While I can see the niche of Pikachu with espeed and its incredible offense, it's still too frail for my taste. Any ground, rock or steel type can deal with it, even with Brick Break. A well used Lighningrod gets it very powerful attacks, but that's it. I'd trade a little offense for survivability and freedom on items. I'd rather use Raichu, but I think Eelektross shadows it too.
