In [[SM009]], Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside {{AP|Rowlet}}, he first fought a Yungoos and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Pikachu and Rowlet's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using Rowlet's {{m|Leafage}}, allowing Pikachu to knock Gumshoos out with Iron Tail, while Rowlet defeated Yungoos. Afterwards, Pikachu and Rowlet had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. This Gumshoos proved to be extremely powerful, being able to endure Pikachu's Thunderbolt and knock him to the ground, after which it defeated Rowlet. After his Electro Ball got redirected by Sand Attack, Pikachu was hit hard once again. Pikachu then used Gumshoos's Sand Attack against it by hiding in the sand while using Quick Attack, allowing him confuse and repeatedly attack Gumshoos before finishing it off with a Thunderbolt. This win earned Ash a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}}. | In [[SM009]], Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]].

Pikachu was used as Ash's final Pokémon in his battle against [[Hala]] during the Melemele Island grand trial in [[SM010]]. He faced Hala's {{p|Hariyama}}, who was able to block his attacks using its big hands and hit him afterwards. While repeatedly getting hit by Hariyama's {{m|Arm Thrust}}, Pikachu eventually managed to slip past Hariyama and strike it with Thunderbolt. Hariyama, however, was not fazed by this attack and proceeded to use {{m|Belly Drum}}, maximizing its Attack but also halving its health. Pikachu then used Quick Attack in an attempt to dodge Hariyama's Z-Move {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}, but was ultimately hit by the attack. After getting up, Pikachu circled around Hariyama using Quick Attack and managed to knock it off its feet using Iron Tail. Ash used this opportunity to have Pikachu perform {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, which sent Hariyama flying and knocked it out. Having cleared the Melemele Island grand trial, Ash was rewarded a new Electrium Z. | |||
