Pimp my Pikachu
Hello everyone, I just got a new pikachu fresh from Pokemon Battle Revolution and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with EV training and so fourth.
Nature: Hardy Level: 10 Gender: Female Item: Light Ball Stats: HP: 27 Attack: 18 Defense: 13 Sp. Attack: 15 Sp. Defense: 14 Speed: 25 Moves: Volt Tackle Surf Open Moveslot Open Moveslot Any help is appreciated! Thanks! |
I'd play that game 123213 or however many times to get a Timid / Hasty / Naive Nature if I were you.
Those last 2 moveslots need Grass Knot and Hidden Power (Ice). |
It's quite pointless really, to have volt tackle and surf. volt tackle is now a physical attack, so lightball wouldn't work. surf is nice but i don't see why anyone should go through the trouble of trying to get surf when it can easily learn grass knot with TM.
unless you use agility you want a nature that boosts its speed, since it needs to outspeed as many pokemon as it can. -substitute/encore/agility -nasty plot/agility -grass knot -tbolt substitute helps set up nasty plot/agility nicely. substitute also helps it survive a dugtrio if it's put in the turn you sub up. |
sure tell me when ok? ill be on later

Light Ball Boosts Pikachu's Physical Attack in D/P Now. I've experimented with it.

Yikes, I got lost at the Physical and Special Attack. Can someone explain how that works?
|
Surf is a great move for a Pikachu to have. What can be hurt with Grass Knot can be hurt with Surf

For example, Volt Tackle is a physical move, therefore it relies on pikachu's attack stat. Thunderbolt and grassknot are special moves and rely on pikachu's special attack stat. This is only introduced in D/P. In the past, physical and special depend on the moves' elements(for example water, fire were special and fighting, ground were physical), but not anymore. |

1. Volt Tackle being physical, as mentioned earlier 2. Surf is not better than Grassknot which is easily obtaineable through TM 3. Nasty Plot, one of the best moves around imho, can only be learned as pichu in D/P |
he's basically saying it can't have surf if it has volt tackle/nasty plot.
Pikachu @ Light Ball Hasty/Naive Nature 212 SPD/192 SP ATK/104 ATK -Thunderbolt -Brick Break/Focus Punch -Surf -Substitute the evolved version of this @ Expert Belt is better btw. why that so? though Pikachu's base sp atk and atk become 100, it doesn't get any other boosts other than STAB. Raichu, on the other hand, naturally has 90 base atk and sp atk. Expert Belt gives it an extra punch, boosting the attack damage by 20%, which results in a stronger hit. also, raichu has better speed and better OVERALL stats. it's at liberty to take in some hits if it must. Raichu @ Expert Belt *same* *same* *same* |

well i'd personally go for surf. grass knot works just fine tho. mine actually is used as a special sweeper with Thunderbolt/Focus Blast/Grass Knot. from my esperience of battling with Raichu, grass knot rarely comes in handly, unlike focus blast.

Raichu Item: Expert Belt (Where do I get that?) Hasty/Niave Surf/Grass Knot Brick Break Thunderbolt Brick Break/Focus Blast |
you don't want to give it naive. it has 80 base sp defense, so it definitely has potential to absorb a thunderbolt or ice beam or shadow ball, etc.
