If U claim that Pikachus Battle with Leons Charizard is The Best Fight in The Pokemon Series, Why is it Number 2?

[@spooky_spedy]

Favourite: 1. against Leon's Charizard 2. against Tobias's Latios 3. against Tapu Koko 4. against Korrina's Mega Lucario 5 against Brandon's Regice 6. against Alain's and Steven's Metagross (Metagross Killer)+ Tyson's

[@mattiasolsson1523]

Pikachu vs Leon’s Charizard is the best battle ever, plus the animations was superb.

Watching Pikachu take down Lt Surge's Raichu was one of my favorites, especially after Pikachu refused to evolve.

[@TKnHappyNess]

Ash vs Sho in Diamond and Pearl is basically 2.0 of that fight where Pikachu and Raichu are even matched until the latter busts out Hyper Beam

Watching him break even with a better trained version of the same Raichu was also 🔥

[@icefire2104]

YO Pikachu finally got his own list

[@SoulKingKurosaki]

No better duo in pokemon history than Ash and Pikachu. Been through thick and thin, always had each other's backs and greatest of friends/tag duo ever

[@khmastercj8594]

Ash Ketchum is, without a doubt my favorite childhood protagonist since I was 4-5 years old. I’ll remember his journey for eternity.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Given how strong Ash's Pikachu has become in the Pokemon anime over the years, It should be at level 100 by now.

[@d.n.tranger1457]

It should have been over 9000

[@Light12187]

Calculating lvl in anime is tough cuz anime don't have exp candies.. plus if we consider the new feature of scarlett and violet game where player's pokemon can independently battle and gain exp then Ash's pikachu battle like that in every episode , not to mention he always use pikachu to blast off team rocket... plus pikachu gained alot of exp while battling gym leaders, side characters, evil organization, league opponents and some champions like Diantha .. and also all Legendaries they met during their journey,,, according to games they should gain alot of exp by battling Legendary,,but he also defeated some of them , so he gained alot of exp by that too ... in simple words its 🤯

[@evilvsgoodtrainer3824]

[@Kayroreeder]

I feel like Pikachu vs Raichu should be higher 🥺 that fight alone answers the question to why ash’s Pikachu is still, and forever will be, a Pikachu

[@kish45]

I am glad the original Pikachu vs Raichu is in the top 5.

[@garchompelago]

I will never forget Pikachu vs Raichu, Pikachu vs Dragonite, also the final Pikachu vs Charizard. Pikachu is overrated in the show but as an anime fight, those were amazing.

[@soumyadeepmukherjee]

Overrated? A tiny Pikachu beating those mons deserve the hype it gets.

I'm really gonna miss Ash's Pikachu. The little guy really did great in some of the best battles the show had

[@zay57]

It's really the end of an era! I know Ash is still only 10 but I've been used to him and Pikachu for my entire life I'm 25 and it's incredibly sad to be saying goodbye to them after all this time. This was literally my childhood, and teenage years, pokemon raised me when I was alone growing up. Too say it's the end is surreal like we're moving on to the next chapter in life, and so is Ash/Pikachu. I just can't believe the day has finally come. We're lucky to have lived through this era of Pokemon the last 25 years have been incredible and I thank The Pokemon Company for making my childhood bearable. So long Ash and Pikachu I'll always remember the good times you gave me! 🎉😢

[@alraj7495]

I was born in the year 2000, so I feel blessed to have grown up with this anime. 25 years and Ash is finally done with their journey. I will miss them!

i'm gonna say it, the last two should have been switched by that i mean number 1 and 2

[@mattiasolsson1523]

Same here. I prefer Pikachu battle Leon’s Charizard🏆

[@lohitsai12]

I love the Pikachu vs Dragonite fight. The thing is that in gen 1, Dragonite has the second highest stat coming below freakin Mewtwo. So, this dragonite was supposed to be the strongest adversary that Ash has ever faced if u don't count mewtwo. Pikachu remaining the last pokemon standing against such a foe was incredible at that time.

[@AdamEspersona]

My Personal Honorable Mentions: Vs. Steven Pikachu once again shows how effective he is as a Metagross Killer by shutting his ace down even while Mega Evolved. Vs. Cynthia The fact that Cynthia had to prioritize taking him down unequivocally proves how feared he’d be against her team. Vs. Tyson On top of another Metagross win, being matched move for move against Tyson’s Meowth led to a tense finish where it could’ve gone either way. Vs. Korrina’s Mega Lucario Pikachu makes history by becoming the first of Ash’s team to take down a Mega Evolution. Vs. Roxanne This Gym Battle led to Pikachu’s mastery of Iron Tail, which would become one of his strongest moves overall.

[@videos43334dhdjj774h]

[@lfgubrs]

Pikachu vs Brocks Onix should be on this list. It was the first big win in the series.

[@soumyadeepmukherjee]

That wasn't actually a win

[@lfgubrs]

Well Ash tends to get most of his gym badges in all ways besides winning fair and square

[@Theprophet3928]

Yall forgot Pikachu sweeping Wattson and Pikachu vs Eevee.

[@jamieowen1520]

These Moves were perfect for Ash's Pikachu: Electro Ball Thunderbolt Iron Tail Quick Attack I wish they didn't replace Electro Ball It's an awesome powerful move that it shouldn't been replace with other moves such as Electro web

[@mattiasolsson1523]

[@soumyadeepmukherjee]

They should have keep volt tackle not electro ball.

[@daniellee773]

Electroweb was pretty useful as it can be used for both offfense and defense. It is probably one of the reasons why ash became champion level

[@umergulmuhammad9756]

​@@soumyadeepmukherjee Electro Ball has many advantages than Volt Tackle Such as Volt Tackle causes recoil damage to Pikachu but Electro Ball doesn't Electro Ball has a more chance of hitting flying opponents than Electro Ball

[@umergulmuhammad9756]

​@@daniellee773 I still think Pikachu should have kept Electro Ball as his best move

[@krishnabluekakarotninjahat257]

Super very very great Amazing

[@subarnochakraborty8237]

The other trainers often underestimate what Ash's Pikachu's true identity is. It's not just another pikachu, rather it's so battle-hardened for so much of time on so many different locations that its endurance and battle IQ is through the roof. The bond with Ash enables it to improvise on the go even with difficult conditions mid battle like using the arena or to jump up using its tail. Also there's another thing, Ash's pikachu is incredibly dogged and rigid on its own basic instincts from the very beginning. Only in battles its true nature flashes in extremely difficult conditions.

I remember the first time when I got into Pokémon when ash and Pikachu came on that’s when I started to like the series. Obviously, I’m going to miss watching their adventure so much they were a part of my childhood. I remember when I was 10 years old, I dressed up as ash for Halloween and that was one of the fond memories. I’ve had obviously kids today I’m never going to know about Ash and Pikachu since they’re still watching Pokémon I’m hoping that even though their aventures are ending they’ll probably make a cameo. I will miss ash and Pikachu so much they were my childhood, and they always will be. 🥺😢💜
