NPC Advantages: no requirements. arboliva (seed sower), gardevoir (life dew), arcanine (flamethrower burn), sylveon (moonblast), toxapex (chilling water), and other intimidators (tauros, staraptor) help. bellibolt is harmful because it can activate lightning rod with discharge, which will raise pikachu's spatk one stage.
Strategy: knock off, 2x giga drain, terastalize, 3x swords dance, giga drain if HP gets low, drum beating to victory.
Notes: without NPC arboliva, it may be preferable to use grassy surge as the ability, so that it gives a healing boost during setup. giga drain can be replaced with snarl, bulk up, or sunny day.
Pros: supereffective tera type matching base type, excellent HP and atk stats, good def stat, outspeeds pikachu, resists thunder and surf, knock off removes pikachu's light ball, halving its atk and spatk. giga drain heals slightly while charging tera orb, swords dance buffs 2 atk stages. drum beating has 80 base power, 100 accuracy, deals supereffective STAB (tera-boosted when terastalized) damage. covert cloak prevents paralysis from thunder (normally 21% chance, 30% in rain) and def drops from iron tail (normally 15% chance). overgrow gives 1.5x boost to grass attacks when HP is below 33%.
Cons: mediocre spdef stat, atrocious spatk stat
Overall Rating: 9/10
