Throughout the history of the Pokemon, our raven haired hero Ash Ketchum has won plenty of battles with his trusty and lifelong partner Pikachu, who has been along with Ash since the start of his journey as a Pokemon trainer. So far Ash's starter and lifelong partner has displayed many incredible and amazing feats in Pokemon battles, winning many important and noteworthy battles for Ash in the process. But among all those amazing feats Pikachu has displayed so far, which particular feat of Pikachu do you guys think to be the best, a.k.a., the G.O.A.T feat of him?

I'll go with Tying with Latios as well, with Tobias known as an unstoppable opponent with legendaries. Mega Lucario and Nihilego Lusamine had their fearsome lores, but I wasn't so pleased of the way they sold Pikachu's attacks, so their outcomes were kinda anti-climatic despite the feat. Alain had those pseudo-legendaries but we couldn't gauge well their powers since we don't see them outside of Ash battle, so maybe they aren't much of a deal. Didn't see the Brandon battle.

Tying with Latios is its best feat imo.
Tying with Latios imo.
If you two don't mind then could you guys elaborate on why you chose the Latios feat over the other ones? Giving some reasoning/explanation to back up your view doesn't hurt of course. :)

IMO the ascending order of the feats goes like:

Defeating Korrina's Mega Lucario < Defeating Brandon's Regice < Tying with Tobias's Latios < Defeating 2 of Alain's pseudo legendaries and making his Charizard kneel afterwards < Defeating Mother Beast Nihilego with 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. A.k.a.,OHKO'ing Mother Beast Nihilego with 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt is his best feat in terms of power scaling so far.

My reasoning behind behind that is:

Korrina's Mega Lucario was really strong without doubt considering it was fairly strong as a Base Lucario (had a 100 win streak as a Base Lucario and beat Pikachu pretty comfortably) and it had an entire development arc of mastering Mega Evolution. And Korrina was shown to be a character who trains really hard with Lucario to become stronger, so it's safe to assume that her Lucario got more stronger in the time gap between Korrina's arc and her Gym battle with Ash. On top of everything, it was itself implied heavily by Clemont's statements during the Korrina arc that Mega Evolution basically boosted Lucario's strength likely even more than twice. But still considering all these, Korrina was still afterall the 3rd Gym Leader of Kalos, and going by depiction Wulfric was heavily implied to be the strongest Gym in Kalos, so at least wasn't the strongest Kalos Gym Leader. So while Korrina's Mega Lucario would still be really strong, it still won't quite be on par with the Legendaries Pikachu has beaten.

Brandon's Regis were definitely really strong and powerful without doubt, but they still they weren't on the level of E4 aces, considering that Brandon's Registeel had a tough time beating Ash's Torkoal, who exactly won't be a top calibre Pokemon even with the training it recieved prior at Oak's lab. Also Brandon's strongest and most experienced Regi is Regirock, and Regice was his newest captured Regi. So after considering all this, it's fair to say that though Brandon's Legendary Regice was a really strong opponent, it still wasn't E4 ace calibre.

Regarding Tobias's Latios, with the way Tobias's Legendaries were depicted throughout the Sinnoh League and the way they could sweep trainers(Darkrai sweeping almost the entire League)/take out quite some powerful Pokemon in OHKO's(what Latios did by easy revenge killing Sceptile and utterly destroying a decently powerful Pokemon like Swellow), it's safe to say that they are on par with some E4 ace calibre Pokemon. So Pikachu being able to tie with Latios despite its Electric attacks being not very effective is really impressive and amazing.

Regarding the performance vs Alain in the Kalos League finals, the primary thing to notice is that Pikachu, even after sustaining heavy damage from the pseudo legendaries it beat, afterwards still managed to make Alain's Charizard(albeit in base form) kneel. The fact that it could battle with Alain's Charizard competitively for a while and make it kneel momentarily despite being so much weakened shows that, Pikachu would've been able to battle on equal grounds with Alain's Charizard (base). Now the question arises, that how strong is Alain's Charizard in its base form? With the kind of a monster it is in its Mega Evolved form it is(it beat 10 Mega Evolved Pokemon, including an E4's Mega Evolved Pokemon), it's safe to say that Alain's Mega Charizard X is the strongest trainer Pokemon in existence, apart from a Champion's Mega Evolved Pokemon. E4 members, with their aces Mega Evolved, would be on a complete different level compared to E4 aces is base form, considering the massive boost Mega Evolution gives to a Pokemon. So if Alain's Mega Charizard X can beat Malva's Mega Houndoom, then it's mode or less safe to say that without Mega Evolution in the battle, his Base Charizard could likely beat Base Houndoom too. So, considering that that Alain's Charizard at the time of the Kalos League was very likely even stronger than it was in ME-4, it would be on par with upper calibre E4 aces(in base form) as Base Charizard and likely better than all Mega Evolved E4 aces as Mega Charizard X. So considering that Pikachu could make Charizard kneel in a weakened state, it was likely on par with Charizard at full health. So being on par in strength with an upper calibre E4 ace level Pokemon is incredible considering how E4 level Pokemon have been portrayed in the past saga.

Regarding Mother Beast Nihilego, it was told by Hala in SM51 that Tapus and Ultra Beasts had a long battle at one point of time which lasted many days. So it's fair to assume that Tapus = Ultra Beasts in general. We all know how strong Tapu Koko has been depicted in the anime so far, it's quite strong as a Legendary. Considering Tapus = Ultra Beasts, Nihilego in normal form should be about on par with Tapu Koko. In its boosted Mother Beast form where it merged with Lusamine, it became clearly much more stronger, with it's attacks becoming more devastating. After it took entire control of Lusamine's body, Nihilego attained an even more powerful form, becoming even bigger. Pikachu's 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt took out that final powerful Mother Beast form of Nihilego in just one hit, a.k.a., just OHKO'd it. Considering how much more powerful Nihilego was in that final Mother Beast form was than normally Nihilego would be, literally OHKO'ing it like that with 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt is really an incredible feat after all.

So after analysing all these, I'd say that in terms of power scaling, Pikachu feat against Mother Beast Nihilego with 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt was the best.

I'd say his victory against Jindai's Regice, because he accomplished that without too many contrived circumstances. But Pikachu versus Latios is a close second from my point of view.
