In ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', Ash sent out Pikachu to battle Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Both Pokémon proved to be equal in speed by constantly dodging each other's attacks. Finally Ash decided to let Pikachu take a {{m|Thunder Wave}} from Magnemite so Magnemite could get hit by a Thunderbolt, causing a lot of damage. After dodging another attack from Magnemite, Pikachu finished it off with a Quick Attack, crashing it into a wall. Next Pikachu faced off against Jasmine strongest Pokémon {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Due to his previous battle against Magnemite, Pikachu was tired and was quickly defeated by a powerful Iron Tail.

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In the following episode, ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who already had defeated Ash's Cyndaquil. Due to the icy field Pikachu constantly slipped causing his Agility to be ineffective and almost unable to avoid Piloswine's attacks. Ash then got the idea to use the ice pillars to change Pikachu's direction while sliding on the ice. Using this tactic Pikachu gained a big amount of speed and slid under Piloswine giving him the opportunity to hit Piloswine hard with Thunder. Piloswine then started to use {{m|Rest}} in order to return to full health. Pikachu tried to finish it off with a Quick Attack, but was too late and got hit hard by a {{m|Take Down}}. Pikachu was still able to battle and countered Piloswine's next Take Down with a Quick Attack and hit it with Thunder. This caused the ice under Piloswine to break causing Piloswine to fall into the water. Pikachu then hit Piloswine with Thunderbolt which caused massive damage due to Piloswine's wet fur. Despite this Piloswine was still standing and constantly hit Pikachu with Fury Attack. Seeing no other option to escape Pikachu used a close-range Thunder causing a massive explosion. Pikachu got knocked down while Piloswine still seemed to be able to battle. Pikachu still managed to stand up and as he was about to attack again [[Pryce]] threw in the towel resulting into a T.K.O., giving Ash the win and earning him the Glacier Badge

In ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', Pikachu helped calming down the rampaging Dragonite that belonged to the old Blackthorn Gym Leader. In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's last Johto Gym Battle against [[Clair]]'s {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite the double type advantage Gyarados proved to be quite a match for Pikachu, using its {{m|Dragon Breath}} to block Pikachu's electric attacks. After getting hit by a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, Pikachu got wrapped by Gyarados. This however allowed Pikachu to hit Gyarados hard with a Thunderbolt. Gyarados quickly managed to recover and launched a barrage of {{m|Bite}} attacks, causing Pikachu to get cornered. As Clair was ready to finish the battle with a close-range Hydro Pump, Ash had Pikachu use Agility to get onto Gyarados's Hydro Pump, and defeated the Atrocious Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her Dragonair to battle Pikachu, who managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knock him out with a point-blank {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

After saying farewell to {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash decided to only take Pikachu with him to [[Hoenn]] and left Pallet Town with him at the end of the episode. In the [[EP274|the following episode]], while getting ready to depart for Hoenn by ship, Ash and Pikachu got attacked by Team Rocket, who used an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to it and drain his electricity. Eventually Pikachu got saved thanks to the help of some wild Pokémon and Officer Jenny.

In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in his gym battle against [[Winona]]. Pikachu battled against Winona's Pelipper and despite the major type-advantage, Pelipper proved to be a formidable opponent, being able to use Steel Wing as a lightningrod to conduct electric attacks to the ground, thus preventing damage. After getting hit by a Quick Attack, Ash decided Pikachu had to fight close-range had Pikachu use Quick Attack to get closer. This however gave Pelipper the opportunity to hit Pikachu hard with a {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Pikachu however stood his ground and when Pelipper lifted his wing from the ground for a moment Ash had Pikachu use Thunder on Pelipper. With both Pokémon being hit by powerful attacks, Pikachu and Pelipper both were knocked out.

Solrock  and Lunatone both started off using Tackle which both scored a direct hit on Pikachu and Swellow. Pikachu and Swellow then tried hitting their opponents with Quick Attack and Peck, but their attack were dodged, causing them to crash into planets hanging from the ceiling and fall on top of each other on the ground. This gave Solrock and Lunatone the opportunity to launch a Solar Beam and Ice Beam. As the attacks were about to hit their marks the two beams accidentally collided, cancelling each other out, causing the twins to quarrel. Ash used this chance to recover and had Pikachu and Swellow strike the opposing Pokémon with a respective Iron Tail and Aerial Ace. Both Meteorite Pokémon then both charged towards Pikachu using Tackle, but Swellow was able to save Pikachu in time, causing Solrock and Lunatone to crash into each other. The battle then got interrupted by Team Rocket, who destroyed the gym using their mecha and stole Solrock and Lunatone.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', an arrogant Electric-type trainer named [[Sho]] wished Ash to trade Pikachu to him, as he already had a {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}} and wanted to have the full evolution line in his team.
