Pikachu vs Cole McGrath

There are like a dozen Pikachu's in the Pokeverse and none are at thundergod level if that's what all you Pokefanboys keep thinking. Cole can deflect Pikachu's attacks with his polarity shield and his thunder attacks look way more powerful. Pikachu's attacks make people cough out smoke and pass out while Cole's lightning can kill people. I'm sure Cole can handle Pikachu's iron tail attack because if Cole didn't notice a girder falling on his head, I don't think iron tail will get his attention either (I think).

"When it releases pent-up energy in a burst, the electric power is equal to a lightning bolt" - Pokémon Emerald.

Pikachu is your "dozen Pikachu's" all put together in canon. Each aspect of the Pokémon universe is used to feed the canon of another, so anything Pikachu does in any version is canon. (SSB does not count)

Because Pikachu can absorb lightning with its tail and its level is equal to a lightning bolt, it outpower Cole quite easily. Ash's Pikachu has proven capable of not only destroying tanks, but large buildings and even shatter solid rocks.
Cole has destroyed a truck.

Revolving your ignorant "cough smoke" point, it's a God damn children show. It's like that whole "Pokémon can't kill" point that was brought up a long time ago. People are ignorantly ignoring the fact that the anime as well as manga is made for children first and foremost, and through that not thinking about the fact that a lot of the things done in both anime as well as manga would be fatal for a human.

So there are two explanations: Humans in the Pokémon universe has insane endurance, or the animators doesn't want people to die in the anime (The exception being Mewtwo who in fact killed)

The Cole girder feat is very impressive for physical durability and a point I use very often when debating him, HOWEVER, an electric attack is more than just physical damage. It's damageing your insides more than it does your outside.

Team Rocket IMO are superhumans with undying endurance.

I don't know how they easily recover from falling from skydiving heights while being sent 2 towns over and come back completely fine from the blast off.

They use Hyper Potion?

😕

They would need Max Potion n00b!!

You're both scrubs, Full Restore is what real trainers use.

real trainers dont use items

Cole absorbs electricity to heal himself, nothing Pikachu can do will even tickle Him. Cole literally steps on Pikachu ftw.

Cole's only absorbed electricity that wasn't flying at him. Pikachu is blindingly fast, and it has access to strong attacks outside of electricity.

No.

Pikachu kills Cole with Quick attack spam.

Arent Pokemon overpowered SOBs? Would it win?

What difference does it make if it's flying towards him?
It's still electricity. Cole used himself as a conduit to restore generators that power sections of a city. Nothing Pikachu does will remotely hurt him.

Except Pikachu can generate enough electricity to effect the /weather/ and destroy solid stone?

That's fine. Electricity doesn't hurt Cole, it heals him.

Only when passed through his body willingly, or else Kessler's attacks wouldn't have done anything to Cole.

Tadah, argument destroyed. Cole loses, Cole's never survived anythign as powerful as a lightning bolt from Pikachu.

Argument destroyed? Please.

If Cole has to allow electricity to pass through his body to heal him, then fine he allows it, making the mouse's attacks useless.
Bringing up Kessler is a poor argument, Kesslers mastery over electricity was so great he could time travel. Kessler makes Pikachu look like a used up Duracell battery.

He'd have to react in time for that, and Cole's not fast enough.

Sure he is why wouldn't he be? His will is as fast as though which far faster than Pikachu.

😆 His will is faster than Pikachu?

He has to see the attack coming, think of how to react to it, and do so, all before it hits him. No.

Show me one feat that puts him anywhere near close enough to react to that?

Cole is capable of dodging and surviving all of Kessler's attacks, which are electric based and far more powerful than Pikachu's. If your trying to tell me Pikachu is faster than thought your sorely mistaken. Pikachu isn't The Flash.

Fail. What has Kessler done that makes his electricity more destructive than Pikachu's?
