In [[SM137]], Ash used Pikachu in his Manalo Conference semifinal battle against Guzma, where he went up against Golisopod after Torracat was defeated. When Pikachu managed to avoid Golisopod's Poison Jab and his Iron Tail got blocked by Liquidation, he suffered damage from Golisopod's Throat Chop. Despite the hit, Pikachu managed to hang in there and used Electroweb to block Golisopod's Pin Missile. He used Thunderbolt, but Golisopod was able to block the attack. While it was distracted, Pikachu used Iron Tail on Golisopod's feet to send it flying, then used another Thunderbolt to strike back. Still has a chance, Pikachu goes to execute Gigavolt Havoc, but just like Corkscrew Crash, Golisopod was able to endure it. Going for broke now, Pikachu uses Quick Attack to avoid Golisopod's Pin Missile, followed by Iron Tail, which gets blocked by Liquidation. Pikachu uses Electroweb, but Golisopod uses its claw to blow it away, then uses Poison Jab, but Pikachu avoided it soon after. After another Iron Tail and Liquidation clash, Pikachu was left standing and Golisopod got defeated, allowing Ash to advance to the finals. | In [[SM137]], Ash used Pikachu in his Manalo Conference semifinal battle against Guzma, where he went up against Golisopod after Torracat was defeated.

In [[SM138]], Ash used Pikachu to finish off [[Gladion's Silvally]] (which had already taken a beating from its battle with [[Ash's Melmetal]]) in the finals of the Manalo Conference by bouncing off an Electroweb to gain momentum and knock it out with an Iron Tail. | |||

* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}. | * Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him.

** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (Pikachu was shown when the narrator said that males had to carry packages), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty. | ** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu.
