Appendix:HeartGold and SoulSilver walkthrough/Section 28: Difference between revisions

{{ga|Red}} starts off with his {{p|Pikachu}}, at a staggering level 88, it's the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an opposing Trainer ever.  Because of its {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are <b>doubled</b>, making it that much more of a threat.  Its {{m|Volt Tackle}} move is not pleasant, so you need to get rid of this electric mouse if you want any hope of defeating Red.  One bright side to its signature attack is that it takes 33% of the damage it dishes out in recoil damage. {{type2|Electric}}s only fear one thing — {{type2|Ground}} attacks, so let loose an {{m|Earthquake}} for a super-effective hit. Pikachu's {{stat|Defense}} is very bad though, so a good physical hit should also do well. {{t|Water}}- and {{type2|Flying}}s, beware! Because Pikachu has {{m|Iron Tail}}, it can deal heavy damage to opposing {{t|Rock}}/{{type2|Ground}} types, so it is a good idea to send a pure {{type2|Ground}} that can take a hit, and hit Pikachu super-effectively with a good move like {{m|Earthquake}}.
