In-Depth Analysis
Pikachu's 320 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Speed (90) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 35 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Electric combination gives Pikachu 3 resistances and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
With a catch rate of 190, Pikachu is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
