Thunderbolt is Pikachu-S's most spammable STAB attack. Zippy Zap lets it pick off significantly weakened threats such as Mega Aerodactyl and Mega Beedrill. Splishy Splash and Floaty Fall let Pikachu-S hit common Electric-type answers such as Rhydon, Nidoqueen, Alolan Dugtrio, and Mega Venusaur for super effective damage, as well as spreading paralysis decently well; however, only Rhydon is OHKOed by any of these, and it is the only relevant Pokemon Pikachu-S can reliably OHKO at all. Alternately, Calm Mind lets Pikachu-S at least leave a dent in otherwise impassable answers like Mew. A Naive nature is used to let Pikachu-S outpace Alolan Dugtrio and Starmie without sacrificing any power that it so direly needs.
