Oh, in that case it is just because of Alain. /padt/ is like an alzheimer's patient that's stuck in 2016 so of course they'd make jokes that don't make sense and are heavily context-specific.
It’s a meme in the japanese fanbase. Pikachu is the “Metagross Slayer” because nearly every time a Metagross appears in the series it’s almost always taken out by Pikachu’s Iron Tail to the dome. It’s never actually been officially acknowledged by the staff but it’s obvious it’s some sort of running joke.
>How many metagross did Pikachu defeat?
Only two, but Pikachu doesn't battle pseudos that often. He's actually battled more legends than pseudos and Metagross is his most fought pseudo: >Dragonite: W >Metagross: W >Metagross: L >Metagross: W >Tyranitar: W
Pikachu is more accurately a Gyarados killer. He's faced five Gyarados , including Misty's Mega, and murdered them all.
Makes sense to get 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt in the first round, because Ash won his last major tournament battle with it, it'd be to similar to the Pikachu vs Tapu Koko fight if he beat Leon's Charizard that way
That leaves Gigantamax Gengar and Mega Lucario for Cynthia and Leon
I'd like to see the Z-Move actually fail to KO the Mega Metagross, but be powerful enough that it loses the Mega form without fainting, and Pikachu gets to finish it off with regular Thunderbolt.
Pikachu is basically a legendary Pokemon at this point. He can't evolve into Raichu anymore either, he touched a Thunder Stone in XY and didn't evolve, and was shown to be Gmax in SWSH.
Now people realize that Pikachu is always the biggest shillmon. Ash is the mascot of the protagonist, Pikachu is the mascot of protagonist's Pokémon >Champion might be the strongest, but they'll guaranteed to lose to hat wearing, Pokédex holding, 10 year old Pokémon trainers in the game. >Just like how Steven, Cynthia, Iris get thrashed by Brendan, Lucas, Nate. So does Leon by Ash in Ashnime >Likewise, Charizard might be shilled as legendary tier powerful Pokémon, but Pikachu is the mascot Pokémon and Ash's favorite
Charizard shillings are fricking decoys diverting fans from realizing this. Charizard get all the anger, seething, complaints so nobody directs it to Pikachu >Leon's Gigantamax Charizard will get beaten by Gigantamax Pikachu at final most likely by body slam
Can someone explain the Pikachu-Metagross meme? How many metagross did Pikachu defeat? I cpuld only find Alain's.
It's not about Pikachu, Ash needs to fight Leon which means Steven and Cynthia are going to kneel
Anons in the /padt/ were being smug about pikachu fighting another metagross. Why?
>Tyson's Metagross in the Hoenn League
>Alain's Metagross in the Kalos League
>Now Steven's (Mega) Metagross in the Masters Tournament
This is the third Metagross Pikachu has fought
That Battle Frontier Metagross too
Nah, that was Tauros iirc.
Fourth. He fought Anabel’s Metagross and lost in their first match.

But hasn't pikachu only fought metagross twice?
2 I think? 1 in the Hoenn League and one vs Alain.

Pikachu is also a Milotic killer.
- Juan´s
- Lucy´s
- Wallace´s
It might face Cynthia´s also.
Ash is so fricking cringe

I mean, what else can a wimpy pikachu do to a champion's mega metagross ace? Iron Tail it to death? Lol
Spamming Thunderbolt worked against Latios
Electroweb also slows down Mega Metagross if it uses Agility
Steel should be weak to electric anyway and you can't argue this
Don't be ridiculous.
It's not like metal conducts electricity irl, silly.

How can one early route NFE be so, and I cant stress this enough, SO fricking BASED?
