What level do you think Ash's Pikachu is?

[Detoxified]

I've always wondered this. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Lv. 100.

 

[Guillermo]

Level 1000000. I mean if it can take down a Rhydon, then I am sure Pikachu is on steroids or some case. But in real life it would easily be level 100. Since Pikachu beat LT.Surge in the 1st season it has been level 100 basically:)

 

[.Eevee-Chan]

Probably in the 50's or something.I mean why does it lose to some weak pokemon,like Roark's Onix or Buizel.

 

[sirboulevard]

I think it's Level 100 but with poor Defense and Sp.Def. IVs but super-high Sp.Attack and Speed ones. Maybe if Ash EV trained he wouldn't lose so much with Pikachu?

Nothing. Anime =/= Games
Its how you train and work with your pokemon.

 

[Sir Matt]

I'd say 70-80. Obviously if it was lv.100 it would KO pokemon a lot more.
But it is possible it's on steroids....lol

QFT

Anyway, they only mentioned levels once on the show and it was in episode 9. But I think it would be use for rankings or something.

 

[Spinor]

Lv. 42. If it can take down Ground Pokemon, Pikachu really steals the meaning of Life :P. That's the level now, and it will forever be that way.

If it's not. Then I'll eat my shorts and go with the concept that there is no level in the anime.

 

[Led Zeppelin Pwn]

level 66, why?
It pwns epically.

 

[Mitchman]

Acually it has no level. All it has is skills. Pure pawnage skills t6hat is.

 

[Arumus]

Well Ash's Pikachu in Pokémon Gold & Silver was around level 60. So I'll stick with that.

 

[Barney.]

Around 80-90, I mean its been with him since the start and can take down a ground poke he must be around that level.

 

[Zathura]

Pikachu knows iron tail, OF COURSE he can take down a rock/ground pokemon.

 

[Shen]

Aim for the horn!
Or something to that effect.

 

[Master Jecht]

When hes in the pokemon league it is lvl 100. When he enters a new region, pikachu resets to lvl 50.

 

[Singhy]

Hehe Umm since levels don't exist really on the show I dunno... but if I had to give it a number I would say 87... not sure why but it makes sense.

 

[machomuu]

I dunno his level, he powers up, then down and it repeats on, and on, and on.

Pikachu doesn't have a level in the show, since unlike in the games, it's been sort of said it takes a whole lot more to train a Pokemon level-wise in (what would be considered I guess) real life. Think about it: you wouldn't just gain a level by having your Pikachu fight a handful of Caterpie in the woods if Pokemon existed. It'd take time, effort, and training. So either there are no levels specifically at all in the anime, or it just takes a whole lot longer to level up.

That's not entirely true, in pokemon special, the pokemon have levels, and that is the most accurate resource (since you really can't count on the game for that).

EDIT: Although I like the way they train in the show more, no levels, no limit.

EDIT 2: Not to mention this is the tv thread, so no, they don't have levels.

Logically in the thousands, but technically (restricted to lv.100), Pikachu would be at lv.100 and for quite some time.

Pikachu has never stopped "growing stronger" as the narrator always says, it continues to do impossible things and gain countless experiences, it has to be in the thousands logically.
