In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} after {{AP|Tranquill}} was recalled. While Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were evaded, he was eventually able to intercept Unfezant's Aerial Ace attack with his Iron Tail. Pikachu then launched an Electro Ball and defeated Unfezant. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{p|Swanna}}. Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were blocked by Swanna's {{m|Aqua Ring}}, defending against the type advantage Pikachu held over it. However, using the hoops that Skyla had used in her pre-battle show, Pikachu was able to jump with Quick Attack to hit Swanna. Eventually, Swanna was able to hit Pikachu with a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and a brutal {{m|Brave Bird}}, after which Ash deemed Pikachu unable to battle, although he tried to continue.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]] and her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. Using its extendable arms, Garbodor tried to use {{m|DoubleSlap}} on Pikachu, but the Electric Mouse Pokémon was too fast for the Trash Heap Pokémon, and trying to reach him with all his dodging only caused Garbodor's arms to accidentally get tied together, allowing Pikachu to land a hit with Quick Attack. Garbodor tried to use its tied-up arms as a whip, but Pikachu was easily able to dodge them every time and strike back with a Thunderbolt. When Pikachu tried to use Iron Tail, Garbodor swung its arms upwards, repelling Pikachu and untying the arms. After several misses with {{m|Gunk Shot}}, Garbodor grabbed Pikachu, swung him up high and hit him repeatedly with DoubleSlap while falling. After this, Garbodor fired another Gunk Shot, this time hitting and also {{status|poison}}ing Pikachu. Ash was getting discouraged, but thanks to the encouraging words from Iris and Cilan, he and Pikachu decided to keep on going, despite the poison. To Ash's luck, all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu made with Garbodor, had caused Pikachu's Static Ability to activate and paralyze Garbodor. Despite still being able to withstand a Thunderbolt, the Trash Heap Pokémon was unable to take a hit from the following Electro Ball, and was knocked out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the [[Unova League]]. After the battle, Roxie admitted her defeat, and gave Pikachu a [[Pecha Berry]] to cure him from the poisoning.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Dawn's Quilava]] in a friendly battle before Dawn left Unova for Johto. He was hit by a {{m|Swift}} attack before missing with Quick Attack, though he managed to dodge Quilava's {{m|Flame Wheel}}. Pikachu attempted both Electro Ball and Iron Tail, both of which were stopped by his opponent's {{m|Flamethrower}}. After their Quick Attack and Flame Wheel clashed in mid-air, [[Cynthia]] stopped the match.
