Pikachu belongs to generation 1 and the rare rarity group in the official roster. Its evolution line is Pikachu → Raichu. A family starts at its first stage; the list below describes that base build.
Base stats and move parameters
| Parameter | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HP | 3400 | Base family health |
| Speed | 178 | Internal movement units; not metres per second |
| Reload | 0.85 s | Base reload interval |
| Super charge | 7 hits | Base hit count parameter |
| Basic: Impactrueno | burst · electric | 520 damage per projectile where exposed; 2 projectile(s); range 320 |
| Super: Impactrueno | thunderchain · electric | Flat damage: 760. Range: 360. |
Move names above are the original labels from the public file. The snapshot reports its default kit; alternate kits, evolution scaling and per-hit effects can change combat results. A missing flat damage value is left unfilled rather than estimated.
Weaknesses and resistances
The current formula softens single-type factors to 1.2, 0.85 and 0.7, multiplies against both defender types, then clamps the product to 0.65–1.35. It does not use the main-series Pokémon multipliers.

|---|---|
| normal | 1× |
| fire | 1× |
| water | 1× |
| electric | 0.85× |
| grass | 1× |

Where we would draft Pikachu
Pikachu has a burst basic attack with 320 range units and a 0.85-second reload, so its useful engagement window should be judged from those parameters rather than its rarity. Its movement parameter supports rotating to an isolated target, but committing without a retreat route risks losing the next objective.
ground is a particular type risk for Pikachu at 1.2× incoming damage. electric is reduced to 0.85×, but that does not guarantee a favorable duel because supers and kit choices differ.
- team duel — a role-based suggestion, not a measured species ranking.
- knockout — a role-based suggestion, not a measured species ranking.
Sources and snapshot limits
Last checked 2026-10-29. All species parameters come from one publisher: the official game. Recalculating multiple files is reproducibility, not independent confirmation. Launch roster counts differ: the same author’s itch.io listing says 490, while this roster builds 492 families / 934 dex rows. These are different published figures, not an averaged total.
