This is a new offensive build centered around Thunderstorm as a response to Pikachu's buff in the 1.3.1.7 Update. Get aggressive once you get Thunderstorm, using it whenever it's available to get kills or securing objectives for your team.

By default, Electro Ball and Thunderbolt are your main moveset. However, you can be flexible with the first move choice, interchanging Electro Ball and Thunder depending on whether your team needs more single-target burst damage or an AoE crowd control. On the other hand, Thunderbolt is the best choice for your second move.

Choice Specs is your default offensive item, having Wise Glasses or Shell Bell as a substitute. Energy Amplifier and Buddy Barrier are your bread-and-butter item combination, providing cooldown reduction, faster recharge rate, durability, and damage increase after casting Thunderstorm.

Eject Button is the best choice for this build, giving you mobility to get aggressive or be defensive. However, if you manuveur well enough, you can equip X Attack instead for more damage.

Your Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems to maximize your moves' damage and 4 Emblems of any color. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk or HP since the build if centered on using Thunderstorm. You can freely trade Attack, Critical-Hit Rate, and Movement Speed.

This is a stable build with a balanced offense and defense. Electro Ball and Thunderbolt is you primary moveset, providing both high single-target damage and a reliable crowd-control, respectively.

Choice Specs is your core damage item, increasing your moves' damage output for a decent amount. However, you can equip Wise Glasses as a replacement, whichever has the highest level. Shell Bell is also an alternative, providing you instead with a decent heal and cooldown reductions for your moves, although it does not give a high Sp.Atk. boost compared to the others. Buddy Barrier and Focus Band are your core defensive items, allowing you to survive longer in fights so you can keep casting your moves. You can replace Focus Band with Muscle Band should you want a stronger standard attack, especially early on.

Eject Button is a standard battle item to have, giving you both an offensive and defensive tool. However, if you want more damage, equip X Attack instead.

Your Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems to maximize your moves' damage and 4 White Emblems for additional HP. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk or HP since you'll want to balance offense and defense for the build. You can freely trade Attack, Critical-Hit Rate, and Movement Speed.

This is a cooldown reduction build that transforms Pikachu into a long-ranged AoE Sp. Atk. artillery, providing AoE damage and stuns from the backlines via Thunder and Thunderbolt.

Shell Bell and Energy Amplifier are your core items for the build due to their cooldown reduction effects. Wise Glasses further boosts your Sp. Atk, improving your moves' damage.

X Speed is a must-have Battle Item for this build, allowing you to escape enemies when things go awry.

Your Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 7 Black Emblems for maximum move cooldown reduction and 6 Green Emblems for maximum damage. To achieve this, you have to equip three (3) Emblems that is both Black and Green. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk, HP, or Movement Speed since you'll be providing firepower from the backlines. You can freely trade Attack and Critical-Hit Rate.

This is a high-damage single-target build. Since you'll be more of a single-target assassin, your gameplay should be taking out the enemy's squishy Pokemon using Electro Ball and Volt Tackle, particularly Attackers and Speedsters. Taking out the enemy's damage dealers quickly makes it easier for your team to win fights.

Choice Specs and Wise Glasses are your primary damage items, boosting your moves' damage output. Buddy Barrier is your only defensive and teamfight item, providing high bonus HP and decent shields when you cast Thunderstorm.

X Attack is nonnegotiable for this build, amplifying your damage output drastically.

Your Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems to maximize your moves' damage and 4 Emblems of any color. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk since the build focuses on dealing high burst damage. You can freely trade Attack, Critical-Hit Rate, Movement Speed.

Pikachu Best Items & Moveset

Best Held Items

Item	Explanation
Buddy Barrier	Buddy Barrier is a great defensive item for Pikachu, giving some durability to it. It also works well with Pikachu's Unite Move since it has a shorter cooldown compared to most.
Energy Amplifier	Energy Amplifier makes Pikachu's Unite Move recharge much faster that it already is. The increased damage effect is also benefitial to Pikachu's high burst damage moves.
Wise Glasses	Wise Glasses is a reliable damage item for Pikachu, increasing its burst potential.
Shell Bell	Shell Bell's cooldown reduction and healing effects makes Pikachu's moves more valuable and effective. Although it gives less Sp. Atk. stat compared to others, it's a decent item nonetheless.
Choice Specs	Choice Specs functions similarly to Wise Glasses since both give the same flat Sp. Atk. boost, increasing its burst potential.

List of Held Items

Best Battle Items

Item	Explanation
Eject Button	Eject Button provides Pikachu with an escape tool when things get awry and a chase tool to catch enemies.
X Speed	X Speed functions similarly to Eject Button but also gives Pikachu immunity from slows for a duration.

List of Battle Items

Best Moveset

Move	Explanation
Thunderbolt	Thunderbolt is essential for winning team battles since it locks down enemies in an area with a long stun.
Electro Ball	Electro Ball can stun enemies and deal huge damage within an AOE when timed correctly. It's a great assassination tool since it deals more damage the lower the target's HP is.

Thunderbolt is a must have for team battles as it locks down any enemies caught within the AOE with a long stun. Stopping enemies in teamfights is the top priority, if they are stunned they cannot use skills which is a huge advantage for you and your team.

Though not as huge as the Thunderbolt, the Electro Ball can stun enemies within an AOE as well as deal huge damage when timed correctly. The less health your enemy has, the more Electro Ball deals damage. Use this skill to chase down enemies on the run!

Though we chose Electro Ball as the best moveset, Thunder is a close second as the best choice between them depends on your playstyle. A chase-down Pikachu would prefer Electro Ball while a poking Pikachu would prefer Thunder.

Pair Up with an Ally with High HP
Pick Damage Move Based on Enemy Composition
Get More Value Out of Stuns
Attack Safely from Range
Deal AoE Damage with Thunderstorm

Get Aggressive in the Early Game

Pikachu has one of the best early-game kits because of its stuns and quick damage. While it is still recommended that you focus on farming Wild Pokemon during the early game before engaging the enemy, Pikachu is a dependable Attacker that can get easy kills it needs to.

Set up Knockdowns with Electroweb

Electroweb incapacitates a single target for a decent amount of time. It is best used for trapping over-extending opponents, especially when they are far from their goal zone. Since the move also deals damage when it lands on an opponent, it will be easier for you to knock them down once isolated, especially if you have an ally to help you.

Alternatively, you can also use Electroweb defensively by stopping the opponent in place while you pursued.

Electroweb: Pikachu Move Effect and Cooldown

Steal Wild Pokemon with Thunder Shock

Thunder Shock offers a decent amount of early-game damage. Since the move has a sure-hit type, you will be able to activate it easily without the need for much aiming. Use it to pressure your opponents or steal Wild Pokemon spawns to deny EXP from the enemy team.

Thunder Shock: Pikachu Move Effect and Cooldown

Pair Up with an Ally with High HP

Pikachu is a glass cannon - high damage output, but can easily be shattered. So, it is important that you never fight alone. You will want to pair up with sturdy allies, preferably Defenders, and stun any enemies that get close and provide offense. Doing this will also allow Pikachu to support bulky Pokemon like Snorlax or Slowbro by compensating for their lack of range.

Pick Damage Move Based on Enemy Composition

Once Pikachu reaches level 4, it will get to choose its damage move. While both choices are great in dealing high amounts of damage, the choice of Thunder or Electro Ball should be made based on the composition of the enemy team.

Learn Thunder for Sturdy Opponents

Thunder deals continuous damage within an affected area. The effect is great if you are looking to deploy Pikachu at safe distance and deal AoE damage. It is best suited for team fights when the enemy is grouped while contesting objectives.

Thunder: Pikachu Move Effect and Cooldown

Learn Electro Ball for Mobile Opponents

Electro Ball is a sure hit move that is easy to use. It is great for fighting highly mobile enemies like Speedsters or All-Rounders with dash moves. Moreover, it has a short cooldown, allowing you to frequently pressure your target with attacks.
Electro Ball: Pikachu Move Effect and Cooldown

Get More Value Out of Stuns

Pikachu has a strong arsenal of long-ranged stun moves that also packs a punch. Both moves have the same effect of stuns but differ in how they are controlled. One move may be best to pick depending on your desired playstyle.

Shut Down Single Targets with Volt Tackle

Volt Tackle deals damage to a single target while locking them down in place for a short time. If you time it right, you can also disrupt and cancel enemy moves as they activate them. Be careful, as you tackle the target, you will be pulled toward their position, which may open you up for a counterattack. For safety, it is best to have an ally nearby to follow up on your attack or protect you if anything goes wrong.

Volt Tackle: Pikachu Move Effect and Cooldown

Get More Range with Thunderbolt

Unlike Volt Tackle, Thunderbolt have you shoot down a thunder strike at the designated area, dealing AoE damage and stunning opponents. A well-placed Thunderbolt will incapacitate opponents long enough for your allies to bombard them with attacks. Use this to hold enemies in place to defeat them in one go or simply deal damage AoE damage at long range.

Thunderbolt: Pikachu Move Effect and Cooldown

Attack Safely from Range

Since Pikachu's attack range is quite large, you can easily kite and poke enemies safely at the edge of the attack range, before stunning them and finishing them off with an Electro Ball or Thunder. Using Battle Items like Eject Button or X Speed can be used as an emergency retreat or X Attack to ensure a KO.

Deal AoE Damage with Thunderstorm

Thunderstorm's recharged rate improved drastically thanks to the 1.3.1.7 Update, allowing you to use it more freely and frequently. You can further improve Thunderstorm's recharge rate by equipping Energy Amplifier with the bonus of dealing more damage for a short duration after using it.

Thunderstorm: Pikachu Move Effect and Cooldown

Save Thunderstorm for Team Fights

Since big team fights typically break out around important map objectives, Pikachu's Unite Move Thunderstorm should be saved until then. While the damage is not great, it has a large area of effect and can be used to finish off the enemy team at low health.

Alternatively, Thunderstorm can also be used as an escape mechanism for Pikachu when the need arises. Activating the Unite move will give Pikachu a window of invulnerability to escape, as well as shoot lightning bolts at nearby enemies. No matter the situation, it is best to save the Unite move for intense fights.

Best Teammates for Pikachu

Pokemon	Explanation
Zeraora	Good melee support to Zeraora's rushing attack style
	Pikachu on its own is a very volatile character. But, with Zeraora at its side, with its potent rushing and slashing attacks, stunning an opponent will spell its early doom with Pikachu's stunning attacks and Zeraora to finish it off.
Snorlax	Can act as a shield for Pikachu
	Pikachu can use its potent attacks behind Snorlax's block. When Block ends, Pikachu can then switch to defensive mode using its stun attacks while Snorlax becomes the offense, using its slamming moves.
Eldegoss	Offers more survivability for Pikachu
	Pikachu's main problem is its fragility - but with Eldegoss at its side, it can help solve that somewhat, allowing Pikachu to use its attacks more often.
