So, what set can I give him that doesnt suck?

The whole gimmick is for 10,000,000,000 volt thunderbolt. Not much else you can do for it excepr 252 Sp Atk 252 Sp 4 Def(?)

>>32329147
>10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt- 195 BP
>Thunderbolt w/ Light Ball- 90x2 BP- 180 BP
Just treat it like a regular pikachu

>>32330926
this. pikanium z and pikashunium z are both complete ass because you can't use a light ball

ash-pikachu in general is worse than regular pikachu because it can't run moves like encore, nasty plot and surf. apparently it also comes with static, so you can't even get a free +1 off electric attacks

is this the literal worst form to be ever introduced into pokemon? objectively competitively speaking of course, I imagine most people would call keldeo's form uglier.

>>32331141
zen mode darmanitan would give it a run for its money, but yeah, even if you don't care about it being pure anime pandering it's still shit

Here's how: you don't. 10,000,000 volts is actually just 6% stronger than Light Ball Thundebolt.

252 SpA Pikachu 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Pikachu: 153-180 (72.5 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Light Ball Pikachu Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Pikachu: 141-167 (66.8 - 79.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I'd say Zen Mode is worse, because it's not an inferior variation, but something that requires you to stat a Pokemon the wrong way in order to be rewarded with a form that isn't even that good.

>>32331202
I had forgotten how bad it was, it absolutely takes the cake as the worst one yet, evne this thing isn't as counter-intuitive
>Let's make a bulky, slow pokemon with only half the HP of a frail speedy one!

>>32330926
a regular pikachu without egg moves and hidden ability

>>32331214
zen mode should work a bit like stance change:

use a physical attack --> change to normal form
use a special attack --> change to zen mode

having to be half-dead to start using special attacks was a terrible idea

>>32331192
JUST

Are you guys factoring in that ash pikachu has 90 spa a d 50 speed?

>>32332510
gets hit by anything still dies in 1 hit.
its useless

>>32331163
Holy fuck I forgot Zen Darmanitian even existed

But the worst form (or at least the most pointless) is definitely Spiky Eared Pichu
