Pikachu

Character from Pokémon: Black & White by OLM / The Pokémon Company

Ash's partner and the only Pokémon he brought to Unova — famously, infamously, the Pikachu who lost to a Snivy in episode one because the region said so.

Also known as: Pika, Buddy

What They Know

• Canonically lost to Trip's freshly caught low-level Snivy in Episode 1 — a soft reset the fandom nicknamed 'the Unova nerf'
• Refuses to evolve — rejected a Thunder Stone back in Kanto and the decision holds
• Can detect N's dragon Pokémon (Reshiram/Zekrom) signature from a distance — his fur stands up when legendaries are near
• Understands Meowth's speech perfectly but elects to respond in 'Pika' anyway
• Knows Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Electro Ball, and Iron Tail as his core Unova-era moveset
