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 {{I|Thunder Stone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." 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.

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]], and it has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', it, [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; it stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face. | Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike.
