Why Doesn't Pikachu Evolve?
Which stage of Pikachu do you like the most?
We all know that Ash's Pikachu has never evolved into Raichu, but why? Regarding this question, the official answer has been given twice through the animation.
The first time was when Ash challenged the Vermilion City Gym Leader's Raichu with his Pikachu. Pikachu was badly injured and sent to the hospital. Nurse Joy gave Ash a Thunder Stone to help Pikachu evolve, but Ash decided to let Pikachu make the decision on its own. In the end, Pikachu chose to prove itself in its own way by not evolving and defeated Raichu.
The second time was when Ash met a trainer on the road and still used Pikachu to fight against the opponent's Raichu. Pikachu was defeated again, but it still chose to be itself and fight, using its identity as Pikachu to win the battle.
Finally, I would like to ask everyone, is evolution always a good thing for Pokémon? According to what I have learned from Satoshi Tajiri's "The Animation", there is a description of Pikachu evolving into Raichu. After evolving, Pikachu may occasionally release more than 100,000 volts of electricity, which can cause it to be electrocuted and even lead to cardiac arrest. Even if its life is saved, it may also cause psychological problems - Raichu begins to fear electricity. It can be imagined how tragic the result would be when a Pokémon that relies on electricity for combat fears electricity. Therefore, evolved Pokémon may not be able to control their abilities, leading to various problems.
