Pokemon Competitive Singles in Gen 3 is full of creative players. Despite it's many shortcomings, Pikachu has an exclusive item called Light Ball that allows it to achieve an absurdly high special attack stat. This is an alluring concept that many Gen 3 players have experimented with.. to varying degrees of success. Is there potential for Pikachu in Competitive Gen 3? Perhaps.
This is insane.
Iron Mugulis and Iron Fellow know all about it. Old Money doesn't know a thing.
Only JimCool knows about the viability of Pikachu. All other sources of information are liars and are inaccurate.

Some will never figure out how to get Pikachu in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Pikachu Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Pikachu Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on RU-vid. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

@ispeakcockney 11 месяцев назад

@havierbardem820 Rampardos is bulkier than Pikachu. Faster with scarf. Hit harder with sheer force- boosted rock slide compared to thunderbolt. Also hit harder with head smash compared to volt tackle. Has good coverage in zen headbutt, superpower, earthquake and ice beam. Can pursuit-trap. Can reliably set up hazard with sash+head smash. The only good things that Pikachu has are speed and electric immunity. But why would anyone uses Pikachu when Raichu has everything similar but better? Pikachu gets completely outclassed by Raichu Edit: Pikachu is obviously trashier

Something that's always given me a level of respect for GF is that they actually made the mascot character of the Pokemon series usable in virtually every facet of the game without actually making it overpowered in any. Even in competitive it's always been almost good enough. Watching someone bust out Pikachu in a tournament is like watching a guy whip out Mario in a SSBM tournament, you know it's a bad idea but you can't help but cheer for them. Also this makes me want a video on the competitive history of Clamperl.

in gen 9 pikachu received the nice buffs of trailblaze (which lets it cover its low speed weakness) and tera-ice (which lets it hit almost everything that resists electric). unfortunately pikachu STILL is not good enough for OU. it could use a few minor stat buffs.

@reokado4783 11 месяцев назад

I used to run red's team competitively back when gen 7 ou was popular, scored consistently in the 1600s with it too. I didn't run light ball, but instead a focus sash, endeavor set with quick attack since extreme speed wasn't move-slot compatible with endeavor. Nuzzle for speed control, and usually volt switch to either save pikachu/raichu for ☠fodder or to hopefully get off another endeavor/nuzzle later in the game. I don't play competitive anymore, but if anyone wants to run a pikachu I can guarantee that this set will at least trade one for one each game.

@dan_loup 11 месяцев назад

I used to play with pikachu in a "water trap team". a threatening threatening water type or two, a pikachu with lightning rod and a miltank with sip sapper. Basically the water types are there to lure grass or electric attacks, just to switch to the appropriate mon and start the pain, which in the case of the rat included encoring it into repeating the mistake a few more times. Any decent player probably could see thru it, but it was pretty fun to wreck legendary spammers with it and get accused of hacking.
