Pikachu Resources Thread

A10theHero · Sep 24, 2016

A library of useful information, related to both general and Pikachu-specific techniques/mechanics.
Generally speaking, because of how busy I've become, this thread won't always be 100% up-to-date. Atma is doing a really nice job in the Pika Discord Group with the Resource Channel there, so if possible, you should rely on that instead. But I'll come here to update the thread whenever I can.
