* Very often, Pokémon will be affected by [[move]]s they would be immune to, due to their type, according to the games. This is shown many times when [[Ash's Pikachu]] fights a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it uses an {{type2|Electric}} move and it works well. | * Very often, Pokémon will be affected by [[move]]s they would be immune to, due to their type, according to the games.

** {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon (such as [[EP005|Brock's Onix]] and [[AG016|Roxanne's Geodude]]) and having no effect at all (such as [[Spell of the Unown|Lisa's Quagsire]], [[AG096|Rocky's Quagsire]] and [[The Rise of Darkrai|Maurice's Torterra]]). The anime's explanation for this is that ever since [[EP005|Pikachu received a power up]], it has enough power to override the immunity. However, no matter how much power it has, it shouldn't be able to affect Ground-types. | ** {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon (such as [[EP005|Brock's Onix]] and [[AG016|Roxanne's Geodude]]) and having no effect at all (such as [[Spell of the Unown|Lisa's Quagsire]], [[AG096|Rocky's Quagsire]] and [[The Rise of Darkrai|Maurice's Torterra]]).

** Most notably, in multiple instances, [[Hyper Beam]] and [[Giga Impact]] easily take out {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, despite they resist such moves. | |||
** Similarly, {{type2|Steel}} moves are weak against four common types in anime: {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Water}}, {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Steel}}, but moves such as [[Iron Tail]] or [[Steel Wing]] are still seen dealing lots of damage to Pokémon of such types, often dealing the final blow, while {{type2|Steel}} moves' ineffectiveness against such Pokémon is never mentioned. | |||
* In anime, some Pokémon's [[Abilities]] are shown, or even exaggerated, while some are overlooked or ignored. | |||
** Most notably, many Pokémon possess the ability [[Intimidate]], but this ability does not seem to have any effect in the anime. | |||
