Surfing Pikachu?

[Souless_Heat]

I want to use a Pikachu, but how do I teach it surf? Also would this be a good set for it:

Pikachu@Light Ball
Modest
Thunder Bolt
Surf
Substitute
HP Ice/Thunder Wave

Surf sucks on pika IMO.
You store 1499 pokes in Pokemon Box, you'll get a pichu egg with surf.

Raichu@lefties
modest/timid nature
- sub
- focus punch
- t-bolt
- t-wave

Raichu isn't that great.

You can surf by Hacking (which is bad), or via Pokemon Box.

Also, Ignore Above poster.

nightcat, I just want to get a Surfing Pikachu, not a Raichu.

P.S. What do you mean by 1499 pokes in a box?

 

[Nightcat]

In the game pokemon box.
'teva.

The way to get surfing Pikachu is to actually read what nightcat wrote (well, the first bit).

 

[firewater]

your moveset is good for it , but instead of modest, use timid instead on pikachu


Pikachu@light ball
timid
t-bolt
surf
sub
hp-ice

and surf does not suck on pikachu

 

[SwordofAeons]

Substitute with no Focus Punch?

 

[magnemiteZ]

It has to have a filler slot.
Mainly because Pika's Attack stat is laughable.

 

[Snap Dragon]

Modest > Timid

 

[SwordofAeons]

No. Timid>Modest IMO

 

[magnemiteZ]

Timid ftw.

 

[Freakshow]

Right now the only possible way to get Surfing Pika legitly is to use Pokemon Box.
Timid IMO, sometimes you might outrun your foe's Alakazam (in game only, though).
I got mine in a promotion in Pokemon Center Osaka in Japan about a year and 2 months ago. It was Jolly unfortunately

TWave on the filler slot maybe?

Why have 'Pikachu' with Surf? I never thought it could learn that. If it can, it's a waste of time. Have protective moves to annoy your silly oppoments. I've got a new strategy. 'Switching your pokemon' Anyone heard of that!??!

Ever heard of Pokemon Box?!!!


Raichu@Leftovers
Hasty/Lonely/Mild nature
