In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]] and her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. Using its extendable arms, Garbodor tried to use {{m|DoubleSlap}} on Pikachu, but the Electric Mouse Pokémon was too fast for the Trash Heap Pokémon, and trying to reach him with all his dodging only caused Garbodor's arms to accidentally get tied together, allowing Pikachu to land a hit with Quick Attack. Garbodor tried to use its tied-up arms as a whip, but Pikachu was easily able to dodge them every time and strike back with a Thunderbolt. When Pikachu tried to use Iron Tail, Garbodor swung its arms upwards, repelling Pikachu and untying the arms. After several misses with {{m|Gunk Shot}}, Garbodor grabbed Pikachu, swung him up high and hit him repeatedly with DoubleSlap while falling. After this, Garbodor fired another Gunk Shot, this time hitting and also {{status|poison}}ing Pikachu. Ash was getting discouraged, but thanks to the encouraging words from Iris and Cilan, he and Pikachu decided to keep on going, despite the poison. To Ash's luck, all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu made with Garbodor, had caused Pikachu's Static Ability to activate and paralyze Garbodor. Despite still being able to withstand a Thunderbolt, the Trash Heap Pokémon was unable to take a hit from the following Electro Ball, and was knocked out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the [[Unova League]]. After the battle, Roxie admitted her defeat, and gave Pikachu a [[Pecha Berry]] to cure him from the poisoning.

[[File:BW093.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu battling Quilava]]
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 ''[[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}}. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[Form differences#Kami trio|Therian Forme]] Kami Trio, 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 Kami Trio 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.

[[File:Trip Serperior Wrap.png|thumb|left|250px|Pikachu struggling against Serperior]]
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.
