Pikachu is easy to KO by all but the most passive of Pokémon and its frailty rends its otherwise decent Base 90 Speed moot. Base 35 HP is dire, being the same as Dugtrio who looks like an immoveable wall compared to Pikachu thanks to Pikachu having 30 Defense and 40 Special Defense. What holds Pikachu back is its horrid base stats. And Pikachu definitely has the movepool to abuse it, with wide coverage and a support movepool that ensures Raichu has seen VGC success. Yes, Light Ball is an insane item, pushing Pikachu’s offenses to some of the highest in Pokémon. However none of this translates to competitive viability. Known the world over for its cute appearance, Pikachu has been the face of the franchise and has received numerous pieces of support as a result. When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity can build and cause lightning storms. When it is angered, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks.
