DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time. Also sometimes the Pokemon Battle Historia doesn't provide enough information to talk about certain Pokemon so I add Smogon analysis to make sense of it. This is pretty rare though.
To the people asking why I don't cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn't really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn't actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn't find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn't really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Breloom and Lycanroc are barely relevant in gen 7 OU, and weavile probably misses the OHKO. Pikachu is no Pheromosa, but priority is at a pretty major low right now, which helped push it into Ubers. It would be at least a niche pick.

The Gen. 1 secret for Pikachu: Teach it light screen and reflect and then evolve it because Raichu couldn't learn a lot of moves or TM's. Mega Kick or Body Slam were also really good with Pikachu, and then Thunderbolt.

Unless if you are Ash Ketchum, who is the most cursed trainer in the existance due to Writers messing with the whole "Pokemon Master" dream.
TLDR: PU in solos, but semi-viable in duos Interesting that Ash's best friend is best when played with friends.
I don't play competitively but just from a single player perspective I remember always trying to catch one in Gen one to help deal with Misty and to fry the endless waves of Zubats early on, but as soon as I could replace him with Jolteon I usually did. Pikachu is useful at the beginning, and it's nice to have an electric type around early, but there much better one's later on.

Pikachu is actually pretty solid in tiers below UU, Light Ball is really good and it can learn icicle crash with the custom pikachu cosplays. Covering Ground and Grass. It is probably safer to set up sticky webs to assist Pikachu. But it can put in some work, at the very least it will deal massive damage or wallbreak something if used correctly. Just don't switch into an attack or it'll get run over, it faints at the nearest sneeze.
I would love to see a remake of this video with Let’s Go discussed.
How good was Hitmontop actually? Btw love your series

Just a pun on the tiers and the fact that PU is used as in "peeyou" when something smells.

No it dosent mean anything
My competitive Pikachu is the first you send out, it’s a stealth rock counter. All points into speed and Special Attack, and holding a Light Ball. Encore after stealth rocks, then Nasty Plot over and over, then either thunderbolt, or hidden power ice
And uh, I think it's time we started covering gen 7. Z moves are a huge variable for pikachu players.

If you mean using Z-moves, no. Don't even bother trying anything other than the Light Ball.

Since the Z-moves require Pikachu to NOT hold Light Ball, they actually don't outdamage Light Ball boosted moves by much, if at all.
