* In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} is able to defeat [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} by aiming {{m|Thunderbolt|its electric attack}} at the Rhydon's horn, with it being stated that the horn acts as a lightning rod, apparently allowing Pikachu to overcome Rhydon's {{t|Ground|normal immunity}} to Electric attacks, ironically working exactly the opposite way that the later Lightning Rod Ability would.
