Hey guys, HDvee here!
Now if you're like me, you've seen the Pokemon Anime, and of course, you'll most
likely know about all of the mysteries surrounding it too, such as why Ash Ketchum doesn't
age, who Ash Ketchum's father is and why Poliwag is named Poliwrath in the Pokerap,
these questions have stuck with us for as long as we can remember.
However, another big question that has been floating around since the start of the Pokemon
anime, is of course, what level is Ash Ketchum's Pikachu?
Ash has travelled with his trusty Pikachu since the start of the anime all the way up
to his current adventure in Alola, so with all of that travelling, Pikachu should have
surely gained a bucket load of experience by now and so, should be a pretty high level.
But on the other hand, some of the battles that Pikachu loses really make you scratch
your head and make you wonder what is actually going on with this little electric mouse.
Well, in today's video we take a look at what level is Ash Ketchum's Pikachu?

let's get into the video and I really hope that you enjoy!
Now before we even begin looking at what level Ash Ketchum's Pikachu is, we first have
to decide if levels even exist in the Pokemon Anime, seeing as it's barely ever mentioned
and some Pokemon, such as Ash's Bulbasaur or Squirtle, take part in loads of battles
but haven't evolved yet.
However, looking back at the very first series of the Pokemon Anime, an episode actually
sheds some light on this question.
In the episode titled, 'The School Of Hard Knocks', it goes into quite a bit of detail
about levels of Pokemon in the Anime, so let's look at a brief summary of the episode.
While searching for firewood in the foggy woods, Ash and Pikachu discover a bunch of
prep-school kids bullying a classmate named Joe.
They're all students at Pokémon Technical Institute, which offers classes that allow
trainers to enter the Pokémon League without getting badges.
But Joe says the rough treatment is necessary so he'll be strong enough to graduate.
Still, Ash doesn't like the idea, and demands to meet the person responsible for this "tutoring"
program.
We soon meet this leader, a conceited girl named Giselle.
Brock and Ash are smitten by her looks, but Misty wants to battle.
To Misty's surprise, Giselle's Rock-type Graveler defeats her Water-type Starmie, proving that
matching up types is only one of several factors that determine victory.
As Giselle gloats, Ash challengers her, and Pikachu faces her Cubone.
In multiple parts of this episode, the levels of Pokemon are mentioned.
For instance, Joe talks about the Pokemon Pidgey, and how it evolves into Pidgeotto
at level 18 and Pidgeot at level 36, he also explains the different levels in which this
Pokemon learns certain moves such as it being able to learn whirlwind at
level 21.
This is one of the very few episodes in the anime where the fact that Pokémon learn certain
moves on certain levels is mentioned, or that Pokemon even have levels at all.
So, seeing this mentioned in the Pokemon anime is clear proof that levels do infact exist
in the universe of the Pokemon Anime, so Pikachu has to have some sort of level.
So now that we know that Pokemon do infact have levels in the Pokemon Anime, let's
take a closer look at Ash's Pikachu.
Later on in the episode, Giselle explains that with at least 2 months experience, Ash's
Pikachu should be around level 25, but that it probably isn't there yet.
So going on from this episode in the Pokemon Anime, which is episode 9 may I add, so pretty
close to when Ash Ketchum actually started his Pokemon journey, Pikachu should be level
25, but isn't yet, so let's say that he's around level 20, give or take.
So let's move on to the next piece of information.
In the Pokemon games, a Pikachu learns Thunder at level 58, and Ash's Pikachu learned Thunder
back in Episode 42 of season one, so around the time of this episode being aired, Pikachu
had to be at least level 58, unless Ash taught Pikachu thunder through the use of a TM, but
we never actually saw that happen so it's safe to say that Pikachu learnt the move by
itself.
And since that episode, Pikachu made Team Rocket blast off hundreds of times and has
been in almost every gym battle since.
It also defeated Two Legendary Pokemon and was in a Pokemon contest.
So if it was level 58 less than halfway through season one, and it's done ALL this plus so
much more since then, it's only logical that Pikachu would be coming up to level 100,
right?
Well, this is where it gets awkward.
As you probably already know, Ash's Pikachu lost to Trip's Snivy in the first episode
of the Pokemon black and white anime.
People like to make memes about how Ash's Pikachu seems Unstoppable at times, but still
loses easy battles like to a level 5 Snivy.
So, if Pikachu was a really high level, like it should be, why is it losing to a level
5 starter Pokemon that also has never battled before?
It just doesn't seem to make that much sense to me.
However, Trip's Snivy used Leaf Tornado in order to defeat Pikachu, a move which it
can't learn until level 16.
So unless Trip got lucky and received the most powerful starter Pokemon in the history
of Pokemon, it's fair to say that Pokemon don't learn moves like they do in the Pokemon
games, even though we've already gone over the fact that Pokemon do learn moves at certain
levels in the Pokemon Anime back when Joe was talking about it in that episode from
Season one.
At the end of the day, there are so many inconsistencies in the Pokemon Anime that it's gotten to
the point where you kind of just have to roll with it, I mean Ash has been 10 years old
now for nearly twenty years for goodness sake.
The most logical explanation for Pikachu's level is that it corresponds with the situation
he's in.
For example, being able to take out a Regice would mean that Pikachu's level would have
been high in that situation because he was facing a Legendary Pokemon, and then when
he fought Trip's Snivy, his level dropped in order to correspond with that situation,
because let's be honest, if Ash's Pikachu was level 100 like it should be, every single
episode would just involve Ash easily defeating strong trainers and gym leaders seeing as
his Pikachu's level would completely outclass everything it comes up against, and that just
wouldn't be fun to watch at the end of the day.
But with that, wraps up this video.
