Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many other powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into an imperfect {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Upon mastering the move in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', it became one of Pikachu's most distinctive techniques, to the point of garnering [[Paul]]'s interest, up until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', where Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball. In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Pikachu learned {{m|Electroweb}} in place of Electro Ball, allowing him to not only trap opponents, but also use the move as a springboard to increase his mobility or as a shield to protect himself from damage. In addition to his repertoire of moves, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime, has an affinity for [[Z-Move]]s, and is capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. | Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks.

Although he is always ready for a battle and presumes that his Trainer will choose him, Pikachu can get annoyed and disappointed if Ash chooses a different Pokémon, like in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans]]'' or ''[[SM130|Battling Besties]]'', but he always agrees with Ash's decision in the end. Pikachu's dislike for going into his {{i|Poké Ball}} and Ash's respect for it extend even into situations where doing so would have been a beneficial choice, such as in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where Ash simply put his partner in his pocket instead of recalling him to protect him from the effect of a time reversal that had caused him to [[Devolution|devolve]]. | Although he is always ready for a battle and presumes that his Trainer will choose him, Pikachu can get annoyed and disappointed if Ash chooses a different Pokémon, like in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans]]'' or ''[[SM130|Battling Besties]]'', but he always agrees with Ash's decision in the end.

Pikachu gets worried for Ash if he was hurt like in [[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]] when he was falling down on the stairs, or something has happen to him like in [[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]] when he falls off from the water ride Pokémon, Sharpedo in the water. Pikachu tends to lick Ash either on his scratches in [[SM020|Partner Promises!]] or on his face in [[EP001|Pokemon - I Choose You!]]. | ||
