How to unlock Pikachu
To add it to your League, complete its challenge — defeat 10,000 pokémon while it's raining — then weaken and catch it when it appears in your next run.
- Defeat 10,000 Pokémon while it's raining.
Goal: 10,000 - Catch it in your next run.
After the challenge is complete, Pikachu appears in a run. Weaken it and catch it — it only joins your League once it is caught.
"In a single run" goals must be met in one run; the others add up across all your runs. League-size goals count the partners you have caught.
Pikachu's moves
These are the four moves listed in Pikachu's League kit. You start a run with the first one; the other three are among the moves level-up cards can offer (partners can also be offered moves from their evolution line and from your League — see level-up cards).
| Move | Type | Category | Base power* | Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thunder Shock · starting move | Electric | Special | 40 | Bolt |
| Electro Ball | Electric | Special | — | Orb |
| Thunderbolt | Electric | Special | 90 | Chain |
| Thunder | Electric | Special | 110 | Strike from above |
* Base power is the main-series value the game starts from; in a run, damage scales with level, upgrades and vitamins. See level-up cards.
Pikachu's Ultimate
Pikachu has a signature Ultimate that changes as it evolves. Charge it by fighting, then press R to cast it.
Giga Thunder
The sky charges up: for 2.4 s lightning rains non-stop on nearby enemies, and at the end three enormous thunderclaps.
Wild Charge
You zigzag through the enemies wrapped in electricity and unleash an even longer storm.
Pikachu's evolution
It evolves into Raichu at level 42.
