In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in battle numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an [[Electric (type)|Electric]] attack when Onix was drenched in water, despite Onix being naturally resistant to electricity. In ''[[EP015|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge|Lt. Surge's]] {{p|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a [[Thunder Stone]], and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed.

It has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gyms|Gym]] and [[Pokémon League|League]] matches. | In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in battle numerous times.
