Pokemon': Watch Pikachu and Zeraora's Electrifying Battle

Pokemon': Watch Pikachu and Zeraora's Electrifying Battle

Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon has kicked off a major rematch between Pikachu and the Legendary Pokemon Zeraora in the latest episode of the series, and it's a much different affair from when the two fought the first time.While Pikachu quickly took a loss against Zeraora during their first bout, it held his own in an outstanding fashion against such a powerful electric type with its own power. 

Pikachu and Zeraora's battle has a much different result the second time. In Episode 100, Pikachu lost against Zeraora as it was overwhelmed by Zeraora's Plasma Fist. But in Episode 101, the two have a much more elaborate bout. Pikachu uses its Iron Tail against Zeraora's Close Combat once more, and the two are surprisingly evenly matched.

Zeraora's Quick Attack is at the same speed as Pikachu's, and it seems like their electric attacks have the same amount of power within as well. Unfortunately, their battle does not have a conclusion as it was merely a means to help Ash get home. Ash came to this ruined version of Alola when fighting Tapu Koko in the previous episode, and Tapu Koko helps him get home in the same way.

After Ash and Dia help send Guzzlord into another dimension earlier in the episode, the two of them work together to gather enough electricity between Tapu Koko, Pikachu, and Zeraora to forge another portal. Though the battle is short, it answers the question of whether or not Pikachu could really defeat such a Legendary. Pikachu's battled with Legendary Pokemon in the past.
