Standard Equipment: None notable.
*Optional Equipment: Electrium Z ---> Pikashunium Z, Normalium Z, Steelium Z
Intelligence: Below Average normally, Gifted when it comes to battle, due to sheer experience (Is currently on his eighth region). Has improvised a ton of moves, and has even been effective when Ash was nowhere to be seen
Weaknesses: Ground-type moves are super effective against Pikachu, Electric-type moves have no effect against Ground-type Pokémon (most of the time) and Pokémon with the abilities of Lightning Rod/Volt Absorb/Motor Drive, Electric-type moves are not very effective against Grass/Electric/Dragon-type Pokémon, Pikachu cannot paralyze other Electric-types, and Pikachu has some moves that damage himself (e.g. Volt Tackle and Double Edge) | Z-Moves can only be used once per battle without outside help | His Blue Orb Absorbed form can cause Pikachu to blindly rage as well as severely drain stamina | Gigantamax can only be used in areas with Dynamax Energy
Feats:
*Blew up Triangle Rock.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Legitimate Moves===
(Moves that Pikachu can learn and has used)
*Thunderbolt: He jumps into the air and fires a large bolt of electricity at the opponent.
*Thunder: Pikachu has a lightning bolt drop down from above and strike it and its opponent.
*Iron Tail: Pikachu makes its tail as hard as iron and whacks the opponent with it.
*Electroweb: Pikachu creates an orange-yellow orb of electricity on its tail. It then flings the orb, which then transforms into a circular yellow electrical net that traps the opponent, preventing it from moving.
*Electro Ball: Pikachu creates a giant ball of electricity on its tail and lobs it at the opponent. It does more damage the slower the opponent is. When boosted by electrical absorption, it becomes gigantic, and can do this. Can be combined with Thunderbolt to increase its size and speed.
*Volt Tackle: Pikachu's signature move. He rams into the opponent while coated in electricity. This does major damage, but also does recoil damage to Pikachu.
*Quick Attack: Pikachu attempts to blitz the opponent with an incredibly fast tackling move.
*Agility: Pikachu amplifies his speed.
*Thunder Shock: A weaker version of Thunderbolt.
*Double Edge: Pikachu slams the opponent. This does major damage, but also does recoil damage to Pikachu.
*Gigavolt Havoc: A Z-Move. Pikachu makes the proper hand movements to activate its Z-Power, and gathers a large ball of electricity to launch. It's his most powerful attack.
*Breakneck Blitz: A Z-Move. Pikachu makes the proper hand movements to activate its Z-Power, and charges the opponent with a full-speed tackle.
*Corkscrew Crash: A Z-Move. Pikachu makes the proper hand movements to activate its Z-Power, and then jumps into the air and spins around rapidly, turning into a yellow drill that strikes the opponent with full force.
*10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt: A Z-Move, so far only seen once, when Ash’s Electrium-Z temporarily turned into Pikashium-Z. Pikachu jumps up in the air (after a small routine) and fires many powerful multicolored bolts of electricity at the target.
*G-Max Volt Crash: A G-Max move. Gigantamax Pikachu fires a bolt of yellow electricity into the clouds above it. Moments later, multiple bolts of lighting shaped like its tail strike down from the clouds onto the opponent.
*Max Strike: A Max move. Gigantamax Pikachu jumps into the air, creating yellow glowing cracks on the ground as it lands. The cracks spread towards the opponent, and as they reach them, a burst of yellow energy erupts from the ground underneath the opponent.
*Max Steelspike: A Max move. Gigantamax Pikachu's tail glows white. It then grabs its tail and slams it into the ground, creating a series of gray spikes that extend forward and strike the opponent.
===Illegitimate Moves===
(Moves Pikachu can't learn, but has used)
*Tackle: Pikachu tackles the opponent.
*Leer: Pikachu makes a face at the opponent (either silly or menacing), lowering defense.
===Fake Moves===
(Moves that don't even exist, but Pikachu has used)
*Shocking Tail: Pikachu whacks the opponent with electricity stored in its tail in a similar fashion to the move Slam.
*Thunder Rings: (Fan name) Pikachu uses Quick Attack and combines it with Thunderbolt, creating a large ring of electricity. Then Pikachu uses Iron Tail to divide the ring into three rings.
*Volt Tail: (Fan name) Pikachu combines Volt Tackle and Iron Tail to attack the opponent.
*Counter Shield: Pikachu uses Thunderbolt while spinning, releasing yellow sparks everywhere, disallowing movement for the opponent. It is a means of defending and attacking at the same time.
*Iron Tail + Electro Ball: Pikachu creates an Electro Ball, leaves it on its tail, and then uses Iron Tail, slamming both into the opponent, effectively giving it the damage of both.
*Thunder Armor: Pikachu uses Thunder on itself (or a partner as well), coating itself in electricity to increase the potency of physical attacks.
