Generations II and III
If held by a Pikachu, doubles its Special Attack.
Generation IV onward
If held by a Pikachu, doubles both its Attack and Special Attack.
Outside of battle
If held by either parent of a Pichu when the Egg is produced, the Pichu that hatches will know the move Volt Tackle. From Generation VI onward, if a Pichu knows Volt Tackle this way (and was bred in Generation VI onward), it can be taught Volt Tackle again at the Move Reminder if it forgets the move.

Pokémon: Magikarp Jump
In Pokémon: Magikarp Jump, Light Ball is a Friendship Item that is received as a reward after beating the Friend League. It summons Pikachu as a helper Pokémon.
Trivia
- Because Pikachu cannot be found in the wild in Unova, Thief and similar moves no longer permanently steal items held by Trainers' Pokémon from Generation V onward, and Poké Transfer does not transfer held items, the Light Ball cannot be obtained in Generation V outside of events.
