Pikachu
Plan this partner in PokéBonk
This analysis describes the Pikachu League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.
Pikachu has a focused Electric kit with early Electro Ball access and later Thunderbolt/Thunder. Passive discharges add pressure, while the lightning Ultimate offers useful coverage without needing a special item combination.
Trade-off: Contact paralysis is a fallback; it does not make Pikachu a tank.
Passive: Static
Ultimate progression: Giga Thunder / Wild Charge
Curated kit: Thunder Shock (Lv. 1) · Electro Ball (Lv. 2) · Thunderbolt (Lv. 4) · Thunder (Lv. 7)
Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
League analysis and kit: v0.8.25, checked October 23, 2026. Individual unlock checklists and linked builds carry their own source dates.
