Hi
everyone, I'm starting a series of blogs about the mysteries and theories of Pokemon.
Today's
topic is . . . MYSTERIES ABOUT
ASH'S PIKACHU!!!
The mascot of Pokemon has
many mysteries to it. Today I will talk about 3 main topics:
1)
-How does Pikachu know Iron Tail?
For
those who don't know, Iron Tail is a physical Steel attack that has
100 power and 75% chance of hitting the target. Pokemon like Aggron
and Steelix can learn this level up move.
In
“All
Things Bright and Beautifly!”
the mouse Pokemon got inspired by a Sentret
smashes the rock, using Iron Tail. Later in that episode Pikachu
learned how to us Iron Tail but, sadly he had not mastered how to use
it.
2)
-Why did Pikachu suddenly know Volt Tackle (because Volt Tackle is
an Egg Move)?
For
those who don't know, Volt Tackle is a physical attack that has 120
power and 100% chance of hitting the target but, the user damage it
self in the process. Pokemon like Pichu can learn this egg move (one
parent has to have a light ball).
In
the end of “May's
Egg-Cellent Adventure”
Pikachu used Quick Attack to chase Team Rocket and learned Volt
Tackle instead.
For
those who don't know, Thunderbolt is a special attack that has 90
power and 100% chance of hitting the target. Pokemon like Pikachu can
learn this level up move and Pokemon like Espurr can learn it as a
TM.
For
those who don't know, Electro Ball is a special attack that always
has a different amount of power and 100% chance of hitting the target.
Pokemon like Rotom can learn this level up move.
The
answer is simple,in “Showdown
in Pewter City”
Flint taught Pikachu Thunderbolt as a TM. In “Dancing
With the Ducklett Trio!”
Pikachu learned Electro Ball as a level up move.
There
are many more mysteries to the mouse Pokemon, not even I know all the
answers.
