Since Light Ball doubles both Pikachu's offensive stats, a mixed set is viable.

Thunderbolt is your main attacking move, but you may choose to run Volt Tackle instead. However, it is generally an inferior option, as the recoil will shorten Pikachu's already meager life span. Substitute is vital on Pikachu, and coincidentally has great synergy with Focus Punch, which is powerful enough to KO Chansey with Stealth Rock in play, and deals a hefty 58 - 69% to the standard Registeel. Since Registeel has no reliable recovery, it won't be in a position to wall anything after taking a Focus Punch to the face, especially if it has already taken prior damage.

If for some reason you don't want to take a chance with Focus Punch, then Brick Break is an alternative move. However, it's quite weak, and Focus Punch is generally the superior option, since you should have a Substitute up anyway. And hey - you're gutsy enough to be using Pikachu in the first place, so Focus Punch should be a piece of cake to pull off. Hidden Power Ice is for coverage against Grass-types. Alternatively, Grass Knot can be used to finish off Regirock after it is hit by Focus Punch and get a 2HKO on Steelix, who, due to his gigantic Defense, is not 2HKOed by Focus Punch.

The EVs on this set guarantee the OHKO on Chansey with Focus Punch if Stealth Rock is up, and a minimum of 74% to max HP/ 152 Def Bold Clefable. Speed is maxed out, and the rest is put into Special Attack for obvious reasons. If you decide to go with Brick Break, then a spread of 152 Atk / 104 SpA / 252 Spe with a Hasty nature is recommended to get a guaranteed 2HKO on Chansey, taking into account Leftovers recovery.

As with every other set, Pikachu appreciates entry hazard support, especially Spikes. When combined with Focus Punch and STAB Thunderbolt, its switch-ins will be taking large amounts of damage each time they enter the field.

Since this Pikachu set does very well against Chansey, Clefable, and Lanturn due to Focus Punch, Pursuit support is not required. Pikachu's best teammates in this case are those that can take advantage of a weakened or eliminated Chansey and Registeel. Special sweepers like Moltres and Espeon come to mind. If you are not using Grass Knot, then a powerful wallbreaker to remove Steelix is appreciated, such as Blaziken or Magmortar.

Pikachu's Special Attack reaches very high levels, so an all-out sweeper set is viable. This set focuses more on type coverage than causing switches, and gets good coverage on most threats in UU and NU alike. Thunderbolt will be your main sweeping move, with Hidden Power and Grass Knot used for coverage on Grass-, Rock-, and Ground-types. Substitute is vital to provide Pikachu with a safety blanket from priority attacks, attacks in general, and Dugtrio, and you should attempt to keep a Substitute up while sweeping.

Pikachu is still incredibly hard to switch in, so utilizing U-turn is a good strategy. Or, you could go the ballsy way and use your prediction skills to bring Pikachu in. The first option is safe, but the second is much more fun to pull off.

Chansey and Clefable can easily cut Pikachu's sweep short, so pairing Pikachu with a strong Pursuit user such as Honckrow or Absol is recommended. Using a Pokemon like Blaziken and the aforementioned Pursuit users can also ensure that Chansey thinks twice before switching into Pikachu, lest Blaziken double switch into it. Lanturn also causes problems for this set since it is immune to Thunderbolt, resists Hidden Power Ice, and is only hit by Grass Knot for 40 Base Power. Pursuiting it can work; however, Lanturn can simply stay in and KO your Pursuit user with STAB Thunderbolt. Dugtrio works well here, trapping and KOing Lanturn with STAB Earthquake. In fact, Dugtrio can even be used to take care of Chansey and Clefable, and is definitely worth considering for a team slot. Registeel, another counter to Pikachu, is also dispatched by all the mentioned teammates.

Pikachu may seem useless at first glance, with big brother Raichu outclassing it in every single stat. However, due to its unique hold item, Light Ball, both of its offensive stats are doubled, making the Pokemon mascot a force to be reckoned with.

This set is one of Pikachu's best options to set up a sweep, either for itself or a teammate. The idea is to Encore a harmless move, such as a Clefable's Softboiled, and set up a Substitute. Then you can pound the opponent with either a STAB Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Ice.

Substitute is a must on all of Pikachu's sets. The protection it offers from revenge killing is often the difference between life and death for the little yellow rodent. Thunderbolt provides you with a strong STAB attack and can severely dent most Pokemon not resistant or immune to it. Hidden Power Ice provides the best neutral coverage alongside Thunderbolt and hits Grass- and Ground-types super effectively. Alternatively, Grass Knot can be used to get the guaranteed 2HKO on max HP / 136 SpD Steelix and most Regirock (outside of a sandstorm), assuming Stealth Rock is in play.

Pikachu can be very annoying for your opponent, but getting it in is quite hard, given its pathetic defenses. It therefore takes some prediction to switch it in. A less risky way is to utilize the moves U-turn and Baton Pass to get Pikachu in. Once Pikachu is in, let the fun begin!

Pikachu appreciates entry hazards support, especially Spikes, since Encore causes switches and most of its counters are grounded. If you Encore a move like Earthquake or Earth Power(from behind the Substitute), you can give another teammate a free switch in. For example, Honchkrow gets a free switch-in on Encored Ground-typed attacks and can Pursuit the opponent as it switches out. Its Pursuit also easily weakens Chansey and Clefable to the point where they will be too weak to face Pikachu again. This strategy is even more effective in OU, since the common Earthquake users are faster than Pikachu, ensuring that Earthquake is encored. This works not only with Earthquake, but quite a few moves depending on your set-up sweeper.

Sweepers like Calm Mind Mismagius, SubCharge Rotom, or Swords Dance Scyther will love the free turns that Encore provides. In fact, any set-up sweeper loves free turns, so they make excellent teammates for Pikachu.

Steelix and specially defensive Regirock wall this set if you go with Hidden Power Ice in the fourth slot. If you go with Grass Knot, then Grass-types like Venusaur wall the set. A Pokemon to deal with these threats is required, such as Registeel (watch out for Sleep Powder), Regice, or any defensive Pokemon, such as Uxie. Uxie has the benefit of handling pokemon like Swords Dance Leafeon as well. Make sure you watch out for Sleep Powder.
Altre Opzioni

The reason no Nasty Plot set is listed above is that Pikachu is like a UU Deoxys-A. It doesn't have time to set up and attack. It needs to get started attacking right away, or else it's going to go down on the next hit. Encore and Substitute are the two exceptions that can keep Pikachu alive and shocking.

Surf sounds really cool, and with the 20th Anniversary Nintendo Power event that was held back on Sept. 13, 2008 we are no longer limited to legitimate crappy Hardy natured Surfing Pikachus from Pokémon Battle Revolution. Grass Knot is more powerful against the likes of Tyranitar and Rhyperior anyway. However, Surf hits the likes of Camerupt and Steelix much harder, but those Pokemon are uncommon.

Focus Punch can be an excellent option over Brick Break on the physical set. If Pikachu gets a Sub up on the switch, it can OHKO an incoming Blissey/Snorlax.

You might be contemplating an Adamant/Modest nature for the extra attack power. Don’t. Pikachu needs all the Speed it can get, especially when that extra Speed can help it outspeed other UU Pokemon in the base 90 to 100 Speed brackets, containing some of the biggest threats available.

Quick Attack or Fake Out can stop things like Reversal/Flail users.

EVs

Pikachu should ALWAYS max Special Attack and Speed on a special set. The reason that the remaining 6 EVs were put into Defense instead of HP is because with those 6 EVs in HP, Pikachu's HP total becomes 212, which is divisible by four. This means Pikachu will only be able to Substitute three times instead of four. This is assuming that Pikachu has a 31 HP IV, but chances are your Pikachu—if it's in-game—doesn't have it. You will need to calculate your Pikachu's HP and then determine whether it should have those 6 EVs in HP or not. Ideally, Pikachu should have an odd-numbered HP—this also rounds down damage from Stealth Rock or Spikes.

Opinioni

If you’re a trainer with some serious balls, Pikachu is the rat for you. He can be hard to switch into battle carefully, but the payoff can be huge. A Pikachu sweep is amazing to behold.

Counters

Blissey and Snorlax can take any hit a purely special Pikachu can dish out, although Snorlax will eventually fall with Spikes support. Actually, the Pikachu trainer should be watching out for things like Weavile and Dugtrio, who will make sure Pikachu doesn’t survive to 'bolt again. The smart Pikachu trainer should always try to keep a Substitute up as a safeguard against this.
