However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Pikachu was controlled by Butch and Cassidy, which caused him to become evil and disobey Ash's commands. During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu [[AG097|was]] [[AG098|possessed]] by the {{Key|III|Red Orb}} and controlled by {{p|Groudon}}, nearly causing a disaster. 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 the destruction of a female character's [[bicycle|bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far, but did not happen to {{an|Iris}}, since she doesn't have a bike. Instead, Pikachu shocked Iris herself.
