What’s pikas best moves

Reply

Thunderbolt

Does it get the speed down move?

Reply

Electro Cage I think

Reply

Max speed max special 2 hp light ball Pikachu fake out volt switch tbolt electroweb

Reply

Makes Pikachu a glass cannon

Reply

Lightning rod ability

Reply

Lead into rain cores

Reply

Otherwise, you use fake out and volt switch under tailwind, and wait for a better matchup, or fake out for second Mon to set up and tbolt or electroweb and hope they give you another turn to volt switch

Pika currently doesn't fit that great into the current Mon lineup

Reply

If you're going yard sun you want more than yard that benefits. Ninetales snow doesn't help here pika doesn't help win your weather war just helps trade at least one electro weak Mon and then you're down

Reply

Gyarados doesn't sit great in yard sun either

Reply

If you want to run pika with yard you need to build more around sun and let pika deal with the threats to it

Reply

So something maybe like yard Venusaur Aerodactyl garchomp kingambit Pikachu would do just fine

Reply

Maybe even drop venu for sylveon

Here you go

Sylveon is built the same style but for dire claw sneasler

Kingambit is built to survive cc

Reply

I mean it's a common yard team with Pikachu. The leads aren't much different from usual

Reply

Pika is just in place of sneas

Fixed paste with chople as intended

Reply

Sounds like we're good

Reply

If they’re insisting on Pika idk if there’s anything better you can really do in this current meta

Reply

here is your pika+yard team.

Reply

It is built to be as forgiving and as hard hitting as possible

Reply

I really like seeing a Chu on non-rain though, that’s nice to see

Reply

The good part is even here it has its uses

Reply

Good defensive swap in against bridge for starters

Reply

Helps win that weather war
