Ash’s Pikachu has been a constant companion of the protagonist in the Pokémon anime series since its premiere in 1997. Despite being a pre-evolution form of Raichu, Ash’s Pikachu has defeated numerous opponents who are much stronger than it. This has led fans to wonder what exactly makes Ash’s Pikachu so special and overpowered.
One theory is that Ash’s Pikachu has always been powerful since the very beginning of the series. In the first episode, Ash’s Pikachu used a thunderbolt powerful enough to defeat an entire army of Spearow. This was surprising because, at the time, Ash’s Pikachu was at the same level as the Spearow. Professor Oak even mentioned that there was a “problem” with Pikachu before he gave it to Ash, though he never elaborated on what that meant. Some fans speculate that the problem referred to an excess of electrical generation, which is not necessarily a bad thing for a battling Pokémon.
Another theory suggests that Ash powered up Pikachu over time. In the second episode, Pikachu received treatment at a Pokémon center after the battle with Spearow. To regain its strength, a horde of Pikachu charged it with electricity. Once Ash’s Pikachu was back in fighting shape, it requested even more power, which was granted. Before defeating Team Rocket, Pikachu harnessed even more power through Misty’s pedal-powered bike light. This may have had a permanent effect on Pikachu, as even Team Rocket noted that Ash’s Pikachu is rare. Pikachu’s electrical prowess is again demonstrated in Episode 5, where it is seen overloading a hydroelectric power plant in preparation for a rematch with Rock-type gym leader Brock.
A third theory is that Pikachu is maxed out in terms of its stats. Pikachu and Ash have been together for a long time and are determined to become the greatest that the world has ever seen. They would surely work on maxing out stats like the IVs and EVs in the game. While it is unclear if the anime follows the same rules as the video games, there have been mentions of gaining levels in the anime, but there is no confirmation of whether or not there is a level cap similar to the games themselves.
Ultimately, it is clear that Ash’s Pikachu is a formidable Pokémon. Whether it is due to its innate power, being powered up by Ash, or having maxed out stats, Ash’s Pikachu is a fitting partner for the protagonist of the series.
