>>47856603>This series generally retains the added visual aids from Pokémon the Series: XY, as seen as when Kiawe's Turtonator used Shell Smash in A Crowning Moment of Truth! and when Gladion's Lycanroc used Swords Dance in Showdown on Poni Island!. However, in That's Some Spicy Island Research!, Hapu's Mudsdale glowed red while increasing its defense with Stamina.>In Dealing with a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!, when teaching Narissa, Brock says "Now let's level you up. And the only way to do that is to get experience from battling."Stats and Levels do exist in anime, its just...they just don't really have a cap. Through endless training and The Power of Friendship Pokemon can be so much more than their statistics show them.
So any Pikachu can be as strong as Ash's Pikachu, it just has to want it enough, train hard enough, forge bonds/friendship/love as powerful as Ash & Pikachu's, and learn good strategies. Its not easy, but it is possible.
