Guide
The goal of this build is to be agro during the early game to gain momentum for your team from the start. You can go either top or bottom lane, but want to get to level 4 before chasing down opponents. You then punish opponents who try and leave their tower by using electro web to slow them down so that they can not retreat and electro ball to deal massive damage. Pikachu plays the same way after getting thunderbolt but may rely more heavily on popping the x attack to be able to dispose of opponents quickly enough. After both of his specials are upgraded and the player has scored enough goals for his damage boost to be relevant, Pikachu can keep up and help push in the late game with fully evolved attackers.
Works Well With
Crustle's map control helps Pikachu trap opponents and it's bulk allows it to be a wall between Pika and opponents.
Lucario can take advantage of slowed opponents with his dashes and like Pikachu thrives in the early game
