Pikachu-Starter @ Light Ball
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Lonely Nature
- Bolt Strike
- Electro Drift
- Glaive Rush / Headlong Rush
- Collision Course / Grass Knot

Using non-Imposter Pikachu, with its less than 450 BST, in BH where titans like Arceus roam? Incredibly, with the LGPE forme's boosted offenses combined with Light Ball, Pikachu-S is able to establish itself as a potent mixed wallbreaker that is trivial to Imposter-proof. With Tough Claws boosted Electro Drift, Pikachu-S can zap Fur Coat walls like Zamazenta hard. Glaive Rush and Headlong Rush both hit Dragon-types like Eternatus and Miraidon, the former also hitting Mega Garchomp and Koraidon, while the latter snipes Arceus-Electric. The last slot is for Ting-Lu: Collision Course is stronger even if Ting-Lu's Assault Vest is removed and can OHKO Registeel, while Grass Knot targets the rare Fur Coat Mega Swampert and Great Tusk. Pikachu-S has paper thin bulk and is crippled by Knock Off, making slow pivots such as Ting-Lu and Celesteela mandatory. Pikachu-S's awkward Speed tier leaves it vulnerable to Pokemon like Flutter Mane, making paralysis support and speed control teammates like Alakazam-Mega helpful. Sapblockers like Flutter Mane and Magic Bounce Eternatus limit Strength Sap healing from faster Pokemon such as Arceus formes and Zamazenta, helping Pikachu-S break through.

Pikachu-S has paper thin bulk and is crippled by Knock Off, making slow pivots such as Ting-Lu would definetly add steela here as well, as pika can threaten imp steela if it's been chipped by salt cure or something mandatory. Pikachu-S's awkward Speed tier leaves it vulnerable to Pokemon like Flutter Mane, making paralysis support and speed control teammates like Zacian zacian's putting the fries in the bag rn, surely we can mention like mzam or scarf blaze as well, as they can outspeed and threaten fmane while actually being good helpful. Sapblockers like Flutter Mane and Magic Bounce Eternatus limit Strength Sap healing from faster Pokemon such as Arceus formes and Zamazenta, helping Pikachu-S break through.

QC 1/1, not really much to say since you already mentioned everything necessary
