Surfing Pikachu: Difference between revisions

Surf can be taught to a Pikachu in either the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Japanese]] or [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|international release]] of Pokémon Stadium. In the Japanese Stadium, Surf will be taught to Pikachu if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in their party. In the English version, the player is required to the clear the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with all Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak, not saving the game during the challenge (continues are permitted), and must ensure Pikachu participates in the final battle (the Pikachu can come from any [[Generation I]] game). This does not occur in the Japanese version of the game (this game is known as Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japanese). In all {{pkmn|Stadium series}} games, Pikachu has a unique animation where it jumps on a pink surfboard while using the move. In addition, all of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pikachu and Raichu in the series use Surf.
