In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', when Ash couldn't choose who to use after {{AP|Palpitoad}} and {{AP|Snivy}} fainted, Pikachu got fed up and zapped him, Ash then chose to use Pikachu in his Gym Battle against [[Elesa]]. He went up against her powerful {{p|Emolga}}, who even though she knew {{m|Attract}}, Pikachu beat her with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}. Later, Pikachu battled Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}, who only knew {{m|Tackle}}, but was still very strong. Yet Pikachu was able to beat Tynamo with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} attack, winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}. | In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', when Ash couldn't choose who to use after {{AP|Palpitoad}} and {{AP|Snivy}} fainted, Pikachu got fed up and zapped him, Ash then chose to use Pikachu in his Gym Battle against [[Elesa]].

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. Stunfisk used his amazing jumping ability to get them both into the air so that they could launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}}—{{m|ThunderShock}} combination at the two legendary Pokémon. However, Pikachu was knocked off Stunfisk's back and his partner was then struck by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Later in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends!

He used Thunderbolt on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, joined by {{AP|Roggenrola}}, Iris's Axew and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break. | ||
In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} after {{AP|Tranquill}} was recalled. While Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were evaded, he was eventually able to intercept Unfezant's Aerial Ace attack with his Iron Tail. Pikachu then launched an Electro Ball and defeated Unfezant. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{p|Swanna}}. Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were blocked by Swanna's {{m|Aqua Ring}}, defending against the type advantage Pikachu held over it. However, using the hoops that Skyla had used in her pre-battle show, Pikachu was able to jump with Quick Attack to hit Swanna. Eventually, Swanna was able to hit Pikachu with a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and a brutal {{m|Brave Bird}}, after which Ash deemed Pikachu unable to battle, although he tried to continue. | In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} after {{AP|Tranquill}} was recalled.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Dawn's Quilava]] in a friendly battle before Dawn left Unova for Johto. He was hit by a {{m|Swift}} attack before missing with Quick Attack, though he managed to dodge Quilava's {{m|Flame Wheel}}. Pikachu attempted both Electro Ball and Iron Tail, both of which were stopped by his opponent's {{m|Flamethrower}}. After their Quick Attack and Flame Wheel clashed in mid-air, [[Cynthia]] stopped the match. | In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Dawn's Quilava]] in a friendly battle before Dawn left Unova for Johto.

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash battled {{an|Giovanni}} with Pikachu trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}, but was defeated by his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Giovanni successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. They made an attempt to reach Meloetta, but were sent flying by the attacks of [[Jessie's Woobat]] and [[James's Yamask]]. Luckily, they were safely caught mid-air and brought down by [[Ridley]]'s {{p|Golurk}}.

Luckily, they were safely caught mid-air and brought down by [[Ridley]]'s {{p|Golurk}}. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[Form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a {{m|Thunder}} attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta. However, the blast also caused Giovanni to get a straight view at the {{Key|V|Reveal Glass}}, causing its possessive powers to take over and corrupt his mind, sending the Forces of Nature on a mindless rampage in an attempt to ''destroy'' Unova rather than conquer it. The possession was broken when Jessie, James, and Meowth pushed Giovanni out of the enchanted ring, breaking the spell. As Giovanni realized that it would be impossible to control the legendary Pokémon without Meloetta, he ordered a full retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Even while aboard the Team Rocket helicopter, Jessie and James couldn't help at admiring Pikachu's incredible powers. When Meloetta later left with Ridley, Pikachu was saying goodbye to it, along with Ash, Cilan, Iris, Cynthia, Axew, and the heartbroken Oshawott. | ||
In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash chose to use Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip and his Serperior. Despite executing all his attacks perfectly, Serperior was able to dodge all of them with ease and knock Pikachu down with a powerful {{m|Dragon Tail}}. As the battle continued in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Serperior hit Pikachu with an {{m|Energy Ball}} and a barrage of Dragon Tails, before {{m|wrap}}ping Pikachu in a tight squeeze. With great effort, Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt, but it proved useless, as Serperior simply stuck his tail into the ground, conducting the electricity away. As Pikachu was struggling to catch a breath and his face was turning purple, Serperior prepared to finish him off. Luckily, with some quick thinking from Ash, Pikachu was released from Serperior's grip by an Iron Tail. Before Pikachu could attack, however, he was once again hit by a Dragon Tail. As Serperior prepared for the next strike, Ash got an idea to use two moves at once to match Serperior's power, and had Pikachu to use Electro Ball and Iron Tail simultaneously. The attack combination collided with Serperior's Dragon Tail, causing a big explosion. As the smoke cleared, Serperior was still up and Pikachu was lying down, but Pikachu had, in fact, survived the attack and knocked out Serperior. Pikachu jumped in joy of winning the battle for Ash and leaped to his arms as the defeated Serperior fell down to the ground, much to Trip's shock and surprise. | In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash chose to use Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip and his Serperior.
