Pokémon of the Week! (#1)

Good afternoon! Or good night? I'm having problems getting used to Daylight Savings. -.- Anyway, this is my first "Pokémon of the Week" entry and I'm starting with the most popular Pokémon of them all. Enjoy ;)

Pokémon of the Week- Pikachu (#025)

Pikachu, you ask. Umm no, one does not simply not know who Pikachu is. Pikachu and Pokémon go hoof in hoof. Either you know both or you know neither. In fact, Pikachu is like the signature Pokémon. Pikachu represents Pokémon. It might not have been this way at the beginning of the Pokémon Company. But most of the time it's been this way, and that's the way it'll probably be. Pikachu is the most popular Pokémon. Either loved, or hated. It doesn't matter if somepony hates it or loves it, the point is that that pony knows who Pikachu is.

Pikachu is a great Pokémon overall. It is a mouse, a powerful, "Electric" mouse. It might not be the most powerful Pokémon out there, but it's also not the weakest, definitely not. Of course every Pokémon can be beaten by another if it´s not well trained. So is Pikachu. You have to tweak every Pokémon by getting one with an efficient ability, nature, IV's, having it hold an item, a powerful moveset, and finally EV training. Pikachu might be weak, but can be turned into an efficient sweeper.

Every week I'm gonna show you guys my favorite movesets. And my favorite moveset for Pikachu is this.

Pikabro

Moves: Volt Tackle/ Hidden Power (Ice)/ Brick Break/ Substitute
Ability: Lightningrod
Item: Light Ball
Nature: Hasty
EV's: 252 Atk/ 4 S.Atk/ 252 Spd

Your best friend. Who needs a dog when you have a mouse! Err.... Pikachu... yeah. I like this set because it has a wide coverage. Volt Tackle is a powerful physical move, Electric of course. Ice gets rid of those Dragons, Ground, and Grass. Brick Break hits hard and gets past any walls. And Substitute to take a break from predicting and knowing what moves the opponent has. Its hasty nature increases its Speed, we need a lot of speed. Light Ball increases Pikachu's Attack and Special Attack, making it a killer machine, err... rat, err... mouse. EV's are for obvious purposes. And this is why I like it :D

AAAAAAAND!! I hope you guys liked it. It was long becuase it's my first one, but they'll get shorter next time. Have a great week-end and enjoy your Poké-lives! Peace!
