided, canceling each other out, causing the twins to quarrel. Ash used this chance to recover, and had Pikachu and Swellow strike the opposing Pokémon with a respective Iron Tail and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Both Meteorite Pokémon then charged towards Pikachu using Tackle, but Swellow was able to save him in time, causing Solrock and Lunatone to crash into each other. The battle then got interrupted by Team Rocket, who destroyed the gym using their machine, and stole Solrock and Lunatone.

After Team Rocket was defeated, they all agreed to resume their battle outdoors. This time, however, the twins managed to put their differences aside and worked together as a team. Ash first had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Solrock, but his attack was sent back by Lunatone's {{m|Light Screen}}, sending Pikachu flying into a wall. As Swellow tried to attack with Aerial Ace, Solrock used Sandstorm, sending Swellow flying as well. Pikachu then jumped on Swellow's back, and used Thunderbolt again, only to be deflected back by Light Screen again, hitting Pikachu and Swellow hard. Swellow then used Double Team, but Solrock and Lunatone countered using Solar Beam and Ice Beam to wipe out the copies. However, to Tate and Liza's surprise, Pikachu and Swellow got away unscathed. Swellow then dove down from the sky along with Pikachu to attack, but Solrock and Lunatone quickly responded, and hit them with Solar Beam and Ice Beam. Ash thought about how to negate the dual attacks, and then had Pikachu use Thunder on the clouds. Lightning then struck Pikachu and Swellow, which the two managed to endure. Once clear, Pikachu and Swellow were coated in a "Thunder Armor". Using this technique, Pikachu and Swellow managed to pierce through Solrock's Solar Beam and Lunatone's Light Screen, and managed to defeat them using Iron Tail and Aerial Ace, earning Ash the {{badge|Mind}}.

In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]]. Pikachu battled against his {{p|Shelgon}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit. As Pikachu went for a second Thunderbolt, Shelgon used Double-Edge and managed to dodge the attack. Due to Shelgon's low {{stat|Speed}}, Pikachu easily dodged the attack with Quick Attack. When Pikachu was about to finish Shelgon off with Iron Tail, Shelgon had Pikachu come close, and then hit him hard with Dragon Breath. Shelgon then followed up with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu, along with his {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle. They went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and Seaking. Pikachu used his Thunderbolt on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it to Snorunt. Pikachu used Thunder, but Seaking once again used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again. However, this time, Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo used Blizzard on the two, dealing much damage to Pikachu. Then, Ash had Snorunt use its Icy Wind to freeze the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar, which blocked Juan's view. Sealeo and Seaking destroyed the pillar with their Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam respectively. This created ice shards, which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on. Snorunt then used {{m|Headbutt}}, while Pikachu used Iron Tail. Seaking and Sealeo responded using Hyper Beam and Aurora Beam. While Pikachu was able to dodge Aurora Beam, Snorunt wasn't able to avoid the Hyper Beam and was knocked out.

Ash then sent out his Corphish. After dodging Corphish's Bubble Beam, both of Juan's Pokémon attacked from below with Sealeo using Aurora Beam on Pikachu's platform, which he was able to dodge. Seaking attacked Corphish with {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Corphish was able to grab its horn. However, Seaking used Horn Drill, sending Corphish flying. Ash then had Pikachu use Iron Tail on Seaking. Despite Sealeo trying to stop Pikachu using Aurora Beam, Pikachu was able to defeat Seaking, as well as avoid the attack in time. Pikachu then rode on Corphish's back, heading towards Sealeo. Sealeo tried stopping them using {{m|Ice Ball}}, which got stronger with each attack. While Pikachu and Corphish managed to destroy the first three Ice Balls, the fourth one managed to hit them both. Sealeo then launched a fifth Ice Ball at them both. Pikachu launched a Thunder at the Ice Ball, and after increasing its power, he was able to break it. While the falling ice shards were hurting Sealeo, Corphish was able to defeat it with its {{m|Crabhammer}}, knocking it out, and ending the first round of the Sootopolis Gym battle in Ash's favor. Both Pokémon were then recalled.

In [[AG111|the next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the Sootopolis Gym battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunder, and although it dealt a lot of damage, Milotic nullified the damage by using Recover. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, in which Milotic's overpowered Pikachu's. Milotic quickly followed up with Twister, which was powered up by the water. Much to Juan's surprise, Pikachu was able to break through with Thunder, and followed up with a powerful Quick Attack. Milotic then used Hydro Pump, which Pikachu dodged, and used a super-effective Thunderbolt. However, Milotic shook the attack off, and used Recover, healing itself once again. Milotic then went underwater, making both Ash and Pikachu unable to see it. Milotic then tried hitting Pikachu with Iron Tail, but he dodged it and climbed onto Milotic's body. Milotic tried stopping him using Hydro Pump, but he dodged the attack. Pikachu then grabbed onto its eyebrows and flipped the Tender Pokémon into the water. While underwater, Pikachu used Thunder, dealing major damage to Milotic, as water was an excellent conductor of electricity. This knocked out Milotic, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Rain}}.

In ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a 1-on-1 battle against his new rival [[Morrison]]. He faced [[Morrison's Beldum]]. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as the only move Beldum knew was Take Down, which he easily dodged before retaliating with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then dodged another Take Down, but this time Beldum reversed, and finally managed to hit Pikachu with its attack. After getting hit by a second Take Down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter another one, causing a big explosion which knocked both Pokémon out.

In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', Ash used Pikachu for the first round in the [[Ever Grande Conference]], he went up against {{OBP|Gilbert|AG126}} and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Hitmonlee used {{m|Rolling Kick}}, but Pikachu managed to avoid the attack, and hit Hitmonlee with Iron Tail. Hitmonlee then went for {{m|High Jump Kick}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge as well using Quick Attack, causing Hitmonlee to crash, and take major damage. As Pikachu charged in for one final attack, Hitmonlee hit him with Mega Kick. While heading towards the ground, Pikachu managed to escape Hitmonlee's kick, and hit him with Iron Tail, knocking it out, and causing Ash to advance to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament, part of the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against Katie's {{p|Golduck}}, and was sent out due to the type advantage he had. However, Katie immediately switched to her {{p|Dugtrio}}, who had a type-advantage of its own. Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Dugtrio used Dig to dodge the attack. Then, Dugtrio used {{m|Sand Tomb}}, creating a huge patch of quicksand. Pikachu tried to escape, but couldn't and got pulled by the sand. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt, which had no effect on Dugtrio since it was a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. Dugtrio used Double-Edge, and Pikachu attempted to block it with Iron Tail, but when both moves collided, Pikachu was knocked out, while Dugtrio emerged unharmed.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his Full Battle against Morrison in the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against his {{p|Steelix}}. Steelix used Dragon Breath, but Pikachu dodged it, and used Quick Attack. Steelix countered with Iron Tail, hitting Pikachu hard. Steelix then used Dig, hitting Pikachu from underneath the ground. Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, but Steelix quickly dodged that with another Dig. Pikachu managed to dodge Dig, and hit Steelix with Quick Attack. Then, both Pokémon used Iron Tail, but Steelix's managed to overpower Pikachu's, knocking him out.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his sixth and last Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}. He went up against Tyson's {{p|Metagross}}, who had already defeated Swellow and Grovyle, but had a crack in its armor as a result. Pikachu used Thunderbolt on the crack, but it didn't do much to Metagross. Metagross then used Psychic on Pikachu, but he was able to dodge it, and hit Metagross with Iron Tail. Pikachu then climbed onto Metagross, and as Metagross was unable to shake him off, Pikachu finally defeated the Iron Leg Pokémon with Thunder. After, Pikachu went up against Tyson's last Pokémon, his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}}.
Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Thunder attacks soon proved to be useless, as Meowth each time defended itself against Pikachu's Electric-type attacks with its Thunderbolt. After realizing this, Ash had Pikachu fight close-range, and ordered him to use Quick Attack. However, Meowth dodged this with Double Team, and followed up with Iron Tail. Pikachu countered with his own Iron Tail, causing the moves to collide. Pikachu and Meowth started attacking unceasing, with each time their attacks colliding. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, with both Pokémon taking the hit, knocking them both down. Though initially both of them got up, Pikachu fainted from exhaustion, causing Ash to end up in the Top 8 of the Ever Grande Conference.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against [[Elite Four]] [[Agatha]], and her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} at the [[Viridian Gym]]. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but failed since Gengar was a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It was too fast for Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but after dodging a Shadow Ball, Pikachu was able to hit Gengar with an Iron Tail. Gengar then countered, and hit Pikachu with Shadow Ball, but Pikachu was able to climb on the Shadow Ball and went for Iron Tail. However, Gengar was able to prevent Pikachu from using Iron Tail with Double Team. Pikachu was able to destroy all the copies with Thunderbolt, as well as hit Gengar with it. Then, he dodged a Shadow Ball, and hit Gengar with Iron Tail. When Pikachu was about to finish Gengar off with Thunder, Gengar used {{m|Hypnosis}}, putting him to sleep. Gengar then proceeded to defeat him with {{m|Dream Eater}}. Afterwards, he helped to defeat Team Rocket along with Agatha's {{p|Golbat}. Later on, Ash decided to enter the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} along with Pikachu, and his other Pokémon. He was later reunited with Misty, when he and Ash returned to Pallet Town.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', while battling Team Rocket's mecha, he used Quick Attack, which morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}}, easily destroying the mecha and blasting Team Rocket off. Despite this, Pikachu couldn't master the move. After lots of {{pkmn|training}}, Pikachu was finally able to master Volt Tackle in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', using the move to blast Team Rocket off, and saving a wild {{p|Celebi}}.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', when going to the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}, Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket using their fake Battle Pike until rescued by {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, and her {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}} from the real Battle Pike. Later, Ash used Pikachu as his second and last Pokémon in his Battle Pike challenge against Lucy and her Milotic. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Lucy had Milotic take the attack, and countered with Hydro Pump. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but Milotic managed to overpower Pikachu. Pikachu's Quick Attack was then countered by Twister, and he was then hit by Hydro Pump. Milotic used Iron Tail, but Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, blocking Iron Tail, and paralyzing Milotic. Then, Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Milotic countered with a {{m|Facade}}, and since Milotic was paralyzed, its power was doubled, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Ash then had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on himself. As Milotic was about to end the match with Twister, Ash had Pikachu, who was boosted by Thunderbolt, jump into the Twister. Inside the Twister, Pikachu began spinning and used Volt Tackle, increasing his power, and proceeded to knock Milotic out, winning Ash the battle and earning him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Luck Symbol]].

In ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', Pikachu was chosen as Ash's partner in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]]. In the end, however, the competition was won by James and his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}.

In ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', Pikachu was the third Pokémon to battle against {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. He went up against her Alakazam, who had already defeated Ash's previous two Pokémon. Pikachu managed to hit Alakazam with Thunderbolt, but Alakazam nullified the damage using Recover. Then, both Pokémon started exchanging Iron Tail and {{m|Focus Punch}} attacks, and then hit each other with Thunderbolt and Psybeam. Ash then ordered Pikachu to use Volt Tackle, but Pikachu ran straight towards the wall due to Psybeam's confusion effect. However, Pikachu managed to snap out of the confusion, after Ash had saved it, and managed to overpower Alakazam's Psybeam with Thunderbolt, defeating it. He went up against Metagross next. Metagross managed to sent Pikachu's Thunderbolt back at him using Psychic, dealing major damage. As Pikachu went for Quick Attack, Metagross used Iron Defense to deflect the attack, and hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Metagross fired a Hyper Beam, which defeated Pikachu, losing Ash the battle.

In [[AG170|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's rematch against Anabel, this time facing her {{p|Espeon}}. Espeon proved to have great speed and power, dodging Pikachu's attacks, and afterwards, immediately hit Pikachu with its own attacks. After getting hit by Espeon's Quick Attack and Iron Tail, Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt. Espeon's Zap Cannon managed to overpower Pikachu's attack, and hit him hard. Pikachu tried Thunderbolt once again, but it was avaoided. Espeon countered with Psychic, smashing Pikachu to the ceiling, causing Pikachu to fall down hard. However, Pikachu managed to land on his feet, and used Quick Attack. Espeon used Psychic again to stop Pikachu, and lifted him in the air. Pikachu managed to bounce off the ceiling, and landed on one of the stadium's lights. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, causing the lights to turn off, blocking Espeon's vision. Unable to see anything, Espeon was hit by Pikachu's next Thunderbolt. Pikachu then managed to avoid several Zap Cannon attacks, and hit Espeon again with Thunderbolt. Just as the lights turned on again, Pikachu jumped down and hit Espeon hard with his Iron Tail. He then rushed towards Espeon using Volt Tackle. Despite trying to stop Pikachu using Zap Cannon, the attack missed and Espeon got [[Fainting|knocked out]] by the powerful attack. This gave Ash the win, and earned him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Ability Symbol]].

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', in preparation for Ash's rematch against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} for his final frontier symbol, Pikachu reunited with Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard. Using Quick Attack to round up leaves created by Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}, they were able to make a den to sleep. Although he got in a fight with the other Pokémon, they later calmed down. The next day, they all continued to train. Pikachu was later captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued thanks to the efforts of Ash and the other Pokémon. They then combined their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, they met up with Brandon again, and he agreed to have a four-on-four rematch with Pikachu and the other Pokémon at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}.

Pikachu was the fourth and final Pokémon used in Ash's Battle Pyramid challenge against Pyramid King Brandon in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. After Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Brandon's first three Pokémon were eliminated from the match, Pikachu was pitted against [[Brandon's Regice]]. Ash first had Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Regice seemed unfazed by the attack. Then, Regice countered with Blizzard. Pikachu quickly recovered, and used Iron Tail, but was unable to land since he had to dodge the Iceberg Pokémon's Ice Beam. Regice used Ice Beam again to counter Pikachu's Quick Attack, and despite Pikachu managing to dodge the attack again, the whole battle field got frozen in the process. This made Regice to move even quicker, while making it harder for Pikachu to move. As Regice was about to hit Pikachu with a Focus Punch, Pikachu was able to hit Regice with Thunderbolt, stunning it. This allowed Pikachu to hit Regice with a super-effective Iron Tail. However, Regice quickly recovered and used Ice Beam, creating ice pillars, which trapped Pikachu. With Pikachu being unable to do anything, Regice used Rest to heal itself completely. Despite Pikachu managing to escape using Iron Tail, Regice was able to wake up before Pikachu could attack it and hit him with an Ice Beam, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} him. While Ash was yelling words of encouragement, the referee began to declare Pikachu unable to battle. However, Pikachu managed to thaw out using Thunderbolt, while also hitting Regice in the process. Regice then hit Pikachu with Focus Punch, sending Pikachu bouncing across the ice field. However, Pikachu used this to his advantage and bounced back to Regice to hit it with two consecutive Iron Tails. However, Regice was still standing, and managed to trap Pikachu again between ice pillars using Ice Beam, and started to rest up again. Pikachu escaped again using Iron Tail, and charged towards Regice using Volt Tackle. Regice managed to awake in time again, and started using Ice Beam to stop Pikachu. However, Pikachu was alert, and dodged the attack, hitting Regice with a powerful Volt Tackle, finally knocking the {{pkmn|category|Iceberg Pokémon}} out. This gave Ash the win, and finally earned him his last Symbol, [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Brave Symbol]].

Both Pokémon used Thunderbolt and were evenly matched.Then, Pikachu used Quick Attack, but it was avoided by Electivire. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but they were evenly matched. Pikachu used a close range Thunderbolt, which Electivire dodged by jumping. However, this was what Ash wanted, and had Pikachu use Volt Tackle since it was now defenseless. Suddenly, Electivire blocked the attack with {{m|Protect}}, damaging Pikachu due to recoil. Electivire then launched its powerful Thunder Punch, defeating Pikachu. Later, Pikachu went with Ash to Sinnoh, intending for him to be the only Pokémon to go with him, as he left his other Pokémon at Professor Oak's laboratory. However, {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on their ship, and Ash surprised at first, allowed her to accompany them to Sinnoh.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===

Eventually, in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} found Pikachu and tried to catch him, but failed since he already had a Trainer. She also protected him from Team Rocket and managed to blast Team Rocket off alongside with him. Pikachu was eventually reunited with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Later, he was used as Ash's final Pokémon in a battle against Ash's new rival, [[Paul]], and his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Elekid simply absorbed the attack and then launched a powerful Thunder at him. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Elekid blocked the attack using Protect, causing him to take recoil damage. Pikachu, however, managed to get up and used Iron Tail, which was countered by Elekid's {{m|Brick Break}}. As the two moves were colliding, Paul mentioned Elekid still had one free arm and ordered it to hit Pikachu with Thunder Punch. Pikachu, however, managed to block Thunder Punch with Iron Tail and then hit Elekid hard.

Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Cranidos dodged it and used {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Pikachu stopped the attack with Iron Tail. However, Cranidos was able to withstand the attack and used Headbutt. Although Pikachu managed to dodge and attempted to use Thunderbolt, Cranidos still managed to score a direct hit on him. Pikachu then tried to use Thunderbolt again, but Cranidos used Zen Headbutt to stop him and then used another Headbutt to knock him to the ground. When Paul got up to leave, believing Ash had already lost, Pikachu suddenly showed his strength by letting off a powerful electric attack in the air, causing Paul to stay. As the battle continued, Pikachu used Quick Attack, while Cranidos used Flamethrower. Pikachu dodged the attack and hit Cranidos with Iron Tail. Cranidos then used {{m|Head Smash}}, while Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle. The collision of these attacks caused much damage to both Pokémon. Not wanting Pikachu to take any more damage, Ash recalled him.
Later, Pikachu was sent out again to battle Roark's Onix. Pikachu used Iron Tail, which was countered by Onix's Slam. Ash then came up with an idea and had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the battlefield, causing rocks to be launched in the air. Onix tried heading forwards using Double-Edge, but couldn't due to the rocks. Pikachu then headed towards Onix using Quick Attack, but Onix quickly recovered and countered with {{m|Screech}}. Despite trying to still move forwards, Pikachu was overwhelmed by the attack and was blasted away, knocking him out and making Ash lose the battle.

In ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his rematch against Roark, where he faced Roark's Onix again. Pikachu used Quick Attack to climb onto Onix's body, after dodging a Slam. Onix tried to stop Pikachu using Screech, but failed and Pikachu managed to reach Onix's head. Despite trying to shake Pikachu off, Onix got hit by a super-effective Iron Tail. Onix then went for Double-Edge with Pikachu heading straight towards Onix. At the last moment, however, Pikachu used his newly learned spin technique to dodge the attack and went for another Iron Tail. Onix, however, managed to dodge and hit Pikachu hard with Slam. Onix then used {{m|Stealth Rock}}, but the move was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, preventing it from being executed as well as damaging Onix. Pikachu then used Iron Tail and while Onix tried countering with Screech, he managed to outspeed the Rock Snake Pokémon and defeated it. Pikachu was recalled when Roark sent out his Geodude.
Pikachu was later sent out to battle Roark's {{p|Rampardos}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Rampardos dodged and went for Zen Headbutt. Pikachu tried dodging the attack using his spin technique again, but still got hurt in the process. He then used Quick Attack, while Rampardos countered with Headbutt. Pikachu managed to avoid Headbutt by spinning head over heels, but got thrown in the air by Rampardos's tail. Pikachu then headed down using Iron Tail with Rampardos countering with Zen Headbutt. This caused Pikachu's Static to activate, but it was cancelled out by Rampardos's {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Rampardos then hit Pikachu hard with Zen Headbutt, knocking him out.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{si|Kenny}} and his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but the attack was blocked by Prinplup's Metal Claw. Prinplup then used Drill Peck, but Pikachu managed to dodge the attack by spinning and hit Prinplup with Iron Tail, sending it to the ground. Prinplup, however, used Bubble Beam to create a cushion to land safely. Pikachu and Prinplup then clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Ash entered Pikachu in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]. Pikachu was able to imitate several Pokémon and, as a result, advanced to the finals. However, he ended up losing to [[Brock's Croagunk]].

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Pikachu was used in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where he battled alongside [[Paul's Chimchar]]. Pikachu and Chimchar faced a Rhydon and a Magmar. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt on Magmar, but the attack got redirected to Rhydon due to its {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability. Unharmed by the Electric-type attack, Rhydon proceeded to hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Megahorn}}. Magmar then used {{m|Lava Plume}}, dealing minor damage Rhydon. While Pikachu managed to dodge the attack, Paul had Chimchar jump right in to power up its {{type|Fire}} moves. Despite this, Chimchar's Flamethrower did little damage to Rhydon and Chimchar got hit by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Pikachu then managed to hit Rhydon with a super-effective Iron Tail, dealing much damage. Rhydon then used {{m|Surf}}, while Magmar protected itself with Protect. Pikachu, however, managed to break through the Surf and defeat Rhydon using Iron Tail. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, while Magmar countered with Fire Punch. This gave Chimchar the opportunity to hit Magmar with a super-effective Dig, knocking it out and causing Ash and Paul to proceed to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Ash and Pikachu tried stopping a wild {{p|Spiritomb}} from rampaging, after the gang accidentally destroyed the [[Hallowed Tower]], thus freeing Spiritomb from the [[Odd Keystone]]. Eventually, Pikachu managed to defeat Spiritomb with Volt Tackle and Thunderbolt after a hard fought battle and the group managed to seal Spiritomb in the Keystone again.

In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Pikachu encountered Paul's Electabuzz again at [[Reggie]]'s home, where the two started fighting. The Pokémon got separated by [[Maylene's Lucario]]. Later, Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in a battle against Reggie. Pikachu faced Reggie's {{p|Staraptor}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Staraptor managed to dodge and used {{m|Brave Bird}}. Pikachu tried dodging using his spin technique, but failed to do so and got hit hard. Pikachu then managed to dodge Staraptor's Steel Wing, by using Iron Tail on the ground to jump high in the air. He then used Volt Tackle, which was countered by Staraptor's {{m|Wing Attack}}, causing both Pokémon to fall down. In the end however, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', an arrogant Electric-type trainer named [[Sho]] wished Ash to trade Pikachu to him, as he already had a Pichu and {{p|Raichu}} and wanted to have the full evolution line in his team. Ash obviously refused, so Sho challenged him to a battle against his powerful Raichu. Unlike Lt. Surge's Raichu, this particular Raichu was fast as well as knew powerful attacks. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was easily taken by Raichu, who then proceeded to launch Thunder at Pikachu. Pikachu unwilling to dodge, took the attack and charged in using Volt Tackle. Raichu countered with its own Volt Tackle, sending both Pokémon flying back. Raichu managed to land back on its feet, while Pikachu crashed into a rock. Both Pokémon then clashed with Iron Tail. Raichu then managed to take Pikachu's Quick Attack and started using Hyper Beam. As Pikachu was trying to get away, Raichu used its tail to trap Pikachu and proceeded to hit him with a close-range Hyper Beam, defeating him as well as seriously injuring him.
During his recovery, Pikachu began to reconsider his earlier decision not to evolve since there would always be attacks and abilities that he simply couldn't learn otherwise. When Ash went to check on Pikachu he found both Pikachu and his Thunder Stone missing, causing him to think Pikachu may had evolved into Raichu. However, he soon found Pikachu training in the forest, trying to get stronger without evolving.

After some hard training, Ash and Pikachu re-challenged Sho and Raichu. Raichu started off using Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to constantly dodge its attacks by circling around. However, Raichu eventually managed to hit Pikachu and threw him in the air. While he was heading down Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Raichu's Volt Tackle. Raichu then went for another Volt Tackle, but Pikachu dodged it by spinning. Pikachu then circled around again to avoid Raichu's Iron Tail attacks, causing Raichu to lose its footing. This gave Pikachu the opportunity to hit it hard with a Quick Attack. Pikachu then proceeded to dodge Raichu's attacks and immediately after hit it with its own moves, dealing much damage. Raichu, however, was still standing and managed to trap Pikachu with its tail again, while charging Hyper Beam. As Hyper Beam was launched, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to block Hyper Beam, decreasing its power. As Raichu had to recharge, Pikachu proceeded to hit Raichu with a Volt Tackle-Iron Tail combination, dealing major damage. Pikachu and Raichu then clashed with Volt Tackle, proving to be equal in power. Pikachu then avoided Raichu's Iron Tail and flung it into a tree using Iron Tail. Raichu then tried trapping Pikachu again while using Hyper Beam, but Pikachu dodged its tail and used Hyper Beam's power to jump high in the air. Pikachu then headed down using a spinning Iron Tail and finally knocked Raichu out, proving he had once again made the right decision not to evolve.

In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', Pikachu and {{AP|Buizel}} got into a fight after Buizel got accidentally hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt while training. Later, Pikachu was the first Pokémon used in Ash's [[Pastoria Gym]] battle. He went up against [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit on Gyarados, but despite the super-effective attack, Gyarados was unharmed. Gyarados used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Pikachu blocked it with Iron Tail and used the strike to jump above Gyarados. Gyarados charged in with Bite, but Pikachu, while still in mid-air, used Volt Tackle, hitting Gyarados to the face and knocking it out. He was recalled after Crasher Wake sent out {{p|Quagsire}}.
Later, after Buizel was recalled, Pikachu went up again against {{p|Floatzel}}. He used Thunderbolt, but Floatzel countered with {{m|Whirlpool}}. The collision caused electrified water droplets to fall on Buizel, curing his confusion. Pikachu used Volt Tackle, but Floatzel overpowered it and damaged him with {{m|Razor Wind}}. Pikachu then got hit by {{m|Ice Fang}}, causing a part of his back to get frozen. Pikachu was then recalled after Buizel wanted to fight again. As they passed each other they exchanged high-fives and Buizel broke the ice on Pikachu's back with Water Gun, settling their quarrel.

[[File:Hearthome Collection Pikachu.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu in the Hearthome Collection]]
In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', Pikachu was used in the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion show for {{pkmn|Stylist}}s and their Pokémon whose winner would get the chance to work on a photo shoot for the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. At first, Pikachu was shy to go on stage wearing the outfit Ash had designed for him, but after hearing some encouraging words from Ash, he overcame his moment of shyness and went on stage to perform. He used his Thunderbolt attack to light up the [[Contest Hall|hall]], captivating the judges' attention. [[Hermione]] commented that, although Ash didn't quite get it what it means to be a Pokémon Stylist, he was at least making an effort to show off his Pokémon, instead of focusing solely on the clothing aspect. For this reason, Pikachu was among the three finalists, along with [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Cocoa]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Ash and Pikachu ended up in third place, receiving the Unique Award for their original costumes and performance.

In ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', Pikachu was used in an unofficial battle against the [[Hearthome City]] Gym Leader [[Fantina]]. Pikachu faced her {{TP|Fantina|Drifloon}}, who had already defeated Buizel and put Chimchar to sleep. After getting hit by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, Pikachu hit Drifloon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then used Volt Tackle, but Drifloon countered with {{m|Ominous Wind}}, stopping Pikachu and blowing him back. He then managed to hit Drifloon with another Thunderbolt, but this triggered Drifloon to evolve into {{p|Drifblim}}. Drifblim managed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt and followed up with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep. With two of his Pokémon sleeping Ash decided to forfeit the match.

In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his final Pokémon in a three-on-three battle against {{an|Barry}}, where he faced [[Barry's Empoleon]]. Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Pikachu was forced to dodge Empoleon's {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Empoleon then used Steel Wing, which clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. While continuously exchanging Steel Wings and Iron Tails, Pikachu eventually got hit, knocking him back. While struggling to get back up, Empoleon fired a Hyper Beam at Pikachu, launching him in the air. When it seemed to be over, Ash's words of encouragement managed to get through and Pikachu was able to hit Empoleon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then hit Empoleon with a powerful Volt Tackle, knocking it out.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's third Pokémon in his [[Hearthome Gym]] battle. He went up against Fantina's Drifblim. Pikachu used a Thunderbolt [[Counter Shield]], hurting Drifblim as well as paralyzing it. Drifblim, however, immediately blew the electricity away with Psychic. Drifblim then used a combination of Will-O-Wisp and Psychic to create a Counter Shield of its own. Pikachu used Counter Shield again, but it was overwhelmed as Drifblim's lasted longer due to it being supported by Psychic. Drifblim's Counter Shield then surrounded Pikachu, causing him to be unable to use Thunderbolt. Drifblim then proceeded to hit Pikachu with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep, and finished him off with Ominous Wind.

In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's partner in a [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. In the first round they faced [[Wilkinson]] and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Despite putting up a good match, Ash and Pikachu got eliminated.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's fifth Pokémon used in his Full Battle against Paul. First, he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}. Pikachu managed to hit Magmortar with Quick Attack. However, upon making contact, he was burned by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}}. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, which was countered by Magmortar's Flamethrower. He then went for Volt Tackle, which was countered by Magmortar's Rock Tomb. Despite managing to push through and destroy multiple rocks, Pikachu was eventually thrown back after crashing in one of the rocks and got immediately after damaged by his burn. Magmortar then used Smog, but Pikachu blocked it using his Thunderbolt Counter Shield. After taking more burn damage, Pikachu dodged Magmortar's Flamethrower and struck Magmortar with an Iron Tail, only to take burn damage again after. He was then recalled.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|thumb|left|250px|Static activated]]
Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. Pikachu hit Ursaring with Quick Attack, but the Hibernator Pokémon managed to take it and hit Pikachu hard with Hammer Arm. The physical contact activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Ursaring, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit it with Iron Tail. The paralysis, however, activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, greatly increasing Ursaring's Attack. Pikachu tried stopping Ursaring with Thunderbolt, but it managed to push through and slammed him into [[Lake Acuity]] with an extremely powerful Hammer Arm, taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only Chimchar.

In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against Barry's {{p|Heracross}}. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but Heracross endured the hit and hit him with Horn Attack. Their battle was stopped, when Barry saw a {{p|Xatu}} flying and decided to follow it.

In ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the Hurdle Dash event of a [[Pokéathlon]] held in [[Camellia Town]]. Pikachu and {{OBP|Daniel|DP160}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} quickly managed to take the lead and after racing neck-to-neck with Snorlax, Snorlax's large belly passed the finish line first. This meant Daniel had won the Pokéathlon with Ash ending up in second place.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Sinnoh Elite Four]] member {{ef|Flint}}. He faced [[Flint's Infernape]], who had already defeated Ash's Buizel and his Infernape. Pikachu first used Quick Attack, but Infernape simply took the attack and used {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, causing an explosion. Infernape and Pikachu then clashed with {{m|Mach Punch}} and Iron Tail, but Infernape overpowered Pikachu sending him flying into a wall. Infernape then hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Close Combat}} and slammed him down to the ground. Before hitting the ground, Pikachu still managed to hit Infernape with Thunderbolt. Infernape then headed downwards using Flare Blitz, being unable to dodge Pikachu was hit hard by the Fire-type move. Pikachu, however, still didn't give up and used Quick Attack. Infernape took the attack again and used this chance to knock him back with Close Combat. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Infernape countered with Flare Blitz, breaking through the attack and hitting him hard. Pikachu and Infernape then clashed with Volt Tackle and Mach Punch, causing an explosion, knocking Pikachu to the ground.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Pikachu first launched a Quick Attack, which Electivire dodged. Electivire then launched a Fire Punch and {{m|Ice Punch}}, both of which were dodged. After dodging these attacks Pikachu had hit Electivire with two Thunderbolts, which Electivire absorbed due to its Ability {{a|Motor Drive}}, increasing its Speed. Due to its increased Speed, it dodged Iron Tail with ease and managed to hit Pikachu with Fire Punch. Electivire then hit Pikachu with Ice Punch, which activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Electivire as well as slowing it down. Due to Electivire's paralysis, Pikachu was able to dodge an Ice Punch and countered another one with Iron Tail. As Electivire went for another Ice Punch, Pikachu managed to outspeed the Thunderbolt Pokémon and defeat it with Iron Tail. Pikachu was then recalled. He later went up against Volkern's {{p|Luxray}}. His Quick Attack was stopped by {{m|Shock Wave}}, knocking him back. Pikachu then launched three successful Iron Tails but the fourth was countered by {{m|Thunder Fang}}, which overpowered Pikachu. He was then knocked out by Luxray's Shock Wave.

In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}. First he and Aggron clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw, proving to be equal in power. Aggron then countered with {{m|Metal Sound}}, hurting Pikachu's ears. Pikachu managed to stop Aggron with Thunderbolt and headed forwards using Volt Tackle. This attack, however, was stopped by Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, dealing much damage. Pikachu was then recalled in place of Infernape. [[DP187|Later]] Pikachu was used again in Ash's battle against Paul, this time facing Paul's {{p|Froslass}}. Froslass started off using {{m|Hail}}, activating her {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability, making it hard to keep track of Froslass's movements. As Pikachu kept getting attacked by his opponent, he tried countering with Thunderbolt. The falling hail, however, protected Froslass from Thunderbolt, giving Froslass the chance to hit Pikachu hard with an {{m|Ice Shard}}. Pikachu then tried attacking with Volt Tackle, only to be easily dodged by the Snow Land Pokémon. As Froslass went for another Ice Shard to finish Pikachu off, Pikachu managed to avoid it by jumping and hit Froslass with a super-effective Iron Tail. Due to the large amount of damage Froslass had taken, the hail disappeared. Froslass then went for an Ice Beam, freezing Pikachu. As Froslass was about to finish Pikachu off with Ice Shard, Pikachu managed to thaw out with Volt Tackle and knocked the Snow Land Pokémon out. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. He was then once again recalled. During [[DP188|the continuation of their battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to battle Paul's Electivire. Electivire started off by using Thunder on the battle field, launching rocks at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, managed to maneuver through the rocks with Quick Attack and strike Electivire with a direct hit on the head. Electivire, however, quickly recovered and grabbed Pikachu with its tails. As Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, Electivire smacked him to the ground. Using these movements however, Pikachu managed to escape from Electivire's grip. Pikachu and Electivire then clashed with Quick Attack and Brick Break, pushing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then went for Volt Tackle. Electivire blocked the attack, activating its Motor Drive Ability. It then went for a speedy Thunder Punch, but this was countered by Pikachu's Iron Tail. Both attacks, however, proved to be equal in power making Pikachu unable to move. This gave Electivire the opportunity to use Brick Break with its other arm, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. In the beginning almost none of his attacks hit or did any damage to Latios and his attacks got easily overwhelmed by Latios's powerful attacks. However, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt to severely damage Latios. Latios then used Light Screen, reducing the damage caused by Thunderbolt. Despite this Pikachu kept using Thunderbolt until he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge, causing a massive explosion. In the end, however, both he and Latios fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon had fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle, placing Ash in the Top 4 of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Pikachu helped search for {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, when he had run away.

Later, Pikachu said goodbye to Dawn and Piplup, before he, Ash and Brock boarded the ship heading to [[Kanto]]. Upon arriving in Kanto, Pikachu and Ash finally bade farewell to Brock too and the two continued on towards Pallet Town.

Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just as he did in Hoenn. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu joined Ash, [[Delia]] and Professor Oak on a trip to the Unova region. Upon arriving in Unova, Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused him to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this during his battle against [[Trip]] and his {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}. After scoring a direct hit with Quick Attack and avoiding Snivy's Tackle, Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt, but was unable to and got hit by a Tackle. Unable to use Thunderbolt again, he went for Volt Tackle, but failed to use this move as well, wearing Pikachu out greatly. Noticing Pikachu's inability of using Electric-type moves, Ash ordered Pikachu to use Iron Tail. This attack, however, was dodged by Snivy, who then proceeded to defeat the exhausted Pikachu with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. In [[BW002|the next episode]], Pikachu recovered his Electric-type moves.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{TP|Cress|Panpour}}.

He then threw Tranquill in the air and defeated it with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who had evolved into Servine.

After both Pokémon got blown back by the collision, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of troublemaking {{p|Ducklett}} stole [[Ash's hat]] and [[Sunglasses Sandile|Sandile]]'s sunglasses. Pikachu assisted Sandile in defeating them. After unintentionally shocking himself with Thunderbolt, because he was stuck in a beach umbrella, Pikachu couldn't use Electric-type attacks. Eventually his anger caused him to learn {{m|Electro Ball}} and blasted the Ducklett off with his new move as well as recovering his ability to use Electric-type moves. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Pikachu got hit by {{m|Stone Edge}}, but immediately countered with Quick Attack. As Pikachu used Iron Tail, Sandile used Dig to avoid getting hit and hit Pikachu hard. Sandile then used another Dig, hitting Pikachu again.

Unable to break free from the strings he was hit by Leaf Storm again. He then tried a Thunderbolt but missed due to his loss of balance. He was then hit by a powerful Hyper Beam, but refused to give up. When Leavanny used Leaf Storm, Pikachu spun and charged into the Leaf Storm, cutting the threads. Pikachu then dodged Leavanny's String Shot's with Quick Attack.

He then threw Pikachu in the air and hit him hard with Metal Claw. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail. Excadrill tried countering with Metal Claw, but Pikachu managed to dodge it and hit him hard. After a collision between Pikachu's Electro Ball and Excadrill's {{m|Focus Blast}}, Excadrill used Dig to hit Pikachu from beneath, launching him in the air spinning.

Pikachu then faced Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}. Despite her not looking very strong, Tynamo proved to be a tough opponent, using speedy and strong Tackles to hit Pikachu hard. Tynamo managed to slam Pikachu into the ground. While stuck in the ground he was unable to defend himself against Tynamo's countless Tackles. Pikachu eventually managed to break free and started using Thunderbolt on the battle field. The now rocky field forced Tynamo to face Pikachu head on only. Tynamo then dashed forwards using Tackle. Pikachu had Tynamo come close and then launched a powerful Iron Tail, defeating her thus winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]], where he faced his {{p|Bouffalant}}.

Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}. Despite Swanna major Electric weakness, Pikachu's Electric-type moves proved to be useless, as Swanna used {{m|Aqua Ring}} to protect itself against them. Pikachu then used Iron Tail, but Swanna ascended and dodged the attack. Ash then had the idea to have Pikachu jump on the rings above the battle field, while using Quick Attack, to get close to Swanna and managed to hit the White Bird Pokémon hard. Swanna, however, quickly recovered and hit Pikachu with Bubble Beam, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was then hit by a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and got finished off by a brutal Brave Bird.

In ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', Ash and Pikachu entered the [[Wishing Bell Festival]]. By working together they managed to reach the final round, where they had to climb [[Mistralton Tower]] while protecting the flame of their {{p|Litwick}} candle.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]]. He faced Roxie's strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}, who had already beaten Ash's Pignite and {{AP|Palpitoad}}. Garbodor started off using Double Slap, but Pikachu used his swift movements to dodge Garbodor's long arms, causing them to tangle up. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor hard with Quick Attack. Garbodor then attacked by swinging its arms at Pikachu, but he managed to dodge again and shocked the Trash Heap Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. As Pikachu went for an Iron Tail, Garbodor knocked him back with its arms and followed up with several {{m|Gunk Shot}}s. Cornered by these attacks, Pikachu got caught by Garbodor's arms and was then hit by a series of Double Slaps. He was then hit by Gunk Shot, {{status|poison}}ing him. Roxie then ordered Garbodor to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Venoshock}}, but due to all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu had made with Garbodor, Pikachu's Static Ability had activated, paralyzing Garbodor. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor with Thunderbolt, but it was able to withstand it and used Venoshock. Pikachu, however, overpowered the attack with Electro Ball and hit Garbodor, knocking it out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the Unova League.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu was used in one final battle against Dawn, before she headed to Johto. He faced her {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack, taking hits from Quilava's Swift, before his attack was dodged. Quilava then used {{m|Flame Wheel}}, which he dodged in time. Pikachu fired off an Electro Ball, which collided with Quilava's Flamethrower. Quilava then used {{m|Smokescreen}}, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt pierced through the smoke and he then attacked with Iron Tail. Quilava, however, countered with Flamethrower, overpowering Pikachu. Both Pokémon kept exchanging attacks, with Quilava's Swift being deflected by Pikachu's Iron Tail and a collision between Thunderbolt and Flamethrower. Pikachu and Quilava collided once more, with Quick Attack and Flame Wheel, knocking both Pokémon back. The battle was then called off by [[Cynthia]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash and Pikachu battled {{an|Giovanni}} and his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}}, trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}. Pikachu outsped Persian's {{m|Shadow Claw}} and scored a hit with Iron Tail. Persian, however, immediately followed up with {{m|Power Gem}}, defeating Pikachu. Giovanni then successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a Thunder attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip's Serperior. Pikachu's attacks were easily dodged by Serperior, while the Regal Pokémon scored a direct on Pikachu with {{m|Dragon Tail}}. In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Pikachu continued his battle with Serperior. Pikachu managed to stand up, but got immediately hit by an {{m|Energy Ball}}. Pikachu then managed to dodge a Dragon Tail, but got hit by another one. Serperior then proceeded to grab Pikachu with {{m|Wrap}}. While in Serperior's grasp, Pikachu hit him with Thunderbolt, but Trip quickly had Serperior anchor his tail in the ground, conducting the electricity to the ground, preventing damage. Serperior then tightened his grip, causing Pikachu to lose consciousness. When Serperior was about to finish Pikachu off by slamming him to the ground, Pikachu was awoken by Ash's voice and managed to escape from Serperior's grip by using Iron Tail on the ground. Pikachu's Iron Tail was then countered and overpowered by Serperior's Dragon Tail. Pikachu, however, still didn't give in and used an Electro Ball-Iron Tail combination, which clashed with Dragon Tail, causing a huge explosion. After the smoke cleared only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win as well as his first win against Trip.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Razor Shell}}. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack, but he was overwhelmed by Samurott's Razor Shell and was then hit by a powerful Hydro Cannon. Pikachu then dodged a Megahorn and used Quick Attack. He managed to dodge Razor Shell and hit Samurott hard with Quick Attack, followed up by a powerful Iron Tail. Samurott then blocked an Electro Ball with Razor Shell, but Pikachu immediately followed up with Iron Tail, defeating the Formidable Pokémon. Pikachu stayed in to battle Cameron's Swanna. Swanna started off using a series of {{m|Pluck}} attacks, which were all dodged by Pikachu. Pikachu then used Quick Attack, but Swanna avoided the attack and struck him with Wing Attack. Swanna then went for Bubble Beam, but this was dodged by Pikachu. Swanna then dove towards Pikachu using Wing Attack, but he dodged again and launched a super-effective Electro Ball at the White Bird Pokémon, knocking it out. Pikachu was then recalled. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated {{AP|Snivy}}, leaving him as Ash's last Pokémon. Pikachu started off by repeatedly using Quick attack, each time scoring a direct hit. He then tried to finish Lucario off with Iron Tail, but Lucario quickly dodged. Lucario then jumped towards Pikachu and hit him hard with {{m|Force Palm}}. Pikachu's Electro Ball then collided with Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, blowing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then managed to avoid Force Palm, but Lucario chased after him and threw him in the air using {{m|Circle Throw}}. Pikachu, however, managed to land on his feet and struck Lucario with a powerful Thunderbolt, followed up by a Quick Attack. He then went for Iron Tail, but Lucario used {{m|Copycat}} to counter his attack, causing a big explosion. Despite the large amount of damage both Pokémon had taken, they still managed to stand up. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere. Aura Sphere, however, overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in Top 8.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot]]'', Pikachu battled wild Pokémon, controlled by [[Colress]], trying to free them and stop [[Team Plasma]]. Impressed by Pikachu's power, Colress managed to gain control over Pikachu by attaching a receiver to his head and ordered him to attack Ash and the group. As Colress was increasing the power of the EM waves, Ash begged Pikachu to fight the control. Fighting against the control, the receiver overloaded and got destroyed, freeing Pikachu from Team Plasma's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pikachu along with Ash's other Pokémon fought against Team Plasma's Pokémon in order to prevent them from awakening {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Reshiram}}. Colress, however, then activated his improved mind-control machine and managed to hit Pikachu with the machine's laser, controlling him again. This time however, Ash's voice didn't get through to Pikachu's control and he was knocked unconscious by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. {{an|N}} then offered to give Team Plasma the [[Light Stone]] in exchange for them freeing Pikachu from their control, to which they agreed. In [[BW122|the next episode]], Pikachu tried to destroy Colress's machine to free Reshiram and all the other Pokémon from [[Ghetsis]]'s control. However, he was ultimately hit by the laser, which put him under control once again. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu managed to resist the machine's influence, using his own electricity to fight off Ghetsis's control, and used Thunderbolt on Reshiram in an attempt to help it escape from Ghetsis's control as well. Despite Colress increasing the machine's power, Pikachu kept resisting and together with Reshiram destroyed the machine with Electro Ball and {{m|Fusion Flare}}, freeing all Pokémon from Team Plasma's control, thus defeating the team.

[[File:Bulbasaur and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu reuniting with Bulbasaur]]
In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]],'' Pikachu participated in the [[Marine Cup Tournament]]. He managed to beat other Trainers with a {{p|Gurdurr}} and an {{p|Eelektrik}} and make it to the finals. He battled against [[Teaque]]'s {{p|Galvantula}}. After a tough battle, Pikachu was able to knock out Galvantula with Iron Tail, winning the tournament for Ash.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Pikachu, along with {{TP|Iris|Axew}} was captured by Team Rocket, while Ash, Iris and {{an|Cilan}} were trapped inside the ship's cargo space. He was eventually freed out of the net and together with Axew using Dragon Rage, Charizard using Flamethrower and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} using Solar Beam, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket off. Later, Pikachu said farewell to Axew, Iris and Cilan as he, Ash and [[Alexa]] continued on to Pallet Town.

Pikachu was reunited with Bulbasaur and the entire Unova team at Professor Oak's Laboratory in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Thunderbolt to send them blasting off for the last time in the ''Best Wishes'' series. Pikachu then continued to travel with Ash when he set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

==={{series|XY}}===
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Ash and Pikachu arrived in Kalos by plane along with Alexa. After being thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] for not having enough Gym Badges, Ash was saved by {{an|Clemont}} while Pikachu was saved by {{an|Bonnie}}. Bonnie was excited to be holding Pikachu, leading to him shocking her because she was holding him too tightly. After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to.
[[File:Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Pikachu and Ash]]
In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, he proved to be quite a challenge for Pikachu. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig. Pikachu tried to confuse Bunnelby with his speedy movements, but the Digging Pokémon was able to hit him. Pikachu then scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from. Bunnelby then used Double Slap, hitting him several times before knocking him back. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which Bunnelby easily caught with his ears. Now, however, Bunnelby was unable to use his ears, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit the Digging Pokémon with Electro Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu for their plans. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her Wobbuffet reflect Pikachu's attacks with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded Pikachu with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu was used to blast off the villains. Froakie soon collapsed from its injuries, so Ash, Pikachu, and their new friends went to [[Professor Sycamore]] to heal Froakie back to health.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that he could be healed. When Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued her to get the device off and free her. After chasing her to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off with Ash immediately leaping in to save his best friend, to the shock of many including {{an|Serena}}. They were both saved by a {{me|Blaziken}}, who intercepted them in the air and put the two safely back onto the ground.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Santalune Gym]] battle with [[Viola]], sending him out to face her {{p|Surskit}}. Despite the type-advantage, Surskit proved to be a tough opponent, using its speedy movements to dodge Pikachu's attacks. Pikachu's Quick Attack was blocked by Protect and his Iron Tail was dodged. After blocking Pikachu's Electro Ball with Ice Beam, it used Ice Beam on the field, freezing it. While Pikachu slipped on the ice, Surskit was able to skate on it. Although Pikachu did get a successful hit with Iron Tail, his Thunderbolt was overpowered by Ice Beam and he was then knocked out by {{m|Signal Beam}}. After he was healed at the Pokémon Center, he trained with {{AP|Fletchling}} for their rematch by using Alexa's {{p|Noivern}}'s {{m|Gust}} to help them withstand {{p|Vivillon}}'s Gust, who beat Fletchling in the first battle.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', continuing his training along with Fletchling, they were able to withstand Noivern's Gust well. Later, using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}. After it broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. The next day, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon for his Gym Battle rematch against Viola, where he again went up against her Surskit. Using his training he was able to dodge Sticky Web, and after having his Thunderbolt blocked by Surskit's Protect and dodging its Signal Beam, he was able to hit Surskit with Iron Tail. Afterwards, Pikachu tried to stop Surskit from using Ice Beam on the field by climbing on it and using Thunderbolt, but Surskit was able to shake him off and managed to create the ice field as well as freezing the area. This time, however, using his tail, Pikachu was able to stabilize himself on the ice field. His Thunderbolt then overpowered Surskit's Signal Beam, defeating the Pond Skater Pokémon. Ash recalled Pikachu and substituted him for Fletchling. He was later called out again to battle Vivillon, who had beaten Fletchling. Vivillon attacked with Gust, but as Pikachu was still damaged from battling Surskit, he wasn't able to withstand attack. As Vivillon went for another Gust, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail to anchor himself to the ice field to withstand the attack. Vivillon then used Solar Beam, which was countered with Thunderbolt. In his current position, however, Pikachu was left vulnerable to Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and got hit. While he was struggling to stay awake, Vivillon charged its Solar Beam. Thinking back to their training, Ash had Pikachu use Electro Ball on himself to repel Sleep Powder, thus keeping him awake. Vivillon then launched the Solar Beam, but Pikachu was able to overpower it with Electro Ball, causing Vivillon to crash into the lamps which were frozen by Surskit's Ice Beam misfire, freezing its wing. This allowed Pikachu to defeat the Scale Pokémon with Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Bug}}.

[[File:Officer Jenny Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu hypnotized by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Malamar}}]]
In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'', after overhearing one of Team Rocket's conversations, [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Malamar}} captured Pikachu. After Clemont attempted to use his "Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device" to find Pikachu, it was revealed that Malamar had hypnotized Pikachu, making him one of Madame X's subordinates. While searching for Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena were also hypnotized by Malamar. Once Ash and Meowth finally found Pikachu, Team Rocket, and Madame X, Madame X forced Pikachu to attack Ash. Ash attempted to get through to Pikachu, which works and Pikachu starts to fight Malamar control. Pikachu electricity did get the Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device to bursted in and rammed into Malamar, causing it to lose its control over everyone. After Malamar revealed his plans through Meowth, Pikachu attempted to attack it, but Malamar managed to escape.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] battle against [[Grant]]. He went up against his {{p|Tyrunt}}. Pikachu was at a type-disadvantage since Tyrunt was part {{type|Dragon}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack and jumped to attack from above to avoid {{m|Crunch}} and hit Tyrunt. Tyrunt then used its signature {{m|Draco Meteor}}, but Pikachu dodged and struck it with a super-effective Iron Tail. As the meteor shower from Draco Meteor rained down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to jump on the meteors and perform the Draco Meteor Climb, which was based on the Rock Tomb Climb Froakie previously used. Tyrunt then used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Dragon Tail and clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. Grant then had Tyrunt use his favorite move, Rock Tomb, but Pikachu deflected the projectiles with Iron Tail, knocking one into Tyrunt's mouth. While Tyrunt was now unable to use Crunch, Pikachu had the opportunity to move close and finish with Ash's favorite move, Thunderbolt, defeating Tyrunt, winning the battle and earning Ash the {{badge|Cliff}}.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', Pikachu was used in the Ash's battle against [[Diantha]], the [[Kalos League]] Champion, where he faced her {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} managed to dodge all of Pikachu's attacks and hit him hard with a Shadow Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Pikachu's Quick Attack was easily taken by Lucario and his Iron Tail was blocked. Lucario used its great speed to dodge an Iron Tail and then raised its Attack using {{m|Swords Dance}}. Pikachu was then unable to dodge Lucario's speedy attacks and got hit by several {{m|Bone Rush}}es and was then finished off by a powerful {{m|Power-Up Punch}}.

Pikachu battled Lucario again in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', but this time against Lucario's [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form. Mega Lucario used Bone Rush, but Pikachu managed to knock the bone away with Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack and managed to dodge a Power-Up Punch. Lucario, however, started to go out of control and chased after him before kicking him into a rock. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but it dodged it and now started to attack Pikachu aggressively, forcing Ash to protect Pikachu. As Lucario went to attack Ash and Pikachu, [[Gurkinn]] sent out his {{p|Lucario}} to block the attack. Lucario then lost its conscious and the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Pikachu was used in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} alongside with [[Serena's Fennekin]] and [[Clemont's Chespin]] against [[Tierno's Squirtle]], [[Shauna's Bulbasaur]], and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. Pikachu and the others were having a hard time due to their opponents great teamwork, which led to Fennekin being defeated by Squirtle. When Pikachu used Quick Attack, Squirtle used Rapid Spin to block and send Pikachu flying. He also took some damage from the embers from Charmander's {{m|Flame Burst}} and he and the others were then hit by Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf. Pikachu then jumped to dodge a Flamethrower, but was then targeted by Bulbasaur's Solar Beam. Much to Shauna and her friends's surprise, Chespin used Vine Whip to pull Pikachu up, giving Pikachu the perfect opportunity to defeat Charmander with Thunderbolt. When Squirtle used Rapid Spin, Chespin used Vine Whip to stop it, while Pikachu managed to defeat Bulbasaur with Electro Ball. After avoiding Squirtle's {{m|Aqua Tail}}, Pikachu also defeated it with Thunderbolt giving Ash, Serena and Clemont the win {{tt|and the spot on the Hall of Fame|Despite having one point less than Team Chikorita, as the final scores were inconsistent with the points given on screen}}.

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon Ash used during his [[Shalour Gym]] battle with [[Korrina]], sending him out to face Korrina's Mega Lucario. Ash was convinced that Korrina wasn't the only one who trained, both Pokémon stared off as this was going to be the final battle. Pikachu used Quick Attack and combined it with Electro Ball, launching a fast Electro Ball, but this was deflected by Bone Rush. Pikachu's Iron Tail was blocked and Lucario kicked him into the air. While in mid-air, Pikachu hit Lucario with Thunderbolt, but it immediately countered with Aura Sphere, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was able to get to up and showed his strength by unleashing his electricity. Lucario then used Metal Sound, which Pikachu drowned out using his Thunderbolt hitting Lucario as well. Then Lucario used Aura Sphere, but Pikachu used Iron Tail to bounce off it and jump, similar to the Draco Meteor Climb. Lucario jumped towards Pikachu and used Bone Rush, but Pikachu countered with Iron Tail. While both Pokémon were clashing with their attacks, they both crashed down on the ground. Both Pokémon, however, were still standing. Lucario's Power-Up Punch was then countered with Iron Tail, and its Aura Sphere then collided with Pikachu's Electro Ball. Pikachu was able to recover first from the collision and struck Lucario with Thunderbolt, finally defeating the Aura Pokémon, thus giving Ash the victory and earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}. As the group prepared to depart for [[Coumarine City]], Pikachu and Lucario bumped fists as a promise to battle again someday.

In ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Pikachu helped out a {{AP|Goomy}}, after they were stolen by Team Rocket. Knowing that his Thunderbolt wouldn't break their cage, Pikachu kept ramming it and managed to bend the bars. While Goomy managed to escape, Pikachu couldn't fit through until Goomy used its slime on its body to make him slip right through the bars. After getting out, they both ran off until they were noticed by Team Rocket, who gave chase. When Pikachu and Goomy were about to be hit by Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s Shadow Ball, Ash arrived with Fletchinder to protect them. When Team Rocket were about to capture Pikachu again, Ash told him to use Iron Tail, destroying the cage. While battling their foes, Pikachu used Electro Ball, countering Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball. Then {{TP|James|Inkay}} used Psybeam, which managed to confuse Pikachu and Fletchinder, causing them to attack each other instead. As they were about to be finished off by Pumpkaboo and Inkay's {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, Goomy shielded them with its body and used {{m|Bide}} to attack Team Rocket's Pokémon. As the confusion wore off, Ash had Pikachu finish Team Rocket off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu informed to Ash that Goomy wanted to go with them, allowing him to capture it.

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Pikachu alongside Sliggoo was used in a Double Battle against Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu. Before the battle could start, he was grabbed by a mecha created by Team Rocket, but Sliggoo was able to save Pikachu with Dragon Breath. After the mecha took Sliggoo, along with Wartortle and Raichu, Pikachu split up with Ash and Serena to look for them. After Sliggoo evolved into Goodra to save Ash and Pikachu, they restarted their battle. Pikachu hit Wartortle with Quick Attack and then quickly backed off to avoid a Rapid Spin. While Goodra was charging its Bide, Raichu fired a Focus Blast at it. Pikachu tried blocking the attack with Electro Ball, but got hit by Wartortle's Rapid Spin. Goodra, however, withstood the attack and fired off its Bide. Wartortle tried countering with Hydro Pump, but Pikachu blocked the attack with Iron Tail, causing Bide to hit its mark. Pikachu then countered Raichu's Focus Blast with Electro Ball to protect Goodra and after Goodra managed to daze both Pokémon by throwing Wartortle into Raichu, Pikachu and Goodra defeated them with a Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} combo.

In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Lumiose Gym Battle against Clemont and went up against his Bunnelby. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig, which was too fast for Pikachu to evade. Pikachu hit Bunnelby with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from and managed to hit Pikachu several times with Double Slap. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which the Digging Pokémon caught with his ears. This reminded Bonnie of their first battle. Instead of letting Pikachu counter with Electro Ball, Bunnelby used his new move, {{m|Wild Charge}}, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Bunnelby then hit Pikachu with another Dig. He then responded with Quick Attack, but Bunnelby used Dig again. However, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, forcing Bunnelby to emerge and dealing major damage. Pikachu then used another Iron Tail, defeating Bunnelby. When Clemont sent out {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, Ash recalled Pikachu. He was later sent out to battle Clemont's last Pokémon, {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. Pikachu could take advantage of Luxray's {{m|Electric Terrain}}, which increased the power of Electric-type moves. Pikachu first used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Luxray's Thunder Fang. He then used Wild Charge on Pikachu, dealing a lot of damage. Luxray followed up with Swift, but Pikachu was able to deflect it back to Luxray with Iron Tail. However, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon countered with Wild Charge, defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his three-round battle against [[Sawyer]]. He went up against {{p|Bagon}}, although he had a type-disadvantage. Pikachu's speedy Quick Attack was able to outmaneuver Bagon's Headbutt. After Thunderbolt and Dragon Breath collided in a draw, Pikachu jumped into the air and prepared to use Iron Tail. Sawyer had Bagon use Dragon Claw, but it was overpowered by Iron Tail and Pikachu knocked the Rock Head Pokémon out.

In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Pikachu, along with Ash and his friends, visited the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. There, they were tricked by Team Rocket, who separated the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. During a battle against his enemies, Pikachu avoided being recalled into his Poké Ball and hid in one of the vent shafts without them knowing. He then first tried to free Ash and his friends with Iron Tail, but when that failed and Team Rocket discovered him, Pikachu attempted to get the briefcase that held the group's Poké Balls. Meowth then chased after Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, the Team Rocket trio attempted to escape with all the Poké Balls they stole, though in the process of doing so, they saw Ash and Pikachu were after them. Pikachu managed to stop their van with his Thunderbolt and Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one battle, which he accepted. Pikachu managed to defeat his foe despite the Scratch Cat Pokémon attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After Team Rocket got blasted off again, the group was invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Pikachu was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Serena's Eevee]] and Shauna's Ivysaur with Tierno's Blastoise as his partner. Pikachu started the battle by firing an Electro Ball, which was countered by Ivysaur's Energy Ball. Then Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Eevee, but Ivysaur protected Eevee by using Razor Leaf. While Blastoise was struggling with Eevee, Pikachu scored a hit on Ivysaur with Iron Tail. Ivysaur retaliated with Vine Whip, but Pikachu dodged it. The battle was later called off by Serena. Ash and Tierno then decided to battle against each other and Pikachu faced Blastoise. A collision between Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump took place, but the outcome of the battle remains unknown.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', while he wasn't chosen for Ash's Double Battle with [[Olympia]], Pikachu did help Ash keep track of when the {{m|Future Sight}} from Olympia's two {{p|Meowstic}} would strike by using his tail as a makeshift timer. This eventually allowed Frogadier and Talonflame to turn the attack against them, and ultimately win the battle.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', after the gang viewed the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]], Pikachu got pulled into [[Squishy]]'s dream by a {{p|Darkrai}}. In the dream, the group's Pokémon were either in their evolved or pre-evolved form and could speak human language, while humans spoke like Pokémon. Freaked out by this, Pikachu fled and ran into Meowth, who had also been pulled into the dream. Pikachu and Meowth then encountered a talking Squishy. Suddenly a flaming ghost appeared, who attacked them. They eventually managed to escape from it and Squishy then revealed a glimpse of its true strength to Pikachu and Meowth. Pikachu and Meowth tried to help Squishy getting to its home so it could gain this strength. On their way they got attacked by the flaming ghost again and Pikachu decided to battle it. Pikachu's attacks, however, couldn't land, but he was soon aided by the group's Pokémon and together managed to defeat the creature. In the end, Pikachu, Meowth and Squishy were woken by Clemont's invention.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Pikachu partnered up with [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} in a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. Later, Pikachu was used in a Tag Battle along with Serena's Eevee, where he faced James's Inkay and Miette's Slurpuff. Pikachu scored a direct hit on Slurpuff with Quick Attack, who then quickly recovered and fired off an Energy Ball. Pikachu, however, got saved by Eevee's Swift and after dodging a Psybeam from Inkay, he hit the Revolving Pokémon with Iron Tail. Pikachu and Eevee were then forced to jump in order to avoid another Psybeam, but got trapped after landing in Slurpuff's {{m|Cotton Spore}}. Unable to escape, Pikachu and Eevee were vulnerable to Inkay's Psybeam and got hit hard. Pikachu then stepped in and got hit by Inkay's Tackle meant for Eevee. Later, while Eevee struggled to get up, Pikachu continued to battle using Electro Ball and then blocked Slurpuff's Energy Ball with Thunderbolt. After Eevee's Evolution into Sylveon, Sylveon managed to defeat both Inkay and Slurpuff with {{m|Fairy Wind}}, giving Ash and Serena the win.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in another three round battle against Sawyer, where he faced Sawyer's {{p|Honedge}}. Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Honedge's Fury Cutter and then defeated it with a Thunderbolt.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Pikachu was very worried as Ash had left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone, and spent most of the episode trying to find Ash. Eventually, Team Rocket tried to catch Pikachu but when Pikachu tried to fend them off, they were actually underwhelmed by his power, implying that without Ash's friendship motivating him Pikachu was not able to perform as strong as usual. After Ash returned at the end of the episode, an overjoyed Pikachu was able to quickly send Team Rocket blasting off.

In [[XY122|the next episode]], he participated in Ash's rematch against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Bergmite}}. Bergmite was able to move at a high speed by skating on the icy battlefield, allowing it to dodge an incoming Electro Ball. After jumping in the air to avoid Bergmite, Pikachu was hit by its Icy Wind, numbing his legs, slowing him down. As a result, Bergmite was able to easily dodge his Quick Attack, but was then hit from behind by a Thunderbolt. Bergmite then used {{m|Sharpen}}, encasing it in a diamond-shaped block of ice. It then rushed forwards using Rapid Spin, hurling Pikachu into an ice stalactite. Ash then had Pikachu run around to get rid of the numbness in his legs. Now having regained his Speed, Pikachu was able to knock Bergmite over with Quick Attack and hit it with Iron Tail, breaking through the block of ice and defeating it. Next, Pikachu faced Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}}. He immediately scored a hit with Thunderbolt, but Avalugg withstood the attack and retaliated with an extra powerful {{m|Avalanche}}. Avalugg then went after Pikachu using {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Pikachu created a hole in the battlefield with Iron Tail, causing Avalugg to get caught in it, stopping its movements. Avalugg, however, was able to use Stone Edge while spinning and despite Pikachu's attempt to destroy the rocks with Thunderbolt, he was hit hard and got knocked out.

Pikachu was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', where Ash chose him as his third Pokémon in his battle against Sawyer. He was sent out against Sawyer's powerful {{p|Clawitzer}}. Pikachu used the forest battle field to his advantage by climbing into the trees and jump from branch to branch in order to confuse Clawitzer. Despite this, Clawitzer was still able to dodge his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack by launching itself in the air. After dodging an Ice Beam, Pikachu launched an Electro Ball which collided with Clawitzer's Dragon Pulse. Clawitzer then chased after him with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, but Pikachu was able lose it in the forest, allowing him to attack with a surprise Iron Tail. Clawitzer, however, reacted in time and was able to grab Pikachu's tail with its pincer and prepared to launch a {{m|Water Pulse}}. Ash then had Pikachu use Electro Ball to break free from Clawitzer's grip and finish the Howitzer Pokémon off with Thunderbolt. Pikachu then faced Sawyer's next Pokémon, his {{p|Aegislash}}. Pikachu tried to use the forest again, but Aegislash prevented him from doing so by chopping down the trees using {{m|Sacred Sword}}. [[XY128|Continuing their battle]], Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, but Aegislash protected itself from the attack with {{m|King's Shield}}, which also lowered Pikachu's Attack. He was then unable to keep up with Aegislash's fast moves and was hit twice by powerful Sacred Sword attacks. Pikachu then tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but Aegislash once again used King's Shield to protect itself. Ash then noticed that Aegislash had to attach itself to its shield in order to use King's Shield. Using this knowledge, he had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, which caused the chopped down logs to fly up in the air. Pikachu then used its great speed to jump on the logs, confusing Aegislash and avoiding its attacks. As Aegislash tried going for King's Shield again, Pikachu knocked one of the wooden chunks between Aegislash's shield, making it unable to defend itself properly. With his opponent left vulnerable, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to defeat Aegislash. As Sawyer had lost three of his Pokémon the battlefield was changed and Ash decided to recall Pikachu. He was later used again to face [[Sawyer's Sceptile]]. Pikachu started off with a Quick Attack, but Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, throwing him in the air. He, however, was able to break through the leaves and strike Sceptile with Thunderbolt. After a clash between Iron Tail and {{m|Leaf Blade}}, Pikachu was unable to dodge Sceptile's {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and was knocked out.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Pikachu was used as Ash's first Pokémon in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]]. He went up against Alain's {{p|Tyranitar}}, who summoned a {{weather|sandstorm}} upon entering the battlefield due to its {{a|Sand Stream}} Ability which deteriorated Pikachu's sight. Despite this, Pikachu was able to avoid a Dark Pulse. Ash then had Pikachu slam its tail into the field's water stream with Iron Tail to splash the water in the air which cancelled out the sandstorm as well as wetted Tyranitar. This allowed Pikachu to strike Tyranitar with Thunderbolt, dealing major damage due to Tyranitar's wet body. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but Tyranitar blocked the attack with Stone Edge and then proceeded to slam the stone pillars with its tail to send multiple stone shards flying at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, deflected all of the shards with Iron Tail and then used the attack once again to counter Tyranitar's Crunch. Tyranitar, however, threw Pikachu in the air, but he was able to launch an Electro Ball in mid-air which defeated Tyranitar. Pikachu was then recalled. He was later used again to face Alain's Metagross. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Metagross used Agility to dodge the attack and corner Pikachu. Due to this, Pikachu was hit hard by powerful Metal Claw, {{m|Rock Slide}} and Meteor Mash attacks. As Metagross charged another Meteor Mash to finish him off, Pikachu was able to obstruct it with Electro Ball, allowing him to jump on top Metagross. Now he was able to continuously use Thunderbolt, dealing serious damage to the Iron Leg Pokémon. Metagross was eventually able to shake Pikachu off, throwing him in the air, but Pikachu headed downwards and dealt a decisive hit with Iron Tail, knocking Metagross out. Pikachu then faced Alain's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu managed to hit Charizard with a speedy Quick Attack, followed up by a super effective Thunderbolt. The battle continued in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', where Pikachu once again hit Charizard with Thunderbolt. Afterwards Ash ordered him to use Quick Attack, but he was too exhausted to use the attack and ended up getting hit by Charizard's Flamethrower. When Charizard repeated its attack, Pikachu used Iron Tail on the ground to create a shield of dirt to block it. He then used Iron Tail again to intercept Charizard's Dragon Claw, but was overpowered and got knocked out.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', he and Ash went with Alain to go look for [[Mairin]], but once they found her they were obstructed by the giant roots. They were then ambushed by [[Celosia]] before her {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} hit them and knocked Ash unconscious. Pikachu attempted to protect his Trainer but eventually fell to the Confuse Ray's effects as well and passed out. Pikachu, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was then taken captive by [[Lysandre]] on the top of Prism Tower. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. Alain's Charizard broke him and the other Pokémon free with Dragon Claw, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and Shiny Mega Gyarados together. During the battle, Pikachu and Goodra combined their Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse to defend against {{p|Pyroar}} and Gyarados's {{m|Incinerate}}. After {{AP|Hawlucha}} was able to hit Pyroar with a super-effective {{m|Karate Chop}}, Pikachu manages to defeat the Royal Pokémon with Thunderbolt. [[XY134|Continuing the battle]], Pikachu and Noivern fired off their Thunderbolt and {{m|Boomburst}} which were countered by Gyarados's Hyper Beam. Pikachu was then targeted by a Dragon Tail, but Noivern pushed him aside, taking the attack in his place which knocked Noivern out. In the end, Pikachu, Greninja and Charizard were the only ones left facing Lysandre's Gyarados, although now aided by [[Malva]]'s Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', where Pikachu hit Gyarados with Quick Attack after avoiding its Hyper Beam and then finished it off with a Thunderbolt.

Pikachu later helped Serena's Braixen, [[Steven's Metagross]] and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. He, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the creature's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Gym Leaders of Kalos and Diantha. After strategizing, in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save [[Chespie]], bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Giant Rock, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Pikachu, Greninja and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock. In [[XY137|the next episode]], Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against Serena and her Braixen. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as he was able to hit Braixen with a speedy Quick Attack and break through her defenses with Iron Tail before hitting her with a second one. After dodging a Flamethrower, he clashed with Braixen's Scratch using his Iron Tail, knocking both Pokémon back. Braixen was then able to use Fire Blast, successfully hitting Pikachu. The battle was then called off by Ash.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Pikachu had to say goodbye to Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and their Pokémon, since he and Ash would soon return to Kanto. While everyone said their goodbyes, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} ran off since he didn't want the group to split apart. Using his electricity, Pikachu and the group were able to find Dedenne and calm it down. After Serena had departed, Pikachu participated in one final battle between Ash and Clemont, in which he faced Clemont's Bunnelby, just like in their first batttle. During the battle, both Pokémon's moves proved to be equal in power, but the end result of the battle was left unknown. Ash and Pikachu then separated from Clemont and Bonnie, and finally arrived in Pallet Town.

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
Pikachu joined Ash and Delia on a vacation to the [[Alola]] region in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. On their way to the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], Pikachu and Ash followed a wild {{p|Grubbin}} into a forest, where the two noticed {{an|Kiawe|a Trainer}} riding a {{p|Charizard}}. They followed him and arrived at the Pokémon School, where they met some of the school's students as well as {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Oak's cousin, [[Samson Oak]]. Ash later used Pikachu to battle a trio of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who were harassing Kiawe, and their trio of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Salandit}}, and {{p|Yungoos}}. Pikachu was able to dodge their Salandit's attacks with ease and seriously damage them with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Kiawe then had his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} which knocked [[Team Skull]]'s Pokémon out in one shot. That evening, Pikachu and Ash followed {{DL|List of recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deity]] of Melemele Island, who handed Ash a [[Z-Ring]] and an [[Electrium Z]]. Pikachu remained in Alola with Ash, when he decided to study at the Pokémon School.

In [[SM002|the next episode]], Ash's classmates had a surprise welcome party for him, where he and Pikachu participated in several challenges. During their lunch break, Tapu Koko appeared again and stole Ash's hat, prompting Ash and his classmates to follow it. Arriving in a forest, Tapu Koko challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle. Pikachu was overwhelmed by Tapu Koko's fast moves and despite Electric Terrain being created by Tapu Koko's Ability {{a|Electric Surge}}, Pikachu's Thunderbolt didn't faze it. Tapu Koko then tapped Ash's Z-Ring, activating it and allowing Pikachu to perform {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}, which destroyed a large part of the area but also caused Ash's Electrium Z to shatter. Afterwards, Tapu Koko flew off again.

In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside {{AP|Rowlet}}, he first fought a Yungoos and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Pikachu and Rowlet's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using Rowlet's {{m|Leafage}}, allowing Pikachu to knock Gumshoos out with Iron Tail, while Rowlet defeated Yungoos. Afterwards, Pikachu and Rowlet had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. This Gumshoos proved to be extremely powerful, being able to endure Pikachu's Thunderbolt and knock him to the ground, after which it defeated Rowlet. After his Electro Ball got redirected by Sand Attack, Pikachu was hit hard once again. Pikachu then used Gumshoos's Sand Attack against it by hiding in the sand while using Quick Attack, allowing him confuse and repeatedly attack Gumshoos before finishing it off with a Thunderbolt. This win earned Ash a [[Normalium Z]].

Pikachu was used as Ash's final Pokémon in his battle against [[Hala]] during the Melemele Island grand trial in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''. He faced Hala's {{p|Hariyama}}, who was able to block his attacks using its big hands and hit him afterwards. While repeatedly getting hit by Hariyama's {{m|Arm Thrust}}, Pikachu eventually managed to slip past Hariyama and strike it with Thunderbolt. Hariyama, however, was not fazed by this attack and proceeded to use {{m|Belly Drum}}, maximizing its Attack but also halving its health. Pikachu then used Quick Attack in an attempt to dodge Hariyama's Z-Move {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}, but was ultimately hit by the attack. After getting up, Pikachu circled around Hariyama using Quick Attack and managed to knock it off its feet using Iron Tail. Ash used this opportunity to have Pikachu perform {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, which sent Hariyama flying and knocked it out. Having cleared the Melemele Island grand trial, Ash was rewarded a new Electrium Z.

In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Ash and Pikachu trained for a rematch against Tapu Koko. The next day, the two were greeted by Tapu Koko again and were challenged to another battle. Unlike their last battle, Pikachu managed get a few hits on the guardian deity, but was eventually struck by its powerful attacks. Ash and Pikachu showed their improvements by performing Gigavolt Havoc, which was this time powerful enough to sent Tapu Koko flying. A clash between Pikachu and Tapu Koko, however, blasted the former off a cliff, prompting Ash to jump after him. The two were saved in time by Tapu Koko, who flew off afterwards.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', Professor Kukui tasked everyone with switching their partner Pokémon with somebody else. As a result, Pikachu was given to {{an|Lillie}}, whilst [[Snowy]] went to Ash. Because of her fear of Pokémon, Lillie decided to have a battle with [[Hobbes]] and his {{p|Oricorio}} to help conquer her fear where despite her lack of battle experience, Lillie was able to defeat Oricorio and was able to touch Pikachu. Ash then proposed a battle against Lillie and Pikachu, to show them how strong he and Snowy had gotten together.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Misty in which he battled her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. The two started with a collision of Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then rushed towards Gyarados and scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, sending Gyarados flying. Pikachu then started charging up Electro Ball as Gyarados used {{m|Rain Dance}}, confusing everyone. Ash told Pikachu to ignore the rain and attack. Gyarados, however, countered with a Rain Dance powered Hurricane, which destroyed the Electro Ball and sent Pikachu flying. Deciding it was time to get serious, Misty revealed her [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Gyarados into Mega Gyarados. Gyarados launched a Hydro Pump that destroyed the rock Pikachu was standing on and sent him flying into the water. Not letting up, Gyarados tried to attack Pikachu with Crunch, but was struck by Iron Tail after Pikachu managed to climb onto its body. Gyarados then dove underwater and used Hurricane, creating a cyclone of water around Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to break it, but failed. Ash soon came up with the idea to have Pikachu run on Thunderbolt's electricity with Quick Attack, allowing Pikachu to escape from the cyclone. The two then preformed their Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc, which hit Gyarados head on, defeating it and giving Ash the win.

During Ash and his classmates' travels in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Pikachu fought Lusamine, who had been fused with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}. Eventually, Pikachu and Ash prepared to perform Gigavolt Havoc, until Ash's Electrium Z mysteriously turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]]. This allowed the two to perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for the first time; the Z-Move defeated Nihilego, weakening it enough for Lillie and {{an|Gladion}} to pull Lusamine free from its hold.

In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his trial battle at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, where he battled Team Rocket and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Mimikyu's barrage of attacks, eventually leaving him open for Mimikyu's Z-Move, {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. However, Pikachu was able to survive the attack by protecting itself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. Using his new move, Pikachu was also able to trap Mimikyu, which allowed him and Ash to perform a Z-Move of their own. Ash's Electrium Z then turned into a Pikashunium Z again, allowing Pikachu to use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt once more and defeat Mimikyu. This allowed Ash to qualify for a chance to challenge [[Nanu]]'s grand trial.

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' and ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
It was revealed that Pikachu also loves drinking orange juice, most likely because of its sourness in ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]''.

During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships.

[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in a bad mood]]
In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Metagross}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second of Ash's Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating [[Brandon's legendary titans#Regice|Brandon's Regice]] to win the Brave Symbol. He later fought {{si|Tobias}}'s Latios to a draw in [[DP189|the semi-finals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but it smacked the stone away with his tail, choosing to become stronger as it is, and defeated Raichu using its superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] a Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were evenly matched, until Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve, and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed and spinning techniques learned from {{an|Dawn}}. In the interim, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also liked Pikachu to stay as he is.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having a type advantage with Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, Panpour, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior. In addition, Pikachu tends to struggle when his mobility is hindered, such as when the aforementioned Panpour weakened Volt Tackle with {{m|Mud Sport}}, or when his legs were numbed by [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Bergmite}} and its {{m|Icy Wind}}, preventing him from using Quick Attack.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu and Dawn Piplup.png|thumb|left|250px|Pikachu walking along Dawn's Piplup]]
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Pikachu is always becoming a constant target whenever he gets captured by Team Rocket. Sometimes, they succeed with nets, cages, capsules or different devices, but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket blasting off with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Most of time in this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he didn't get stolen. On other occasions, he battles them with Ash.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into Volt Tackle which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves, in which Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball, which it learned while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

===Pikachu's imitations===
Pikachu has demonstrated a great talent for mimicking Pokémon, altering the look of his physical features to match another Pokémon's appearance. He will occasionally use this talent to specify what Pokémon or person he is talking about. These imitation skills were notably put to use during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], where Pikachu was able to thrill the audience without the need for a costume or make-up.

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," but this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in [[SS028]].
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from [[Professor Oak]] after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at [[Mt. Silver]], and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

{{bulbanews/3|Cap Pikachu, Pikashunium Z to be available in Japan|I Choose You Cap Pikachu to appear in Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon|Ash hat Pikachu distribution announced for American, PAL region games}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and were distributed in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot evolve. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

In Japan, the Pikachu were distributed via single-use [[serial code]] to those who pre-ordered tickets to the 20th movie, with one code per ticket. The Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeemed the code. The codes only worked on Japanese region games. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

In American, PAL, and Taiwanese region games, the Pikachu were distributed through a single-use public serial code released via the Pokémon website and in a similar vein to the Japanese event—the Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeems the code. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

A seventh Cap Pikachu, wearing the hat Ash wears in [[M20|the twentieth movie]], debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attend screenings of the 20th movie.

{{bulbanews/2|I Choose You Cap Pikachu to appear in Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon|Ash hat Pikachu distribution announced for American, PAL region games}}
This Pikachu was distributed exclusively for [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] to players who scanned a QR Code.

The Taiwanese region QR Code [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon-cn.com/usum/tc/campaign_171102_01.html was available] on [http://www.pokemon.com.tw/Movie20/tc.html Pokémon.com.tw] in conjunction with the airings of ''I Choose You!'' in Taiwan.

The Korean region QR Code [http://www.pokemonkorea.co.kr/m20/notice_1?id=6c25b98a47d80f16957de96b6a2a1549dd5cb9ea51ae7df3bcfc8d5e6087d99ffc8cb3859e7f1564e9265300de68c9031e86b6af1f2c5786dc07f994c4a4ad6b was given away] to players who attended ''I Choose You!''.

This Pikachu is based on Ash's Pikachu as it appears in ''I Choose You!''.

{{main|Pikachu (05-01)}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Surfing Pikachu BW087.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu {{DL|Pikachu variants|Surfing Pikachu|surfing}}]]
[[File:Pikachu as female Pikachu.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu disguised as a female]]
* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this Pokémon senryū about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', it was officially confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]], as a female {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Attract}} affected him. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (Pikachu was shown when the narrator said that males had to carry packages), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every Gym battle in [[Johto|a region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.
* As Pikachu hates being in his [[Poké Ball]], it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only six confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', and ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the signature {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of the [[Pokémon anime]], and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} obtained on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], given to him by {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===[[Original series]]===
====Kanto====
[[File:Ash Pikachu EP001.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu's debut appearance]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, {{an|Professor Oak}} gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well, and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to [[Viridian City]] in order to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had been badly injured during the fight.

[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|220px|Pikachu and Ash meeting for the first time]]
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time.

Pikachu participated in Ash's first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again, who was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric-type attacks dealt quite some damage. However, despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu. As Ash was about to forfeit again, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} managed to turn on the Gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and he decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]
Pikachu's next major battle was in Ash's [[Vermilion Gym]] battle against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. [[Lt. Surge]] laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu started off using {{m|Thunder Shock}} which seemed to do nothing to Raichu. Raichu then used its own Thunder Shock, which was much more powerful than Pikachu's attack, and dealt much more damage. Following advice from Brock, Ash tried recalling Pikachu in order to forfeit. However, Pikachu was determined to defeat Raichu, and therefore, kept fighting. While trying to attack, Pikachu got overwhelmed by Raichu's {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} and was finally defeated by a powerful Thunderbolt. Due to all the damage he had taken during the battle, Pikachu had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with a [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms.

Later, Ash challenged Lt. Surge to a rematch, where Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Trying to get close, Pikachu got hammered to the ground by Raichu's tail, followed up by repeating hits from its tail. Raichu then hit him hard with {{m|Body Slam}}. As Raichu was about to finish him off with another Body Slam, Pikachu managed to get up and dodge it. Ash soon found out from Brock that since Raichu was evolved so early, it did not learn any of the moves that it could only learn as a Pikachu, such as {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Through his use of these moves, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand and dodge Raichu's attacks. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack that Lt. Surge was sure could defeat Pikachu. Pikachu, however, used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock. Raichu tried using Thunderbolt again but due to its previous attack it had run out of electricity. It then tried to hit Pikachu with a {{m|Take Down}}, but was outsped by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu then used his tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder}}.

In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle against [[Sabrina's Abra]] during Ash's [[Saffron Gym]] battle. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Abra then suddenly evolved into Kadabra, making it much stronger. Pikachu tried filling the battlefield with lightning to prevent Kadabra from using Teleport, but Kadabra countered with {{m|Confusion}} to send the attack back to Pikachu. Kadabra then used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and started to repeatedly smash him into the ceiling and back down. Unwilling to see his friend suffer even more, Ash forfeited the match.
In Ash's rematch with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu selflessly fought Kadabra, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Pikachu used Thunder Shock, which Kadabra avoided using Teleport. After taking a hit from Kadabra's {{m|Psybeam}}, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt which dealt major damage to Kadabra. Kadabra, however, quickly used {{m|Recover}}, negating the damage it had taken. At that moment, Haunter appeared, and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh. As both Sabrina and Kadabra were unable to continue the battle, Ash was declared the winner by [[Sabrina's father]] which earned him the {{badge|Marsh}}.

In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Pikachu entered the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] with {{AP|Squirtle}}. The two were at a significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs, and Pikachu's comparative weight, but in a way, this helped as they managed to escape an {{p|Electrode}} self-destructing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, {{an|Misty}} and [[Dario]]. However, intervention from Team Rocket forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu, which was a very rare encounter. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first, but soon began to feel sad, because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. However, Pikachu refused to leave Ash, and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Pikachu was borrowed by Misty, so she could use him in the {{DL|Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest}}, where he was seen defeating a {{p|Fearow}}. In the finals, Pikachu was Misty's first Pokémon used against [[Jessie]]. Pikachu easily managed to defeat Arbok, {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{MTR}} in succession with a single Thunder Shock. Pikachu then faced [[Jessie's Lickitung]]. He tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but was then licked by Lickitung and knocking him out.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his seventh Gym battle at the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Pikachu used his quickness to dodge Rhydon's {{m|Fury Attack}} and then used Thunderbolt, which was ineffective. Despite being immune to Electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]]. Pikachu tried dodging Magmar's {{m|Fire Punch}} the same way he had dodged Rhydon's Fury Attack, but got hit. Pikachu then tried hitting Magmar with an Electric-type attack, but it proved to be ineffective due to Magmar's Air Lens ability, which heated the air surrounding Magmar, making Electric-type attacks ineffective. Magmar then attacked with a series of Fire Punches, driving Pikachu to the edge of the battlefield. Magmar then unleashed its {{m|Fire Blast}}, which managed to push Pikachu further back, and almost caused him to fall off the battlefield in the lava. Seeing that, Ash then decided to forfeit the match.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all the opposing Pokémon at once, causing {{p|Machamp}}, Rhydon and {{p|Kingler}} to run away in fear, and defeating Arbok and Weezing. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Ash got his eighth Gym Badge, the {{badge|Earth}}.

Pikachu made friends with another Pikachu, [[nickname|named]] [[Puka]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]" This particular Pikachu had blue eyes, and was an excellent surfer. Ash and his friends had to save both Pikachu when Team Rocket tried to steal them both using their submarine.

Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu fought against [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}. Pikachu started off using Agility to confuse Arcanine, but this strategy was countered by Arcanine, who melted the ice field using its Fire Blast, causing to whole battlefield to become one big pool of water. Pikachu, however, used this to his advantage by using the water to conduct his electricity and managed to defeat Arcanine with a powerful Thunderbolt.

In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he fought against [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Pikachu tried using Thunder Shock, but Bellsprout dodged and used {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Managing to avoid Razor Leaf, Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was ineffective since Bellsprout used its roots to conduct the electricity to the ground. Pikachu then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Bellsprout, but despite trying his best, he was easily defeated by the skilled Pokémon's {{m|Slam}}.

Pikachu later faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to participate in the battle. Pikachu started off with {{m|Double-Edge}}, knocking Happy to the ground. As Happy tried flying up, he held on to it, and defeated the Butterfly Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. He then faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Zippo's {{m|Flamethrower}} and was knocked out by its {{m|Tackle}}.

In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with some of his other Pokémon, to the [[Orange Archipelago]] with him.

====Orange Archipelago====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] used a {{p|Drowzee}} to take over the minds of many Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]], including Pikachu. In order to rescue the Pokémon, Ash taunted Pikachu into using Thunderbolt on him, which also hit the machine that Drowzee was wired to, freeing all of the Pokémon from its control.

In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Ash called Pikachu to help mold a block of ice into a sled, as part of his competition against [[Danny]]. He later rode in the sled along with his Bulbasaur and Squirtle in a race against Danny and his team. In the end, Ash managed to win the coveted {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against [[Lorelei]]{{tt|*|Referred to as Prima in the dub}} of the [[Elite Four]], where he faced her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Cloyster used {{m|Withdraw}} to protect itself from the attack. Pikachu then used Agility, but got pushed back by Cloyster's {{m|Reflect}}. He then managed to hit Cloyster with a super-effective {{m|Thunder}}, but Cloyster was still standing. After using {{m|Rage}} to increase its {{stat|Attack}}, Cloyster stopped Pikachu's Quick Attack with {{m|Aurora Beam}}, and knocked him out with Take Down.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Pikachu participated in the first part of Ash's battle with [[Rudy]], using his Thunderbolt to blast targets. He then faced off against Rudy's {{p|Electabuzz}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Electabuzz absorbed the attack. He and Electabuzz then both used Quick Attack, but Electabuzz was able to overpower him. Pikachu then got defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}.

[[File:PikaMeowthOffer.png|thumb|230px|right|Pikachu offering {{MTR}} an apple]]
In [[EP104|the following episode]], Team Rocket had a plan to capture Pikachu that involved tying him up with Meowth. This succeeded at first, but Meowth and Pikachu got separated from Jessie and [[James]]. Being lost on the island, the two Pokémon had to work together to defeat powerful Pokémon, and get to safety. In the end, Ash, Misty and {{Tracey}} managed to find the duo first, and separated them from each other.

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where he had to fight alongside {{AP|Charizard}}. Despite both Pokémon being eager to battle, they started getting angry at each other, right before the battle affecting their teamwork negatively. Charizard tried hitting {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} with Flamethrower, while Pikachu dashed forward. Alakazam and Marowak managed to dodge the Flamethrower, causing it to hit Pikachu. As Charizard went for Tackle, Alakazam stopped him using Psychic. Seeing how Charizard got continuously attacked by Alakazam and Marowak, Pikachu decided to help his partner and attacked Alakazam, freeing Charizard from Psychic's grasp. Pikachu then got hit by Marowak's Body Slam, but got caught by Charizard's wing. Now finally being able to work together, Pikachu jumped on Charizard's back and used Thunderbolt to stop Marowak after dodging its {{m|Bonemerang}}. As Alakazam was about to unleash its {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Charizard, it got hit by Marowak's Bonemerang, causing Hyper Beam to be launched at Marowak, knocking both Pokémon out. This gave Ash the victory, winning him the {{badge|Jade Star}} and allowing him to enter the [[Orange League]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, where he faced off against Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Despite Ditto being able to copy Pikachu's attacks, it wasn't in good shape as Pikachu was. After continuously exchanging attacks, Pikachu managed to defeat it. Pikachu was then recalled when Drake sent out his {{p|Onix}}. [[EP112|Later]], Pikachu faced off against Drake's powerful {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, who had already defeated three of Ash's Pokémon. Pikachu headed towards Dragonite using Agility, but got knocked back by Dragonite's tail. Dragonite then attacked with Hyper Beam, but Pikachu managed to jump on Dragonite's head by using his tail as a spring board to dodge the attack, and finally defeat it with a powerful Thunder, earning Ash the [[Winner's Trophy]] and a spot in the [[Orange League Hall of Fame]].

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Gary's Eevee]]. Pikachu started off with Quick Attack, but Eevee used Reflect to block the attack. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Eevee dodged the attack using {{m|Double Team}}. Eevee then switched to offense and dashed forward using Take Down. Pikachu, however, dodged this using Agility, and prepared to use Thunder. Before he was able to launch his attack, however, Eevee managed to hit him with a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}, knocking him out. Later in the episode, Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to [[Johto]] with him.

====Johto====
In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle against {{an|Casey}}, where he faced her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}}. Despite Casey having only recently obtained {{p|Chikorita}}, it quickly gained the upper hand. Chikorita first used its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to tranquilize Pikachu, and followed up with a Tackle. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was then deflected by Chikorita's leaf, and afterwards was hit by Tackle again. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal their Pokémon. Their plan failed however, when Pikachu and Chikorita were reunited with their Trainers, and teamed up to defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's [[Violet Gym]] battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Hoothoot}}. Pikachu used Agility to avoid getting hit by Hoothoot's Tackle. Hoothoot tried flying up to get out Pikachu's range, but Pikachu was still able to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt, and then finished Hoothoot off with a Quick Attack. He then faced Falkner's {{p|Dodrio}}. Both Pokémon started off using Agility, matching each other's speed. Pikachu then went for Thunderbolt, but Dodrio used its great jumping ability to dodge the attack. It then hit Pikachu hard with Fury Attack, followed up by {{m|Drill Peck}}. When Dodrio was about to finish him off with {{m|Tri Attack}}, Pikachu jumped high in the air, and unleashed a super-effective Thunder, defeating Dodrio. Pikachu then briefly faced Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, but as he was already tired from his previous matches, he was quickly defeated by a {{m|Whirlwind}}.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Tackle. Although Pikachu dodged it, it created a dust cloud and used the leaves of a nearby tree to make it unable to spot. Pikachu, however, managed to spot Metapod by using his hearing, and after dodging a series of Tackles with Agility, Pikachu managed to jump on Metapod's back and defeat it with Thunderbolt. He then went up against Bugsy's last, and most powerful Pokémon, {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}. Despite Pikachu having the [[Type|type-advantage]], his Thunderbolt attacks constantly missed, because of {{p|Scyther}} using Double Team. The real Scyther appeared behind Pikachu, and hit him with {{m|Fury Cutter}}. With each Fury Cutter doubling in power, Pikachu was knocked out.

In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Pikachu was used to battle Misty for the ownership of {{AP|Totodile}}. He went up against {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Pikachu, however, did not want to hurt his friend, therefore forfeited the match by running away.

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Pikachu faced off against [[Whitney]]'s powerful {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}, who had already easily defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] and Totodile using {{m|Rollout}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Miltank since she got wet by Totodile's {{m|Water Gun}}. However, due to Miltank spinning at great speed, she had already dried up, making Thunderbolt useless. Pikachu then tried attacking with Agility, but he got overpowered by Miltank's Rollout, and was then defeated by another one, causing Ash to lose the battle.

In [[EP159|the following episode]], Pikachu battled Miltank again in Ash's rematch against Whitney. First Ash had Cyndaquil tire out Miltank, and then had Totodile create ditches in the ground to slow her down. Thanks to this strategy, Miltank lost her balance, giving Pikachu the opportunity to throw Miltank in the air by hiding in one of the ditches, and then finish her off with a Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Plain}}.

In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Pikachu and Ash entered the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. The two encountered a {{p|Weedle}}, but before Pikachu could attack it, Casey's Chikorita intervened, and Casey caught the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Later, Ash and Pikachu chased after a Scyther, but accidentally disturbed a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} in the process. Pikachu managed to shock one of the Beedrill with Thunderbolt, giving Ash the chance to catch it. With this capture, Ash managed to win the contest, winning him a [[Sun Stone]].

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his Pokémon to assist him in the [[Seaking Catching Day]]. After Ash managed to reel in a {{p|Seaking}}, Pikachu weakened it with Thunderbolt so Ash could catch it.

Pikachu befriended a bunch of {{p|Pichu}} in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]''. At first they framed Pikachu into eating apples, while they were the ones who actually ate them. When the Pichu were attacked by a Fearow, Pikachu sent a Thunderbolt warning shot to Fearow, which scared him off. Later Pikachu's electricity was sucked away by Team Rocket, and got kidnapped. The Pichu eventually managed to restore Pikachu's electricity, and together they blasted Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Morty]], where he faced off against Morty's {{p|Gastly}}. Pikachu managed to hit Gastly with a Quick Attack after Ash had {{AP|Noctowl}} use {{m|Foresight}} earlier in the match. Despite this, Gastly used its great speed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt, and defeated him with a single {{m|Night Shade}}.

In ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Chuck]]. Pikachu battled Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}, and managed to hit it with a super-effective Thunderbolt. Despite this, Poliwrath was still standing, and after absorbing a Quick Attack with its muscled body, it hit Pikachu with a series of powerful {{m|Double Slap}} attacks, knocking him out.

In ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', Ash sent out Pikachu to battle Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Both Pokémon proved to be equal in speed by constantly dodging each other's attacks. Finally, Ash decided to let Pikachu take a {{m|Thunder Wave}} from Magnemite, so Magnemite could get hit by a Thunderbolt, causing a lot of damage. After dodging another attack from Magnemite, Pikachu finished it off with a Quick Attack, crashing it into a wall. Next, Pikachu faced off against Jasmine's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Due to his previous battle against Magnemite, Pikachu was tired and was quickly defeated by a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}}.

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In the following episode, ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who already had defeated Ash's Cyndaquil. Due to the icy field, Pikachu constantly slipped, which caused his Agility to be ineffective, and almost unable to avoid Piloswine's attacks. Ash then got the idea to use the ice pillars to change Pikachu's direction while sliding on the ice. Using this tactic, Pikachu gained a big amount of speed, and slid under Piloswine, giving him the opportunity to hit Piloswine hard with Thunder. Piloswine then started to use {{m|Rest}} in order to return back to full health. Pikachu tried to finish it off with a Quick Attack, but was too late and got hit hard by a Take Down. Pikachu was still able to battle, and countered Piloswine's next Take Down with a Quick Attack, and hit it with Thunder. This caused the ice under Piloswine to break, which caused Piloswine to fall into the water. Then, Pikachu hit Piloswine with Thunderbolt, which caused massive damage due to Piloswine's wet fur. Despite this, Piloswine was still standing and constantly hit Pikachu with Fury Attack. Seeing no other option to escape, Pikachu used a close-range Thunder causing a massive explosion. Pikachu got knocked down while Piloswine still seemed to be able to battle. Refusing to give up, Pikachu still managed to stand up, and as he was about to attack again, [[Pryce]] threw in the towel resulting into a T.K.O., giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Glacier}}.

In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Clair]], sending him out against her {{p|Kingdra}}. Unaware of Kingdra's {{t|Dragon|secondary type}}, Ash had Pikachu go for Thunderbolt. To Ash's surprise, Kingdra easily took the attack. Pikachu then tried dodging Kingdra's {{m|Twister}}, but as Kingdra was able to control the direction of the attack, Pikachu was caught in the tornado. Pikachu then went for Thunder, but also this Electric-type move left Kingdra unscathed. After a collision between, {{m|Hydro Pump}} and Thunderbolt, Pikachu managed to dodge several blasts of Hydro Pump, before hitting Kingdra with Quick Attack. However, after seeing that [[physical move]]s didn't work either, Ash followed Misty and Brock's advice to recall Pikachu. Their battle was later stopped due to Team Rocket's theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. In [[EP253|the following episode]], Pikachu helped stop the rampage of a {{p|Dragonite}} that belonged to the old [[Blackthorn Gym]] Leader.

In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's last Johto Gym battle against Clair, where he faced her {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite the double type-advantage, Gyarados proved to be quite a match for Pikachu, using its {{m|Dragon Breath}} to block Pikachu's Electric-type attacks. After getting hit by a Hydro Pump, Pikachu got wrapped by Gyarados. This, however, allowed Pikachu to hit Gyarados hard with a Thunderbolt. Gyarados quickly managed to recover the attack, and launched a barrage of {{m|Bite}} attacks, causing Pikachu to get cornered. As Clair was ready to finish the battle with a close-range Hydro Pump, Ash had Pikachu use Agility to get onto Gyarados's Hydro Pump, and defeated the Atrocious Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle Pikachu, who managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knocked him out with a point-blank Hyper Beam.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Pikachu was used by Ash in the Athlete's Round of the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Salvador]] and his {{p|Furret}}. Furret proved to be a tough opponent by repeatedly using {{m|Dig}} to confuse, and attack Pikachu. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab onto Furret's back, and as it dove back into one of its holes, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt, and finally finished the match with a Quick Attack.

Pikachu was used again in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where he faced off against [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}. Azumarill started off using Water Gun, but Pikachu evaded this attack using Quick Attack, and reversed it to hit Azumarill, which it nearly dodged. After a collision of Thunderbolt and {{m|Bubble Beam}}, Pikachu got hit by {{m|Icy Wind}}. Azumarill then hit Pikachu with Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to hold on his tail, and launched a super-effective Thunder, knocking out Azumarill. Next, Pikachu went up against Jackson's [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Magneton}}. After exchanging hits from each other's Thunderbolt, Magneton dodged Pikachu's Quick Attack, and stunned Pikachu with Thunder Wave, before defeating him with Tri Attack.

In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{jo|Harrison}}. Pikachu battled Harrison's {{p|Kecleon}}, which used its {{a|Color Change}} [[Ability]] to hide itself in the tall grass while hitting Pikachu with its tongue. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab Kecleon's tongue, and defeated it with Thunderbolt. Harrison then sent out his {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}. Sneasel managed to avoid Pikachu's Thunderbolt using its speed, and defeated him with a single {{m|Metal Claw}}.

After saying farewell to Misty and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash decided to only take Pikachu with him to [[Hoenn]], and left [[Pallet Town]] with him at the end of the episode. In [[EP274|the following episode]], while getting ready to depart for Hoenn by ship, Ash and Pikachu got attacked by Team Rocket, who used an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to it, and drain his electricity. Eventually, thanks to some wild Pokemon, and Officer Jenny, Pikachu was saved. The next day, Ash tried to wake Pikachu up, but soon noticed that he was suffering from a severe illness caused by the electromagnet that Team Rocket used to capture him.

==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Hoenn====
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash was willing to get Pikachu some help regarding taking care of the illness. He met up with [[Professor Birch]], who took Pikachu to his lab. Even though they were able to strap him to the machine to drain out the overload electricity he received, the machine exploded as the electricity levels were too high. Pikachu then ran off, with Ash and Professor Birch chasing after him. Eventually, Ash managed to find Pikachu, but in his confused state, Pikachu attacked him, and fled towards the end of a cliff. As Pikachu fell off the cliff, Ash fearlessly jumped after him, and managed to catch him, and grab a branch. Pikachu tried resisting, but Ash was able to get through, and calm him down. When Ash and Pikachu were pulled up to safety, Team Rocket arrived. Their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] accidentally cured Pikachu of his illness, and he was able to blast them off, destroying {{an|May}}'s bike in the process.

In ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]'', Ash used Pikachu in an unofficial 1-on-1 battle against [[Norman]], since Ash only had one Pokémon at the time instead of the three required. Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}} proved to be a tough opponent, dodging Pikachu's attacks with ease, and hitting him hard with multiple {{m|Scratch}} attacks. Pikachu managed to successfully hit Vigoroth with Quick Attack, but Vigoroth hit him again, and defeated him with one final Scratch. After their match, Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu and Vigoroth, but accidentally stole {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later Pikachu was used alongside Norman's Vigoroth to battle Team Rocket, and blasted them off in addition to rescuing Torchic.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Ash began teaching Pikachu Iron Tail in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle, a {{type|Rock}} Gym, and got help from a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named {{an|Chaz}} and his {{p|Sentret}}. Despite their effort and training, Pikachu was still unable to fully master Iron Tail.

In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Roxanne]], where he was sent out against her {{p|Geodude}}. Pikachu started off using Thunder to flatten the rocky battlefield. Geodude countered with {{m|Rock Throw}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge using Quick Attack, only to end up right in front of Geodude. This gave Geodude the chance to hit him hard with a Mega Punch. As Geodude used Rollout to finish Pikachu off, it got stuck and couldn’t execute its attack because of the flattened battlefield. Pikachu used this opportunity to get close using Quick Attack, and hit Geodude with a powerful Thunder, defeating it.
Pikachu then faced [[Roxanne's Nosepass]]. Pikachu started off using Iron Tail, which managed to successfully hit Nosepass. After dodging Nosepass’s attack, Pikachu went for a second Iron Tail, but failed this time. Nosepass then used {{m|Rock Tomb}} to trap Pikachu, but he managed to break free using Thunder. Nosepass then countered with {{m|Sandstorm}}, deteriorating Pikachu’s sight. However, Nosepass was able to sense Pikachu using its electromagnetic nose, and managed to slam its body into him. Nosepass then tried to stomp on Pikachu, but he managed to avoid it by using Quick Attack. After using Quick Attack again to dodge Nosepass’s Rock Tomb, Pikachu used Quick Attack to run around Nosepass in order to confuse it. He was able to get behind Nosepass, and used Iron Tail, only to fail once again. Nosepass then went for Thunder Wave, which Pikachu barely avoided. Ash then had Pikachu charge towards Nosepass and let him take its {{m|Zap Cannon}}, causing Pikachu to absorb the electricity. Pikachu then tackled Nosepass, releasing the electricity at Nosepass, causing it to become {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}. Pikachu defeated Nosepass with one final Iron Tail, finally mastering the move in the process, as well as earning Ash the {{badge|Stone}}.

In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash and his friends arrived at [[Mauville City]] and immediately proceeded to the [[Mauville Gym]]. Inside the group encountered a robot {{p|Raikou}}. Thinking it would attack, Ash ordered Pikachu to attack the robot with Iron Tail, causing an explosion. This destroyed the robot, but also overcharged Pikachu with electricity, unbeknownst to the rest, however. Later, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his Gym Battle against [[Wattson]]. Pikachu first faced Wattson's Magnemite. Due to being overcharged, Pikachu defeated Magnemite with a single Thunderbolt after dodging a {{m|Swift}} attack. Next, Pikachu battled Wattson's {{p|Voltorb}} and also managed to easily defeat it with another Thunderbolt. Getting agitated, Wattson sent out his Magneton and ordered it to use Zap Cannon. Pikachu easily managed to overpower this attack with Thunder, which also knocked Magneton out, earning Ash the {{badge|Dynamo}}.

In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Lavaridge Gym]] battle. He was sent out against [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}}, after it had {{status|Burn|burned}} {{AP|Treecko}}, and put {{AP|Corphish}} to {{status|Sleep}}. After using Quick Attack to dodge Flamethrower, he finally broke {{p|Magcargo}}'s Reflect that was affecting previous battles. Then, Slugma used {{m|Smog}} to cover itself. Pikachu, however, was able to sense it, and used Iron Tail. Slugma managed to dodge, and hit him with a Flamethrower. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt and although it looked like it initially missed, it electrified the Smog, harming Slugma. Flannery called for {{m|Yawn}}, but Ash unwilling for that to happen, had Pikachu use Quick Attack, hitting it before Yawn could be executed, and then finished Slugma off with Thunder. Ash kept Pikachu in when Flannery used her last Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was blocked by {{m|Iron Defense}}. Then, Pikachu dodged a Flamethrower and used Iron Tail, but it was blocked by Iron Defense as well. Torkoal then used {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which hit Pikachu. Pikachu tried attacking with Thunder, but his attack was blocked by Iron Defense once again. Torkoal then used {{m|Overheat}} to defeat Pikachu.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against Norman. He went up against {{p|Slakoth}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack on Slakoth, which was avoided. After dodging a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Pikachu used Iron Tail, only to be dodged as well, dazing Pikachu. Slakoth then used {{m|Hidden Power}}, which Pikachu tried to destroy the attack with Thunderbolt, but failed and was hit by the circling Hidden Power. Pikachu tried hitting Slakoth with Thunder, but this was dodged as well. Slakoth then countered with {{m|Blizzard}}, disabling Pikachu to move. Being unable to move, Pikachu was recalled. Later, Pikachu was sent out against Norman's Vigoroth. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Vigoroth swiftly dodged the attack, and launched a Scratch attack. However, Pikachu successfully blocked the attack with Iron Tail, but Vigoroth quickly recovered, and launched a Flamethrower, dealing much damage. Pikachu's electricity gave Ash an idea. He got Pikachu to use Quick Attack to dodge Vigoroth's Flamethrower. When Vigoroth launched another Scratch, Ash told Pikachu to stop where he was, and let him get hit. This activated Pikachu's Ability {{a|Static}}, paralyzing Vigoroth. This allowed Pikachu to defeat Vigoroth with Iron Tail. However, all this battling took its toll, as Pikachu fainted as well, ending the battle in a draw.

In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in his [[Fortree Gym]] battle against [[Winona]]. Pikachu battled against Winona's {{p|Pelipper}}, and despite the major type-advantage, Pelipper proved to be a formidable opponent, being able to use {{m|Steel Wing}} as a lightning rod to conduct Pikachu's Electric-type attacks to the ground, thus preventing damage. After Pikachu got hit by a Quick Attack, Ash decided Pikachu should fight at close-range, and told him to use Quick Attack to get closer. However, this gave Pelipper the opportunity to hit Pikachu hard with a Hydro Pump. However, Pikachu stood his ground, and when Pelipper lifted its wing from the ground for a moment, Ash had Pikachu use Thunder on Pelipper. With both Pokémon being hit by powerful attacks, Pikachu and Pelipper both fainted.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their machine. Team Rocket took advantage of this, and tricked Pikachu into joining them. He was then ordered to attack the group. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash fearlessly jumped on their balloon. Team Rocket ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt, causing them to get blasted off and causing Ash and Pikachu to fall down in a river. With Ash protecting Pikachu, Pikachu managed to regain his memory, and got rid of Team Rocket once again.

In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Ash and the group got on a submarine owned by [[Team Magma]], where they met Team Magma's leader, [[Maxie]]. An explosion caused by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre}}, caused the [[Blue Orb]] to fly off Maxie's desk. Pikachu managed to catch the orb before Team Magma could regain it. However, the orb soon started to glow, and melted into Pikachu's body, greatly increasing his power, but also making him lose control over himself. In [[AG098|the next episode]], Pikachu awakened {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon}}, and aided it in its battle with {{p|Kyogre}}. Due to everyone's teamwork, {{p|Groudon}} was able to defeat Kyogre, causing the Blue Orb to emerge from Pikachu's body. Pikachu was then saved from drowning by Kyogre, and later bade it and Groudon farewell.

In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Ash used Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}} in the [[Double Battle]] against [[Tate and Liza]] with their respective {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}. Solrock and Lunatone both started off using Tackle which both scored a direct hit on Pikachu and Swellow. Pikachu and Swellow then tried hitting their opponents with Quick Attack and {{m|Peck}}, but their attack was dodged, causing them to crash into planets hanging from the ceiling, and caused them to fall on top of each as they hit the ground. This gave Solrock and Lunatone the opportunity to launch a {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the attacks were about to hit their marks, the two beams accidentally collided, canceling each other out, causing the twins to quarrel. Ash used this chance to recover, and had Pikachu and Swellow strike the opposing Pokémon with a respective Iron Tail and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Both Meteorite Pokémon then charged towards Pikachu using Tackle, but Swellow was able to save him in time, causing Solrock and Lunatone to crash into each other. The battle then got interrupted by Team Rocket, who destroyed the gym using their machine, and stole Solrock and Lunatone.

After Team Rocket was defeated, they all agreed to resume their battle outdoors. This time, however, the twins managed to put their differences aside and worked together as a team. Ash first had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Solrock, but his attack was sent back by Lunatone's {{m|Light Screen}}, sending Pikachu flying into a wall. As Swellow tried to attack with Aerial Ace, Solrock used Sandstorm, sending Swellow flying as well. Pikachu then jumped on Swellow's back, and used Thunderbolt again, only to be deflected back by Light Screen again, hitting Pikachu and Swellow hard. Swellow then used Double Team, but Solrock and Lunatone countered using Solar Beam and Ice Beam to wipe out the copies. However, to Tate and Liza's surprise, Pikachu and Swellow got away unscathed. Swellow then dove down from the sky along with Pikachu to attack, but Solrock and Lunatone quickly responded, and hit them with Solar Beam and Ice Beam. Ash thought about how to negate the dual attacks, and then had Pikachu use Thunder on the clouds. Lightning then struck Pikachu and Swellow, which the two managed to endure. Once clear, Pikachu and Swellow were coated in a "Thunder Armor". Using this technique, Pikachu and Swellow managed to pierce through Solrock's Solar Beam and Lunatone's Light Screen, and managed to defeat them using Iron Tail and Aerial Ace, earning Ash the {{badge|Mind}}.

In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]]. Pikachu battled against his {{p|Shelgon}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit. As Pikachu went for a second Thunderbolt, Shelgon used Double-Edge and managed to dodge the attack. Due to Shelgon's low {{stat|Speed}}, Pikachu easily dodged the attack with Quick Attack. When Pikachu was about to finish Shelgon off with Iron Tail, Shelgon had Pikachu come close, and then hit him hard with Dragon Breath. Shelgon then followed up with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu, along with his {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle. They went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and Seaking. Pikachu used his Thunderbolt on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it to Snorunt. Pikachu used Thunder, but Seaking once again used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again. However, this time, Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo used Blizzard on the two, dealing much damage to Pikachu. Then, Ash had Snorunt use its Icy Wind to freeze the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar, which blocked Juan's view. Sealeo and Seaking destroyed the pillar with their Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam respectively. This created ice shards, which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on. Snorunt then used {{m|Headbutt}}, while Pikachu used Iron Tail. Seaking and Sealeo responded using Hyper Beam and Aurora Beam. While Pikachu was able to dodge Aurora Beam, Snorunt wasn't able to avoid the Hyper Beam and was knocked out.

Ash then sent out his Corphish. After dodging Corphish's Bubble Beam, both of Juan's Pokémon attacked from below with Sealeo using Aurora Beam on Pikachu's platform, which he was able to dodge. Seaking attacked Corphish with {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Corphish was able to grab its horn. However, Seaking used Horn Drill, sending Corphish flying. Ash then had Pikachu use Iron Tail on Seaking. Despite Sealeo trying to stop Pikachu using Aurora Beam, Pikachu was able to defeat Seaking, as well as avoid the attack in time. Pikachu then rode on Corphish's back, heading towards Sealeo. Sealeo tried stopping them using {{m|Ice Ball}}, which got stronger with each attack. While Pikachu and Corphish managed to destroy the first three Ice Balls, the fourth one managed to hit them both. Sealeo then launched a fifth Ice Ball at them both. Pikachu launched a Thunder at the Ice Ball, and after increasing its power, he was able to break it. While the falling ice shards were hurting Sealeo, Corphish was able to defeat it with its {{m|Crabhammer}}, knocking it out, and ending the first round of the Sootopolis Gym battle in Ash's favor. Both Pokémon were then recalled.

In [[AG111|the next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the Sootopolis Gym battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunder, and although it dealt a lot of damage, Milotic nullified the damage by using Recover. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, in which Milotic's overpowered Pikachu's. Milotic quickly followed up with Twister, which was powered up by the water. Much to Juan's surprise, Pikachu was able to break through with Thunder, and followed up with a powerful Quick Attack. Milotic then used Hydro Pump, which Pikachu dodged, and used a super-effective Thunderbolt. However, Milotic shook the attack off, and used Recover, healing itself once again. Milotic then went underwater, making both Ash and Pikachu unable to see it. Milotic then tried hitting Pikachu with Iron Tail, but he dodged it and climbed onto Milotic's body. Milotic tried stopping him using Hydro Pump, but he dodged the attack. Pikachu then grabbed onto its eyebrows and flipped the Tender Pokémon into the water. While underwater, Pikachu used Thunder, dealing major damage to Milotic, as water was an excellent conductor of electricity. This knocked out Milotic, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Rain}}.

In ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a 1-on-1 battle against his new rival [[Morrison]]. He faced [[Morrison's Beldum]]. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as the only move Beldum knew was Take Down, which he easily dodged before retaliating with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then dodged another Take Down, but this time Beldum reversed, and finally managed to hit Pikachu with its attack. After getting hit by a second Take Down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter another one, causing a big explosion which knocked both Pokémon out.

In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', Ash used Pikachu for the first round in the [[Ever Grande Conference]], he went up against {{OBP|Gilbert|AG126}} and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Hitmonlee used {{m|Rolling Kick}}, but Pikachu managed to avoid the attack, and hit Hitmonlee with Iron Tail. Hitmonlee then went for {{m|High Jump Kick}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge as well using Quick Attack, causing Hitmonlee to crash, and take major damage. As Pikachu charged in for one final attack, Hitmonlee hit him with Mega Kick. While heading towards the ground, Pikachu managed to escape Hitmonlee's kick, and hit him with Iron Tail, knocking it out, and causing Ash to advance to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament, part of the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against Katie's {{p|Golduck}}, and was sent out due to the type advantage he had. However, Katie immediately switched to her {{p|Dugtrio}}, who had a type-advantage of its own. Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Dugtrio used Dig to dodge the attack. Then, Dugtrio used {{m|Sand Tomb}}, creating a huge patch of quicksand. Pikachu tried to escape, but couldn't and got pulled by the sand. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt, which had no effect on Dugtrio since it was a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. Dugtrio used Double-Edge, and Pikachu attempted to block it with Iron Tail, but when both moves collided, Pikachu was knocked out, while Dugtrio emerged unharmed.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his Full Battle against Morrison in the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against his {{p|Steelix}}. Steelix used Dragon Breath, but Pikachu dodged it, and used Quick Attack. Steelix countered with Iron Tail, hitting Pikachu hard. Steelix then used Dig, hitting Pikachu from underneath the ground. Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, but Steelix quickly dodged that with another Dig. Pikachu managed to dodge Dig, and hit Steelix with Quick Attack. Then, both Pokémon used Iron Tail, but Steelix's managed to overpower Pikachu's, knocking him out.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his sixth and last Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}. He went up against Tyson's {{p|Metagross}}, who had already defeated Swellow and Grovyle, but had a crack in its armor as a result. Pikachu used Thunderbolt on the crack, but it didn't do much to Metagross. Metagross then used Psychic on Pikachu, but he was able to dodge it, and hit Metagross with Iron Tail. Pikachu then climbed onto Metagross, and as Metagross was unable to shake him off, Pikachu finally defeated the Iron Leg Pokémon with Thunder. After, Pikachu went up against Tyson's last Pokémon, his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}}.
Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Thunder attacks soon proved to be useless, as Meowth each time defended itself against Pikachu's Electric-type attacks with its Thunderbolt. After realizing this, Ash had Pikachu fight close-range, and ordered him to use Quick Attack. However, Meowth dodged this with Double Team, and followed up with Iron Tail. Pikachu countered with his own Iron Tail, causing the moves to collide. Pikachu and Meowth started attacking unceasing, with each time their attacks colliding. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, with both Pokémon taking the hit, knocking them both down. Though initially both of them got up, Pikachu fainted from exhaustion, causing Ash to end up in the Top 8 of the Ever Grande Conference.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against [[Elite Four]] [[Agatha]], and her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} at the [[Viridian Gym]]. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but failed since Gengar was a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It was too fast for Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but after dodging a Shadow Ball, Pikachu was able to hit Gengar with an Iron Tail. Gengar then countered, and hit Pikachu with Shadow Ball, but Pikachu was able to climb on the Shadow Ball and went for Iron Tail. However, Gengar was able to prevent Pikachu from using Iron Tail with Double Team. Pikachu was able to destroy all the copies with Thunderbolt, as well as hit Gengar with it. Then, he dodged a Shadow Ball, and hit Gengar with Iron Tail. When Pikachu was about to finish Gengar off with Thunder, Gengar used {{m|Hypnosis}}, putting him to sleep. Gengar then proceeded to defeat him with {{m|Dream Eater}}. Afterwards, he helped to defeat Team Rocket along with Agatha's {{p|Golbat}. Later on, Ash decided to enter the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} along with Pikachu, and his other Pokémon. He was later reunited with Misty, when he and Ash returned to Pallet Town.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', while battling Team Rocket's mecha, he used Quick Attack, which morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}}, easily destroying the mecha and blasting Team Rocket off. Despite this, Pikachu couldn't master the move. After lots of {{pkmn|training}}, Pikachu was finally able to master Volt Tackle in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', using the move to blast Team Rocket off, and saving a wild {{p|Celebi}}.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', when going to the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}, Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket using their fake Battle Pike until rescued by {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, and her {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}} from the real Battle Pike. Later, Ash used Pikachu as his second and last Pokémon in his Battle Pike challenge against Lucy and her Milotic. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Lucy had Milotic take the attack, and countered with Hydro Pump. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but Milotic managed to overpower Pikachu. Pikachu's Quick Attack was then countered by Twister, and he was then hit by Hydro Pump. Milotic used Iron Tail, but Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, blocking Iron Tail, and paralyzing Milotic. Then, Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Milotic countered with a {{m|Facade}}, and since Milotic was paralyzed, its power was doubled, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Ash then had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on himself. As Milotic was about to end the match with Twister, Ash had Pikachu, who was boosted by Thunderbolt, jump into the Twister. Inside the Twister, Pikachu began spinning and used Volt Tackle, increasing his power, and proceeded to knock Milotic out, winning Ash the battle and earning him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Luck Symbol]].

In ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', Pikachu was chosen as Ash's partner in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]]. In the end, however, the competition was won by James and his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}.

In ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', Pikachu was the third Pokémon to battle against {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. He went up against her Alakazam, who had already defeated Ash's previous two Pokémon. Pikachu managed to hit Alakazam with Thunderbolt, but Alakazam nullified the damage using Recover. Then, both Pokémon started exchanging Iron Tail and {{m|Focus Punch}} attacks, and then hit each other with Thunderbolt and Psybeam. Ash then ordered Pikachu to use Volt Tackle, but Pikachu ran straight towards the wall due to Psybeam's confusion effect. However, Pikachu managed to snap out of the confusion, after Ash had saved it, and managed to overpower Alakazam's Psybeam with Thunderbolt, defeating it. He went up against Metagross next. Metagross managed to sent Pikachu's Thunderbolt back at him using Psychic, dealing major damage. As Pikachu went for Quick Attack, Metagross used Iron Defense to deflect the attack, and hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Metagross fired a Hyper Beam, which defeated Pikachu, losing Ash the battle.

In [[AG170|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's rematch against Anabel, this time facing her {{p|Espeon}}. Espeon proved to have great speed and power, dodging Pikachu's attacks, and afterwards, immediately hit Pikachu with its own attacks. After getting hit by Espeon's Quick Attack and Iron Tail, Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt. Espeon's Zap Cannon managed to overpower Pikachu's attack, and hit him hard. Pikachu tried Thunderbolt once again, but it was avaoided. Espeon countered with Psychic, smashing Pikachu to the ceiling, causing Pikachu to fall down hard. However, Pikachu managed to land on his feet, and used Quick Attack. Espeon used Psychic again to stop Pikachu, and lifted him in the air. Pikachu managed to bounce off the ceiling, and landed on one of the stadium's lights. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, causing the lights to turn off, blocking Espeon's vision. Unable to see anything, Espeon was hit by Pikachu's next Thunderbolt. Pikachu then managed to avoid several Zap Cannon attacks, and hit Espeon again with Thunderbolt. Just as the lights turned on again, Pikachu jumped down and hit Espeon hard with his Iron Tail. He then rushed towards Espeon using Volt Tackle. Despite trying to stop Pikachu using Zap Cannon, the attack missed and Espeon got [[Fainting|knocked out]] by the powerful attack. This gave Ash the win, and earned him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Ability Symbol]].

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', in preparation for Ash's rematch against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} for his final frontier symbol, Pikachu reunited with Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard. Using Quick Attack to round up leaves created by Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}, they were able to make a den to sleep. Although he got in a fight with the other Pokémon, they later calmed down. The next day, they all continued to train. Pikachu was later captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued thanks to the efforts of Ash and the other Pokémon. They then combined their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, they met up with Brandon again, and he agreed to have a four-on-four rematch with Pikachu and the other Pokémon at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}.

Pikachu was the fourth and final Pokémon used in Ash's Battle Pyramid challenge against Pyramid King Brandon in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. After Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Brandon's first three Pokémon were eliminated from the match, Pikachu was pitted against [[Brandon's Regice]]. Ash first had Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Regice seemed unfazed by the attack. Then, Regice countered with Blizzard. Pikachu quickly recovered, and used Iron Tail, but was unable to land since he had to dodge the Iceberg Pokémon's Ice Beam. Regice used Ice Beam again to counter Pikachu's Quick Attack, and despite Pikachu managing to dodge the attack again, the whole battle field got frozen in the process. This made Regice to move even quicker, while making it harder for Pikachu to move. As Regice was about to hit Pikachu with a Focus Punch, Pikachu was able to hit Regice with Thunderbolt, stunning it. This allowed Pikachu to hit Regice with a super-effective Iron Tail. However, Regice quickly recovered and used Ice Beam, creating ice pillars, which trapped Pikachu. With Pikachu being unable to do anything, Regice used Rest to heal itself completely. Despite Pikachu managing to escape using Iron Tail, Regice was able to wake up before Pikachu could attack it and hit him with an Ice Beam, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} him. While Ash was yelling words of encouragement, the referee began to declare Pikachu unable to battle. However, Pikachu managed to thaw out using Thunderbolt, while also hitting Regice in the process. Regice then hit Pikachu with Focus Punch, sending Pikachu bouncing across the ice field. However, Pikachu used this to his advantage and bounced back to Regice to hit it with two consecutive Iron Tails. However, Regice was still standing, and managed to trap Pikachu again between ice pillars using Ice Beam, and started to rest up again. Pikachu escaped again using Iron Tail, and charged towards Regice using Volt Tackle. Regice managed to awake in time again, and started using Ice Beam to stop Pikachu. However, Pikachu was alert, and dodged the attack, hitting Regice with a powerful Volt Tackle, finally knocking the {{pkmn|category|Iceberg Pokémon}} out. This gave Ash the win, and finally earned him his last Symbol, [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Brave Symbol]].

Both Pokémon used Thunderbolt and were evenly matched.Then, Pikachu used Quick Attack, but it was avoided by Electivire. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but they were evenly matched. Pikachu used a close range Thunderbolt, which Electivire dodged by jumping. However, this was what Ash wanted, and had Pikachu use Volt Tackle since it was now defenseless. Suddenly, Electivire blocked the attack with {{m|Protect}}, damaging Pikachu due to recoil. Electivire then launched its powerful Thunder Punch, defeating Pikachu. Later, Pikachu went with Ash to Sinnoh, intending for him to be the only Pokémon to go with him, as he left his other Pokémon at Professor Oak's laboratory. However, {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on their ship, and Ash surprised at first, allowed her to accompany them to Sinnoh.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===

Eventually, in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} found Pikachu and tried to catch him, but failed since he already had a Trainer. She also protected him from Team Rocket and managed to blast Team Rocket off alongside with him. Pikachu was eventually reunited with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Later, he was used as Ash's final Pokémon in a battle against Ash's new rival, [[Paul]], and his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Elekid simply absorbed the attack and then launched a powerful Thunder at him. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Elekid blocked the attack using Protect, causing him to take recoil damage. Pikachu, however, managed to get up and used Iron Tail, which was countered by Elekid's {{m|Brick Break}}. As the two moves were colliding, Paul mentioned Elekid still had one free arm and ordered it to hit Pikachu with Thunder Punch. Pikachu, however, managed to block Thunder Punch with Iron Tail and then hit Elekid hard.

However, Cranidos was able to withstand the attack and used Headbutt. Although Pikachu managed to dodge and attempted to use Thunderbolt, Cranidos still managed to score a direct hit on him. Pikachu then tried to use Thunderbolt again, but Cranidos used Zen Headbutt to stop him and then used another Headbutt to knock him to the ground. When Paul got up to leave, believing Ash had already lost, Pikachu suddenly showed his strength by letting off a powerful electric attack in the air, causing Paul to stay. As the battle continued, Pikachu used Quick Attack, while Cranidos used Flamethrower. Pikachu dodged the attack and hit Cranidos with Iron Tail. Cranidos then used {{m|Head Smash}}, while Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle. The collision of these attacks caused much damage to both Pokémon. Not wanting Pikachu to take any more damage, Ash recalled him.
Later, Pikachu was sent out again to battle Roark's Onix. Pikachu used Iron Tail, which was countered by Onix's Slam. Ash then came up with an idea and had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the battlefield, causing rocks to be launched in the air. Onix tried heading forwards using Double-Edge, but couldn't due to the rocks. Pikachu then headed towards Onix using Quick Attack, but Onix quickly recovered and countered with {{m|Screech}}. Despite trying to still move forwards, Pikachu was overwhelmed by the attack and was blasted away, knocking him out and making Ash lose the battle.

In ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his rematch against Roark, where he faced Roark's Onix again. Pikachu used Quick Attack to climb onto Onix's body, after dodging a Slam. Onix tried to stop Pikachu using Screech, but failed and Pikachu managed to reach Onix's head. Despite trying to shake Pikachu off, Onix got hit by a super-effective Iron Tail. Onix then went for Double-Edge with Pikachu heading straight towards Onix. At the last moment, however, Pikachu used his newly learned spin technique to dodge the attack and went for another Iron Tail. Onix, however, managed to dodge and hit Pikachu hard with Slam. Onix then used {{m|Stealth Rock}}, but the move was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, preventing it from being executed as well as damaging Onix. Pikachu then used Iron Tail and while Onix tried countering with Screech, he managed to outspeed the Rock Snake Pokémon and defeated it. Pikachu was recalled when Roark sent out his Geodude.
Pikachu was later sent out to battle Roark's {{p|Rampardos}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Rampardos dodged and went for Zen Headbutt. Pikachu tried dodging the attack using his spin technique again, but still got hurt in the process. He then used Quick Attack, while Rampardos countered with Headbutt. Pikachu managed to avoid Headbutt by spinning head over heels, but got thrown in the air by Rampardos's tail. Pikachu then headed down using Iron Tail with Rampardos countering with Zen Headbutt. This caused Pikachu's Static to activate, but it was cancelled out by Rampardos's {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Rampardos then hit Pikachu hard with Zen Headbutt, knocking him out.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{si|Kenny}} and his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but the attack was blocked by Prinplup's Metal Claw. Prinplup then used Drill Peck, but Pikachu managed to dodge the attack by spinning and hit Prinplup with Iron Tail, sending it to the ground. Prinplup, however, used Bubble Beam to create a cushion to land safely. Pikachu and Prinplup then clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Ash entered Pikachu in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]. Pikachu was able to imitate several Pokémon and, as a result, advanced to the finals. However, he ended up losing to [[Brock's Croagunk]].

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Pikachu was used in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where he battled alongside [[Paul's Chimchar]]. Pikachu and Chimchar faced a Rhydon and a Magmar. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt on Magmar, but the attack got redirected to Rhydon due to its {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability. Unharmed by the Electric-type attack, Rhydon proceeded to hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Megahorn}}. Magmar then used {{m|Lava Plume}}, dealing minor damage Rhydon. While Pikachu managed to dodge the attack, Paul had Chimchar jump right in to power up its {{type|Fire}} moves. Despite this, Chimchar's Flamethrower did little damage to Rhydon and Chimchar got hit by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Pikachu then managed to hit Rhydon with a super-effective Iron Tail, dealing much damage. Rhydon then used {{m|Surf}}, while Magmar protected itself with Protect. Pikachu, however, managed to break through the Surf and defeat Rhydon using Iron Tail. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, while Magmar countered with Fire Punch. This gave Chimchar the opportunity to hit Magmar with a super-effective Dig, knocking it out and causing Ash and Paul to proceed to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Ash and Pikachu tried stopping a wild {{p|Spiritomb}} from rampaging, after the gang accidentally destroyed the [[Hallowed Tower]], thus freeing Spiritomb from the [[Odd Keystone]]. Eventually, Pikachu managed to defeat Spiritomb with Volt Tackle and Thunderbolt after a hard fought battle and the group managed to seal Spiritomb in the Keystone again.

In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Pikachu encountered Paul's Electabuzz again at [[Reggie]]'s home, where the two started fighting. The Pokémon got separated by [[Maylene's Lucario]]. Later, Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in a battle against Reggie. Pikachu faced Reggie's {{p|Staraptor}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Staraptor managed to dodge and used {{m|Brave Bird}}. Pikachu tried dodging using his spin technique, but failed to do so and got hit hard. Pikachu then managed to dodge Staraptor's Steel Wing, by using Iron Tail on the ground to jump high in the air. He then used Volt Tackle, which was countered by Staraptor's {{m|Wing Attack}}, causing both Pokémon to fall down. In the end however, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', an arrogant Electric-type trainer named [[Sho]] wished Ash to trade Pikachu to him, as he already had a Pichu and {{p|Raichu}} and wanted to have the full evolution line in his team. Ash obviously refused, so Sho challenged him to a battle against his powerful Raichu. Unlike Lt. Surge's Raichu, this particular Raichu was fast as well as knew powerful attacks. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was easily taken by Raichu, who then proceeded to launch Thunder at Pikachu. Pikachu unwilling to dodge, took the attack and charged in using Volt Tackle. Raichu countered with its own Volt Tackle, sending both Pokémon flying back. Raichu managed to land back on its feet, while Pikachu crashed into a rock. Both Pokémon then clashed with Iron Tail. Raichu then managed to take Pikachu's Quick Attack and started using Hyper Beam. As Pikachu was trying to get away, Raichu used its tail to trap Pikachu and proceeded to hit him with a close-range Hyper Beam, defeating him as well as seriously injuring him.
During his recovery, Pikachu began to reconsider his earlier decision not to evolve since there would always be attacks and abilities that he simply couldn't learn otherwise. When Ash went to check on Pikachu he found both Pikachu and his Thunder Stone missing, causing him to think Pikachu may had evolved into Raichu. However, he soon found Pikachu training in the forest, trying to get stronger without evolving.

After some hard training, Ash and Pikachu re-challenged Sho and Raichu. Raichu started off using Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to constantly dodge its attacks by circling around. However, Raichu eventually managed to hit Pikachu and threw him in the air. While he was heading down Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Raichu's Volt Tackle. Raichu then went for another Volt Tackle, but Pikachu dodged it by spinning. Pikachu then circled around again to avoid Raichu's Iron Tail attacks, causing Raichu to lose its footing. This gave Pikachu the opportunity to hit it hard with a Quick Attack. Pikachu then proceeded to dodge Raichu's attacks and immediately after hit it with its own moves, dealing much damage. Raichu, however, was still standing and managed to trap Pikachu with its tail again, while charging Hyper Beam. As Hyper Beam was launched, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to block Hyper Beam, decreasing its power. As Raichu had to recharge, Pikachu proceeded to hit Raichu with a Volt Tackle-Iron Tail combination, dealing major damage. Pikachu and Raichu then clashed with Volt Tackle, proving to be equal in power. Pikachu then avoided Raichu's Iron Tail and flung it into a tree using Iron Tail. Raichu then tried trapping Pikachu again while using Hyper Beam, but Pikachu dodged its tail and used Hyper Beam's power to jump high in the air. Pikachu then headed down using a spinning Iron Tail and finally knocked Raichu out, proving he had once again made the right decision not to evolve.

In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', Pikachu and {{AP|Buizel}} got into a fight after Buizel got accidentally hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt while training. Later, Pikachu was the first Pokémon used in Ash's [[Pastoria Gym]] battle. He went up against [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit on Gyarados, but despite the super-effective attack, Gyarados was unharmed. Gyarados used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Pikachu blocked it with Iron Tail and used the strike to jump above Gyarados. Gyarados charged in with Bite, but Pikachu, while still in mid-air, used Volt Tackle, hitting Gyarados to the face and knocking it out. He was recalled after Crasher Wake sent out {{p|Quagsire}}.
Later, after Buizel was recalled, Pikachu went up again against {{p|Floatzel}}. He used Thunderbolt, but Floatzel countered with {{m|Whirlpool}}. The collision caused electrified water droplets to fall on Buizel, curing his confusion. Pikachu used Volt Tackle, but Floatzel overpowered it and damaged him with {{m|Razor Wind}}. Pikachu then got hit by {{m|Ice Fang}}, causing a part of his back to get frozen. Pikachu was then recalled after Buizel wanted to fight again. As they passed each other they exchanged high-fives and Buizel broke the ice on Pikachu's back with Water Gun, settling their quarrel.

[[File:Hearthome Collection Pikachu.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu in the Hearthome Collection]]
In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', Pikachu was used in the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion show for {{pkmn|Stylist}}s and their Pokémon whose winner would get the chance to work on a photo shoot for the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. At first, Pikachu was shy to go on stage wearing the outfit Ash had designed for him, but after hearing some encouraging words from Ash, he overcame his moment of shyness and went on stage to perform. He used his Thunderbolt attack to light up the [[Contest Hall|hall]], captivating the judges' attention. [[Hermione]] commented that, although Ash didn't quite get it what it means to be a Pokémon Stylist, he was at least making an effort to show off his Pokémon, instead of focusing solely on the clothing aspect. For this reason, Pikachu was among the three finalists, along with [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Cocoa]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Ash and Pikachu ended up in third place, receiving the Unique Award for their original costumes and performance.

In ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', Pikachu was used in an unofficial battle against the [[Hearthome City]] Gym Leader [[Fantina]]. Pikachu faced her {{TP|Fantina|Drifloon}}, who had already defeated Buizel and put Chimchar to sleep. After getting hit by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, Pikachu hit Drifloon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then used Volt Tackle, but Drifloon countered with {{m|Ominous Wind}}, stopping Pikachu and blowing him back. He then managed to hit Drifloon with another Thunderbolt, but this triggered Drifloon to evolve into {{p|Drifblim}}. Drifblim managed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt and followed up with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep. With two of his Pokémon sleeping Ash decided to forfeit the match.

In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his final Pokémon in a three-on-three battle against {{an|Barry}}, where he faced [[Barry's Empoleon]]. Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Pikachu was forced to dodge Empoleon's {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Empoleon then used Steel Wing, which clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. While continuously exchanging Steel Wings and Iron Tails, Pikachu eventually got hit, knocking him back. While struggling to get back up, Empoleon fired a Hyper Beam at Pikachu, launching him in the air. When it seemed to be over, Ash's words of encouragement managed to get through and Pikachu was able to hit Empoleon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then hit Empoleon with a powerful Volt Tackle, knocking it out.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's third Pokémon in his [[Hearthome Gym]] battle. He went up against Fantina's Drifblim. Pikachu used a Thunderbolt [[Counter Shield]], hurting Drifblim as well as paralyzing it. Drifblim, however, immediately blew the electricity away with Psychic. Drifblim then used a combination of Will-O-Wisp and Psychic to create a Counter Shield of its own. Pikachu used Counter Shield again, but it was overwhelmed as Drifblim's lasted longer due to it being supported by Psychic. Drifblim's Counter Shield then surrounded Pikachu, causing him to be unable to use Thunderbolt. Drifblim then proceeded to hit Pikachu with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep, and finished him off with Ominous Wind.

In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's partner in a [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. In the first round they faced [[Wilkinson]] and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Despite putting up a good match, Ash and Pikachu got eliminated.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's fifth Pokémon used in his Full Battle against Paul. First, he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}. Pikachu managed to hit Magmortar with Quick Attack. However, upon making contact, he was burned by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}}. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, which was countered by Magmortar's Flamethrower. He then went for Volt Tackle, which was countered by Magmortar's Rock Tomb. Despite managing to push through and destroy multiple rocks, Pikachu was eventually thrown back after crashing in one of the rocks and got immediately after damaged by his burn. Magmortar then used Smog, but Pikachu blocked it using his Thunderbolt Counter Shield. After taking more burn damage, Pikachu dodged Magmortar's Flamethrower and struck Magmortar with an Iron Tail, only to take burn damage again after. He was then recalled.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|thumb|left|250px|Static activated]]
Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. Pikachu hit Ursaring with Quick Attack, but the Hibernator Pokémon managed to take it and hit Pikachu hard with Hammer Arm. The physical contact activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Ursaring, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit it with Iron Tail. The paralysis, however, activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, greatly increasing Ursaring's Attack. Pikachu tried stopping Ursaring with Thunderbolt, but it managed to push through and slammed him into [[Lake Acuity]] with an extremely powerful Hammer Arm, taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only Chimchar.

In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against Barry's {{p|Heracross}}. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but Heracross endured the hit and hit him with Horn Attack. Their battle was stopped, when Barry saw a {{p|Xatu}} flying and decided to follow it.

In ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the Hurdle Dash event of a [[Pokéathlon]] held in [[Camellia Town]]. Pikachu and {{OBP|Daniel|DP160}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} quickly managed to take the lead and after racing neck-to-neck with Snorlax, Snorlax's large belly passed the finish line first. This meant Daniel had won the Pokéathlon with Ash ending up in second place.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Sinnoh Elite Four]] member {{ef|Flint}}. He faced [[Flint's Infernape]], who had already defeated Ash's Buizel and his Infernape. Pikachu first used Quick Attack, but Infernape simply took the attack and used {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, causing an explosion. Infernape and Pikachu then clashed with {{m|Mach Punch}} and Iron Tail, but Infernape overpowered Pikachu sending him flying into a wall. Infernape then hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Close Combat}} and slammed him down to the ground. Before hitting the ground, Pikachu still managed to hit Infernape with Thunderbolt. Infernape then headed downwards using Flare Blitz, being unable to dodge Pikachu was hit hard by the Fire-type move. Pikachu, however, still didn't give up and used Quick Attack. Infernape took the attack again and used this chance to knock him back with Close Combat. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Infernape countered with Flare Blitz, breaking through the attack and hitting him hard. Pikachu and Infernape then clashed with Volt Tackle and Mach Punch, causing an explosion, knocking Pikachu to the ground.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Pikachu first launched a Quick Attack, which Electivire dodged. Electivire then launched a Fire Punch and {{m|Ice Punch}}, both of which were dodged. After dodging these attacks Pikachu had hit Electivire with two Thunderbolts, which Electivire absorbed due to its Ability {{a|Motor Drive}}, increasing its Speed. Due to its increased Speed, it dodged Iron Tail with ease and managed to hit Pikachu with Fire Punch. Electivire then hit Pikachu with Ice Punch, which activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Electivire as well as slowing it down. Due to Electivire's paralysis, Pikachu was able to dodge an Ice Punch and countered another one with Iron Tail. As Electivire went for another Ice Punch, Pikachu managed to outspeed the Thunderbolt Pokémon and defeat it with Iron Tail. Pikachu was then recalled. He later went up against Volkern's {{p|Luxray}}. His Quick Attack was stopped by {{m|Shock Wave}}, knocking him back. Pikachu then launched three successful Iron Tails but the fourth was countered by {{m|Thunder Fang}}, which overpowered Pikachu. He was then knocked out by Luxray's Shock Wave.

In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}. First he and Aggron clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw, proving to be equal in power. Aggron then countered with {{m|Metal Sound}}, hurting Pikachu's ears. Pikachu managed to stop Aggron with Thunderbolt and headed forwards using Volt Tackle. This attack, however, was stopped by Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, dealing much damage. Pikachu was then recalled in place of Infernape. [[DP187|Later]] Pikachu was used again in Ash's battle against Paul, this time facing Paul's {{p|Froslass}}. Froslass started off using {{m|Hail}}, activating her {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability, making it hard to keep track of Froslass's movements. As Pikachu kept getting attacked by his opponent, he tried countering with Thunderbolt. The falling hail, however, protected Froslass from Thunderbolt, giving Froslass the chance to hit Pikachu hard with an {{m|Ice Shard}}. Pikachu then tried attacking with Volt Tackle, only to be easily dodged by the Snow Land Pokémon. As Froslass went for another Ice Shard to finish Pikachu off, Pikachu managed to avoid it by jumping and hit Froslass with a super-effective Iron Tail. Due to the large amount of damage Froslass had taken, the hail disappeared. Froslass then went for an Ice Beam, freezing Pikachu. As Froslass was about to finish Pikachu off with Ice Shard, Pikachu managed to thaw out with Volt Tackle and knocked the Snow Land Pokémon out. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. He was then once again recalled. During [[DP188|the continuation of their battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to battle Paul's Electivire. Electivire started off by using Thunder on the battle field, launching rocks at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, managed to maneuver through the rocks with Quick Attack and strike Electivire with a direct hit on the head. Electivire, however, quickly recovered and grabbed Pikachu with its tails. As Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, Electivire smacked him to the ground. Using these movements however, Pikachu managed to escape from Electivire's grip. Pikachu and Electivire then clashed with Quick Attack and Brick Break, pushing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then went for Volt Tackle. Electivire blocked the attack, activating its Motor Drive Ability. It then went for a speedy Thunder Punch, but this was countered by Pikachu's Iron Tail. Both attacks, however, proved to be equal in power making Pikachu unable to move. This gave Electivire the opportunity to use Brick Break with its other arm, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. In the beginning almost none of his attacks hit or did any damage to Latios and his attacks got easily overwhelmed by Latios's powerful attacks. However, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt to severely damage Latios. Latios then used Light Screen, reducing the damage caused by Thunderbolt. Despite this Pikachu kept using Thunderbolt until he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge, causing a massive explosion. In the end, however, both he and Latios fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon had fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle, placing Ash in the Top 4 of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Pikachu helped search for {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, when he had run away.

Then Team Rocket appeared, but Pikachu and Piplup managed to blast them off with a Volt Tackle and Hydro Pump combination. Later, Pikachu said goodbye to Dawn and Piplup, before he, Ash and Brock boarded the ship heading to [[Kanto]]. Upon arriving in Kanto, Pikachu and Ash finally bade farewell to Brock too and the two continued on towards Pallet Town.

Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just as he did in Hoenn. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu joined Ash, [[Delia]] and Professor Oak on a trip to the Unova region. Upon arriving in Unova, Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused him to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this during his battle against [[Trip]] and his {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}. After scoring a direct hit with Quick Attack and avoiding Snivy's Tackle, Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt, but was unable to and got hit by a Tackle. Unable to use Thunderbolt again, he went for Volt Tackle, but failed to use this move as well, wearing Pikachu out greatly. Noticing Pikachu's inability of using Electric-type moves, Ash ordered Pikachu to use Iron Tail. This attack, however, was dodged by Snivy, who then proceeded to defeat the exhausted Pikachu with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. In [[BW002|the next episode]], Pikachu recovered his Electric-type moves.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{TP|Cress|Panpour}}.

He then threw Tranquill in the air and defeated it with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who had evolved into Servine.

After both Pokémon got blown back by the collision, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of troublemaking {{p|Ducklett}} stole [[Ash's hat]] and [[Sunglasses Sandile|Sandile]]'s sunglasses. Pikachu assisted Sandile in defeating them. After unintentionally shocking himself with Thunderbolt, because he was stuck in a beach umbrella, Pikachu couldn't use Electric-type attacks. Eventually his anger caused him to learn {{m|Electro Ball}} and blasted the Ducklett off with his new move as well as recovering his ability to use Electric-type moves. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Pikachu got hit by {{m|Stone Edge}}, but immediately countered with Quick Attack. As Pikachu used Iron Tail, Sandile used Dig to avoid getting hit and hit Pikachu hard. Sandile then used another Dig, hitting Pikachu again.

Unable to break free from the strings he was hit by Leaf Storm again. He then tried a Thunderbolt but missed due to his loss of balance. He was then hit by a powerful Hyper Beam, but refused to give up. When Leavanny used Leaf Storm, Pikachu spun and charged into the Leaf Storm, cutting the threads. Pikachu then dodged Leavanny's String Shot's with Quick Attack.

He then threw Pikachu in the air and hit him hard with Metal Claw. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail. Excadrill tried countering with Metal Claw, but Pikachu managed to dodge it and hit him hard. After a collision between Pikachu's Electro Ball and Excadrill's {{m|Focus Blast}}, Excadrill used Dig to hit Pikachu from beneath, launching him in the air spinning.

Pikachu then faced Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}. Despite her not looking very strong, Tynamo proved to be a tough opponent, using speedy and strong Tackles to hit Pikachu hard. Tynamo managed to slam Pikachu into the ground. While stuck in the ground he was unable to defend himself against Tynamo's countless Tackles. Pikachu eventually managed to break free and started using Thunderbolt on the battle field. The now rocky field forced Tynamo to face Pikachu head on only. Tynamo then dashed forwards using Tackle. Pikachu had Tynamo come close and then launched a powerful Iron Tail, defeating her thus winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]], where he faced his {{p|Bouffalant}}.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}.

Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}. Despite Swanna major Electric weakness, Pikachu's Electric-type moves proved to be useless, as Swanna used {{m|Aqua Ring}} to protect itself against them. Pikachu then used Iron Tail, but Swanna ascended and dodged the attack. Ash then had the idea to have Pikachu jump on the rings above the battle field, while using Quick Attack, to get close to Swanna and managed to hit the White Bird Pokémon hard. Swanna, however, quickly recovered and hit Pikachu with Bubble Beam, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was then hit by a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and got finished off by a brutal Brave Bird.

In ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', Ash and Pikachu entered the [[Wishing Bell Festival]]. By working together they managed to reach the final round, where they had to climb [[Mistralton Tower]] while protecting the flame of their {{p|Litwick}} candle.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]]. He faced Roxie's strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}, who had already beaten Ash's Pignite and {{AP|Palpitoad}}. Garbodor started off using Double Slap, but Pikachu used his swift movements to dodge Garbodor's long arms, causing them to tangle up. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor hard with Quick Attack. Garbodor then attacked by swinging its arms at Pikachu, but he managed to dodge again and shocked the Trash Heap Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. As Pikachu went for an Iron Tail, Garbodor knocked him back with its arms and followed up with several {{m|Gunk Shot}}s. Cornered by these attacks, Pikachu got caught by Garbodor's arms and was then hit by a series of Double Slaps. He was then hit by Gunk Shot, {{status|poison}}ing him. Roxie then ordered Garbodor to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Venoshock}}, but due to all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu had made with Garbodor, Pikachu's Static Ability had activated, paralyzing Garbodor. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor with Thunderbolt, but it was able to withstand it and used Venoshock. Pikachu, however, overpowered the attack with Electro Ball and hit Garbodor, knocking it out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the Unova League.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu was used in one final battle against Dawn, before she headed to Johto. He faced her {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack, taking hits from Quilava's Swift, before his attack was dodged. Quilava then used {{m|Flame Wheel}}, which he dodged in time. Pikachu fired off an Electro Ball, which collided with Quilava's Flamethrower. Quilava then used {{m|Smokescreen}}, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt pierced through the smoke and he then attacked with Iron Tail. Quilava, however, countered with Flamethrower, overpowering Pikachu. Both Pokémon kept exchanging attacks, with Quilava's Swift being deflected by Pikachu's Iron Tail and a collision between Thunderbolt and Flamethrower. Pikachu and Quilava collided once more, with Quick Attack and Flame Wheel, knocking both Pokémon back. The battle was then called off by [[Cynthia]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash and Pikachu battled {{an|Giovanni}} and his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}}, trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}. Pikachu outsped Persian's {{m|Shadow Claw}} and scored a hit with Iron Tail. Persian, however, immediately followed up with {{m|Power Gem}}, defeating Pikachu. Giovanni then successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a Thunder attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip's Serperior. Pikachu's attacks were easily dodged by Serperior, while the Regal Pokémon scored a direct on Pikachu with {{m|Dragon Tail}}. In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Pikachu continued his battle with Serperior. Pikachu managed to stand up, but got immediately hit by an {{m|Energy Ball}}. Pikachu then managed to dodge a Dragon Tail, but got hit by another one. Serperior then proceeded to grab Pikachu with {{m|Wrap}}. While in Serperior's grasp, Pikachu hit him with Thunderbolt, but Trip quickly had Serperior anchor his tail in the ground, conducting the electricity to the ground, preventing damage. Serperior then tightened his grip, causing Pikachu to lose consciousness. When Serperior was about to finish Pikachu off by slamming him to the ground, Pikachu was awoken by Ash's voice and managed to escape from Serperior's grip by using Iron Tail on the ground. Pikachu's Iron Tail was then countered and overpowered by Serperior's Dragon Tail. Pikachu, however, still didn't give in and used an Electro Ball-Iron Tail combination, which clashed with Dragon Tail, causing a huge explosion. After the smoke cleared only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win as well as his first win against Trip.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Razor Shell}}. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack, but he was overwhelmed by Samurott's Razor Shell and was then hit by a powerful Hydro Cannon. Pikachu then dodged a Megahorn and used Quick Attack. He managed to dodge Razor Shell and hit Samurott hard with Quick Attack, followed up by a powerful Iron Tail. Samurott then blocked an Electro Ball with Razor Shell, but Pikachu immediately followed up with Iron Tail, defeating the Formidable Pokémon. Pikachu stayed in to battle Cameron's Swanna. Swanna started off using a series of {{m|Pluck}} attacks, which were all dodged by Pikachu. Pikachu then used Quick Attack, but Swanna avoided the attack and struck him with Wing Attack. Swanna then went for Bubble Beam, but this was dodged by Pikachu. Swanna then dove towards Pikachu using Wing Attack, but he dodged again and launched a super-effective Electro Ball at the White Bird Pokémon, knocking it out. Pikachu was then recalled. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated {{AP|Snivy}}, leaving him as Ash's last Pokémon. Pikachu started off by repeatedly using Quick attack, each time scoring a direct hit. He then tried to finish Lucario off with Iron Tail, but Lucario quickly dodged. Lucario then jumped towards Pikachu and hit him hard with {{m|Force Palm}}. Pikachu's Electro Ball then collided with Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, blowing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then managed to avoid Force Palm, but Lucario chased after him and threw him in the air using {{m|Circle Throw}}. Pikachu, however, managed to land on his feet and struck Lucario with a powerful Thunderbolt, followed up by a Quick Attack. He then went for Iron Tail, but Lucario used {{m|Copycat}} to counter his attack, causing a big explosion. Despite the large amount of damage both Pokémon had taken, they still managed to stand up. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere. Aura Sphere, however, overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in Top 8.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot]]'', Pikachu battled wild Pokémon, controlled by [[Colress]], trying to free them and stop [[Team Plasma]]. Impressed by Pikachu's power, Colress managed to gain control over Pikachu by attaching a receiver to his head and ordered him to attack Ash and the group. As Colress was increasing the power of the EM waves, Ash begged Pikachu to fight the control. Fighting against the control, the receiver overloaded and got destroyed, freeing Pikachu from Team Plasma's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pikachu along with Ash's other Pokémon fought against Team Plasma's Pokémon in order to prevent them from awakening {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Reshiram}}. Colress, however, then activated his improved mind-control machine and managed to hit Pikachu with the machine's laser, controlling him again. This time however, Ash's voice didn't get through to Pikachu's control and he was knocked unconscious by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. {{an|N}} then offered to give Team Plasma the [[Light Stone]] in exchange for them freeing Pikachu from their control, to which they agreed. In [[BW122|the next episode]], Pikachu tried to destroy Colress's machine to free Reshiram and all the other Pokémon from [[Ghetsis]]'s control. However, he was ultimately hit by the laser, which put him under control once again. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu managed to resist the machine's influence, using his own electricity to fight off Ghetsis's control, and used Thunderbolt on Reshiram in an attempt to help it escape from Ghetsis's control as well. Despite Colress increasing the machine's power, Pikachu kept resisting and together with Reshiram destroyed the machine with Electro Ball and {{m|Fusion Flare}}, freeing all Pokémon from Team Plasma's control, thus defeating the team.

[[File:Bulbasaur and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu reuniting with Bulbasaur]]
In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]],'' Pikachu participated in the [[Marine Cup Tournament]]. He managed to beat other Trainers with a {{p|Gurdurr}} and an {{p|Eelektrik}} and make it to the finals. He battled against [[Teaque]]'s {{p|Galvantula}}. After a tough battle, Pikachu was able to knock out Galvantula with Iron Tail, winning the tournament for Ash.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Pikachu, along with {{TP|Iris|Axew}} was captured by Team Rocket, while Ash, Iris and {{an|Cilan}} were trapped inside the ship's cargo space. He was eventually freed out of the net and together with Axew using Dragon Rage, Charizard using Flamethrower and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} using Solar Beam, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket off. Later, Pikachu said farewell to Axew, Iris and Cilan as he, Ash and [[Alexa]] continued on to Pallet Town.

Pikachu was reunited with Bulbasaur and the entire Unova team at Professor Oak's Laboratory in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Thunderbolt to send them blasting off for the last time in the ''Best Wishes'' series. Pikachu then continued to travel with Ash when he set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

==={{series|XY}}===
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Ash and Pikachu arrived in Kalos by plane along with Alexa. After being thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] for not having enough Gym Badges, Ash was saved by {{an|Clemont}} while Pikachu was saved by {{an|Bonnie}}. Bonnie was excited to be holding Pikachu, leading to him shocking her because she was holding him too tightly. After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to.
[[File:Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Pikachu and Ash]]
In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, he proved to be quite a challenge for Pikachu. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig. Pikachu tried to confuse Bunnelby with his speedy movements, but the Digging Pokémon was able to hit him. Pikachu then scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from. Bunnelby then used Double Slap, hitting him several times before knocking him back. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which Bunnelby easily caught with his ears. Now, however, Bunnelby was unable to use his ears, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit the Digging Pokémon with Electro Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu for their plans. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her Wobbuffet reflect Pikachu's attacks with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded Pikachu with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu was used to blast off the villains. Froakie soon collapsed from its injuries, so Ash, Pikachu, and their new friends went to [[Professor Sycamore]] to heal Froakie back to health.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that he could be healed. When Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued her to get the device off and free her. After chasing her to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off with Ash immediately leaping in to save his best friend, to the shock of many including {{an|Serena}}. They were both saved by a {{me|Blaziken}}, who intercepted them in the air and put the two safely back onto the ground.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Santalune Gym]] battle with [[Viola]], sending him out to face her {{p|Surskit}}. Despite the type-advantage, Surskit proved to be a tough opponent, using its speedy movements to dodge Pikachu's attacks. Pikachu's Quick Attack was blocked by Protect and his Iron Tail was dodged. After blocking Pikachu's Electro Ball with Ice Beam, it used Ice Beam on the field, freezing it. While Pikachu slipped on the ice, Surskit was able to skate on it. Although Pikachu did get a successful hit with Iron Tail, his Thunderbolt was overpowered by Ice Beam and he was then knocked out by {{m|Signal Beam}}. After he was healed at the Pokémon Center, he trained with {{AP|Fletchling}} for their rematch by using Alexa's {{p|Noivern}}'s {{m|Gust}} to help them withstand {{p|Vivillon}}'s Gust, who beat Fletchling in the first battle.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', continuing his training along with Fletchling, they were able to withstand Noivern's Gust well. Later, using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}. After it broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. The next day, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon for his Gym Battle rematch against Viola, where he again went up against her Surskit. Using his training he was able to dodge Sticky Web, and after having his Thunderbolt blocked by Surskit's Protect and dodging its Signal Beam, he was able to hit Surskit with Iron Tail. Afterwards, Pikachu tried to stop Surskit from using Ice Beam on the field by climbing on it and using Thunderbolt, but Surskit was able to shake him off and managed to create the ice field as well as freezing the area. This time, however, using his tail, Pikachu was able to stabilize himself on the ice field. His Thunderbolt then overpowered Surskit's Signal Beam, defeating the Pond Skater Pokémon. Ash recalled Pikachu and substituted him for Fletchling. He was later called out again to battle Vivillon, who had beaten Fletchling. Vivillon attacked with Gust, but as Pikachu was still damaged from battling Surskit, he wasn't able to withstand attack. As Vivillon went for another Gust, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail to anchor himself to the ice field to withstand the attack. Vivillon then used Solar Beam, which was countered with Thunderbolt. In his current position, however, Pikachu was left vulnerable to Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and got hit. While he was struggling to stay awake, Vivillon charged its Solar Beam. Thinking back to their training, Ash had Pikachu use Electro Ball on himself to repel Sleep Powder, thus keeping him awake. Vivillon then launched the Solar Beam, but Pikachu was able to overpower it with Electro Ball, causing Vivillon to crash into the lamps which were frozen by Surskit's Ice Beam misfire, freezing its wing. This allowed Pikachu to defeat the Scale Pokémon with Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Bug}}.

[[File:Officer Jenny Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu hypnotized by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Malamar}}]]
In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'', after overhearing one of Team Rocket's conversations, [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Malamar}} captured Pikachu. After Clemont attempted to use his "Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device" to find Pikachu, it was revealed that Malamar had hypnotized Pikachu, making him one of Madame X's subordinates. While searching for Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena were also hypnotized by Malamar. Once Ash and Meowth finally found Pikachu, Team Rocket, and Madame X, Madame X forced Pikachu to attack Ash. Ash attempted to get through to Pikachu, which works and Pikachu starts to fight Malamar control. Pikachu electricity did get the Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device to bursted in and rammed into Malamar, causing it to lose its control over everyone. After Malamar revealed his plans through Meowth, Pikachu attempted to attack it, but Malamar managed to escape.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] battle against [[Grant]]. He went up against his {{p|Tyrunt}}. Pikachu was at a type-disadvantage since Tyrunt was part {{type|Dragon}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack and jumped to attack from above to avoid {{m|Crunch}} and hit Tyrunt. Tyrunt then used its signature {{m|Draco Meteor}}, but Pikachu dodged and struck it with a super-effective Iron Tail. As the meteor shower from Draco Meteor rained down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to jump on the meteors and perform the Draco Meteor Climb, which was based on the Rock Tomb Climb Froakie previously used. Tyrunt then used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Dragon Tail and clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. Grant then had Tyrunt use his favorite move, Rock Tomb, but Pikachu deflected the projectiles with Iron Tail, knocking one into Tyrunt's mouth. While Tyrunt was now unable to use Crunch, Pikachu had the opportunity to move close and finish with Ash's favorite move, Thunderbolt, defeating Tyrunt, winning the battle and earning Ash the {{badge|Cliff}}.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', Pikachu was used in the Ash's battle against [[Diantha]], the [[Kalos League]] Champion, where he faced her {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} managed to dodge all of Pikachu's attacks and hit him hard with a Shadow Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Pikachu's Quick Attack was easily taken by Lucario and his Iron Tail was blocked. Lucario used its great speed to dodge an Iron Tail and then raised its Attack using {{m|Swords Dance}}. Pikachu was then unable to dodge Lucario's speedy attacks and got hit by several {{m|Bone Rush}}es and was then finished off by a powerful {{m|Power-Up Punch}}.

Pikachu battled Lucario again in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', but this time against Lucario's [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form. Mega Lucario used Bone Rush, but Pikachu managed to knock the bone away with Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack and managed to dodge a Power-Up Punch. Lucario, however, started to go out of control and chased after him before kicking him into a rock. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but it dodged it and now started to attack Pikachu aggressively, forcing Ash to protect Pikachu. As Lucario went to attack Ash and Pikachu, [[Gurkinn]] sent out his {{p|Lucario}} to block the attack. Lucario then lost its conscious and the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Pikachu was used in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} alongside with [[Serena's Fennekin]] and [[Clemont's Chespin]] against [[Tierno's Squirtle]], [[Shauna's Bulbasaur]], and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. Pikachu and the others were having a hard time due to their opponents great teamwork, which led to Fennekin being defeated by Squirtle. When Pikachu used Quick Attack, Squirtle used Rapid Spin to block and send Pikachu flying. He also took some damage from the embers from Charmander's {{m|Flame Burst}} and he and the others were then hit by Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf. Pikachu then jumped to dodge a Flamethrower, but was then targeted by Bulbasaur's Solar Beam. Much to Shauna and her friends's surprise, Chespin used Vine Whip to pull Pikachu up, giving Pikachu the perfect opportunity to defeat Charmander with Thunderbolt. When Squirtle used Rapid Spin, Chespin used Vine Whip to stop it, while Pikachu managed to defeat Bulbasaur with Electro Ball. After avoiding Squirtle's {{m|Aqua Tail}}, Pikachu also defeated it with Thunderbolt giving Ash, Serena and Clemont the win {{tt|and the spot on the Hall of Fame|Despite having one point less than Team Chikorita, as the final scores were inconsistent with the points given on screen}}.

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon Ash used during his [[Shalour Gym]] battle with [[Korrina]], sending him out to face Korrina's Mega Lucario. Ash was convinced that Korrina wasn't the only one who trained, both Pokémon stared off as this was going to be the final battle. Pikachu used Quick Attack and combined it with Electro Ball, launching a fast Electro Ball, but this was deflected by Bone Rush. Pikachu's Iron Tail was blocked and Lucario kicked him into the air. While in mid-air, Pikachu hit Lucario with Thunderbolt, but it immediately countered with Aura Sphere, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was able to get to up and showed his strength by unleashing his electricity. Lucario then used Metal Sound, which Pikachu drowned out using his Thunderbolt hitting Lucario as well. Then Lucario used Aura Sphere, but Pikachu used Iron Tail to bounce off it and jump, similar to the Draco Meteor Climb. Lucario jumped towards Pikachu and used Bone Rush, but Pikachu countered with Iron Tail. While both Pokémon were clashing with their attacks, they both crashed down on the ground. Both Pokémon, however, were still standing. Lucario's Power-Up Punch was then countered with Iron Tail, and its Aura Sphere then collided with Pikachu's Electro Ball. Pikachu was able to recover first from the collision and struck Lucario with Thunderbolt, finally defeating the Aura Pokémon, thus giving Ash the victory and earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}. As the group prepared to depart for [[Coumarine City]], Pikachu and Lucario bumped fists as a promise to battle again someday.

In ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Pikachu helped out a {{AP|Goomy}}, after they were stolen by Team Rocket. Knowing that his Thunderbolt wouldn't break their cage, Pikachu kept ramming it and managed to bend the bars. While Goomy managed to escape, Pikachu couldn't fit through until Goomy used its slime on its body to make him slip right through the bars. After getting out, they both ran off until they were noticed by Team Rocket, who gave chase. When Pikachu and Goomy were about to be hit by Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s Shadow Ball, Ash arrived with Fletchinder to protect them. When Team Rocket were about to capture Pikachu again, Ash told him to use Iron Tail, destroying the cage. While battling their foes, Pikachu used Electro Ball, countering Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball. Then {{TP|James|Inkay}} used Psybeam, which managed to confuse Pikachu and Fletchinder, causing them to attack each other instead. As they were about to be finished off by Pumpkaboo and Inkay's {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, Goomy shielded them with its body and used {{m|Bide}} to attack Team Rocket's Pokémon. As the confusion wore off, Ash had Pikachu finish Team Rocket off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu informed to Ash that Goomy wanted to go with them, allowing him to capture it.

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Pikachu alongside Sliggoo was used in a Double Battle against Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu. Before the battle could start, he was grabbed by a mecha created by Team Rocket, but Sliggoo was able to save Pikachu with Dragon Breath. After the mecha took Sliggoo, along with Wartortle and Raichu, Pikachu split up with Ash and Serena to look for them. After Sliggoo evolved into Goodra to save Ash and Pikachu, they restarted their battle. Pikachu hit Wartortle with Quick Attack and then quickly backed off to avoid a Rapid Spin. While Goodra was charging its Bide, Raichu fired a Focus Blast at it. Pikachu tried blocking the attack with Electro Ball, but got hit by Wartortle's Rapid Spin. Goodra, however, withstood the attack and fired off its Bide. Wartortle tried countering with Hydro Pump, but Pikachu blocked the attack with Iron Tail, causing Bide to hit its mark. Pikachu then countered Raichu's Focus Blast with Electro Ball to protect Goodra and after Goodra managed to daze both Pokémon by throwing Wartortle into Raichu, Pikachu and Goodra defeated them with a Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} combo.

In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Lumiose Gym Battle against Clemont and went up against his Bunnelby. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig, which was too fast for Pikachu to evade. Pikachu hit Bunnelby with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from and managed to hit Pikachu several times with Double Slap. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which the Digging Pokémon caught with his ears. This reminded Bonnie of their first battle. Instead of letting Pikachu counter with Electro Ball, Bunnelby used his new move, {{m|Wild Charge}}, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Bunnelby then hit Pikachu with another Dig. He then responded with Quick Attack, but Bunnelby used Dig again. However, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, forcing Bunnelby to emerge and dealing major damage. Pikachu then used another Iron Tail, defeating Bunnelby. When Clemont sent out {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, Ash recalled Pikachu. He was later sent out to battle Clemont's last Pokémon, {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. Pikachu could take advantage of Luxray's {{m|Electric Terrain}}, which increased the power of Electric-type moves. Pikachu first used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Luxray's Thunder Fang. He then used Wild Charge on Pikachu, dealing a lot of damage. Luxray followed up with Swift, but Pikachu was able to deflect it back to Luxray with Iron Tail. However, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon countered with Wild Charge, defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his three-round battle against [[Sawyer]]. He went up against {{p|Bagon}}, although he had a type-disadvantage. Pikachu's speedy Quick Attack was able to outmaneuver Bagon's Headbutt. After Thunderbolt and Dragon Breath collided in a draw, Pikachu jumped into the air and prepared to use Iron Tail. Sawyer had Bagon use Dragon Claw, but it was overpowered by Iron Tail and Pikachu knocked the Rock Head Pokémon out.

In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Pikachu, along with Ash and his friends, visited the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. There, they were tricked by Team Rocket, who separated the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. During a battle against his enemies, Pikachu avoided being recalled into his Poké Ball and hid in one of the vent shafts without them knowing. He then first tried to free Ash and his friends with Iron Tail, but when that failed and Team Rocket discovered him, Pikachu attempted to get the briefcase that held the group's Poké Balls. Meowth then chased after Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, the Team Rocket trio attempted to escape with all the Poké Balls they stole, though in the process of doing so, they saw Ash and Pikachu were after them. Pikachu managed to stop their van with his Thunderbolt and Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one battle, which he accepted. Pikachu managed to defeat his foe despite the Scratch Cat Pokémon attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After Team Rocket got blasted off again, the group was invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Pikachu was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Serena's Eevee]] and Shauna's Ivysaur with Tierno's Blastoise as his partner. Pikachu started the battle by firing an Electro Ball, which was countered by Ivysaur's Energy Ball. Then Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Eevee, but Ivysaur protected Eevee by using Razor Leaf. While Blastoise was struggling with Eevee, Pikachu scored a hit on Ivysaur with Iron Tail. Ivysaur retaliated with Vine Whip, but Pikachu dodged it. The battle was later called off by Serena. Ash and Tierno then decided to battle against each other and Pikachu faced Blastoise. A collision between Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump took place, but the outcome of the battle remains unknown.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', while he wasn't chosen for Ash's Double Battle with [[Olympia]], Pikachu did help Ash keep track of when the {{m|Future Sight}} from Olympia's two {{p|Meowstic}} would strike by using his tail as a makeshift timer. This eventually allowed Frogadier and Talonflame to turn the attack against them, and ultimately win the battle.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', after the gang viewed the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]], Pikachu got pulled into [[Squishy]]'s dream by a {{p|Darkrai}}. In the dream, the group's Pokémon were either in their evolved or pre-evolved form and could speak human language, while humans spoke like Pokémon. Freaked out by this, Pikachu fled and ran into Meowth, who had also been pulled into the dream. Pikachu and Meowth then encountered a talking Squishy. Suddenly a flaming ghost appeared, who attacked them. They eventually managed to escape from it and Squishy then revealed a glimpse of its true strength to Pikachu and Meowth. Pikachu and Meowth tried to help Squishy getting to its home so it could gain this strength. On their way they got attacked by the flaming ghost again and Pikachu decided to battle it. Pikachu's attacks, however, couldn't land, but he was soon aided by the group's Pokémon and together managed to defeat the creature. In the end, Pikachu, Meowth and Squishy were woken by Clemont's invention.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Pikachu partnered up with [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} in a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. Later, Pikachu was used in a Tag Battle along with Serena's Eevee, where he faced James's Inkay and Miette's Slurpuff. Pikachu scored a direct hit on Slurpuff with Quick Attack, who then quickly recovered and fired off an Energy Ball. Pikachu, however, got saved by Eevee's Swift and after dodging a Psybeam from Inkay, he hit the Revolving Pokémon with Iron Tail. Pikachu and Eevee were then forced to jump in order to avoid another Psybeam, but got trapped after landing in Slurpuff's {{m|Cotton Spore}}. Unable to escape, Pikachu and Eevee were vulnerable to Inkay's Psybeam and got hit hard. Pikachu then stepped in and got hit by Inkay's Tackle meant for Eevee. Later, while Eevee struggled to get up, Pikachu continued to battle using Electro Ball and then blocked Slurpuff's Energy Ball with Thunderbolt. After Eevee's Evolution into Sylveon, Sylveon managed to defeat both Inkay and Slurpuff with {{m|Fairy Wind}}, giving Ash and Serena the win.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in another three round battle against Sawyer, where he faced Sawyer's {{p|Honedge}}. Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Honedge's Fury Cutter and then defeated it with a Thunderbolt.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Pikachu was very worried as Ash had left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone, and spent most of the episode trying to find Ash. Eventually, Team Rocket tried to catch Pikachu but when Pikachu tried to fend them off, they were actually underwhelmed by his power, implying that without Ash's friendship motivating him Pikachu was not able to perform as strong as usual. After Ash returned at the end of the episode, an overjoyed Pikachu was able to quickly send Team Rocket blasting off.

In [[XY122|the next episode]], he participated in Ash's rematch against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Bergmite}}. Bergmite was able to move at a high speed by skating on the icy battlefield, allowing it to dodge an incoming Electro Ball. After jumping in the air to avoid Bergmite, Pikachu was hit by its Icy Wind, numbing his legs, slowing him down. As a result, Bergmite was able to easily dodge his Quick Attack, but was then hit from behind by a Thunderbolt. Bergmite then used {{m|Sharpen}}, encasing it in a diamond-shaped block of ice. It then rushed forwards using Rapid Spin, hurling Pikachu into an ice stalactite. Ash then had Pikachu run around to get rid of the numbness in his legs. Now having regained his Speed, Pikachu was able to knock Bergmite over with Quick Attack and hit it with Iron Tail, breaking through the block of ice and defeating it. Next, Pikachu faced Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}}. He immediately scored a hit with Thunderbolt, but Avalugg withstood the attack and retaliated with an extra powerful {{m|Avalanche}}. Avalugg then went after Pikachu using {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Pikachu created a hole in the battlefield with Iron Tail, causing Avalugg to get caught in it, stopping its movements. Avalugg, however, was able to use Stone Edge while spinning and despite Pikachu's attempt to destroy the rocks with Thunderbolt, he was hit hard and got knocked out.

Pikachu was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', where Ash chose him as his third Pokémon in his battle against Sawyer. He was sent out against Sawyer's powerful {{p|Clawitzer}}. Pikachu used the forest battle field to his advantage by climbing into the trees and jump from branch to branch in order to confuse Clawitzer. Despite this, Clawitzer was still able to dodge his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack by launching itself in the air. After dodging an Ice Beam, Pikachu launched an Electro Ball which collided with Clawitzer's Dragon Pulse. Clawitzer then chased after him with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, but Pikachu was able lose it in the forest, allowing him to attack with a surprise Iron Tail. Clawitzer, however, reacted in time and was able to grab Pikachu's tail with its pincer and prepared to launch a {{m|Water Pulse}}. Ash then had Pikachu use Electro Ball to break free from Clawitzer's grip and finish the Howitzer Pokémon off with Thunderbolt. Pikachu then faced Sawyer's next Pokémon, his {{p|Aegislash}}. Pikachu tried to use the forest again, but Aegislash prevented him from doing so by chopping down the trees using {{m|Sacred Sword}}. [[XY128|Continuing their battle]], Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, but Aegislash protected itself from the attack with {{m|King's Shield}}, which also lowered Pikachu's Attack. He was then unable to keep up with Aegislash's fast moves and was hit twice by powerful Sacred Sword attacks. Pikachu then tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but Aegislash once again used King's Shield to protect itself. Ash then noticed that Aegislash had to attach itself to its shield in order to use King's Shield. Using this knowledge, he had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, which caused the chopped down logs to fly up in the air. Pikachu then used its great speed to jump on the logs, confusing Aegislash and avoiding its attacks. As Aegislash tried going for King's Shield again, Pikachu knocked one of the wooden chunks between Aegislash's shield, making it unable to defend itself properly. With his opponent left vulnerable, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to defeat Aegislash. As Sawyer had lost three of his Pokémon the battlefield was changed and Ash decided to recall Pikachu. He was later used again to face [[Sawyer's Sceptile]]. Pikachu started off with a Quick Attack, but Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, throwing him in the air. He, however, was able to break through the leaves and strike Sceptile with Thunderbolt. After a clash between Iron Tail and {{m|Leaf Blade}}, Pikachu was unable to dodge Sceptile's {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and was knocked out.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Pikachu was used as Ash's first Pokémon in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]]. He went up against Alain's {{p|Tyranitar}}, who summoned a {{weather|sandstorm}} upon entering the battlefield due to its {{a|Sand Stream}} Ability which deteriorated Pikachu's sight. Despite this, Pikachu was able to avoid a Dark Pulse. Ash then had Pikachu slam its tail into the field's water stream with Iron Tail to splash the water in the air which cancelled out the sandstorm as well as wetted Tyranitar. This allowed Pikachu to strike Tyranitar with Thunderbolt, dealing major damage due to Tyranitar's wet body. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but Tyranitar blocked the attack with Stone Edge and then proceeded to slam the stone pillars with its tail to send multiple stone shards flying at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, deflected all of the shards with Iron Tail and then used the attack once again to counter Tyranitar's Crunch. Tyranitar, however, threw Pikachu in the air, but he was able to launch an Electro Ball in mid-air which defeated Tyranitar. Pikachu was then recalled. He was later used again to face Alain's Metagross. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Metagross used Agility to dodge the attack and corner Pikachu. Due to this, Pikachu was hit hard by powerful Metal Claw, {{m|Rock Slide}} and Meteor Mash attacks. As Metagross charged another Meteor Mash to finish him off, Pikachu was able to obstruct it with Electro Ball, allowing him to jump on top Metagross. Now he was able to continuously use Thunderbolt, dealing serious damage to the Iron Leg Pokémon. Metagross was eventually able to shake Pikachu off, throwing him in the air, but Pikachu headed downwards and dealt a decisive hit with Iron Tail, knocking Metagross out. Pikachu then faced Alain's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu managed to hit Charizard with a speedy Quick Attack, followed up by a super effective Thunderbolt. The battle continued in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', where Pikachu once again hit Charizard with Thunderbolt. Afterwards Ash ordered him to use Quick Attack, but he was too exhausted to use the attack and ended up getting hit by Charizard's Flamethrower. When Charizard repeated its attack, Pikachu used Iron Tail on the ground to create a shield of dirt to block it. He then used Iron Tail again to intercept Charizard's Dragon Claw, but was overpowered and got knocked out.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', he and Ash went with Alain to go look for [[Mairin]], but once they found her they were obstructed by the giant roots. They were then ambushed by [[Celosia]] before her {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} hit them and knocked Ash unconscious. Pikachu attempted to protect his Trainer but eventually fell to the Confuse Ray's effects as well and passed out. Pikachu, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was then taken captive by [[Lysandre]] on the top of Prism Tower. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. Alain's Charizard broke him and the other Pokémon free with Dragon Claw, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and Shiny Mega Gyarados together. During the battle, Pikachu and Goodra combined their Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse to defend against {{p|Pyroar}} and Gyarados's {{m|Incinerate}}. After {{AP|Hawlucha}} was able to hit Pyroar with a super-effective {{m|Karate Chop}}, Pikachu manages to defeat the Royal Pokémon with Thunderbolt. [[XY134|Continuing the battle]], Pikachu and Noivern fired off their Thunderbolt and {{m|Boomburst}} which were countered by Gyarados's Hyper Beam. Pikachu was then targeted by a Dragon Tail, but Noivern pushed him aside, taking the attack in his place which knocked Noivern out. In the end, Pikachu, Greninja and Charizard were the only ones left facing Lysandre's Gyarados, although now aided by [[Malva]]'s Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', where Pikachu hit Gyarados with Quick Attack after avoiding its Hyper Beam and then finished it off with a Thunderbolt.

Pikachu later helped Serena's Braixen, [[Steven's Metagross]] and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. He, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the creature's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Gym Leaders of Kalos and Diantha. After strategizing, in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save [[Chespie]], bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Giant Rock, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Pikachu, Greninja and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock. In [[XY137|the next episode]], Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against Serena and her Braixen. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as he was able to hit Braixen with a speedy Quick Attack and break through her defenses with Iron Tail before hitting her with a second one. After dodging a Flamethrower, he clashed with Braixen's Scratch using his Iron Tail, knocking both Pokémon back. Braixen was then able to use Fire Blast, successfully hitting Pikachu. The battle was then called off by Ash.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Pikachu had to say goodbye to Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and their Pokémon, since he and Ash would soon return to Kanto. While everyone said their goodbyes, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} ran off since he didn't want the group to split apart. Using his electricity, Pikachu and the group were able to find Dedenne and calm it down. After Serena had departed, Pikachu participated in one final battle between Ash and Clemont, in which he faced Clemont's Bunnelby, just like in their first batttle. During the battle, both Pokémon's moves proved to be equal in power, but the end result of the battle was left unknown. Ash and Pikachu then separated from Clemont and Bonnie, and finally arrived in Pallet Town.

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
Pikachu joined Ash and Delia on a vacation to the [[Alola]] region in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. On their way to the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], Pikachu and Ash followed a wild {{p|Grubbin}} into a forest, where the two noticed {{an|Kiawe|a Trainer}} riding a {{p|Charizard}}. They followed him and arrived at the Pokémon School, where they met some of the school's students as well as {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Oak's cousin, [[Samson Oak]]. Ash later used Pikachu to battle a trio of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who were harassing Kiawe, and their trio of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Salandit}}, and {{p|Yungoos}}. Pikachu was able to dodge their Salandit's attacks with ease and seriously damage them with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Kiawe then had his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} which knocked [[Team Skull]]'s Pokémon out in one shot. That evening, Pikachu and Ash followed {{DL|List of recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deity]] of Melemele Island, who handed Ash a [[Z-Ring]] and an [[Electrium Z]]. Pikachu remained in Alola with Ash, when he decided to study at the Pokémon School.

In [[SM002|the next episode]], Ash's classmates had a surprise welcome party for him, where he and Pikachu participated in several challenges. During their lunch break, Tapu Koko appeared again and stole Ash's hat, prompting Ash and his classmates to follow it. Arriving in a forest, Tapu Koko challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle. Pikachu was overwhelmed by Tapu Koko's fast moves and despite Electric Terrain being created by Tapu Koko's Ability {{a|Electric Surge}}, Pikachu's Thunderbolt didn't faze it. Tapu Koko then tapped Ash's Z-Ring, activating it and allowing Pikachu to perform {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}, which destroyed a large part of the area but also caused Ash's Electrium Z to shatter. Afterwards, Tapu Koko flew off again.

In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside {{AP|Rowlet}}, he first fought a Yungoos and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Pikachu and Rowlet's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using Rowlet's {{m|Leafage}}, allowing Pikachu to knock Gumshoos out with Iron Tail, while Rowlet defeated Yungoos. Afterwards, Pikachu and Rowlet had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. This Gumshoos proved to be extremely powerful, being able to endure Pikachu's Thunderbolt and knock him to the ground, after which it defeated Rowlet. After his Electro Ball got redirected by Sand Attack, Pikachu was hit hard once again. Pikachu then used Gumshoos's Sand Attack against it by hiding in the sand while using Quick Attack, allowing him confuse and repeatedly attack Gumshoos before finishing it off with a Thunderbolt. This win earned Ash a [[Normalium Z]].

Pikachu was used as Ash's final Pokémon in his battle against [[Hala]] during the Melemele Island grand trial in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''. He faced Hala's {{p|Hariyama}}, who was able to block his attacks using its big hands and hit him afterwards. While repeatedly getting hit by Hariyama's {{m|Arm Thrust}}, Pikachu eventually managed to slip past Hariyama and strike it with Thunderbolt. Hariyama, however, was not fazed by this attack and proceeded to use {{m|Belly Drum}}, maximizing its Attack but also halving its health. Pikachu then used Quick Attack in an attempt to dodge Hariyama's Z-Move {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}, but was ultimately hit by the attack. After getting up, Pikachu circled around Hariyama using Quick Attack and managed to knock it off its feet using Iron Tail. Ash used this opportunity to have Pikachu perform {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, which sent Hariyama flying and knocked it out. Having cleared the Melemele Island grand trial, Ash was rewarded a new Electrium Z.

In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Ash and Pikachu trained for a rematch against Tapu Koko. The next day, the two were greeted by Tapu Koko again and were challenged to another battle. Unlike their last battle, Pikachu managed get a few hits on the guardian deity, but was eventually struck by its powerful attacks. Ash and Pikachu showed their improvements by performing Gigavolt Havoc, which was this time powerful enough to sent Tapu Koko flying. A clash between Pikachu and Tapu Koko, however, blasted the former off a cliff, prompting Ash to jump after him. The two were saved in time by Tapu Koko, who flew off afterwards.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', Professor Kukui tasked everyone with switching their partner Pokémon with somebody else. As a result, Pikachu was given to {{an|Lillie}}, whilst [[Snowy]] went to Ash. Because of her fear of Pokémon, Lillie decided to have a battle with [[Hobbes]] and his {{p|Oricorio}} to help conquer her fear where despite her lack of battle experience, Lillie was able to defeat Oricorio and was able to touch Pikachu. Ash then proposed a battle against Lillie and Pikachu, to show them how strong he and Snowy had gotten together.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Misty in which he battled her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. The two started with a collision of Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then rushed towards Gyarados and scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, sending Gyarados flying. Pikachu then started charging up Electro Ball as Gyarados used {{m|Rain Dance}}, confusing everyone. Ash told Pikachu to ignore the rain and attack. Gyarados, however, countered with a Rain Dance powered Hurricane, which destroyed the Electro Ball and sent Pikachu flying. Deciding it was time to get serious, Misty revealed her [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Gyarados into Mega Gyarados. Gyarados launched a Hydro Pump that destroyed the rock Pikachu was standing on and sent him flying into the water. Not letting up, Gyarados tried to attack Pikachu with Crunch, but was struck by Iron Tail after Pikachu managed to climb onto its body. Gyarados then dove underwater and used Hurricane, creating a cyclone of water around Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to break it, but failed. Ash soon came up with the idea to have Pikachu run on Thunderbolt's electricity with Quick Attack, allowing Pikachu to escape from the cyclone. The two then preformed their Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc, which hit Gyarados head on, defeating it and giving Ash the win.

During Ash and his classmates' travels in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Pikachu fought Lusamine, who had been fused with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}. Eventually, Pikachu and Ash prepared to perform Gigavolt Havoc, until Ash's Electrium Z mysteriously turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]]. This allowed the two to perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for the first time; the Z-Move defeated Nihilego, weakening it enough for Lillie and {{an|Gladion}} to pull Lusamine free from its hold.

In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his trial battle at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, where he battled Team Rocket and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Mimikyu's barrage of attacks, eventually leaving him open for Mimikyu's Z-Move, {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. However, Pikachu was able to survive the attack by protecting itself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. Using his new move, Pikachu was also able to trap Mimikyu, which allowed him and Ash to perform a Z-Move of their own. Ash's Electrium Z then turned into a Pikashunium Z again, allowing Pikachu to use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt once more and defeat Mimikyu. This allowed Ash to qualify for a chance to challenge [[Nanu]]'s grand trial.

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' and ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
It was revealed that Pikachu also loves drinking orange juice, most likely because of its sourness in ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]''.

During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships.

[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in a bad mood]]
In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Metagross}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second of Ash's Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating [[Brandon's legendary titans#Regice|Brandon's Regice]] to win the Brave Symbol. He later fought {{si|Tobias}}'s Latios to a draw in [[DP189|the semi-finals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but it smacked the stone away with his tail, choosing to become stronger as it is, and defeated Raichu using its superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] a Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were evenly matched, until Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve, and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed and spinning techniques learned from {{an|Dawn}}. In the interim, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also liked Pikachu to stay as he is.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having a type advantage with Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, Panpour, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior. In addition, Pikachu tends to struggle when his mobility is hindered, such as when the aforementioned Panpour weakened Volt Tackle with {{m|Mud Sport}}, or when his legs were numbed by [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Bergmite}} and its {{m|Icy Wind}}, preventing him from using Quick Attack.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu and Dawn Piplup.png|thumb|left|250px|Pikachu walking along Dawn's Piplup]]
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Pikachu is always becoming a constant target whenever he gets captured by Team Rocket. Sometimes, they succeed with nets, cages, capsules or different devices, but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket blasting off with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Most of time in this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he didn't get stolen. On other occasions, he battles them with Ash.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into Volt Tackle which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves, in which Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball, which it learned while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

===Pikachu's imitations===
Pikachu has demonstrated a great talent for mimicking Pokémon, altering the look of his physical features to match another Pokémon's appearance. He will occasionally use this talent to specify what Pokémon or person he is talking about. These imitation skills were notably put to use during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], where Pikachu was able to thrill the audience without the need for a costume or make-up.

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," but this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in [[SS028]].
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from [[Professor Oak]] after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at [[Mt. Silver]], and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

{{bulbanews/3|Cap Pikachu, Pikashunium Z to be available in Japan|I Choose You Cap Pikachu to appear in Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon|Ash hat Pikachu distribution announced for American, PAL region games}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and were distributed in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot evolve. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

In Japan, the Pikachu were distributed via single-use [[serial code]] to those who pre-ordered tickets to the 20th movie, with one code per ticket. The Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeemed the code. The codes only worked on Japanese region games. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

In American, PAL, and Taiwanese region games, the Pikachu were distributed through a single-use public serial code released via the Pokémon website and in a similar vein to the Japanese event—the Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeems the code. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

A seventh Cap Pikachu, wearing the hat Ash wears in [[M20|the twentieth movie]], debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attend screenings of the 20th movie.

{{main|Pikachu (05-01)}}
In [[Pokémon Tretta]], Ash and his Pikachu appear as a Master-class Tretta in the ''{{Tretta|Invasion! Mega Rayquaza}}'' expansion. When Pikachu is in play, he appears wearing [[Ash's hat]] from the {{series|XY}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Surfing Pikachu BW087.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu {{DL|Pikachu variants|Surfing Pikachu|surfing}}]]
[[File:Pikachu as female Pikachu.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu disguised as a female]]
* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this Pokémon senryū about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', it was officially confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]], as a female {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Attract}} affected him. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (Pikachu was shown when the narrator said that males had to carry packages), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every Gym battle in [[Johto|a region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.
* As Pikachu hates being in his [[Poké Ball]], it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only six confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', "[[Snow Way Out!]]", ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', and ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''.

'''Ash's Glalie''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオニゴーリ''' ''Satoshi's Onigohri'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by {{Ash}} during his travels through [[Hoenn]].

==History==
===Advanced Generation series===
Glalie was first seen in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'', on [[Izabe Island]] as a Snorunt. It followed Ash and the gang through the snow to the [[Pokémon Center]], where it began to cause trouble and stole Ash's Badge case. Once Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Corphish}} cornered it, Snorunt froze Ash's {{Badge|Stone}}, threw it into the air and escaped with the rest of the Badges using {{m|Double Team}}. Snorunt then started dropping the Badges one by one to make its "game" more interesting. After a small meeting with Team Rocket, it froze Ash with {{m|Icy Wind}} and left the Center through the window into an oncoming snowstorm. Ash follows it and they end up lost in the snow. After Ash got knocked unconscious by protecting it from a small avalanche, Snorunt took him to a cave, safe from the blizzard. After Ash awakes, Snorunt hands him some apples and while Ash begins to trust the mischievous Pokémon, Snorunt runs off into the blizzard with his hat. It takes the hat back to the Pokémon Center and then leads the gang to where Ash is. Reunited, the gang scold Snorunt and ask for the other Badges; however they are interrupted by Team Rocket when they capture Snorunt and Pikachu. Snorunt quickly escaped and saved Pikachu, before battling Team Rocket's Pokémon. Later on, Snorunt still refused to return the Badge case, so Ash battled it and subsequently caught it. It was introduced to the gang's other Pokémon at the end of the episode where it continued to prank everyone.

In the next episode, ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'', Snorunt joined Max in his effort to get an unwell Ralts to a Pokémon Center.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'' Ash chose Snorunt as well as his Pikachu as his first two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] in the first round of the [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle; they went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Seaking}}. Pikachu used his {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Sealeo but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it back to Snorunt. Pikachu then used {{m|Thunder}}, but Seaking used Horn Drill against to reflect the attack to Snorunt again but this time Pikachu protected Snorunt taking most of the damage. Sealeo then used {{m|Blizzard}} on the two, Pikachu took a lot of damage but Snorunt barely felt the attack being part {{type|Ice}} and jumped around happily. Snorunt then used its Icy Wind to stop the Blizzard creating an Ice Pillar blocking everyone's view but Sealeo and Seaking destroyed it with their {{m|Aurora Beam}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}} respectively, this created ice shards which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on, Snorunt used {{m|Headbutt}} whilst Pikachu used {{m|Iron Tail}}, Seaking then used Hyper Beam on Snorunt and Sealeo used Aurora Beam on Pikachu, whilst Pikachu was able to dodge the attack, Snorunt wasn't and the Hyper Beam knocked it out.

In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations!]]'', Ash began trying to teach it {{m|Ice Beam}}. While learning the new move, Snorunt ended up freezing people multiple times, including its Trainer and {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}. Finally in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', {{Ho|Robert}} gave it some words of advice on how to focus the attack while battling Team Rocket during the Grand Festival, Snorunt then evolves into {{p|Glalie}} and sends them blasting off with its newly mastered Ice Beam.

Glalie had several battles in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] and proved to be quite a powerhouse in Ash's team. In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', it teamed up with {{AP|Grovyle}} to battle [[Clark]] and his Pokémon, {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Charizard}}. Glalie's Icy Wind did not damage either Pokémon but managed to hold off {{m|Heat Wave}}. Grovyle and Quilava both went down, leaving Glalie against Charizard. Glalie froze up part of the battlefield so it could avoid Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}, but ended up being knocked around its own ice pillars. Glalie managed to change this to its advantage, using the momentum to raise its speed and used a high speed Headbutt to flatten Charizard and give Ash the win.

Ash used Glalie as his third Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}}. It went up against her {{p|Dugtrio}}, Dugtrio used {{m|Dig}} but Glalie used Headbutt on the ground forcing Dugtrio to emerge and dealing damage, Glalie then used Ice Beam, knocking Dugtrio out. Glalie then went up against her {{p|Misdreavus}}, Glalie used Ice Beam but Katie had Misdreavus take the attack, Glalie then used Headbutt, whilst being hit, Misdreavus used {{m|Destiny Bond}}, the Headbutt then defeated Misdreavus, but due to the effect of Destiny Bond, Glalie was also knocked out.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Glalie as his sixth and final Pokémon in his Full Battle against [[Morrison]], it went up against his final Pokémon, his {{TP|Morrison|Metang}} who had the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]]. Glaie used Headbutt whilst {{p|Metang}} used {{m|Take Down}}, with Take Down dealing more damage, Glalie used Ice Beam, which Metang was able to redirect with {{m|Confusion}} hitting Glalie. It was then hit with Take Down. Glalie used Ice Beam and Metang reflected it with Confusion again, but Ash saw this coming and used Icy Wind to redirect the attack back to Metang again, hitting it. Glalie hit Metang with Headbutt, but Metang countered with a super-effective {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Glalie used Headbutt, spinning to increase its power, whilst Metang used Meteor Mash. Just before the collision Glalie ducked, avoiding the Meteor Mash and hitting the spinning Headbutt, knocking out Metang, winning Ash the battle and moving Ash to the next round of the Victory Tournament.

Later, Ash used Glalie as his first Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}. It went up against his {{p|Sceptile}}, Glalie used Ice Beam whilst Sceptile used {{m|Solar Beam}} creating a massive explosion. In the [[AG131|next episode]], it was revealed that this explosion knocked out both Pokémon.

In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Ash left Glalie at Prof. Oak's laboratory, before he went to challenge the Battle Frontier.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
[[File:Ash and Glalie.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash and Glalie]]
He returned to Ash’s team in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Upon seeing his Trainer, it froze Ash with Ice Beam, which {{AP|Torkoal}} later thawed him out. In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Glalie was seen training with {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Infernape}} before Ash’s battle with [[Conway]]. Ash was initially going to use his Glalie because of its power, to try to overwhelm Conway, but changed his mind as he knew that he couldn't depend on sheer power alone. In the end, Glalie was not seen participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

===Best Wishes series===
Glalie was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

==Personality and characteristics==
In its first appearances as a {{p|Snorunt}}, it was very mischievous and troublesome, constantly playing pranks on Ash and the gang. Since its capture, it has been very energetic and giggly; seeming to laugh at everything whether it is good or bad. However, it has demonstrated that it can be serious a few times, namely when it rescued Ash from perishing in a blizzard or when it froze some berries to help [[Max]] treat a sick {{p|Ralts}}. Sometimes Snorunt seems irrational, most notably when Snorunt argued with a {{p|Kirlia}} over what was best for the Ralts Max had took in to his care. A running gag in the anime had him freeze people with his {{type|Ice}} attacks, usually Ash. Even after gaining control over its attacks it continued to freeze its Trainer when he came to [[Sinnoh]].

==Trivia==
* Glalie was the only member of Ash's Hoenn team that did not appear in a [[Pokémon movie]].
* As a Snorunt, it was Ash's only Pokémon to have a [[branched evolution]]. However, at the time of its capture, Snorunt only had one evolution.
* In the English dub of ''[[AG114|Date Expectations!]]'', {{an|Brock}} states that Snorunt "still needs to work on '''his''' Ice Beam", implying that Snorunt is male. However, this is only in the English dub.
* Glalie is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon still in Ash's possession.
* It is Ash's only Hoenn Pokémon who was never seen during the Kanto Battle Frontier saga.

This is a list of Pokémon that includes all Pokémon that can legitimately have their Hidden [[Ability|Abilities]] in [[Generation VI]].

While {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Flygon}}, and other similar Pokémon do not have a Hidden Ability that differs from the regular Ability, at least one of their evolutionary relatives do have one; therefore, they are included on this list. For details on how to obtain Pokémon with their Hidden Ability in Generation V, see [[List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation V)]].

Talk:Gourgeist (Pokémon)

2014-08-05T03:03:09Z

JacobCrystal: /* Trivia */

I've already mentioned the feminine appearance, this being the hair and shrill voice, and then there's the living hair and malevolent nature, as well as the fangs. As much as the Gourd interpretation is more valid, my viewpoint is hardly able to be rejected outright, is it? Even so, the main similarity is in the name, and why else give it such long, prehensile hair? I doubt the candle wax explanation.

That's basically as far as I can argue, to be honest. I understand if this seems like a bit of projection on my part. It's the first thing I thought of, 2 Gs you see, very similar to Gorgon. I thought of Gourd-Gorgon-Ghost. --[[User:Headsprouter|Headsprouter]] ([[User talk:Headsprouter|talk]]) 00:04, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

== Just a thought... ==

Are we just gonna ignore the possiblity that the "Gour" in Gourgeist may be referring to Gorgons? Its feminine appearance would explain that. Candles never even crossed my mind, and I think the hair being dripping wax is a bit of a stretch. Even so, to solidify my point, we have mentions of less likely name origins such as "Forret" in Forretress, so why not give this possibility a mention?

[[User:Headsprouter|Headsprouter]] ([[User talk:Headsprouter|talk]]) 18:53, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
:Does it have any relation to gorgons? I'm not a mythology buff, but I don't see any whatsoever. If there isn't one, or it's super tenuous, then it's probably not worth a mention. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 18:56, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Is is noteworthy that this thing learns Trick-or-Treat a ridiculous FOUR times by level-up, with none of these instances being at Level 1? Kyurem's page mentions the oddity of learning Glaciate twice... I think four times is pretty significant, I just don't know the best way to word it. Or if any other Pokémon does the same thing. --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 00:18, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

:Added. Also on the note of trivia, it was my understanding that females passed on their size but males didn't, so a male with its Hidden Ability could pass it down with Ditto to a different size. Could somebody check this, please? [[User:JacobCrystal|JacobCrystal]] ([[User talk:JacobCrystal|talk]]) 03:03, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

==Name==
Gourgeist = gorgeous?

It makes sense, considering its hair. --[[User:Sartharis|Sartharis, God of Twilight]] ([[User talk:Sartharis|talk]]) 00:45, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
:Those are arms. And given how nothing about it mentions it being pretty, it's unlikely. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:24, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

== ?? ? ? ==

If ン (n) before p = m, then why aren't we spelling パンプジン as Pampujin, yet we're spelling [[Wikstrom|ガンピ]] as Gampi? --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 19:21, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
:Because all Pokémon use the {{wp|Hepburn romanization}} of their Japanese name until the trademarked romanization is revealed (unlike during BW, when we used inconsistently both fan romanizations and Hepburn romanizations). However, characters' Japanese names have often an obvious origin, meaning that we can use a sensible romanization instantly.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:33, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
::But the "obvious origin" here is the word "pumpkin" which is romanized in Japanese as パンプキン -- note the first three characters being the same as the first three in Gourgeist's Japanese name, yet the word is still "pumpkin" rather than "punpkin" (which honestly is just not possible to say out loud). It's Pampujin. --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 07:52, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Unless Pampujin is the official romanization, it shouldn't be used. We don't assume how names are supposed to be spelt. Also, your logic is slightly flawed. If that were accurate, it could very well be spelled as "Pumpujin." [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 10:00, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
::::I'm not pushing "Pumpujin" for basically the reasons you said; it's just a little too far off. However, what Relicant said up there was true: In japanese, the letter N (ン) when written before M, P, or B, is pronounced /m/. I used "pumpkin" (パンプキン) as an example but if that's too convenient for you, lamp (ランプ) also follows this rule. If you want an example in the Pokémon world, check Mamoswine (マンムー ''Ma'''m'''moo''). I think following the pronunciation rules of Japanese is necessary in all cases. --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 17:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
:::::It's actually as correct to romanize it as "n", and we have always done so; [[List of Japanese Pokémon names|see how Happiny's, Mamoswine's and Lampent's Japanese names are romanized (and I'm meaning the Hepburn romanizations, not the official romanizations)]]. Wikipedia also always romanizes it as "n".--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:39, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
::::::Now, earlier you said "Characters' Japanese names have often an obvious origin, meaning that we can use a sensible romanization instantly." which begs the question: What constitutes an "obvious origin" (which "pumpkin" is) and why does this not apply to Pokémon as well? --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 17:46, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
:::::::I'm not an expert on the matter by any means, but I suspect the difference is that sooner or later, we always get an official romanization for Pokemon, so we can always wait for that. We don't always get official romanizations for other things, so if something seems obvious for those, it might be the only indicator we ever have, so we might as well use it. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:05, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
::::::::It's easy to romanize humans' names because they're always real human names or single words. However, Pokémon's official romanizations are often unpredictable because they might have more than two origins. For example, while it's obvious that Gourgeist's Japanese name will start with "Pump-", we don't know whether it will end with "-jin", "-jinn" or "-djinn". And everyone thought that Beartic's Japanese name is "Tsunbear" before it was revealed to be "Tunbear".--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 18:09, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::Yeah, it's obvious that the first syllable of its Japanese name is derived from "pumpkin" as you said. Even though we don't know how the remainder of the same will be romanized, doesn't the combination of that and the Japanese pronunciation rules offer sufficient proof that its name will contain an M? I'm just not seeing your logic. --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 23:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

==I have a question.==

so i have noticed that we do not have any ingame images or models of any 6th gen pokemon. why is that? {{unsigned|RayquazaGirl}}
:Our policy is not to take them from other sites unless those sites have given us permission and the image is of high enough quality, and nobody on Bulbapedia has been able and/or willing to buy a capture card in order to get them for ourselves. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 01:14, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

::ohh, ok! i was really confused for a while. thank you!{{unsigned|RayquazaGirl}}

'''Gourgeist''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パンプジン''' ''Pumpjin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pumpkaboo}} when [[trade]]d.

Gourgeist comes in [[Form differences#Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist|four different variations]]: '''Small Size''', '''Average Size''', '''Large Size''', and '''Super Size'''.

==Biology==
Gourgeist is a bipedal, pumpkin Pokémon. Its body is a black pumpkin, with two short stubby feet. There is a face carved into this pumpkin, having triangular eyes and a half-circle mouth, completed with a spike protruding from the top of the shape. Above this pumpkin is the head, being tall, slender and and orange in color. At the top of the head is the face, which has yellow eyes, and a small mouth with no nose present. The mouth has two sharp fangs, with an absence of other visible teeth. It is completed with its peach-colored hair, which down the sides develops limbs. The hair contains bangs which usually cover one eye. The top of its hair contains a crescent shape, which is peach-colored on the outside, and black on the inside. They come in many sizes, the smallest being no more than 2'04" or 0.7m, while the largest are 5'07", or 1.7m.

Gourgeist are malevolent Pokémon that catch their prey in their hairlike arms and take delight in their victims' suffering. On moonless nights, they are known to wander through town streets, singing an eerie song that curses its unfortunate listeners. It and its pre-evolution, {{p|Pumpkaboo}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.

==Trivia==
* A Super Size Gourgeist has a different cry from its other three forms, pitched lower than the cry shared by the other forms.
* Because only Average Size Pumpkaboo can be found in the [[Friend Safari]], only Average Size Gourgeist can have its Hidden Ability {{a|Insomnia}}.
* Gourgeist oddly learns Trick-or-Treat four times, none of which is at level 1. Excluding Smeargle (who only learns the one move), no other Pokémon learns the same move this many times.
** Gourgeist's pre-evolution, Pumpkaboo, only learns Trick-or-Treat three times.
** Gourgeist also learns Shadow Ball twice, and Explosion and Phantom Force twice when including level 1.

===Origin===
Gourgeist appears to be based on both {{wp|gourd}} and modern pumpkin {{wp|Jack-o'-lantern}}s. Its multiple sizes may possibly be a reference to the variety of sizes pumpkins and gourds come in. Its upper body is based on the {{wp|candle}}s within Jack-o'-lanterns themselves, with the curl being its wick and its hair-like extensions its dripping wax.

====Name origin====
Gourgeist is a combination of ''{{wp|gourd}}'' and ''{{wp|geist}}''.

Pumpjin is a combination of ''pumpkin'' and 神 ''{{wp|Shen (Chinese religion)|shin}}'' (deity, spirit), 人 ''jin'' (man), or ''{{wp|jinn}}''.

OK OK I get the idea. [[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 17:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Did anyone yet consider Swampert's name to be derived from 'hurt'? I figured it would make sense as Marshtomp is probably derived from 'stomp'. [[User:Wojjan|Wojjan]] 13:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

==Edit Request==
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG032|Swampert|Ash's Pokédex|Swampert, the Mud Fish Pokémon. Swampert is the evolved form of Marshtomp. It is able to easily drag large stone weighing over 1 ton. It is also able to see through cloudy waters and detect approaching storms with its fin.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Advanced|Hoenn}}

==Another Edit Request==
I use this site all the time and love it, and after many years finally noticed an error - Swampert's TM learnset (at least the one for Gen III) is missing TM 31 Brick Break. I've never edited a wiki site before so I'm a bit timid to do it myself, but if someone has a minute? Also not sure if Swampert can learn TM 31 in all generations.

== Friendship Bases ==

Not just here, but I think all pokemon should have their base friendship values on their pages.

== I think the article needs protection ==

I think the page should be protected since Corocoro apparently leaked with mega Swampert and mega septile info [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 22:51, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

== Freeze Dry & Mega Notes ==

Should we mention that the move Freeze Dry is 4x effective on Swampert and other similar Water/Groundtypes?

Also, should we mention about Swampert's newly revealed Mega?

[[User:Shadowsofme|Shadowsofme]] ([[User talk:Shadowsofme|talk]]) 22:06, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I am not sure if it is worth mentioning that Freeze Dry is 4x effective against such Pokémon. If the admins think that we should have this trivia, I think this would be more suited for Freeze Dry's page, rather than these individual Pokémon pages. As for Mega Swampert, we need to confirm it is official, as I explained on Sceptile's talk page. [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here! The one and only...Uncle Edit!]] ([[User talk:Uncle Edit|talk]]) 22:34, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Simply curious, how do we do that? [[User:Shadowsofme|Shadowsofme]] ([[User talk:Shadowsofme|talk]]) 01:01, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Normally, the leaks are revealed starting around this time of each month, but this one was a few days early, so we are suspecious as a result. To answer your question, I would say the best way to prove it (in this case, at least) would be to wait for what Game Freak has to reveal in the very near future. If what they reveal isn't in the leak, we can assume that said leak isn't official. I'm pretty sure there are other ways we can do this, but I'll let an admin explain in more detail if possible. [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here! The one and only...Uncle Edit!]] ([[User talk:Uncle Edit|talk]]) 01:27, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

E3 just confirmed it, and it appears in the new trailer. [[User:JacobCrystal|JacobCrystal]] ([[User talk:JacobCrystal|talk]]) 18:15, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Wooper is a mostly blue, amphibious Pokémon that resembles an {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head. The gills are larger in the male than in the female. Wooper stands upright on its small, round feet, and has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue, curved markings.

It is implied in [[SS08|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper seems to be based on a larval {{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Its {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|albino}}, {{wp|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah are derived from ''wooper looper'', a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Wooper is a mostly blue, amphibious Pokémon that resembles an {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head. The gills are larger in the male than in the female. Wooper stands upright on its small, round feet, and has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue, curved markings.

It is implied in [[SS08|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokémon mini Wooper Blue boxart.jpg|right|thumb|100px|right|A Wooper Blue [[Pokémon mini]]]]
* Wooper has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* The blue [[Pokémon mini]] was modeled after Wooper.
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.
* Wooper and Quagsire are the only non-Electric Pokémon that can learn {{m|Eerie Impulse}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper seems to be based on a larval{{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Its {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|albino}}, {{wp|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah are derived from ''wooper looper'', a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

'''Quagsire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌオー''' ''Nuoh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wooper}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Quagsire is a light blue, bipedal, amphibious Pokémon. Its head is broad and round, having little neck to distinguish it from the rest of Quagsire's body. It has a wide mouth and tiny, black eyes. A wavy, purple stripe runs down its back. Along its spine is a dark blue fin, which is larger on the male than on the female. Quagsire's hands and feet both have three digits. Its outer layer of skin is slimy and slippery.

Quagsire is carefree and sluggish by nature. An unintelligent Pokémon, it tends to bump its head inadvertently while swimming and seems not to care. It hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its prey to blunder in unaware. Because Quagsire does not move, it does not get very hungry and can afford to wait for its food. Quagsire lives in clean bodies of {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|freshwater and muddy swamps}}.

[[EP127|In the anime]], wild Quagsire are shown to have an annual celebration at [[Blue Moon Falls]] when the moon is full. There they attempt to shoot round objects they have collected to the top of a waterfall with their attacks to see who can launch their objects the highest, with the apparent target being the moon.

==In the anime==

Quagsire first appeared in ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]''. It stole the [[GS Ball]] from {{Ash}} for a festival.

Before Pikachu could nail Walrein with its {{t|Electric}} Attacks, Quagsire would protect Walrein from being shocked, due to its immunity to Electricity while Walrein's {{m|Ice Ball}} hit Grovyle and Pikachu hard, but after the Ice Ball went slower every turn, Pikachu and Grovyle defeated Walrein and Quagsire.

==In the manga==
[[File:Wake Quagsire Adventures.png|thumb|120px|Quagsire in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Quagsire is first seen as one of the Pokémon {{adv|Crystal}} captured and sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} via the Portable Transfer System. She remarked that she found it on {{rt|32|Johto}} and was "a tad stronger than I expected."

A Quagsire was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]] in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]''.

Much later, [[Crasher Wake]] is seen in possession of a Quagsire, and uses it to defeat [[Platinum's Empoleon]] before falling to a {{m|Giga Drain}} from {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{p|Torterra}}, [[Tru]] (which Platinum borrowed after she was unable to catch a single grass Pokémon in the [[Great Marsh]]). This won {{adv|Platinum}} the match.

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]: Quagsire appears as the landlord of Post Town as well as an important character in the storyline. The player's partner buys land from him at the beginning of the game that would become the headquarters for the player's exploration team. He also runs an area similar to the [[Chimecho Assembly]] from the previous games. Like some members of [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], he has a catchphrase, which is "hmm". He is also responsible for dealing with captured outlaws, much like {{p|Magnezone}} before him. He is known to be a hard taskmaster to these Pokémon.

'''Reg''' (Japanese: '''ぎー''' ''Gī'') is a {{p|Regigigas}} that {{adv|Diamond}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As of ''[[PS434|Alternate Dimension Showdown IV]]'', it is at level 75.

==History==
It is revealed in {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} that Reg was initially awakened by Palmer with the help of [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]]'s Pokémon so that it could be used to stop a legendary crisis in the case that there was one. Since it was not necessary at the time, Palmer released it back into [[Snowpoint Temple]].

Reg first appeared at the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in silhouette after {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] end up camping there after their defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]]. It lets loose a growling noise that startles Platinum, causing her to pull out a Poké Ball in case it was a wild Pokémon that she would need to catch for their safety; however, she falls unconscious from her injuries and the Poké Ball falls towards Reg.

Later, during the final battle with [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]], Reg appears from out of Platinum's bag to save Diamond from entering a black hole. After saving him, Reg chooses Diamond as its Trainer and they go to battle against {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Reg manages to grab Dialga and Palkia and pin them down so that the black hole they created while fighting will not be able to widen any further than it already has. Although it was able to stop them briefly, Dialga and Palkia are encouraged by [[Cyrus]] to fight even harder soon after. The power they expel is too great for Reg to handle and it was sent flying and defeated. Later, it was used to carry several Gym Leaders to a hospital after the battle had ended.

In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Diamond reveals that even though Reg is now his Pokémon, it refuses to come out of its Poké Ball, and he enlisted the help of [[Dr. Footstep]] to see if he could read its footprints to figure out what is wrong with it.

Soon after, a {{p|Giratina}} arrives from the [[Distortion World]] and begins wreaking havoc on [[Eterna City]]. Reg quickly lets itself from its Poké Ball to battle the Renegade Pokémon. However, Reg is soon forced to switch opponents when it is attacked by {{p|Heatran}}. The Lava Dome Pokémon proves to be a tough opponent with its strength and {{type|Fire}} moves, but Reg manages to deal heavy damage with its {{m|Crush Grip}} and nearly defeats it.

When Diamond is attacked and seemingly killed by a {{m|Shadow Force}} from Giratina after pushing Pearl out of the way of the attack, Reg suddenly turns around and appears to leave. However, Reg quickly returns and reveals that it only left to bring the appliances to allow {{p|Rotom}} to change forms and attack Charon. When Giratina tries to attack it from behind, Reg simply tosses it on Heatran and throws a large pile of snow on the two. When Pearl travels to the Distortion World, he holds Reg's Poké Ball since Diamond had mysteriously disappeared beforehand.

Later, at the [[Distortion World]], when Charon sends Heatran to attack Diamond and Pearl, Reg comes out of its Poké Ball once again to fight it a second time. As their battle continues, several other legendary Pokémon get into the fight. During the battle, Reg, along with several others, is put to sleep by {{p|Darkrai}}; however, {{p|Shaymin}} manages to save them by turning their Abilities to {{a|Insomnia}} with {{m|Worry Seed}}, saving them from an attack from Giratina. The battle with Giratina ends when it attempts to escape, leaving only the Pokémon that can fly to be able to chase it back into the real world.

Later, after Charon and Giratina are defeated, Reg, along with the other legendary Pokémon, emerges from the Distortion World with [[Paka and Uji]] in its hands.

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within the [[Snowpoint Temple]] or [[Twist Mountain]], where it sleeps. It still appears if they are absent, but does not awaken and the player regards it as a statue.

It is the [[trio master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Legendary golems]].

==Biology==
Regigigas is a large, white, golem Pokémon with seven black dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. The dot pattern is Regigigas's way of showing its anger: its eyes glow red when it is mad. It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis, with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs. It has large yellow bands on its shoulders and wrists, with a sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head also being yellow. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time. Legends say that its colossal strength enables it to move continents. It can communicate via telepathy.

Regigigas is decent at crafting as it is capable of making golems of inanimate objects and bring them to life. Regigigas is capable of controlling these [[Legendary golems]], even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It can also survive extreme conditions as it is capable of working with high temperature magma, ({{tt|1300-2400°F|700-1300°C}}) as well as extremely cold ice ({{tt|-328°F|-200°C}}). When Regigigas is disturbed from its slumber, it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful beams. When it is befriended, however, it is calm and gentle, as seen in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. Regigigas can handle any terrain.

==In the anime==
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Regigigas in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Regigigas appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, it lives in a temple in the mountains of {{si|Gracidea}}. It had been asleep for centuries, for so long that moss began to grow on its body. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed the great titan's slumber, rousing it into action. When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of wild Pokémon, Regigigas appeared in the command of a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} and together, they began pushing on the glacier to hold it back. Regigigas returned to its temple at the end of the movie, where it is seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on {{TRT}} during the credits.

Another Regigigas appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]]'' at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. [[J]] wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. It went on a rampage after, using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of [[Legendary golems]] to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his golems using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

===Minor appearances===
A Regigigas appeared as part of Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', alongside Giratina.

A Regigigas appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Reg}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], its silhouette was first seen inside the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]''. When {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] were about to freeze in a blizzard following their defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]], it was the one who carried them to safety. Whilst in her trance, Platinum unconsciously rolled over an empty [[Poké Ball]] to the creature, and it ended up in her bag before choosing to join {{adv|Diamond}} in an effort to stop {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s clash. It was later named "Reg."

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
{{main|Hareta's Regigigas}}

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Regigigas, together with four {{p|Bronzong}} and four {{p|Hitmonlee}}, are the statues that came alive to battle the player in [[Aegis Cave]]. After being recruited, it is able to join the player to explore. Its huge size makes it {{a|Slow Start|very slow}} for a little while, but it starts to move faster as the time wears on.

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its Ability}} weakening it, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. They share the {{t|Normal}} type, the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and [[Ability|Abilities]] that limit their power.
** Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} also have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* It is the only Pokémon who can learn [[TM]]s that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own Ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary golems]] not to have its type in its name.
** Regigigas is also the only one of the Legendary golems that does not use the remix of the Legendary golem battle theme in {{v2|Platinum}}. Instead, it uses the Legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*** In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, the remix of the Legendary golem battle theme is used.
* In Platinum, by hacking to obtain Cherish Balls, it is possible to trick the game into opening [[Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak]], [[Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg]], and [[Iron Ruins]]: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at a Nintendo event.
* In [[Generation IV]], Regigigas is the only Pokémon required to acquire the [[Diploma]] that cannot be obtained without the use of [[Generation III]] games or an event, even with all Generation IV titles. This limitation occurs because Regigigas cannot be obtained without the use of the other Legendary golems, which in turn cannot be obtained without either importing them from Generation III or obtaining them in Platinum with an event Regigigas.

===Origin===
Regigigas is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.

====Name origin====
Regigigas is a combination of ''regis'', Latin for ''royal'', and γίγας ''gigas'', Greek for ''giant''.

Signature move

In the Pokémon fandom, the term '''signature move''' is often used to refer to a [[move]] that can only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or its [[evolution]]ary relatives usually in the same evolutionary line. Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up. Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{p|Smeargle}} by use of {{m|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon or are known by certain [[event Pokémon]].

==One-off signature moves==
[[File:Victini event moves.png|thumb|Victini using Fusion Flare, Fusion Bolt, and V-create]]
This is a list of signature moves that at only one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire:

* A {{p|Dratini}} that knows '''{{m|Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed}}''' is obtainable in {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}} after answering a quiz in the [[Dragon's Den]].
* An Egg will be given by the Day-Care Man in {{game|Crystal}} that hatches into a random baby Pokémon that knows '''{{m|Dizzy Punch}}'''.
* A {{p|Skitty}} with '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' can be obtained from a special {{pkmn|Egg}} after depositing 500 Pokémon in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] from a Game Boy Advance game pak.
** Also, in Generation I, various other Pokémon can learn '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' through the use of [[TM16]].
* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|Feather Dance|FeatherDance}}'''.
* After {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} from Pokémon XD have been purified, they all learn '''{{m|Extrasensory}}'''.
* A {{p|Darkrai}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''' and '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M10|10th movie]].
* An {{p|Arceus}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''', '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''', and '''{{m|Shadow Force}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M12|12th movie]].
* A {{p|Victini}} with '''{{m|Fusion Flare}}''' and '''{{m|Fusion Bolt}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M14|14th movie]].
* A Victini with '''{{m|Glaciate}}''', '''{{m|Bolt Strike}}''', and '''{{m|Blue Flare}}''' was available as a special giveaway to celebrate Christmas 2012.

==Other signature move examples==
[[File:Dialga Roar of Time.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Dialga}} using its signature move, {{m|Roar of Time}}, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'']]
===TM/HM or Move Tutor that are exclusive by level-up===
* {{p|Squirtle}}'s evolutionary family and {{p|Sharpedo}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]] in [[Generation I]].
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Move Tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} and {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in [[Generation I]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] and [[Move Tutor]] respectively.
** '''{{m|Jump Kick}}''' was also its signature move for the first three generations; however, {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}} can learn it in Generation IV and on.
* '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' was the signature move of {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} in [[Generation I]], before it became an [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* {{p|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}'''; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Punch}}''' by leveling up, although many other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM01]].
* {{p|Porygon-Z}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Trick Room}}''' by leveling up, although that move can be learned via [[TM92]].
* Almost every Pokémon is able to learn '''{{m|Facade}}''' via [[TM42]]. However, {{p|Chimchar}} is the only one to learn it by leveling up prior to Generation V.
* Although only {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Simipour|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Scald}}''' by leveling up, other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM55]].
** Also, {{p|Pansage}} is currently the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Grass Knot}}''' by leveling up, yet other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM86]].
* {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Ally Switch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM51]] in [[Generation V]].
* {{p|Volbeat}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Flash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[HM05]] in the first three generations or [[TM70]] in other generations.
* {{p|Sawk}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Rock Smash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM94]] in [[Generation V]].
* {{p|Emolga}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Volt Switch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM72]] in [[Generation V]].

===Moves commonly associated with certain Pokémon===
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move starting in [[Generation III]], it was still the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that could learn the move prior to [[Generation V]], where Megahorn is now learnable by {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Escavalier}}.
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but ten Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total plus two with {{p|Riolu}} from Almia and {{p|Raikou}} from Event, in addition to the {{p|Squirtle}} family through breeding. 10 Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. In Generation V and VI, Lucario and the Mienshao family are the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere by leveling up.
** Lucario no longer learns Force Palm in Generation VI (although {{p|Riolu}} can still learn it).
* {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} are often associated with '''{{m|Solar Beam}}''', '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively, due to them frequently being depicted using those moves in various Pokémon media (such as the anime).
** In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Charizard}}'s trophy states that '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''' is its signature move.
* Electrode are most commonly seen using {{m|Explosion}}, with it being shown to use it most in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* Although {{p|Clefairy}} can learn '''{{m|Meteor Mash}}''' by leveling up in any Generation III game, the only Pokémon that could have it legitimately before release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} were {{p|Metang}} and its evolved form, {{p|Metagross}}.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}'''. As of Generation V, they are still the only Poison types to learn the move naturally, and all other Poison types must be bred the move to have it.
* The move '''{{m|Razor Shell}}''' is tied to {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary line, although it can also be learned by {{p|Shellder}}.
* Although '''{{m|Blaze Kick}}''' was no longer {{p|Blaziken}}'s signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.
* The {{p|Venipede}} family are the only Pokémon besides {{p|Golem}} which can learn '''{{m|Steamroller}}'''. They are also the only Bug-type Pokémon to learn it.
* {{p|Castform}} was the only Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Weather Ball}}''' prior to [[Generation IV]]. However, due to [[Shadow moves]] only being present in [[Generation III]], it remains the only Pokémon capable of taking advantage of Weather Ball's '''{{type|???}}''' effect during {{m|Shadow Sky}}.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
*'''{{m|Sacred Sword}}''' is not technically considered a signature move in the traditional sense because it is not involved in a sole evolutionary line, but it is uniquely learned by the [[Swords of Justice]].
**Similarly, '''{{m|Fusion Flare}}''' and '''{{m|Fusion Bolt}}''' are not involved in a sole evolutionary line; they are learnable by {{p|Reshiram}} and [[Form differences#Kyurem|White]] {{p|Kyurem}}/{{p|Zekrom}} and [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black]] {{p|Kyurem}} respectively, with Kyurem's formes being the result of absorbing Reshiram/Zekrom (and thus gaining some of their traits and powers).
**However, as of Generation VI, {{p|Doublade}} can learn Sacred Sword as well, making no longer exclusive to the [[Swords of Justice]].
* No Pokémon can learn '''{{m|V-create}}''' outside of event distributions. {{p|Victini}} was the first to gain access to it and is often associated with the move. However, later, a {{p|Rayquaza}} with V-create was available as the winner of a [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#15th Anniversary Rayquaza|popularity poll held in Japan in 2011]], making it no longer Victini's signature move.

==Trivia==
* So far, {{p|Hitmonlee}} has had the most signature moves, with four, albeit not at the same time. However, three of them were only temporarily Hitmonlee's signature moves, and now can be learned by other Pokémon. The other was also previously available to other Pokémon through [[TM]]s and [[Move Tutor]]s.
** However, as of Generation VI, the Pokémon with the most current signature moves is {{p|Vespiquen}}, with three; {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}, all of which are its type, {{t|Bug}}.
* All [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon]] could learn a signature move after evolution, although these moves can (from [[Generation IV]] onwards) be learned by other evolutionary families as well.
**All [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] can similarly learn signature moves after evolution, with {{p|Greninja}} even getting two.
* Due to {{p|Smeargle}}'s {{m|Sketch}} being able to copy signature moves, the only pure signature moves are Sketch itself and {{m|Chatter}}, which can only be learned by {{p|Chatot}}.
** {{m|Shadow Chill}}, {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, {{m|Shadow Fire}}, and {{m|Shadow Blast}} would also fall under this category since shadow moves cannot be Sketched.

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --''Alpha'' [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 23:08, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

:::Regardless of whether you're previewing or not, it's time to stop. Please read the {{bp|userspace policy}}. This explains that the userspace was locked once upon a time because everyone kept editing their userpages and neglected the actual articles. Please take a short break on your page for now and go help clean up Bulbapedia. You can finish it off another day. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:23, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button.

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth Pokémon {{an|Misty}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] region.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Original series====
[[File:Togepi Egg.png|220px|thumb|left|Togepi's Egg]]
=====Kanto=====
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon Egg]] by {{Ash}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{MTR}} fought over the Egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, even though Ash won the tournament, thinking that she was its mother.

=====Orange Islands=====
[[File:Misty Togepi crying.png|220px|thumb|right|As a Togepi crying]]
Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used {{m|Metronome}} to get out of dangerous situations. The first time it happened was in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used {{m|Metronome}} to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack from a {{p|Nidoking}} by using {{m|Barrier}}.

=====Johto=====
Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Misty for ownership of a {{AP|Totodile}}. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, Togepi ended up defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'', it used Metronome a third time to teleport [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Egg]] away from {{TRT}}.

In the Christmas specials, Togepi was seen running away from {{AP|Pikachu}} and brought the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} back to its family. It was also seen making the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman.

====Advanced Generation series====
As Ash, Brock, May, and Max met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', it was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he could rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen had an impure heart, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the [[Togepi Paradise]].

Togepi later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' in order to protect the other Togepi. When Togetic was injured by Colonel Hansen, Misty promptly sent out her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and defeated Hansen's {{p|Shedinja}} with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. After seeing the damage Hansen had done trying to reach the Mirage Kingdom, Misty respected her Togetic's decision to stay behind and {{pkmn2|released}} it, so it could protect the Kingdom, the Togepi Paradise, and the Togepi who lived there.

====Best Wishes series====
Togetic appeared in a flashback as a Togepi in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Togetic}}
As a Togepi, it was sometimes mischievous. Despite being a baby, it would often wander away from the group and get itself and Pikachu into dangerous situations, usually resulting in Pikachu getting hurt but Togepi walking away unharmed. It was also very friendly towards other Pokémon, particularly ones that were small, young, and {{pkmn2|wild}}. The most notable were a {{p|Voltorb}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]'', a {{p|Sentret}} in ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', and, much to Misty's dislike, a {{p|Caterpie}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

* Before Misty hatched her {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, Togetic was the only Pokémon she owned that was not of the {{type|Water}}.
** Togetic is also the only Pokémon she owned that could not evolve into a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Togetic is the first anime Pokémon hatched from an Egg.
** It is also the first one that could evolve twice (later followed by [[Brock's Chansey|Brock's Happiny]], [[Misty's Azurill]] and [[Dawn's Quilava|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]), though it was not able to do so when it was last seen, as Togekiss was not introduced until Generation IV.
* As a Togepi, it was the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the anime. As a Togetic, it is the most recent to make an anime debut.

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth Pokémon {{an|Misty}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] region.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Original series====
[[File:Togepi Egg.png|220px|thumb|left|Togepi's Egg]]
=====Kanto=====
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon Egg]] by {{Ash}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{MTR}} fought over the Egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, even though Ash won the tournament, thinking that she was its mother.

=====Orange Islands=====
[[File:Misty Togepi crying.png|220px|thumb|right|As a Togepi crying]]
Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used {{m|Metronome}} to get out of dangerous situations. The first time it happened was in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used {{m|Metronome}} to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack from a {{p|Nidoking}} by using {{m|Barrier}}.

=====Johto=====
Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Misty for ownership of a {{AP|Totodile}}. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, Togepi ended up defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'', it used Metronome a third time to teleport [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Egg]] away from {{TRT}}.

In the Christmas specials, Togepi was seen running away from {{AP|Pikachu}} and brought the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} back to its family. It was also seen making the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman.

[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used {{m|Metronome}} to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack from a {{p|Nidoking}} by using {{m|Barrier}}.

=====Johto=====
Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Misty for ownership of a {{AP|Totodile}}. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, Togepi ended up defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'', it used Metronome a third time to teleport [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Egg]] away from {{TRT}}.

In the Christmas specials, Togepi was seen running away from {{AP|Pikachu}} and brought the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} back to its family. It was also seen making the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman.

[[File:Misty and Togetic.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Togetic saying their farewells]]

====Advanced Generation series====
As Ash, Brock, May, and Max met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', it was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he could rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen had an impure heart, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the [[Togepi Paradise]].

Togepi later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' in order to protect the other Togepi. When Togetic was injured by Colonel Hansen, Misty promptly sent out her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and defeated Hansen's {{p|Shedinja}} with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. After seeing the damage Hansen had done trying to reach the Mirage Kingdom, Misty respected her Togetic's decision to stay behind and {{pkmn2|released}} it, so it could protect the Kingdom, the Togepi Paradise, and the Togepi who lived there.

====Best Wishes series====
Togetic appeared in a flashback as a Togepi in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Togetic}}
As a Togepi, it was sometimes mischievous. Despite being a baby, it would often wander away from the group and get itself and Pikachu into dangerous situations, usually resulting in Pikachu getting hurt but Togepi walking away unharmed. It was also very friendly towards other Pokémon, particularly ones that were small, young, and {{pkmn2|wild}}. The most notable were a {{p|Voltorb}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]'', a {{p|Sentret}} in ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', and, much to Misty's dislike, a {{p|Caterpie}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

** Togetic is also the only Pokémon she owned that could not evolve into a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Togetic is the first anime Pokémon hatched from an Egg.
** It is also the first one that could evolve twice (later followed by [[Brock's Chansey|Brock's Happiny]], [[Misty's Azurill]] and [[Dawn's Quilava|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]), though it was not able to do so when it was last seen, as Togekiss was not introduced until Generation IV.
* As a Togepi, it was the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the anime. As a Togetic, it is the most recent to make an anime debut.

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth Pokémon {{an|Misty}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] region.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Original series====
[[File:Togepi Egg.png|220px|thumb|left|Togepi's Egg]]
=====Kanto=====
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon Egg]] by {{Ash}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{MTR}} fought over the Egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, even though Ash won the tournament, thinking that she was its mother.

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth Pokémon {{an|Misty}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] region.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Original series====
[[File:Togepi Egg.png|220px|thumb|left|Togepi's Egg]]
=====Kanto=====
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon Egg]] by {{Ash}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{MTR}} fought over the Egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, even though Ash won the tournament, thinking that she was its mother.

=====Orange Islands=====
[[File:Misty Togepi crying.png|220px|thumb|right|As a Togepi crying]]
Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used {{m|Metronome}} to get out of dangerous situations. The first time it happened was in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used {{m|Metronome}} to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack from a {{p|Nidoking}} by using {{m|Barrier}}.

=====Johto=====
Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Misty for ownership of a {{AP|Totodile}}. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, Togepi ended up defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'', it used Metronome a third time to teleport [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Egg]] away from {{TRT}}.

In the Christmas specials, Togepi was seen running away from {{AP|Pikachu}} and brought the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} back to its family. It was also seen making the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman.

[[File:Misty and Togetic.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Togetic saying their farewells]]

====Advanced Generation series====
As Ash, Brock, May, and Max met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', it was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he could rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen had an impure heart, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the [[Togepi Paradise]].

Togepi later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' in order to protect the other Togepi. When Togetic was injured by Colonel Hansen, Misty promptly sent out her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and defeated Hansen's {{p|Shedinja}} with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. After seeing the damage Hansen had done trying to reach the Mirage Kingdom, Misty respected her Togetic's decision to stay behind and {{pkmn2|released}} it, so it could protect the Kingdom, the Togepi Paradise, and the Togepi who lived there.

====Best Wishes series====
Togetic appeared in a flashback as a Togepi in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Togetic}}
As a Togepi, it was sometimes mischievous. Despite being a baby, it would often wander away from the group and get itself and Pikachu into dangerous situations, usually resulting in Pikachu getting hurt but Togepi walking away unharmed. It was also very friendly towards other Pokémon, particularly ones that were small, young, and {{pkmn2|wild}}. The most notable were a {{p|Voltorb}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]'', a {{p|Sentret}} in ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', and, much to Misty's dislike, a {{p|Caterpie}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Ash and Pikachu]], which is based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{an|Misty}} appears as a traveling companion with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. She [[walking Pokémon|carries Togepi with her]] like she does in the anime.
{{sectionstub}}
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Misty is shown with a Togepi in ''[[PM055|The Pokémon Banana League (Part 2)]]''. She temporarily gives {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} her Togepi in that chapter when he was battling his rival, {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}}, as Red couldn't handle him on his own. Togepi was returned to the rightful owner after the battle was finished.

==Trivia==
* Before Misty hatched her {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, Togetic was the only Pokémon she owned that was not of the {{type|Water}}.
** Togetic is also the only Pokémon she owned that could not evolve into a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Togetic is the first anime Pokémon hatched from an Egg.
** It is also the first one that could evolve twice (later followed by [[Brock's Chansey|Brock's Happiny]], [[Misty's Azurill]] and [[Dawn's Quilava|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]), though it was not able to do so when it was last seen, as Togekiss was not introduced until Generation IV.
* As a Togepi, it was the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the anime. As a Togetic, it is the most recent to make an anime debut.

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, it was the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, being revealed on January 8, 2013 as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.

Yveltal is the [[version mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}.

==Biology==
Yveltal is a large avian-like Pokémon. Its body is dark in coloration and is adorned with grayish patterns along the underside. Yveltal's wings and tails have three points extending along the edges, close to where they meet the body. There are five large claws on each appendage, three of which curve inwards. Yveltal's underside is bright red, with branching, black markings. Similar markings are present on Yveltal's head and neck.

Yveltal has a pointed, beak-like snout. Black horns extend from above its blue eyes, with a sharply curved portion pointing forward and thinner prongs facing the rear. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal has small, birdlike legs with powerful talons. Like the rest of the underside, the legs are red with black adornments, and the talons are gray. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backwards. When Yveltal's wings and tail are fully extended, Yveltal resembles the English letter Y. Its life span is said to be 1,000 years. When it reaches the end of its life, it steals all of the life energy of those around it.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
A Yveltal is set to appear in [[M17]], alongside {{p|Xerneas}}.

==Trivia==
* Yveltal has the highest HP base stat of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
** Yveltal is tied with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} for highest base stat total of all Flying types.
* Yveltal has the same stat distribution as {{p|Xerneas}}.
* Yveltal, along with Xerneas, was designed by art designers [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. Initial design for the two legendary Pokémon was started by Sugimori, but he encountered '[[wp:Writer's block|artist's block]]', having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>
* Yveltal is the only non-Ghost user (excluding {{p|Smeargle}}) of {{m|Phantom Force}}.

===Origin===
Yveltal's appearance is based on an avian in the shape of the letter Y. It may be based on the giant {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, or "Corpse Swallower," which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, creating wind as it flaps its wings. It may also be based on the Hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}}. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the unnamed eagle resided at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, with Veðrfölnir sitting between its eyes. Yveltal may be a personification of the {{wp|Yersinia pestis|Black Death}}, possibly drawing further inspiration from the avian-like {{wp|Plague Doctor Costume|costumes}} worn by {{wp|Plague Doctors}} who tended to the sick. Much like Yveltal had taken the lives of countless humans and Pokémon alike 800 years ago, Human ''Y. pestis'' was responsible for the death of at least one-third of the European population between 1347 and 1353. Yveltal also likely draws inspiration from {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion Crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s. It may have some basis on the {{wp|wyvern}} of European legend and folklore.

====Name origin====
Yveltal comes from the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may also be derived from ''[[wiktionary:yvel|yvel]]'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''{{wp|evil}}'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.

[[File:Reshiram Zekrom Blue Flare Bolt Strike artwork.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom and Reshiram using Bolt Strike and Blue Flare, their signature moves]]
In the Pokémon fandom, the term '''signature move''' is often used to refer to a [[move]] that can only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or its [[evolution]]ary relatives usually in the same evolutionary line. Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up. Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{p|Smeargle}} by use of {{m|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon or are known by certain [[event Pokémon]].

==Other signature move examples==
[[File:Dialga Roar of Time.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Dialga}} using its signature move, {{m|Roar of Time}}, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'']]
===TM/HM or Move Tutor that are exclusive by level-up===
* {{p|Squirtle}}'s evolutionary family and {{p|Sharpedo}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]] in [[Generation I]].
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Move Tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} and {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in [[Generation I]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] and [[Move Tutor]] respectively.
** '''{{m|Jump Kick}}''' was also its signature move for the first three generations; however, {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}} can learn it in Generation IV and on.
* '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' was the signature move of {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} in [[Generation I]], before it became an [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* {{p|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}'''; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Punch}}''' by leveling up, although many other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM01]].
* {{p|Porygon-Z}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Trick Room}}''' by leveling up, although that move can be learned via [[TM92]].
* Almost every Pokémon is able to learn '''{{m|Facade}}''' via [[TM42]]. However, {{p|Chimchar}} is the only one to learn it by leveling up prior to Generation V.
* Although only {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Simipour|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Scald}}''' by leveling up, other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM55]].
** Also, {{p|Pansage}} is currently the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Grass Knot}}''' by leveling up, yet other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM86]].
* {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Ally Switch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM51]] in [[Generation V]].
* {{p|Volbeat}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Flash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[HM05]] in the first three generations or [[TM70]] in other generations.
* {{p|Sawk}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Rock Smash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM94]] in [[Generation V]].
* {{p|Emolga}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Volt Switch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM72]] in [[Generation V]].

===Moves commonly associated with certain Pokémon===
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move starting in [[Generation III]], it was still the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that could learn the move prior to [[Generation V]], where Megahorn is now learnable by {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Escavalier}}.
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but nine Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total plus two with {{p|Riolu}} from Almia and {{p|Raikou}} from Event. 10 Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. In Generation V, Lucario and Mienshao are the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere by leveling up.
* {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} are often associated with '''{{m|SolarBeam}}''', '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively, due to them frequently being depicted using those moves in various Pokémon media (such as the anime).
** In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Charizard}}'s trophy states that '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''' is its signature move.
* Electrode are most commonly seen using {{m|Explosion}}, with it being shown to use it most in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* Although {{p|Clefairy}} can learn '''{{m|Meteor Mash}}''' by leveling up in any Generation III game, the only Pokémon that could have it legitimately before release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} were {{p|Metang}} and its evolved form, {{p|Metagross}}.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}'''. As of Generation V, they are still the only Poison types to learn the move naturally, and all other Poison types must be bred the move to have it.
* The move '''{{m|Razor Shell}}''' is tied to {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary line, although it can also be learned by {{p|Shellder}}.
* Although '''{{m|Blaze Kick}}''' was no longer {{p|Blaziken}}'s signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.
* The {{p|Venipede}} family are the only Pokémon besides {{p|Golem}} which can learn '''{{m|Steamroller}}'''. They are also the only Bug-type Pokémon to learn it.
* {{p|Castform}} was the only Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Weather Ball}}''' prior to [[Generation IV]]. However, due to [[Shadow moves]] only being present in [[Generation III]], it remains the only Pokémon capable of taking advantage of Weather Ball's '''{{type|???}}''' effect during {{m|Shadow Sky}}.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
*'''{{m|Sacred Sword}}''' is not technically considered a signature move in the traditional sense because it is not involved in a sole evolutionary line, but it is uniquely learned by the [[Swords of Justice]].
**Similarly, '''{{m|Fusion Bolt}}''' and '''{{m|Fusion Flare}}''' are not involved in a sole evolutionary line; they are learnable by {{p|Zekrom}} and [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black]] {{p|Kyurem}}/{{p|Reshiram}} and [[Form differences#Kyurem|White]] {{p|Kyurem}} respectively, with Kyurem's formes being the result of absorbing Zekrom/Reshiram (and thus gaining some of their traits and powers).
**However, as of Generation VI, {{p|Doublade}} can learn Sacred Sword as well, making no longer exclusive to the [[Swords of Justice]].
* No Pokémon can learn '''{{m|V-create}}''' outside of event distributions. {{p|Victini}} was the first to gain access to it and is often associated with the move. However, later, a {{p|Rayquaza}} with V-create was available as the winner of a [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#15th Anniversary Rayquaza|popularity poll held in Japan in 2011]], making it no longer Victini's signature move.

==Trivia==
* So far, {{p|Hitmonlee}} has had the most signature moves, with four, albeit not at the same time. However, three of them were only temporarily Hitmonlee's signature moves, and now can be learned by other Pokémon. The other was also previously available to other Pokémon through [[TM]]s and [[Move Tutor]]s.
** However, as of Generation VI, the Pokémon with the most current signature moves is {{p|Vespiquen}}, with three; {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}, all of which are its type, {{t|Bug}}.
* All [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon]] could learn a signature move after evolution, although these moves can (from [[Generation IV]] onwards) be learned by other evolutionary families as well.
**All [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] can similarly learn signature moves after evolution, with {{p|Greninja}} even getting two.
* Due to {{p|Smeargle}}'s {{m|Sketch}} being able to copy signature moves, the only pure signature moves are Sketch itself and {{m|Chatter}}, which can only be learned by {{p|Chatot}}.
** {{m|Shadow Chill}}, {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, {{m|Shadow Fire}}, and {{m|Shadow Blast}} would also fall under this category since shadow moves cannot be Sketched.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]].

==In the anime==
{{cleanup|section}}
===History===
[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|200px|{{Ash}} and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]
====Original series====
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to {{DL|Professor Oak's Laboratory|In the anime|Professor Oak's Laboratory}} to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing him to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu decided to stay by Ash's side.

Since Ash's first encounter with {{TRT}} in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present him to {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they have tried and continue to try hundreds of times, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, {{ashfr}}, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

====Advanced Generation series====
[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning {{m|Iron Tail}} in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves. Also in the same episode, Pikachu learned {{m|Electro Ball}} while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. He also learned how to punch from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used him during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].

====Diamond & Pearl series====
[[File:Ash DP 2.png|thumb|120px|left|Ash and Pikachu, as seen in {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} artwork]]
In Sinnoh, he defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again in the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where he battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Gyarados}} and defeated it with a Volt Tackle to the face. He also battled Crasher Wake's Floatzel for a moment, allowing {{AP|Buizel}} time to recover. In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png‎|250px|left|thumb|Pikachu activating his {{a|Static}} Ability]]
Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina, was when he was used against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. First he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when he attacked with Quick Attack, he was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, and Pikachu found himself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only {{AP|Chimchar}}.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Flint's Infernape]], but he was defeated after a long fight.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} and won, giving him his first victory over a Pokémon in the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary line. However, he was defeated by Volkner's {{p|Luxray}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu contest.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu performing in a Pokémon Contest]]
In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he put up a good fight and weakened Aggron before he was recalled in place of Infernape. Pikachu was also used in the continuation of Ash's battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. He went against Paul's {{p|Froslass}} where he was seen having some trouble at first, but by the end, he was able to pull through and defeat Froslass with a powerful Volt Tackle attack. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', he battled [[Paul's Electivire]], but had trouble due to Electivire's {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability, and was soon defeated by a {{m|Brick Break}}. In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. Almost none of the attacks hit or did any damage to Latios in the beginning, however, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt several times before he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge. However, he was tied with Latios as both fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon also fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle.

====Best Wishes series====
Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just like he did in [[Hoenn]]. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused Pikachu to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed during his battle against [[Trip]] and [[Trip's Serperior|his Snivy]], causing Ash to forfeit. In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his Gym battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{p|Panpour}}. Even though he tried his best, Pikachu was just not as fast as Panpour and was defeated without landing a single hit despite the type-advantage. In ''[[BW010|A Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he battled Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. He took a beating from multiple {{m|Aerial Ace}}s, but showed Trip the power of his electrical attacks by defeating Tranquill with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who by then had evolved into {{p|Servine}}. However, despite not being incapacitated, he was once again defeated. In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. Even though he had some trouble at first, Pikachu was able to pull through in the end and defeat Pignite with a powerful Volt Tackle.

[[File:Ash and his Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and Pikachu]]
In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of {{p|Ducklett}} stole Ash's {{AP|hat}} and {{p|Sandile}}'s sunglasses. Pikachu assisted Sandile in defeating them. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Even though Sandile evolved into {{AP|Krokorok}}, Pikachu used Electro Ball and sent {{m|Stone Edge}} right back at {{p|Krokorok}} to defeat him.

Ash used Pikachu in his third Gym battle against Burgh at the [[Castelia Gym]] in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. Pikachu went up against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}} and after a tough battle, Pikachu was able to win it with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Electro Ball}} combo.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua and the Pokémon Knight!]]'' Pikachu played a movie role as Ash's assistant. He battled [[Iris's Axew]] in order to gain the power to defeat {{an|Cilan|the villain}} and his [[Cilan's Pansage|assistant]]. He succeeded with a Thunderbolt-Electro Ball combo. He later defeated the villain and rescued the princess.

Ash used Pikachu in the final round in the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' against {{an|Iris}}. Pikachu went up against [[Iris's Excadrill]]. Pikachu did surprisingly well, but unfortunately, Pikachu fainted first, and Iris won the tournament.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash chose to use Pikachu in his Gym Battle against [[Elesa]]. He went up against her powerful {{p|Emolga}}, who Pikachu defeated with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}. Later, Pikachu battled Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}, defeating him with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} attack, winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. Stunfisk used his amazing jumping ability to get them both into the air so that they could launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}}—{{m|ThunderShock}} combination at the two legendary Pokémon. Later, in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Pikachu helped rescue the [[Forces of Nature]] from {{TRT}}.

In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}}, and Pikachu defeated him with an Electro Ball. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{p|Swanna}}, but was defeated with a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and a brutal {{m|Brave Bird}}.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]] and her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. It was a very hard fought battle, but to Ash's luck, all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu made with Garbodor, had caused Pikachu's Static Ability to activate and paralyze Garbodor. Despite still being able to withstand a Thunderbolt, the Trash Heap Pokémon was unable to take a hit from the following Electro Ball, and was knocked out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the [[Unova League]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash battled {{an|Giovanni}} with Pikachu trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}, but was defeated by his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Giovanni successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[Form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a {{m|Thunder}} attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip's {{p|Serperior}}, and Pikachu defeated him after a very hard fought battle with an Electro Ball-Iron Tail combo.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against Cameron's {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked many attacks with his {{m|Razor Shell}}, but Pikachu eventually defeated him with an Iron Tail. Cameron then sent out his next Pokémon, Swanna, attempting to keep distance to Pikachu, but Pikachu ended it with an Electro Ball. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly-evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated Snivy, leaving Pikachu as Ash's last Pokémon. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere, and Aura Sphere overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in Top 8.

Pikachu was reunited with the entire Unova team at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Thunderbolt to send them blasting off for the last time in the Best Wishes series. Pikachu rejoined Ash when he set off for the Kalos region.

====XY series====
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Ash and Pikachu arrived in [[Kalos]] by plane along with Alexa. After being thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] for not having enough Gym Badges, Ash was saved by {{an|Clemont}} while Pikachu was saved by {{an|Bonnie}}. Bonnie was excited to be holding Pikachu, leading to him shocking her because she was holding him too tightly. After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to.

In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, they proved to be a match for Pikachu. The battle was interuppted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu for their plans. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her Wobbuffet reflect Pikachu's attacks with Mirror Coat. Pikachu is saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded Pikachu with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu was used to blast of the villains. Froakie soon collapsed from its injuries, so Ash, Pikachu, and their new friends went to [[Professor Sycamore]] to heal Froakie back to health.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu manage to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that it could be healed. When a Garchomp went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued it to get the device off and free it. After chasing it to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off with Ash immediately leaping in to save his best friend. They were both saved by a [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Blaziken}}, who intercepted them in the air and put the two safely back onto the ground.

In [[XY005]], Pikachu was used in Ash's battle against [[Viola]], but lost after fighting her {{p|Surskit}}, who won after distracting Pikachu by using {{m|Ice Beam}} to create an ice field around the battlefield that caused him to slip repeatedly. Later, he trained with [[Alexa]] alongside with {{AP|Fletchling}} to prepare for a rematch against Viola.

In [[XY006]], Pikachu was used in the rematch against Viola. After a while, he managed to counter Surskit's ice field tactic by sticking into the ground with Iron Tail, and finally evening the score and defeating it. However, Pikachu's work was not done; he was substituted for Fletchling after it lost to Vivillion again. After a hard battle, Pikachu finally beat Vivillion, winning Ash the Bug Badge.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu in a bad mood]]
Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}

During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using {{m|Thunderbolt}} at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another, and most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining relationship.

In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, he refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} (knocking it out of his Trainer's hand), and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using his superior speed. The same situation happened in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' where Pikachu reaffirmed his decision not to evolve. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. He has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Servine]], despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Servine.

=====Moves improvised=====
[[File:{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Ash Pikachu Leer EP009|2=Ash Pikachu Rocket Punch|3=Thunder Armor}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=using "Leer"|2=using Rocket Punch|3=and Swellow using Thunder Armor}}]]
*'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When [[Giselle]] called for {{p|Cubone}} to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to "Leer right back" by making funny faces. He later used Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''; however, this was the actual move, albeit, an [[Anime move errors|anime move error]] still.
*An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as "Shocking Tail" by the MC, was used to defeat {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.
*'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.
*'''[[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Thunder Armor]]''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding [[Ash's Swellow]]. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.
*'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom to avoid attacks in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the {{Badge|Coal}}.
*'''Thunder-Volt Tackle''' is a move combination between Ash's Pikachu and Paul's Electabuzz. Pikachu starts by using Volt Tackle towards Paul's Electabuzz, who grabs him and uses Thunder on him to supercharge the Volt Tackle. This was used in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' to sever the cables with which Team Galactic's helicopters were carrying Veilstone City's meteorites.
*'''Swift-Quick Attack''' was a combination of {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}'s twirling {{m|Swift}} and Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} that was used in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Aipom would use a twirling Swift that spins in the air and then Pikachu would jump in the Swift with Quick Attack and as he runs, the Swift stars would be surrounding the white light from the Quick Attack.
[[File:Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball|4=Electro Iron Tail}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball|4=Electro Iron Tail}}]]
*'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}}.
*'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.
* '''Thunder Whirlpool''' was used in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' where it was used by Pikachu and {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in order to win a tag battle against [[Kato]] and [[Kiko]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Beautifly}}. First Piplup used {{m|Whirlpool}} which trapped Heracross and Beautifly inside at which point Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} to electrify it, knocking out both opponents at the same time.
*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot that sent Team Rocket blasting off.
*'''Thunderbolt-Electro Ball''' is a combination used to power up {{m|Electro Ball}}, first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Ash has Pikachu use Electro Ball, then tells him to use Thunderbolt on it to significantly increase the size and power of Electro Ball.
*'''Massive Electro Ball''' was a stronger variation of Electro Ball that Pikachu used in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. While blocking {{p|Thundurus}}'s {{m|Thunder}} attack to protect {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu absorbed some of its opponent's electricity. Later, when Ash told Pikachu use Electro Ball, it transferred Thundurus' excess energy into its attack, causing the Electro Ball to crackle with blue lightning and swell to incredibly massive proportions. This supercharged Electro Ball dealt great damage to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] after it was launched.
*'''Electro Iron Tail''' was a move combination Pikachu used to defeat [[Trip's Serperior]] in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''. First Pikachu forms an Electro Ball on his tail, and then uses Iron Tail, slamming both the Electro Ball and Iron Tail into the opponent at the same time, dealing a notable amount of damage.

{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
{{bulbanews|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi}}
{{bulbanews|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

A Japanese event distributed an in-game representation of Ash's Pikachu via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and at participating Japanese {{wp|McDonald}}'s locations which was held from July 15 through August 10, 2010. This Pikachu was distributed at participating American {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} locations from January 30 to February 13, 2011, and Canadian Toys 'R' Us locations from February 9 to February 20, 2011. This Pikachu's moveset was based on that of Ash's Pikachu during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

===Pokémon Center Best Wishes Pokémon===
{{bulbanews|Japanese Pokémon Center to distribute four Pokémon from Best Wishes series}}
{{bulbanews|More information on Japanese Best Wishes event Pokémon}}

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the [[Ash and Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series, which is based on the [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]] seasons of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Like in the anime, Pikachu and Ash share a strong friendship.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Pikachu EToP.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash's Pikachu in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is loosely based on the Pokémon anime. Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from {{an|Professor Oak}} - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}} and a {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu (Japanese '''ジャン＝リュックピカチュウ''' ''Jean-Luc Pikachu'').

Later on, when Ash is in a Gym battle with {{an|Misty}}, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and does not battle, while in his Gym battle with [[Sabrina]], he is easily bested by her Abra.

Pikachu likes Misty and greets her enthusiastically whenever she appears, often ignoring Ash in the process.

Ash's Pikachu, along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, makes a cameo appearance in the bonus chapters at the end of every volume of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] {{pkmn|manga}} series. In the bonus chapters, Ash and friends have mistakenly wandered into the Magical Pokémon Journey world and are trying to return back to the world of the {{pkmn|anime}}, encountering many unusual situations along the way, including encounters of aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which are different in anime canon.

Ash's Pikachu shows a video to {{MPJ|Pikachu}} of him bouncing a [[Poké Ball]] on his head in [[One Hundred Fifty-One]].

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===
Ash's Pikachu appears as a main character in the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}} manga, which is based on the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime.

* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.
** Despite multiple main characters currently owning {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon, Pikachu was the only one of them which is a member of [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|an evolution family]] until {{an|Clemont}} was shown to have Magnemite, Magneton, and Heliolisk. However, Clemont's Pokémon stay at the Gym and do not travel with him.
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a sacrificial win, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]]. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu.
** Pikachu's gender was also assumed male in the English translation of the [[Ash and Pikachu]] manga, in which Ash and other characters refer to Pikachu with male pronouns.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of {{Ash}}'s to be used in every Gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}}, or {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others. This capability of Pikachu's was also featured during part of the credits of ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance]]''.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.
* Pikachu has used moves introduced in every generation except for [[Generation IV]].
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Thunder}}, and {{m|Volt Tackle}}

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* Pikachu-Pika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) or '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese).

'''Illusion''' (Japanese: '''イリュージョン''' ''Illusion'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. Only two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have this Ability, both from the same [[evolution]]ary line.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Illusion will change the appearance of the Pokémon to a different species. This is dependent on the last Pokémon in the player's party, meaning that Illusion will not activate if the last Pokémon in the player's party is unable to battle or is of the same species. Illusion will replicate the type of [[Poké Ball]], species name, [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] (if any), and [[gender]] of the Pokémon it is masquerading as; however, it does not replicate the level of the masqueraded Pokémon. The effect is only aesthetic: it does not affect the Pokémon's stats, typing, moves, etc.

Illusion is broken—causing the user to appear as their true species—when the user is damaged directly by an attack or when changed to {{a|Mummy}} via Mummy or another ability change. As such, it is not broken by secondary effects such as the {{stat|HP}} loss caused by {{m|Substitute}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}, [[weather conditions]], [[status ailment]]s, [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]]s, [[recoil]], etc.

A Pokémon with Illusion can masquerade as another Pokémon with Illusion, provided that they are different species.

===Outside of battle===
Illusion has no effect outside of battle.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], the Ability functions similar to the main series games for foe Pokémon. A Pokémon with this Ability can transform into another Pokémon that can be found on the same floor of a [[mystery dungeon]]. For partner Pokémon, this Ability becomes nonexistent.

'''Illusion''' (Japanese: '''イリュージョン''' ''Illusion'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. Only two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have this Ability, both from the same [[evolution]]ary line.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Illusion will change the appearance of the Pokémon to a different species. This is dependent on the last Pokémon in the player's party, meaning that Illusion will not activate if the last Pokémon in the player's party is unable to battle or is of the same species. Illusion will replicate the type of [[Poké Ball]], species name, [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] (if any), and [[gender]] of the Pokémon it is masquerading as; however, it does not replicate the level of the masqueraded Pokémon. The effect is only aesthetic: it does not affect the Pokémon's stats, typing, moves, etc.

Illusion is broken—causing the user to appear as their true species—when the user is damaged directly by an attack or when changed to {{a|Mummy}} via Mummy or another ability change. As such, it is not broken by secondary effects such as the {{stat|HP}} loss caused by {{m|Substitute}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}, [[weather conditions]], [[status ailment]]s, [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]]s, [[recoil]], etc.

A Pokémon with Illusion can masquerade as another Pokémon with Illusion, provided that they are different species.

===Outside of battle===
Illusion has no effect outside of battle.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], the Ability functions similar to the main series games for foe Pokémon. A Pokémon with this Ability can transform into another Pokémon that can be found on the same floor of a [[mystery dungeon]]. For partner Pokémon, this Ability becomes nonexistent.

===Trivia===
If {{m|Entrainment}} is used on a Pokémon with Illusion to give the ability {{a|Truant}}, the Pokémon will revert to its original form. However, when the Truant banner appears on turns when the Pokémon is loafing, the name remains as the Pokémon that the Illusion was made for.

Sacred Ash

2013-03-07T01:57:20Z

JacobCrystal: /* Flavor text */

[[File:Dream Sacred Ash Sprite.png|frame|right|Dream World art]]
The '''Sacred Ash''' (Japanese: '''せいなるはい''' ''Sacred Ash'') is a healing item found in most games since Generation II. Unlike other items in general, which work on only one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the Sacred Ash, when used, is used on multiple Pokémon at a time. It is very rare, and can only be used once, making it a very popular item for [[cloning glitches]] or obtaining it by other illegitimate methods.

==Uses==
It can be sold for {{PDollar}}100.

[[Generation II]]:
The Sacred Ash {{stat|HP|heals}} and [[Power points|restores]] ''all'' Pokémon in the party, as long as one Pokémon has fainted.

[[Generation III]] onwards:
The Sacred Ash heals and restores ''only'' Pokémon who have fainted.

==Locations==
[[File:Bag Sacred Ash Sprite.png|frame|right]]
The Sacred Ash is typically found only once per game, and will often have some relation to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the wild Ho-Oh that appears at the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] will be holding a Sacred Ash, as will any other Ho-Oh encountered in the wild through hacking.

===Generation III===
In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, the Sacred Ash is found on [[Navel Rock]], if the player uses the [[Itemfinder]] after capturing or defeating Ho-Oh, in Emerald it's also found held by the Ho-Oh itself. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} it has to be traded from the mentioned games.

Sacred Ashes can be found on the floor in Poké Balls in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}; however, they cannot be kept.

By defeating {{DL|Battle CDs 41-50|Battle CD 46}}, the player can earn another Sacred Ash as a prize in {{Pokémon XD}}.

===Generation IV===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, players can obtain it by having a Pokémon hold it in [[Generation III]] and sending it through [[Pal Park]], or trading from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Wild Ho-Oh, which can only be encountered with a cheating device, will always be holding this item.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there are up to two Sacred Ashes in the game. The first is obtained by talking to the Professor's aide in the right [[gate]] on Route 2, while the second is held by the {{p|Ho-Oh}} at the top of the [[Bell Tower]], just as it was in Generation II.

===Generation V===
Players can obtain Sacred Ash in [[Generation V]] by transferring it from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. Boxes purchased in [[Join Avenue]] {{DL|Join Avenue|Antique Shop}}s also have a chance of containing Sacred Ash. In {{game|Black and White|s}} it has to be traded from Black 2 or White 2.

==Trivia==
*Since the Sacred Ash cannot be used in battle (unlike the {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}}), its net effect can be achieved by applying 5 [[Revive]]s followed by 5 {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}}s/{{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}s, placing its value at {{pdollar}}{{tt|20000/22500|22500/25500 in Generation II with added Max Potion/Full Restore}}, respectively, in terms of utility alone.
**Use of {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s can also achieve this effect at only {{pdollar}}{{tt|14000|16500/17000 in Generation II with added Max Potion/Full Restore}}. However, this method reduces [[friendship]].

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese versions of {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the character [[Sabrina]] plays is named {{wp|Jujube}}, which is the literal English translation of her Japanese name, Natsume.
* The alternate title of the series, '''Die Pforten des Zauberreichs''', is German for "The Gates of the Magic Realm."
* Using {{m|Substitute}} in the second film triggers extra dialogue as the Plush Toy recognizes the Substitute as looking like himself.

'''Spiky-eared Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ギザみみピチュー''' ''Gizamimi Pichu'') is a female {{p|Pichu}}. Her [[Form differences|form]] is different from the one of an ordinary Pichu, as she has three spikes at the tip of her left ear, hence her name.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|needs=Personality and characteristics section needs adding}}
[[File:Spiky eared Pichu trailer.png|thumb|left|220px|{{AP|Pikachu}} with Spiky-eared Pichu]]
The Spiky-eared Pichu appeared in the movie ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' as [[Damos]]'s friend. She helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Damos]] to escape from their jail cell after they were imprisoned by [[Marcus]].

She was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview when movie director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world."

She also has an [[Get Fired up, Spiky-eared Pichu!|ending]] dedicated to her. This ending displays her love for [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

She made an appearance in [[PK24]].

==In the games==
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Double Pichu battle.png|thumb|Spiky-eared Pichu and [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] in a Double Battle]]
She appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} as an event Pokémon obtained in [[Ilex Forest]]. She will appear and join the player's party if the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] (or one of its evolutions) is brought to the shrine as the first Pokémon in the party. She has her own unique in-battle and overworld sprites and cannot evolve or be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver. Aside from her unique sprite, moves, and inability to be traded or evolve, she is nearly identical to a normal Pichu in that her base stats are the same as a normal Pichu's. However, her maximum stats for the [[Pokéathlon]] are different. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on it, it will have a spiky ear.

{{Shiny}} sprites for Spiky-eared Pichu exist in the coding of the games, although it is impossible to obtain due to the game assigning the Spiky-eared Pichu a fixed [[personality value]] that is predetermined according to the [[Trainer ID number]] and [[secret ID]]. This ensures that the [[personality value]] will never result in a Shiny nor a male Spiky-eared Pichu.

If taken to [[Professor Elm]], it is revealed that she has traveled through time with {{p|Celebi}}. Elm claims that he and [[Professor Oak]] were researching the time travel abilities of Celebi, and claims that this Pichu proves his main theory. He adds that the reason it cannot evolve is because it has been time traveling for so long. He will then call all the [[Pokémon Center]] attendants to prevent Spiky-eared Pichu from being used in trades; however, the attendants would not permit it into a trading facility prior to this either. Spiky-eared Pichu is also unable to be transferred through the [[Poké Transfer]] into a [[Generation V]] game.

Spiky-eared Pichu's inability to be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver can be explained as being preventative of trading an alternate form to a game in which it does not appear, as happens in Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver when entering the trade center with {{p|Rotom}} in an appliance, {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme, or {{p|Shaymin}} in its Sky Forme, by returning them to the forms they appeared in Diamond and Pearl. As Spiky-eared Pichu cannot freely change between forms, this explains the need to make her untradeable within Generation IV. However, it is unknown why her data does not exist in Generation V.

==In the manga==
===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
In the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|manga adaptation]] of the movie, Spiky-eared Pichu is a wild Pokémon that the characters meet in the distant past. She assists the characters in escaping from the movie's main antagonist, [[Marcus]].

==In the TCG==
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Spiky-eared Pichu in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==Trivia==
* A picture of a [[Pikachu short]] poster that featured Spiky-eared Pichu alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} was leaked several days before this Pokémon was officially revealed.
* Spiky-eared Pichu's sprite in HeartGold and SoulSilver is in a different pose than that of a normal Pichu, but she retains the two frames that a normal Pichu uses in her animation; thus, she is the first Pokémon to have more than one frame other than its standard pose in its animation since {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Spiky-eared Pichu is the only form difference that is not carried over into later games in the main series, as it cannot be transferred to [[Generation V]] games.
* Spiky-eared Pichu's inability to evolve is similar to that of the protagonists of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]; in both cases, this was due to the fact that they had time traveled, but in the latter the protagonists can evolve eventually.

JacobCrystal: /* Appearance of Trains */

== Uh oh, can someone who has expierence HELP! ==

I know its weird posting a problem on a talk page I created, but How can I move a New Section I just added. "Trading Items: Saturday" {{unsigned|Bobosmith01}}
:It looks like someone has already handled it. They moved it to the items section. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 16:23, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::I didn't even know he was adding that section when I added them. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 16:25, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Wow, redudancy.. HOw fo I delete the talk page? [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] 16:31, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
The rare candy is wrong, kinda. Ever day you visit him he gives you an item. On Saturday/ my second visit on a different day he gave me a Carbos. [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] 16:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Man in the South-East House ==
Serebii states that every week, the man in the south-east house will give one of the items of HP Up, Protein, Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Carbos, Full Restore, Max Revive, Elixir, or Rare Candy. This is incorrect. Every time you win a 7 streak in the Battle Subway, he will have a new item to give you. If you continue to win streaks, does not matter if you lose in between, he will give you that item in equivalence to the amount of streaks you have won. I believe this should be noted in the article somehow, but I am awful at wording. jigglyppuff8[[User:8RstuPId2Y|!8RstuPId2Y]] [[User Talk:8RstuPId2Y|Talk]] 18:07, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

== Hyperspeed Train on weekends ==

Today is Sunday, yet there are no traders here. An old man in one of the houses says that it is a very rare occurrence that there are no traders on a weekend. I believe it may be related to the fact that the hyperspeed train is here (which is invisible), and the traders come to see trains. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:20, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

:I'm having the same problem also. [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] 22:56, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

== Anville Town is on the Map ==

It says not to add trivia sections so I didn't want to touch it since I'm new. But the trivia section incorrectly states that Anville Town doesn't appear on the map. It in fact does, in the top left corner. It just isn't next to Nimbasa City so I'm guessing the person who added this trivia didn't notice it. [[User:O76923|O76923]] 08:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
:It is correct. While it is represented on the map, it is done so with a generic green dot, rather than the blue/yellow one all villages, towns and cities, barring Avnville and the Village Bridge, have. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 08:42, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

== Rare Candies? ==

The page says the man only gives one Rare Candy, but he gave me four, and it was my first time at Anville Town! I had just finished a 21-streak on the Multi Train. Is that why? And should it be noted in the article? Thanks! [[User:Nicjmartin|Nikki]] 15:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

== Visual error ==

Um in google chrome I found that the hidden text overlaps the map! Please fix this.[[User:Lufan131|Lufan131]] 17:43, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

'''Gates''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ゲート|gēto}}''' ''gate'') are prominent features of [[route]]s in the [[Pokémon world]]. They are located at junctions between different routes, or placed between a route and a [[city]].

==In the games==
===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], gates serve to separate two areas and to guard the corresponding [[route]], which is why a gatekeeper usually resides inside. Upon speaking to the gatekeeper, they may offer words of advice or information about the route or city that the gate guards.

Gates usually share the background music with one of the two or more areas that they connect and this remained a consistent element of gates up to [[Generation V]], where gates finally received their own background music. Gates aren't locations on their own either, which is another element that was changed in Generation V, where gates are now locations by themselves.

Certain gates contain a second floor that features a spot where binoculars can be used to see faraway landmarks or even certain Pokémon. In some of these, the {{player}} will usually encounter one of [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professors' aides|aides]]. He will check the [[Pokédex]] and will reward the player if he or she has caught a given number.

Four gates block the player from passing them to access [[Saffron City]] until he meets certain requirements:
* give a {{DL|Drink|Fresh Water}}{{sup/1|RGB}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/1|Y}}, {{DL|Drink|Soda Pop}}{{sup/1|RGB}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/1|Y}}, {{DL|Drink|Lemonade}}{{sup/1|RGB}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/1|Y}}, purchasable at the [[Celadon Department Store]], or {{DL|Drink|Tea}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}, received by an old lady on the ground floor of [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]], to the thirsty gatekeeper at the gates on {{rt|5|Kanto|Routes 5}}, {{rt|6|Kanto|6}}, {{rt|7|Kanto|7}} and {{rt|8|Kanto|8}}, all of which lead to [[Saffron City]];
* obtain the [[Bicycle]] so that the gatekeeper at the gates on {{rt|16|Kanto|Routes 16}} and {{rt|18|Kanto|18}} allows the player to go through and enter {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}};
* obtain all 8 [[Badge|Gym Badges]] and show each one to the 8 gatekeepers at the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate|Pokémon League Front Gate]] on {{rt|22|Kanto}} and at {{rt|23|Kanto}} to grant access to {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Indigo Plateau]].

Riding the Bicycle inside the gates is not possible in Generation I.

===Generation II===
Much like [[Generation I]], gates serve to separate two areas. Unlike other buildings, the {{player}} can often ride their [[Bicycle]] through these buildings to guarantee fast transportation. None of the gates have second floors, including those in [[Kanto]] that had them in Generation I.

At the gate leading to {{rt|35|Johto}}, to the north of [[Goldenrod City]], is gatekeeper {{jo|Webster|Randy}}, a [[non-player character]], who will give a {{p|Spearow}} to the player that holds [[Mail]] to be delivered to his friend on {{rt|31|Johto}}.

Three gates forbid the player to enter until he/she meets certain requirements:
* in [[Ecruteak City]], the player must have the [[Legendary artifacts#Rainbow Wing|Rainbow Wing]]{{sup/2|GS}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} and the [[Legendary artifacts#Clear Bell|Clear Bell]]{{sup/2|C}}{{sup/4|HG}} or [[Legendary artifacts#Tidal Bell|Tidal Bell]]{{sup/4|SS}} to pass the gate that leads to [[Bellchime Trail]] (a location that is unnamed and considered part of Ecruteak City in Generation II), the small area outside [[Bell Tower]];
* {{PDollar}}1,000 must be paid (if the player has at least that amount of money) to either {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} at the gate on {{rt|43|Johto}} next to the southernmost gate that connects to [[Mahogany Town]] but only before defeating [[Team Rocket]] at [[Team Rocket HQ]] (called Rocket Hideout in [[Generation II]]);
* the [[Bicycle]] is required so that the gatekeeper at the gates on {{rt|16|Kanto|Routes 16}} and {{rt|18|Kanto|18}} allows the player to go through and enter {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}};

===Generation III===
Gates are sparse in the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Generation III]] games. There are only two gates, each connected to the [[Seaside Cycling Road]]. {{Player|Player}}s may not ride [[Bicycle]]s as they travel away from Seaside Cycling Road, but are forced upon their Bicycle if traveling towards it. If the Bicycle has not been obtained, the gatekeeper does not allow the player to enter Seaside Cycling Road.

In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, which are set in [[Kanto]], gates serve the same purpose as in [[Generation I]]. The only significant change is that since players can now trade [[held item|items attached to a Pokémon]], the [[key item]] {{DL|Drink|Tea}} was introduced to prevent the player from advancing through the gates surrounding [[Saffron City]] prematurely. This key item serves the same purpose as the [[drink]] from the original games. Gates also exist in the [[Sevii Islands]], giving access from the port to each town; however, they are not used to connect areas, being instead both the entrance and exit points for the [[Seagallop Ferries]].

The only common gates to both Hoenn and Kanto are the ones at [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]].

===Generation IV===
Much like in past [[generation]]s, the gates in [[Generation IV]] serve to separate two areas. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the {{player}} cannot ride their [[Bicycle]] through these buildings, but this limitation was lifted in {{v2|Platinum}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Female gatekeepers were introduced in this generation.

In the [[Sinnoh]]-based games, most gates don't have gatekeepers to watch over the route, but other travelers can be found inside, as well as a [[Town Map|map]] showing the player's current location.

Four gates have restrictions, however:
* two of them are the gates at {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} as they are the entrance and/or exit for {{rt|206|Sinnoh|Cycling Road}};
* one is at [[Hearthome City]], which connects to {{rt|209|Sinnoh}} and requires the player to have met [[Fantina]]{{sup/4|DP}} or to have defeated her{{sup/4|Pt}};
* and the other one is at [[Fight Area]], requiring the player to have the [[National Pokédex]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, set in [[Johto]] and in [[Kanto]], the gates are similar to those in [[Generation II]] and the gatekeepers in charge of guarding them are reinstated. Like in Generation II, there are no gates with second floors, taking into account those in Kanto that had them in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Generation V===
There are gates on several routes in [[Unova]], each with a gatekeeper. Gates now have ''[[Pokémon Black and White Super Music Collection|Gate]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|ゲート|Gēto}}) as background music, and each gate has a specific name (e.g.: Opelucid Gate). These names appear in-game when saving inside a gate and/or on the summary page of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} hatched inside a gate. Due to this, gates are now [[List of locations by index number (Generation V)|locations]] by themselves.

Another new feature of gates in [[Generation V]] is the introduction of an electronic bulletin board and a screen on one of the walls. The electronic bulletin board displays the current date, the weather in a few adjacent routes and towns (including what location a {{p|Tornadus|windstorm}} or {{p|Thundurus|thunderstorm}} is brewing at), information about a nearby town or city, and information about where Pokémon are [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] (once the {{player}} has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]). The screen shows images from the connected location. Also in these gates are a trash can and two chairs for a quick rest.

There are also some gates that only connect bridges and that have unique designs, though these gates don't have electronic bulletin boards and monitors.

Two gates impose certain requirements from the player to allow him/her to pass:
* in [[Accumula Town]], Accumula Gate is blocked by two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s until [[Ghetsis]] talks to the citizens and the player battles [[N]];
* [[Bianca]] will not let the player pass Nimbasa Gate before she shows him/her the [[Pokémon Musical|Musical Theater]] in [[Nimbasa City]].

The gates also have a practical use within the games' programming. As a {{player}} moves from a [[route]] to a town or city, the map's textures (tilesets in the first three [[generation]]s) must be loaded for each. While this is easy when a city connects to relatively few routes, where all can use the same tileset/texture, areas like [[Saffron City]] and [[Hearthome City]], which connect to many different areas, would need to load multiple tilesets/textures, potentially slowing down the game or even crashing it. The programmers, realizing this, broke up the overworld with these gates to assure crash-free gameplay, and to properly display the routes, towns and cities.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, a player can use a "walk through walls" cheat to go from location to location without going through the gates. By doing this, the map textures work as expected, except for many of them appearing as white tiles. Some buildings seem to be invisible as well. The cheat can also be used in the [[Generation V]] games; however, the texture problem is very limited, if not completely absent.

==Trivia==
* Despite having been a mechanic of the games since [[Generation I]] and being officially called "gates" since then, these buildings are usually referred to by fans as "guardhouses" or "gatehouses".
** However, gates were only made a location by themselves as well as given individual names and background music in [[Generation V]].
* So far, and due to their design, the gates at the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]] are the only ones that have their supporting pillars built on water.
** They are also the only gates that have a single access point, given that they are the gates of the islands' ports, with one common entrance and exit for the [[Seagallop Ferries]]. These gates are all headed north as well.

'''Route 9''' (Japanese: '''９ばんどうろ''' ''Route 9'') is a route in the north-central [[Unova]], connecting the [[Tubeline Bridge]] and [[Opelucid City]]. In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Route 9 also holds the entrance to [[Challenger's Cave]], which is only accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]].

==Route description==
Route 9 is a short, forested route, dominated by a paved road that connects Tubeline Bridge and Opelucid City. There are six {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, and one [[Double Battle]]. Two of the Trainers are moving, while the others are stationary. To the north of the route is [[Shopping Mall Nine]], with two [[vending machine]]s to the right. At the bottom of the route are several [[tall grass]] patches and {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}} patches, separated by trees. After going down stairs, a {{tc|Black Belt}} will be blocking the entrance to [[Challenger's Cave]]. After completing the game, Challenger's Cave may be entered. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, after the [[Plasma Frigate]] freezes the nearby Opelucid City, part of this route will be frozen making it impossible to enter Shopping Mall Nine while the ice remains due to having to slide on the ice until after the player has defeated the [[Elite Four]].

==Places of interest==
[[Shopping Mall Nine]] is located on Route 9.

'''Route 13''' (Japanese: '''１３ばんどうろ''' ''Route 13'') is a beach route in western [[Unova]], connecting [[Lacunosa Town]] and [[Undella Town]]. It is renowned for its sandbars, seaside scenery and beautiful sea, with large cliff-like outcrops which are covered in lush grass, full of Pokémon. Many rare items can be found hidden on this route.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, it also gives access to the [[Giant Chasm]]. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the player encounters {{p|Cobalion}} here where it waits to battle the player.

==Route description==
Route 13 is the known as the longest road in the Unova region, connecting [[Lacunosa Town]] to [[Undella Town]]. The major feature of this route is the [[Giant Chasm]]. There are several items around the route and along the coasts of smaller islands; these items will eventually regenerate. On a western chunk of the route, a treasure hunter will give the player a random item every day. Even further west, there is a house where an old man will teach a [[starter Pokémon]] {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respective to its [[type]].

In the years between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the path to the Giant Chasm was blocked.

'''Route 13''' (Japanese: '''１３ばんどうろ''' ''Route 13'') is a beach route in western [[Unova]], connecting [[Lacunosa Town]] and [[Undella Town]]. It is renowned for its sandbars, seaside scenery and beautiful sea, with large cliff-like outcrops which are covered in lush grass, full of Pokémon. Many rare items can be found hidden on this route.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, it also gives access to the [[Giant Chasm]]. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the player encounters {{p|Cobalion}} here where it waits to battle the player.

==Route description==
Route 13 is the known as the longest road in the Unova region, connecting [[Lacunosa Town]] to [[Undella Town]]. The major feature of this route is the [[Giant Chasm]]. There are several items around the route and along the coasts of smaller islands; these items will eventually regenerate. On a western chunk of the route, a treasure hunter will give the player a random item every day. Even further west, there is a house where an old man will teach a [[starter Pokémon]] {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respective to its [[type]].

In the years between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the path to the Giant Chasm was blocked.

'''Route 13''' (Japanese: '''１３ばんどうろ''' ''Route 13'') is a beach route in western [[Unova]], connecting [[Lacunosa Town]] and [[Undella Town]]. It is renowned for its sandbars, seaside scenery and beautiful sea, with large cliff-like outcrops which are covered in lush grass, full of Pokémon. Many rare items can be found hidden on this route.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, it also gives access to the [[Giant Chasm]]. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the player encounters {{p|Cobalion}} here where it waits to battle the player.

==Route description==
Route 13 is the known as the longest road in the Unova region, connecting [[Lacunosa Town]] to [[Undella Town]]. The major feature of this route is the [[Giant Chasm]]. There are several items around the route and along the coasts of smaller islands; these items will eventually regenerate. On a western chunk of the route, a treasure hunter will give the player a random item every day. Even further west, there is a house where an old man will teach a [[starter Pokémon]] {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respective to its [[type]].

In the years between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the path to the Giant Chasm was blocked.

[[Lostlorn Forest]] lies to the north and can be accessed though a path on the western end of the route. Two people will be blocking the entrance to the bridge until the player has defeated [[Team Plasma]] at [[N's Castle]].

==Route description==
Many people visiting [[Nimbasa City]] stop by at Route 16 to rest. The route contains a grassy area to the north and is surrounded by wooden fences. There are a few buildings that can not be entered at the start of the route, and the paved path continues pass the fenced area to Marvelous Bridge. The first entrance in the wooden fence can be entered easily, and leads to Lostlorn Forest. It is covered in patches of [[tall grass]]. The second area requires {{m|Strength}}, which then leads to several patches of {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}. After passing the fenced area, the {{player}} can continue to [[Marvelous Bridge]].

'''Dratini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミニリュウ''' ''Miniryu'') is a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}} starting at level 55.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dratini are {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} Pokémon that inhabit lakes and rivers. They possess white fins on the sides of their heads as well as a large, round silver nose on their face. They also have purple-colored eyes and a small, white circular feature on their head. Dratini are constantly growing, and can become quite long. As they grow, they {{a|Shed Skin|shed their delicate deep blue skin}}. Dratini also seem to have a much stockier body than their {{p|Dragonair|evolved form}}.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
As a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, Dratini can use Dragon-type moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|Twister}}. They are also capable of using {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{type2|Fire}} moves. Some examples are {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Behavior===
Dratini are timid, elusive, and extremely shy Pokémon, and thus are rarely seen, resulting in the belief that they are mythological among certain communities in Kanto.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Dratini are said to be nonexistent or one-of-a-kind Pokémon, as they are so rare. However, they are found in several places, including the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Mt. Coronet]], and [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dratini anime.png|thumb|200px|Dratini in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Clair's Dratini]]====
Dratini's first dub appearance was in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This Dratini belonged to [[Clair]] and {{TRT}} wanted to steal it from her. Clair's Dratini evolved into a {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} at the end of the episode.

====Other====
Dratini first appeared in [[EP035]]. [[Kaiser|The Warden]] of the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] was protecting the Dragon Pokémon. The episode was banned from English-audiences due to excessive use of a firearm.

===Minor appearances===
A Dratini appeared in one of {{TRT}}'s fantasies in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.

Another Dratini appeared in ''[[PK09|Snorlax Snowmen]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP251|Dratini|Ash's Pokédex|Dratini, the Dragon Pokémon. Dratini {{a|Shed Skin|sheds its skin}} as it grows, often doing so while hidden behind large powerful waterfalls.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Dratini first debuted in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' in the [[Viridian Forest]]. It had been attacking {{adv|Yellow}} but was calmed by {{adv|Red}}.

Dratini was seen in a flashback of [[Lance]]'s as a Pokémon harmed by human industrialization. This motivated Lance to formulate his plot to destroy humanity many years later.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} found a Dratini in the Safari Zone which he gave it to a fisherman afterwards.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Dratini (TCG)}}

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Dratini was originally known as "Dragoon". Although this word can mean a European military unit that is transported on horseback but fights on foot, the name was probably selected as a combination of ''dragon'' and ''lagoon''.
* Dratini is the first {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon by [[National Pokédex]] order. Its evolutionary family comprise the only Dragon types in [[Generation I]].
* Dratini and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}} and its evolutions, and {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
* Dratini's sprite in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green featured it with a striped stomach which was removed for {{game|Yellow}} and all following games.
* Dratini is the only Pokémon not related to a {{type2|Water}} by evolution that is capable of learning {{m|Aqua Jet}}.
** As a result, Dratini, its evolutions and {{p|Masquerain}} are the only Pokémon that do not gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from it.
* Dratini is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Dratini is one of the few Pokémon to receive a different sprite in [[Pokémon Crystal]].
**In addition, the coloration of Dratini's shiny sprite in Gen II appears very similar to the normal sprite in later generations, while the shiny sprite in later generations shows Dratini as a shade of pink.

===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''ryu'', traditional {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s or {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck. Its constant growth is similar to that of {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, a serpent in Norse mythology. Its reclusive nature and the fact that for a long time it was considered a myth is reminiscent of the {{wp|loch ness monster}}.

====Name origin====
Dratini is a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and a corruption of ''tiny''; ''tini-tiny'' is a phrase to indicate smallness. ''Ini'' is also an Italian suffix, applied to a word to imply endearment or smallness. Despite this, it is fairly large for a Pokémon, being nearly six feet (1.8 meters) in length.

Miniryu a combination of ''miniature'' and 竜 ''ryū'' (dragon).

JacobCrystal: /* Latias in Anime */ new section

Is it worth putting in the trivia that Latias and Latios are the only legendary Pokemon confirmed by the games to be species and not individuals? Except for maybe Manaphy, since something had to have laid the egg. - [[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]]

:<s>Multiple Mew and Lugia have been seen too.</s> [[User:PH1RESTRIKE| 1337Fire ]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE| ►strike! ]] 14:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:What I meant was, it's not really ''correct''-ish because it's really possible there are others. Take Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres in Pokémon Snap for example. [[User:PH1RESTRIKE| 1337Fire ]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE| ►strike! ]] 14:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot about Snap. Thanks, sorry. - [[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]]

==Arceus==
"Latias is one of the few non-Flying-types who can learn Fly. The others are Mew, Smeargle, Vibrava, Flygon, Latios, and Giratina."

Does that mean that Arceus counts as flying type do to plates? [[User:riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]]
:Yes, Arceus can be a Flying-type due to plates, so it doesn't count. Don't forget, use four tildes to sign your posts. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 09:37, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

::Then some should change Latios's version because it's trivia includes Arceus. [[User:riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]]

== Latias's human Special form ==

Maybe we should put up a shot of her human form? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 21:58, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
:You mean...{{mov|Bianca}}? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 14:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::Not all Latias have human form. So it is not needed. --[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] 12:14, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
:::I think Lovely Rose means [[a:File:Pokémon Special Latias human form.jpg|Latias's human form from Pokémon Special]], and I agree that it should be added to the "In the manga" section. However, I can't add it because the page is currently protected. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 20:07, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

== Latias and Latios Species ==

Should it be mentioned in the trivia section that while Latios and Latias are one species in the anime, only with tons of sexual dimorphism, the games' internal coding considers them two separate species? What I mean is that they're different from Nidoran because an egg produced by either gender Nidoran can also hatch into either gender Nidoran, but an egg produced by a Latias can only hatch into a Latias, and an egg laid by a Latios can only hatch into a Latios. I bred them using Action Replay, and all the eggs produced by Latias and Ditto hatched into Latias, all the eggs produced by Latios and Ditto hatched into Latios, and all the eggs produced by Latios and Latias hatched into Latias.--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 01:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Location in HGSS ==

It only appeared in SoulSilver? --[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] 12:13, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

== Sprite eyecolor in Gen4 ==

It looks to me that Latias' eye color of the shiny sprite changes between DP (gold) and Platinum/HGSS (green). The backsprite is still gold. Can someone confirm that? [[User:RWMVG1DC|RWMVG1DC]] 14:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Sprite changes ==

So... the sprite table's listing the Platinum sprite being the same as the HGSS one. But it's definetly displaying as the DP one on my Platinum (???) and the newer sprite on my SS (as it should). Can someone double-check this on their own Plat to make sure that I'm not insane (or if they slipped the newer sprite in the English Plat or something) and before I fiddle around with the images? And does this sound too confusing for anybody to understand? ?_? ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 21:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

==Origin==
Since it & Blaziken were originally the same Pokemon, could Latias (& Latios) also be based on Junglefowl/Chickens? Worth noting I think.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 21:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

I found about beings called "Aeons" that have genders, and angel-like, and normally comes in pairs. lati@s might be baised off of that due to being in pairs, and having genders. they have levitate, so they might be angel-like.
[[User:Rockets-mew-of-vp|Rockets-mew-of-vp]] 22:02, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
:Sounds plausible, given that they are called the ''Eon Pokemon'', could you post a link to verify it? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 16:23, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeon#In_Gnosticism

Rockets-mew-of-vp is an associate of mine. I was the one that explained to him the connection I saw between the Eon Pokemon and Aeons. In the article, it explains that certain Aeons are immaterial beings of concepts. They are emanations from God, they also emanate other aeons. 32 appear to exist in all, 34 in certain interpretations. This may also explain how it is they have genders and are incapable of mating, yet have more than one exist at a time. Though in games canon, Kyogre, Groudon, and Raquaza appear in two different regions, but are native to only one and being one of a kind each.

Another reason being, as of you course you have gathered, is that the words "eon" and "aeon" are the same, it is only in North America that the word is spelled as "eon" rather than "aeon". They are both the same word having the same general meaning of a great span of time. All information I have gathered on the subject matter has been from wikipedia.
:I do think it is highly likely that the Lati were based on the Aeons and that should definitely be added to the Origin section (it kinda puts my Junglefowl theory to shame...) '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 01:33, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

== Wrong file ==

The "Blaziken/Latias" Trivia links the wrong archive page. It links to Latias_Combusken, not Latias_Blaziken [[User:Togelover|Togelover]] 23:15, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

== Evobox ==

Since Latias & Latios are the same Pokemon, but with gender differences (like [[Talk:Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)#Evo box|Nidoran]], & [[Talk:Volbeat (Pokémon)#Evolution Section|Volbeat/Illumise]]), this should be represented in the Evolution section

>In the TCG, shiny Pokémon are called "shining" Pokémon.

Yes and no. There's "shining" cards, "crystal" cards, and the new ones that don't have a collecive name but are denoted by a star on them (so are commonly called "stars" or "shining stars")- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Blackjack Gabbiani|Blackjack Gabbiani]] ([[User talk:Blackjack Gabbiani|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Blackjack Gabbiani|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

>If you evolve a shiny pokemon, will it stay shiny? [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 19:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, although sometimes the coloration of it will change. Shiny Charmeleon changes from off-red to a black Charizard, for instance. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 21:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

It's the same as a red Charmeleon becoming an orange Charizard. Regular becomes regular, shiny becomes shiny. It's another status like the nature. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 00:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but the {{p|Kecleon}} seen in [[EP205]] is not a shiny pokémon. To my knowledge an alternate colored Kecleon is turquoise not purple. -- {{u|Kenji-girl}}

: If it's not a normally-coloured Pokémon it must, logically, be an alternately-coloured Pokémon. It doesn't matter if it doesn't match the precise alternate colouration of the games. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 10:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:Those purple Kecleon are like that because... they're Kecleon, simple as it sounds. Not sure how to word it in the article, but it's not surprising that a chameleon Pokémon can have color variations, either because the interpretation of its traits is to blend with its surroundings (field Kecleon, pinball, anime) or changing its type via {{a|Color Change}}. This is too similar to discussing [[Smeargle (Pokémon)#Pokédex entries|the Crystal Pokédex entry for Smeargle]] --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:54, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, as there is said, every trainer has his own IDtrainer, which can be seen, and secret IDsecret , which can't be seen anywhere (that's why it's called secret).
Then, Pokémon has its own personality value, which is represented by 32 bits (all of them either 1 or 0). As you can read about it [[personality value#Shininess|here]].
E is the amount of ''ID'' xor ''ID2'' (the trainer's ID and the secret ID), while F is ''(the first 16 digits)'' xor ''(the second 16 digits)''. Then if E xor F is less than 8, the Pokémonis shiny.
But what that "xor" is? Good question. Xor is a mathematical function, that will compare two numbers (it should work only in binary) and:
- if the numbers are the same (either 1/1 or 0/0), the result is 0
- if the numbers are different (either 1/0 or 0/1, what's technically teh same case)
the result is 0.
Now, the first 16 digits of personality value in binary xor the second 16 digits will logically give number with 16 digits.
Both IDtrainer and IDsecret have 16 digits, thus the result will have 16 digits as well.
Now, when we did IDtrainer xor IDsecret and got the first number with 16 digits (E) and we first 16 digits xor second 16 digits (F), we do E xor F. If the results is less than 8, the Pokémon will be shiny.
The chance of this happening is 1/8192 as said everywhere, because the highest number with 16 digits in binary is 65 535 in decimal, plus 1 one (0). As said before, "the Pokémon is shiny if the result less than 8", thus there are 8 solutions out of thos 65536 possible. 8/65 536 = 1/8192, what is approximately about 0,0001220703125%. --KingisNitro

==Breeding chance in Gen IV==
Though I haven't found any definite sources, apparently the odds of breeding a shiny pokemon to have a shiny offspring is 1/8192, as much as finding a regular shiny. Is this true? If so, this renders Shiny dittos practically useless. [[User:Razor|Razor]] 07:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

: As useless as shiny Pokemon are regularly, but yes. It's the same odds as it would be with a regular Pokemon. --[[User:Porygon|Porygon]] 09:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

== Include 4th Gen formulas? ==

I think this article should include the formulas for determining whether or not a pokemon is shiny from its MAP and OT IDs. Any objections? Also, the probability of obtaining a shiny in Gens 3/4 should be corrected to the correct value, 1/8192, not 2/65025. Where did that number come from, anyway?
--[[User:Reuvens|Reuvens]] 22:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:I think the second number is the chance that a Pokémon will contract Pokérus. :/ Good idea, by the way. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 19:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I think I've found the source of this ridiculous number, after a little bit of futzing. 256^2 is 65536, and the chance of encountering a shiny is 8/65536. However, 255^2 is 65025, and so it's possible that someone hit a wrong button on their calculator when trying to calculate chances. Unfortunately, I doubt that figuring any of this out is going to change the fact that a whole bunch of people are now misreporting the odds as 2/65025 simply by virtue of it previously being on Bulbapedia. Hopefully it'll die out soon.-- [[User:Reuvens|Reuvens]] 01:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

<strike>The chance is not 8/65536 (1/8192), but '''8 in 65536''', or '''8/(65536-8)''' (or 1/819'''1'''). That makes the chance 0.0001220852154804053% instead of 0.0001220703125%.</strike> Not much of a difference, but if such an insanely precise percentage is given, it should be accurate.

:Well if the chance of something is '''1 in 10''' it mathematically IS a 10% chance (which is 1/10. 1in10= 10%= 0.1= 1/10). <strike>You are saying that '''1 in 10''' is 1/(10-1) which simplifies into 1/9 (just like you said 1/(8192-1) simplifies to 1/8191) ) which is 10.11..% (1/9= 10.11..%= 0.11..). 10%≠10.11..%. So ''you'' are also saying that if something is a 1 in 3 chance it is a 1/(3-1) chance (which simplifies to 1/2, 1/2 is 50%--1/3 is 33.33%).</strike> If I have a jar with 3 different colored (red,pink,blue) marbles the chance of getting a pink is 1/3 (33.33%), blue is 1/3 (33.33%), and red is 1/3 (33.33%). All three percents add up to 100% and fractions add up 1 (3/3=1).<strike> If each was 50% like ''you'' were saying it would add up to 150% and 1.5 (3/2=1.5).</strike> And I was gonna round those decimal numbers on those pages, I just forgot. --[[User:Sivart345|Sivart]][[User talk:Sivart345|3]][[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|4]][[User:Firestorm|'''5''']] 22:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I fixed the percentage. Before the article claimed a .00012207% chance (approximately) of finding a shiny Pokemon. However, .0012207 is equal to 8/65536.

:In Generation II, there was a sort of "gene" system where a shiny's offspring would more likely be shiny. However, Generation III got rid of that system. You have the same chances of finding a wild shiny as hatching a shiny, whether the parent was shiny or not.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 22:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Look, I know Shiny Snorlax are blue, but the Snorlax in [[SS012|''Training Daze]]'' was the legendary Red Snorlax. It wasn't a real Snorlax, because it turns out in the end that the Snorlax was [[Viper]], the Drill Sergeant of the [[Team Rocket Academy]] in disguise.

I noticed that it says there is as high as a 1/64 chance of breeding a shiny Pokémon in Gen II. I recently hatched 5 eggs in my Silver version.

If the chances are really 1/64 than the odds of that happening are about 1/430. With only 5 samples, its not enough info to say whether this was just luck or maybe our hypotheses about breeding need to be looked over. Any thoughts?

== Pokemon Stadium ==

This says they could have "slightly" different colors. xD That made me laugh. The color variations in Stadium and (especially) Stadium 2 could be anywhere from miniscule to OUTRAGEOUS. I swear on Tajiri's grave I had a female Nidoran (actually Spot, from the boy south of Cerulean) who throughout her life looked male on Stadium 2. As a Nidoqueen, this became far worse than ever before, as she became a perfect shade of Nidoking purple with the teal ears, and a lighter creamy pastel teal for her face/torso accents. x3 Spot was awesome, lol. Incidentally, as the same NidoranF could be obtained on any Red or Blue, I tried it with a couple different game paks and never got another with her colors.

Poliwag were another one that was awesome. Typically for me, their skin ranged from teal to bright purple, while their lips could be any color of the rainbow. xD I had two full boxes on Stadium 2 of stored Poliwag just seeing how many different ones I could find. x3 Man, good ol' Stadium, neh?

== Ho-Oh Error ==

"The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first Generation II Pokémon to be seen, a Ho-Oh seen by Ash in the first episode."

This sentence, from the way I read it, seems to claim that the first shiny Pokémon in the anime to match its alternate coloration in the games is the Ho-Oh in the first episode. Correction: Ho-Oh was covered entirely in a golden aura; We have no way of telling whether this is actually an alternate coloration or not. While one could argue that the colors we do see are not the same as its regular colors in-game, the depicted coloration isn't identical to its "official" shiny form either. It's just a Ho-Oh with a fully golden appearance due to the aura surrounding it. [[User:Marlowe|Marlowe]] 03:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

::Ah, this isn't objective proof, however. If the Toxicroak was in a normal appearance, and not floating around under idle showcasing for points unknown, there could be an argument (but no, not really). Instead, I can point out that the color filter does make some of the pokémon look off-color. That Bibarel just before is practially ''rosy'' compared to its normal brown, and Bonsly is a faint gold-green instead of its normal brown (not that I'm saying Toxicroak is affected by this; the difference would have been slighter and not several shades removed). That, and there's no way of saying that neither production teams didn't take liberties: series folk made its normal form with the shiny variation, and movie folk either ignored that or didn't realize and used its normal colors as they should be.

Which is correct? Because by defenition, Alternate coloration means differently colored. Any Pokémon that's not it's original color should be in a page about '''DIFFERENTLY COLORED ''' Pokémon.

== Shiny egg sent to a different game ==

If Shinyness it determined by personality value and trainer/secret ID what happens if you bred a shiny egg in one game, reset the game to before it hatched and traded to another game. The Pokémon will have a new OT so would the game recalculate it's shinyness based on the new trainer/secret ID or will it remember it was shiny in the other game and therefore hatch shiny? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 16:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
:It recalculates, since the Shiny condition is determined by the {{tt|OT's|hatching Trainer's}} Trainer & Secret IDs, and then the personality value. While the personality value is determined when the egg is received from the Day Care Man, the other parts of the equation depend on who hatches it. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 16:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

:Unlike most others, I might know the reason to this. While I don't know how it works in the Generation II games, I know how it works in the Gen III games, and it should hypothetically work in a similar way in the Gen II games. Anyways, due to the data structure in those games, a sprite can oly have accessibility to a certain, preprogrammed combination of 16 colors at a time. Due to this, there are over 1500 (!) combinations of colors possible, for each sprite, and also has the positions of their colors possible. While the data normally gives the Pokémon, upon first encounter, it gives them combination #596, the normal color, with a slight chance of combination #597, the alternate color, appearing. If the game is hacked or cheated to let a Pokémon of another combination appear it will, ofcourse, appear in that color. Hypothetically, it should work in a similar way in the Gen II games. If so, there's a possibility is that they added all thos colors to Stadium to prevent crashing the game if that Pokémon would be sent to it. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Pokémon Lover King Mario}} ([[User talk:Pokémon Lover King Mario|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pokémon Lover King Mario|contribs]]) ''

== Mesuda Method ==

I have been seeing things on the web about the "Masuda Method". Supposedly the chance of receiving a shiny pokemon is 1/2048 when you hatch an egg if the parents are from different countries. I have no proof of this, however as it is not on the talk pages yet, I was wondering if anyone here could confirm whether this is true or not.

== Colosseum and XD ==
Is it possible for the pokemon you snag in Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD to be Shiny? If so, how is it indicated on the status screen and when they are released. I was so convinced my Growlithe in XD was shiny but it was just a light color and ultraballs give yellow goldy orange stars when they are released... it really bummed me out because I thought it was the first shiny I have ever seen and Owned... -- [[User:D558|D558]] 00:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

If it is shiny then the text in it summary should be yellow instead of white, there will also be a short animation after being sent into battle. It should also be noted on this page that some shiny pokemon are completely different than in the main games, for example I have a shiny Heracross that is blue with darker coloured eyes & a pink stomach as opposed to main games shiny Heracross which are pink all over with normal eyes, Voltorb is also a different, being very very dark blue (almost black) with a light blue base, while shiny Electrode is no different to those in the main games. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 21:06, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
--Also I thought I should add that Shadow Lugia & Bonsly do not have shiny forms in XD, if they are made to be shiny with cheats or that 1 in 1000000 chance of being shiny they will still have the shiny animation but they will not appear any different & their battle pictures & box sprites & purification set animations will be the same, though Shadow Lugia will become appear shiny when purified. While Munchlax can be hacked, it dosent have any of the above in its regular or shiny form & the game will crash if sent into battle.

For example, a shiny Zubat will have higher stats than a regular Zubat of the same level, nature, EV's and IV's etc. Is this true? [[User:FrozenStrategy|FrozenStrategy]] 21:11, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
:No. The reason this myth came about was because in generation II a shiny Pokémon had to have specific IVs, which were better than average, although still not brilliant. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:37, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

== Colosseum/XD Shiny Differences ==

I found a german website which shows the differences between Shiny Pokemon in Col/XD & the normal games, for example shiny Kecleon in the main games look no different except for having a blue stripe, but the Col/XD ones are yellow with light blue markings [http://www.pokewiki.de/Kecleon], Voltorb is very very dark blue, almost black [http://www.pokewiki.de/Voltobal], Mantine is dark green [http://www.pokewiki.de/Mantax], Heracross is blue & pink with darker eyes [http://www.pokewiki.de/Skaraborn], Staryu is green/brown [http://www.pokewiki.de/Sterndu], etc. shouldnt this be added either to this page or to the pages of each Pokemon? {{unsigned|Vuvuzela2010}}

== Gen V Pokedex note ==

Under the header "Generations III, IV, and V", it says: ''"In Generation V, Pokémon in the Pokédex will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered is Shiny."'' This is only partly true. The Pokémon that displays on the main page of your Pokédex is, ''by default'', the first specimen that you encountered. So, for example, if you meet a male Frillish and then a female Jellicent (as I did), then you will have a blue Frillish followed by a pink Jellicent. However, you can change what Pokémon is displayed. So if it bothers you to have a blue Frillish followed by a Pink Jellicent (as it bothered me), you can fix it so both entries are pink or both entries are blue (alternately you can show off your shinies, set entries to non-shiny, etc.). Here are the steps for changing what Pokémon is displaye on the main page of your Pokédex:
1 -- Go into your Pokédex and find the Pokémon whose sprite you want to change.
2 -- Click (A). This should take you to a page where, along the bottom, there are 4 buttons that read: (INFO)(AREA)(CRY)(FORMS)
3 -- Click left on the D-pad and then (A).
4 -- If you have encountered more than 1 form of the Pokémon, then there should now be 2 sprites next to each other. If you have encountered 3 or more forms, you can press left and right to see more forms.
5 -- When you find the sprite you want to be displayed on the main page of the Pokédex, press (A) once more. This should cause the sprites to swap places.
6 -- Press (B) twice.
7 -- Marvel at your beautified Pokédex!
I'm timid about editing the page directly, but hopefully someone else will be able to use this information to decide what to do about that note.

== Shiny physiology section? ==

You know how there is a physiology section that describes each pokemons appearance, but it is only for the non-shiny version of that pokemon. Do you think that we should add a sub-section that describes the shiny for that pokemon?[[User:Luxraychu|Luxraychu]] 17:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

== Unobtainable Shinies ==

I was thinking that we could add a section to the page that lists all the Pokémon in each generation that can not be obtained in their shiny forms without cheating. For example, the only way to legitimately get an Arceus is through events (since the Azure Flute was never distibuted) and the event Arceus all had shiny checks so we could list Arceus under Gens 4 and 5. And if certain ones are only available shiny in certain games or under certain conditions we could put an asterisk that shows the info when you point to it.

What would be really good to have here is an explanation of what event pokemon can/can't be shiny and why, as there's a lot of confusion on the internet about this.

Can 2nd/3rd/4th gen distributions be shiny?

:::::: Anyone agree? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 01:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Well, if you can get a Shiny Mew and Celebi in Generation III, even if it's only in a Japanese game, you can trade it to a non-Japanese game in all games from Gen III onwards, so those don't need a note. I don't think Haley's Pokémon can be Shiny, and Shininess is visible in Ranch. For all Pokémon event distributions from Generation III onwards, a Pokémon is either always Shiny or never Shiny - it cannot randomly be either. In Generation II, where Shininess is based on IVs, I have heard that people found that each machine had a different set of IVs, meaning that they are preset. While it would be possible for a machine to distribute a Pokémon that is Shiny, I assume that they would ensure the machines do not distribute Shiny Pokémon. However, while Generation I used the same distribution method with each machine having set IVs, Shininess did not exist so it is possible that they could have unknowingly distributed future Shiny Pokémon.

==Is shiny Mew unobtainable in Gen II?==
Couldn't you get a legit Mew from a Gen I event that just so happened to pass the shiny checks and so appears shiny when transferred to a Gen II game? I doubt they would have had shiny checks on the Mews given out back then seeing as shiny pokemon didn't exist yet. I know that chances of this happening are extremely low but I don't think it zero. I'm not sure how many Mews in Gen I were given away but surely this happened at least once somewhere around the world.

:I'm pretty sure the Time Machine worked more like a trade. Besides, shininess is determined when a Pokémon is generated and a Pokémon transfered through Pal Park or the Poké Transfer don't change their shiny status so I don't think that Mew could change from normal to Shiny.

Pokémon Egg

2012-01-14T15:37:55Z

JacobCrystal: /* In the manga */

[[File:SugimoriEggs.png|right|thumb|235px|Eggs of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Elekid}}]]
A '''Pokémon egg''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのタマゴ''' ''Pokémon {{tt|tamago|egg}}'') is an object from which all Pokémon are known to hatch. An egg's shell will usually have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon developing inside, though in the games this is not the case (likely to save space on the game media).

Pokémon eggs are produced by {{pkmn|breeding}} two Pokémon of a compatible [[egg group]] and opposite gender together, and will contain by default the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]], where one of many [[Pokémon Day Care]]s are located, no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an egg, and so it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. No alternate explanation for their creation is offered, however, and most assume that the details are not gone into to keep the games appropriate for all audiences.

Some Pokémon, known as [[baby Pokémon]], are often only found by hatching them from an egg created by their evolved forms. Unlike other species {{egg|Undiscovered|which cannot breed}}, baby Pokémon evolve into species which can do so. A majority of [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed in captivity, and thus cannot produce eggs of themselves, however, a notable exception is made with {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}, which both produce Phione eggs if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

==In the games==
Pokémon eggs have appeared in all games where Pokémon breeding has been available, as a major plot point in their introduction in [[Generation II]]. They have also appeared in several side games.

===Mechanics===
[[File:Egg Gen II.png|frame|right|An egg's status screen in [[Generation II]]]]
Despite [[time]] being an introduced concept in Generation II, the amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its egg is instead determined by the amount of steps taken by the player when it is in the party.

The internal coding for an egg in the games is very similar to that of a Pokémon-- being that they are stored in the same places that a Pokémon is, this is to be expected. A Pokémon egg will be created knowing what species it will hatch into, with this species determining the value for the amount of steps left until the Pokémon hatches. The value is then stored in the same space that the [[happiness]] value, also introduced in Generation II, is stored for normal Pokémon. Unlike normal Pokémon, whose happiness gains a point for every 256 steps the player takes, an egg's "happiness" value, the [[egg cycle]] number, decreases for every 256 steps.

The amount of egg cycles that an egg has left determines what is displayed on its status screen. When an egg has more than 10 egg cycles remaining, it will display, "Wonder what's inside? It needs more time, though." When the egg's cycles have dipped below that, but are still above 5, it will display, "It moves around inside sometimes. It must be close to hatching." When the egg has less than 5 cycles remaining, it will display, "It's making sounds inside! It's going to hatch soon!"

===Generation II===
[[File:Gold Silver Beta Egg.png|thumb|An egg hatching in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|beta version of Gold and Silver]]]]
[[File:Stadium 2 Egg.png|thumb|An egg in Pokémon Stadium 2]]
Generation II introduced the system of egg creation and hatching that would continue, much unaltered, to the present. The first Pokémon egg obtainable by the {{player}} in the series was a [[key item]] given by [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} is to be delivered to [[Professor Elm]] in [[New Bark Town]]; he will then study it and have one of his aides return it to the player in the [[Violet City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

Elm's studies show that when a Pokémon egg is carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[party]] of lively Pokémon, it will eventually hatch. This is easily proven, as some time after the egg is given, if it is kept in the party, it will hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}.

Once the player reaches the Daycare on {{rt|34|Johto}} is where the game mechanics of breeding are truly introduced. Though unrevealed in the games (and only ever truly shown by {{g|Stadium 2}} and [[Pokédex 3D]]), Pokémon belong to one or two of fifteen [[egg group]]s, and those which share an egg group and are of opposite gender are capable of breeding. Pokémon without gender can be bred with a {{p|Ditto}}, as can any other Pokémon. Pokémon in the {{egg2|Undiscovered}} will not breed with any Pokémon, and will thus not produce any eggs.

Pokémon that hatch from an egg will come out at level 5, having whatever moves their species can learn by that level, any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves they are compatible with that were known by their father, and any [[egg move]]s their father passed down.

These are the only games in which an egg's status screen differs considerably from that of a normal Pokémon, as all later games use either a modified version of the Pokémon status screen of that game (as is the case in Generation III) or the same status screen minus some pages (as is the case in Generation IV and V).

====Eggs available====
Aside from eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following eggs can be obtained in Generation II:
*{{p|Togepi}}: From [[Mr. Pokémon]], initially classed as a [[key item]]. Received from [[Professor Elm]]'s aide in [[Violet City]].{{sup|GSC}}
*{{anchor|Odd Egg|Odd Egg}}{{sup|C}}: From the [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]], will hatch into a {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}}, or {{p|Magby}} that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. It has a 14% chance of being {{Shiny}} in international versions. In the Japanese version, it is available by trading in the [[Egg Ticket]] from the Day-Care Man at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] and has a 50% chance of being {{Shiny}}.

===Generation III===
Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change. If specific Pokémon are holding specific items, the baby Pokémon that hatch from their eggs will be different, new baby Pokémon introduced in this generation. These special [[incense]]s are specific to {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s evolutionary line, and when held by them, will cause the baby to be an {{p|Azurill}} or {{p|Wynaut}} instead. Presumably this is to keep breeding consistent: as the items did not exist in earlier generations, they could never be held, always resulting in the evolved form hatching.

All other mechanics present in Generation II are present in Generation III, including the system for hatching the eggs. Egg groups now have more members, but the groups themselves number the same as in Generation II, and no Pokémon have changed groups.
In {{game|Emerald}}, several more mechanics were added. A Pokémon's [[nature]] could be influenced through its mother holding an [[Everstone]] while in the Day-Care, while Pokémon with {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} would quicken the hatching process if in the party with eggs.

====Eggs available====
Aside from eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following eggs can be obtained in Generation III:
*{{p|Wynaut}}: From an old couple in [[Lavaridge Town]].{{sup|Ru}}{{sup|Sa}}{{sup|E}}
*{{p|Togepi}}: From an old man in the [[Water Labyrinth]].{{sup|FR}}{{sup|LG}}

===Generation IV===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Manaphy egg in Ranch}}
Generation IV expanded on the mechanics found in Emerald, making them standard to the series, as well as added more baby Pokémon only obtainable through [[incense]] breeding. A new mechanic is that both parents can now pass down its nature to its offspring if one of them holds an Everstone. In addition to this, Pokémon eggs were altered to hatching at level 1, for better consistency with the games' early routes. This would have been possible in Generation III as well, but was not in Generation II due to a glitch in the programming that caused level 1 "[[Experience#Experience to level|Medium Slow]]" Pokémon to jump to level 100 instantly when leveled up.
A change in mechanics from Generation III causes the eggs to hatch slightly earlier, with the egg cycle number going down after 255, rather than 256, steps. The Manaphy Egg obtainable from Ranger games came with its own [[party]] and status screen sprites.

Trainers can use the Pokétch {{DL|Pokétch|Day-Care Checker}} app to check whether or not an egg has yet been produced, unlike in previous generations' games, where Trainers attempting to breed two Pokémon would need to stay near the Day-Care Center to make sure that they got an egg as soon as it was ready.

Eggs may also be tranferred to [[My Pokémon Ranch]], but they will not hatch as long as they are kept in the game. When 999 Pokémon are present in the ranch it will expand and jump to level 25, the maximum level. Once this level is reached [[Hayley]] will offer to trade any Pokémon egg for her Mew.

===Generation V===
Building on the mechanics introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Generation V adds the possibility of female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability to pass on their exclusive ability to its offspring, unless the father is a Ditto. No new baby Pokémon were introduced this generation. The Manaphy egg is found [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation V)|in the coding of Black and White]], implying it may be used in a future event.

====Eggs available====
Aside from eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following eggs can be obtained in Generation V:
*{{p|Larvesta}}: From a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} inside a building on {{rt|18|Unova}}.

===Side games===
[[File:Hey You Pikachu Togepi Egg.png|thumb|right|A Togepi egg]]
====Hey You, Pikachu!====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], a Togepi egg can be found and hatched while completing the Pokémon Picnic missions.

====Pokémon Snap====
The first eggs to appear in the games were, in actuality, slightly before Generation II, with eggs of the [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]] appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. These eggs could be hatched by interaction with the player through various means:

*{{p|Articuno}}: This egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] area. It is silver and has a crystalline form. It hatches with the aid of two dancing {{p|Jynx}}.
*{{p|Zapdos}}: This egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Tunnel|Tunnel]] area. It is yellow with a jagged electric pattern on it. It hatches with the aid of a {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*{{p|Moltres}}: This egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Volcano|Volcano]] area. It is white with a red flame design on it. It hatches when a [[Pester Ball]] or apple knocks it into the lava.

====Pokémon Puzzle Challenge====
[[File:Puzzle Challenge Eggs.png|thumb|right|Eggs available in Puzzle Challenge]]
Four eggs are available as unlockables in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]; over time they will hatch and the Pokémon inside are only playable in Marathon mode.
*{{p|Magby}} is available after hatching the Fire Egg
*{{p|Elekid}} is available after hatching the Lightning Egg
*{{p|Igglybuff}} is available after hatching the Normal Circle Egg
*{{p|Cleffa}} is available after hatching the Normal Star Egg

====Pokémon Breeder mini====
{{incomplete|section|image}}

Three eggs containing {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, are available for the player to choose between in [[Pokémon Breeder mini]]. However, these eggs have a generic appearance, rather than their individual designs present in other media.

====Pokémon Channel====
{{incomplete|section|images of other Eggs}}
In [[Pokémon Channel]], Pokémon eggs appear on the ''Eggzamination: Hatch Up!'' channel, where the player can guess which Pokémon is within an egg and will win money if correct on hatching, which can take anytime between 10 minutes to 24 hours. While some Pokémon hatch from plain white eggs, a number of eggs that have appeared in the anime are a main feature on the channel. Pokémon with eggs seen include {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Wooper}}, and {{p|Zubat}}.

====Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire====
[[File:Pinball RS Egg.png|thumb|right|Pinball RS Eggs]]
Eggs can be hatched while playing in Egg Mode in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. While playing on the [[Ruby Field]] hit {{p|Cyndaquil}} into the egg stand three times to start heating the egg. Hitting it once more will make the egg hatch. Afterwards, sending the ball into the egg stand again will lead to {{p|Aerodactyl}} or {{p|Totodile}} replacing the egg. While playing on the [[Sapphire Field]], send the ball through the Egg Stand to turn on one of the lights. This only works by sending the ball up the lower Egg Loop and not through Spoink launching the ball. Once all four lights are lit, the egg will hatch the next time the ball is sent through the egg stand. Aftwerwards, sending the ball through the egg stand once more makes a new egg appear and the process starts over. After an egg has been hatched it must be caught by hitting it twice with the [[Poké Ball]] in less than a minute, otherwise it will go back into the Egg Stand.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon====
{{incomplete|section|Manaphy egg sprite}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the {{player}} can earn eggs as a reward for missions with a reward listed as ???. Only one egg can be kept at a time, and will be sent to [[Treasure Town#Chansey's Hut|Chansey]]. The egg will hatch after a random number of missions, at which point the hatched Pokémon will join the player's team and know [[egg move]]s. A [[Wonder Egg]] can be found at the end of the [[Surrounded Sea]], which will hatch into {{p|Manaphy}} the next morning.

====Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version====
In [[Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version]], a {{p|Victini}} egg acts as the equivalent of a king piece in chess. The egg can take three hits before it hatches, and Victini can take one before fainting. If this Victini faints, the controlling player loses. The egg can still be moved even while unhatched.

==In the anime==
[[File:Breeding house eggs.png|thumb|220px|A [[breeding house]] in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], full of different Pokémon eggs]]
The anime was where Pokémon eggs made their debut, with {{Ash}}'s find of an egg in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' predating Pokémon Snap by nearly a year. The egg was kept safe by {{an|Brock}}, but unlike later episodes, was not kept in its own case.

Later eggs have all been shown to be kept in a [[egg case|case]], which includes a [[Poké Ball]] for the baby to be put into on hatching. Aside from Togepi's egg, which hatched like an egg would in the real world, later eggs are shown to flash white before hatching, then to glow white and transform into the Pokémon they contain.

In the episode ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon are able to see the world outside of their eggs. More than that, Pokémon have been seen interacting from inside their eggs: Manaphy had used {{m|Heart Swap}} on Team Rocket before it even hatched (it was also implied that it was the one who gave May the dream involving [[Samiya|the Sea Temple]]).

===Pokémon hatched from eggs===
; [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]]
: This egg was white with blue and red triangular spots. It was found by {{Ash}} deep in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It was taken care of by {{an|Brock}} and, for a short period, by {{MTR}}. It hatched into a {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''. Since {{an|Misty}} was the first person it saw, the baby Pokémon thought she was its mother, and thus became hers.
; [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]]
: This egg was light blue with no designs. It was given to {{Ash}} as a prize for winning a race in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]''. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a {{p|Phanpy}} in ''[[EP230|Hatching a Plan!]]''.
; [[Ash's Larvitar]]
: This egg was jade green with no designs. It was given to {{Ash}} in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''. It hatched into a {{p|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can!]]''.
; [[Misty's Azurill]]
: This egg was never seen. It was the offspring of [[Tracey's Marill]], and then {{Tracey}} gave it to {{an|Misty}} as mentioned in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team!]]'', when Azurill itself first appeared.
[[File:Eevee hatches.gif|right|thumb|[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]] hatching from its egg]]
; [[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]
: This egg was brown with a cream-colored zigzag stripe around its middle. It was given to {{an|May}} by a day-care worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. She took care of it herself, and it hatched into an {{p|Eevee}} in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.
; {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}}
: This egg was translucent blue with a red, yolk-like sphere and a ring of yellow dots inside of it. It was primary to the plot of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. During the movie, while everyone was trying to protect the egg, the center began to glow. When {{an|May}} caught it after being tossed into the air it began to hatch into a {{p|Manaphy}}.
; [[Brock's Chansey|Brock's Happiny]]
: This egg was light pink with a white stripe around the center and a red top. It was won by {{an|Brock}} in a [[Pokémon cosplay|Cosplay]] Convention in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]''. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a {{p|Happiny}} with the help of [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''.
; [[Dawn's Quilava|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]
: {{an|Dawn}}'s egg obtained in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' hatched into a baby Cyndaquil later in the episode. The egg was mostly green, with a cream colored bottom and three red spots near the bottom.
; [[Ash's Scraggy]]
: Ash's egg obtained in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' hatched into a baby {{p|Scraggy}} in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]''. The egg is similar to the ones seen in the games. However, it retains Scraggy's color scheme, being tan with brown spots.

===Other Pokémon eggs in the anime===
[[File:Pokemon eggs.png|200px|thumb|Some eggs in a cart]]
* ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Several "dummy" eggs were used in the race. A large number of the egg varieties seen, both real and dummy, are unique to this episode. Some of the designs seen are similar to {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Starmie}}, and {{p|Heracross}}.
* ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'': This episode showed a home where baby {{p|Mudkip}} were bred, and even showed one hatching and spraying May in the face. These eggs were small and blue with orange spots.
* ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'': An entire breeding house full of eggs appeared in this episode. Primarily, it featured an Egg of a {{p|Vulpix}} which was about to hatch, which was two shades of red with a design of curls separating the top from the bottom, reflecting the design of Vulpix's tails. Many other eggs appeared in the breeding house. Based on the design, some of the other eggs were identified as {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Wooper}}. A few of the designs were more difficult to distinguish than others.
* ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'': {{p|Psyduck}} eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Psyduck were blocking the road. These eggs were yellow with patterns that looked like Psyduck feet.

==In the manga==
[[File:GB16.png|thumb|A Pichu egg in the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
* In ''[[PS013|Sigh for Psyduck]]'' a photograph of [[Mr. Fuji]]'s deceased {{p|Doduo}} is shown hatching from an egg.
* {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]] produce an egg that later hatches into {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Pichu|Gold's Pichu}}.
* {{adv|Gold}} receives an egg from [[Jasmine]]'s Togetic, which eventually hatched into a Togepi.

===Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys===
* {{GnB|Gold}} receives a Pokémon egg from the [[Day-Care Couple]] in ''[[GB10|A Huge Mysterious Tree!!]]'', and it hatches into Pichu in ''[[GB16|The New Pokémon Is Hatched!!]]''.
* Chris hatches a {{p|Togepi}} from an egg that {{GnB|Gold}} delivered to [[Professor Elm]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
* [[Isamu Akai]] hatches a Togepi egg in {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|6}}

==In the TCG==
* [[_____'s Chansey (Challenge from the Darkness)|_____'s Chansey]]: Depicts a {{p|Chansey}} hatching from an egg, as well as many other generic eggs in the background.
* [[Fossil Egg (Neo Discovery 72)|Fossil Egg]]: Used to hatch into any Pokémon that evolves from [[Mysterious Fossil (Fossil 62)|Mysterious Fossil]].

==Trivia==
* The eggs of {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} are the only eggs whose designs depict those of the Pokémon's {{p|Electabuzz|evolved}} {{p|Magmar|form}}, rather than the Pokémon it directly hatches into.
* No Pokémon that was hatched from an egg in the anime has evolved twice, either because their evolutionary line prohibits it ({{AP|Phanpy}}, {{TP|May|Eevee}} and {{AP|Scraggy}}), their evolutionary line went no further than one evolution at the time of their release ({{TP|Misty|Togepi}}), the Pokémon's Trainer is no longer part of the main cast ({{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}), or simply because, as of this point, the Pokémon who ''can'' go on to evolve twice have not even undergone one evolutionary event yet ({{AP|Larvitar}}).
* Aside from {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}}, which is {{pkmn2|legendary}}, no anime Pokémon that has been seen hatching from an egg is a Pokémon that is unable to evolve.
* In the anime, with the exception of [[Ash's Scraggy]], each egg owned by a main character and shown onscreen has been stolen from the rightful owner prior to its hatching. The usual perpetrator is [[Team Rocket]], but there have been others.
** Misty's Togepi egg was stolen by Team Rocket, though it wasn't hers at the time.
** Ash's Phanpy egg was also stolen by Team Rocket.
** Ash's Larvitar egg was stolen by [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers|three poachers]] prior to Ash obtaining it.
** May's Eevee egg was first taken by accident by a disoriented {{p|Elekid}}. It was then found by Team Rocket and they planned to not return it to May. However, James willingly gives it to her in exchange for his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} which she had found.
** Manaphy's egg was taken by [[The Phantom]], then rescued by [[Jack Walker]]. Then Team Rocket takes it from him briefly before Phantom attempts to get it back.
**Brock's Happiny egg was stolen by Team Rocket. However, this was before it was given to him personally.
** Dawn's Cyndaquil egg was taken by Team Rocket and hatched when she got it back.
* Even though eggs are incapable of battling, they have [[base stats]] programmed into the game. Each stat is 10.
** Through [[Pomeg glitch|a glitch]] in {{game|Emerald}} and [[Generation IV]], eggs can actually battle in-game.
* In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there was a minor bug when Pokémon hatched from an egg in another game was traded to either game. When so is done, the "egg" that appears after the location where the egg hatched in the summary will change to "met" when traded to Ruby or Sapphire. This bug was fixed in {{game|Emerald}}.
* Another issue with traded eggs appears in all generations since Generation III: When an egg is generated, it is given the OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier of the game which created it. This can cause an egg which is traded to hatch {{Shiny}} and then be normally colored, or hatch normally colored, and then be Shiny. This is due to the change in OT, ID, and secret ID happening after the hatching cutscene.
** This issue is also present if a Pokémon is traded between the main and remake games of the third and fourth generations: the game identifier is ''never'' changed, meaning that an Azurill egg generated in Ruby, but then traded to FireRed and hatched will, though identifying itself as having FireRed's player as its OT, still be marked as having been generated in Ruby. When transferred via Pal Park to Generation IV, it will say that it is from Hoenn, rather than Kanto, as this is determined not by [[List of locations by index number (Generation III)|index number]] of the location hatched, but by game identifier. In Generation IV, this occurs between Sinnoh and Johto games when Pokémon are transferred forward to Generation V. It cannot occur between Kanto/Hoenn and Johto/Sinnoh games, however, as Pokémon eggs cannot be transferred via Pal Park.
