===Generation VII===
Pika Papow deals damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit. The base power of Pika Papow is dependent on the friendship of the user. The greater the user's friendship, the greater the base power.
\text{Base Power} = \dfrac{\text{Friendship}}{2.5}
The base power of Pika Papow varies between 1 (at the minimum friendship value of 0) and 102 (at the maximum friendship value of 255). The base power of Pika Papow is set to 1 if the formula outputs 0.
===Generation VIII===
Pika Papow cannot be selected in a battle.
==Learnset==
== Activating ==
Pika Papow acts as a fifth move that can only be used by shaking the game controller when prompted by an animated icon of Pikachu waving a Joy-Con. The move cannot be used by Nintendo Switch Lite or a Switch with the controllers attached as it requires shaking the Joy-Con.
== Trivia ==
*Pika Papow and Veevee Volley are the only two signature moves in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! that requires Friendship as their base power in order to activate. They are also very similar to Z-Moves, due to them being powerful attacks and require a Base Power to be used.
*Pika Papow along with the other Signature Moves of the Partner Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the only moves that can't be used in other games.
**They are also the only moves introduced in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! that haven't been used in the main series anime.
