Pichu!

Gunvolt2
I AM electricity.
 
I can't believe Gunvolt is comparable to Pichu. Now that's pathetic. Despite that, Gunvolt takes it with more experience, and his numerous other abilities. Electric attacks don't work on him, so Pichu's greatest strength is mute. While Gunvolt can definitely use electricity against it. Mix it in with his prevasion, and I say Gunvolt takes it.
 
Pichu spams Double Team and then just absorbs parts of GV via basic electric Pokémon physiology as soon he tries to use Prevasion.
 
Many episodes in the anime, but only in electric types to be exact.

Just like they can emit electricity, they can also absorb it, albeit Pichu still needs some practice wih it, as he can injure himself while doing so.

Even his profile says that he can absorb electricity.
 
Okay I have a couple of problems with this.

1.) Are we allowed to just combine two separate entities into one Pichu? Because I was talking about the game.

2.) So if Pichu isn't fully mastered with it and it can even hurt itself, how is that going to work in its favor?

3.) Even if it successfully absorbs the parts of the electrons within Gunvolt, that isn't going finish him off. Pichu has a rather small frame, it won't be enough to cover a majority to get a kill. And once Gunvolt sees that, he doesn't need to use it. He is fine enough to dodge on his own accord, as he faced a light speed septima at one point.
 
Two separate entities? What´s in the first key is what Pichu can do. Plain and simple.

As for the footage, I couldn´t find it, but I can say that he simply sucks the electricity with the pink things on his face, just like when emiting electricity with them.
 
You see, right in the section "tier", there are some information fo what each variant of the character can have, right at the end of the page (before the matches section, however), there is often a section called "Key", which states which part of each section of description of a stat belongs to, the ones that come after the left ones always have what the previous stuff states unless specified.
 
Likely a tie. Pichu can absorb electricity, so its main source of attacking is nullfiied, and with pichu's attacks, prevasion would prevent the damage. Gunvolt's gun wouldn't do a lot if any damage. Pichu has high stamina and gunvolt can recharge, so he won't run out.
 
Gunvolt should probably take this for one main reason. He has reliable healing. And even if Pichu does absorb him during prevasion, Anthem will revive him. GV also has a bolt specifically to do damage to things whithout tagging them. Also, he's fought another user of the Azure Striker Septima who also had a gun with Power Nullification. I feel like Gunvolt's better utility gives him the win here.
 
Also, Pichu can likely simulate the Flashfield with Volt Tackle or Discharge, allowing him to even hit GV, as Prevasion can´t really work against that sort of attacks as far I remember.

There´s also Protect, which can allow Pichu to protect himself should the situation call for it, Nuzzle can limit GV´s movement and Light Screen can halve the damage Pichu gets from ranged attacks.
 
Nuzzle wouldn't be able to break through prevasion (It's not strong enough). While Pichu can protect, Gunvolt can heal outright. Don't even get me started on Anthem.
 
When Pichu breaks past GV´s prevasion, he has the chance to use Nuzzle on him.

GV may be able to heal quickly, but he can´t spam it, and while Anthem is attemped to be used right whiel GV is dying, Pichu can just quickly absorb the electricity of what once GV´s body was so that there´s nothing to ressurect into.
 
Gunvolt stomps. He can turn into electrons to avoid Pichu's attacks, can absorb anything Pichu throws at him, he has regen, and he can ressurect himself.

1: Electrons are electricity, something Pichu can absorb

2: GV can´t use Prevasion to dodge electric attacks comparable to his own durability.

3: Mid-Low is virtually useless here

4: Pichu can absorb him while he attemps to do so, and he can only do that once, which means that even if he manages to get fully back, Pichu can still continuing fighting him and even lower his health and stamina to Pichu´s level of health and stamina with Endeavor, allowing for a fair match even if he ressurects at peak.
 
1. Not even gonna comment on that.

2. No, but he can absorb them.

3. Uh, no? It absolutely isn't.

4. Pichu isn't just going to absorb him. He doesn't know what's going on, so that's not happening. Pichu needs to beat the dude twice, while Gunvolt only has to beat him once.
 
2: When has he done so? Only when it´s electricity conducted by a solid as far I know, and Pichu has Discharge, Thunder, Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle to hit him.

3: Have you checked the Regenerationn page? Mid-Low is reallly only useful against small chip damage, something that is surely not going to happen here to begin with.

4: Again, Endeavor is still a thing, while GV can come back at full health and stamina and Pichu is likely tired by then, he can just use that move to lower GV´s health and stamina to Pichu´s current level of these, effectivelly making the match fair again.

2. I mean, that's what the profile says.

3. >Large scars, severe burns, deep injuries

> Chip damage

Yeah, no.

4. Pichu still has to hit him with the move to begin with.
 
3: As far I know, he can only use it when healing himself, which is something he can´t spam.

4: He can just use Volt Tackle to get close to him quickly and null prevasion for a moment while doing so, and then use Endeavor.
 
I don't think volt tackle can nullify prevasion. Gunvolt in his original game clashed with another electrokinetic that used a technique similar to flashfield. Gunvolt clashed and nullified his attack.

Also, when you say "Both at 8-C" are you saying AP equalized or both can't use power ups such as Anthem? This matters a lot as Gunvolt is Building+ and Pikachu is Building level. Gunvolt overpowered the other electrokinetic flashfield. If AP isn't equalized, Gunvolt could do the same to Pichu's Volt Tackle. If AP is equalized, they would likely clash and both be knocked back. However, pichu may take recoil damage. Also, food for thought, Gunvolt has spent years fighting a variety of adepts and learning to counter other's powers. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that he could do the same to pichu.
 
1: Pichu can just cancel it and then just absorb the electricity of the flashfield.

There´s also Discharge, which will be useful if GV tries to jump to Pichu with the flashfield, making GV turn like that "other electrokinetic guy".

2: By "Both at 8-C", it basically means that the key used for the characters in this match is 8-C, so no, the stats aren´t equalized, but the gap between them is small enought to not be too relevant to make it too one-sided.

Also, as there is no calc for GV´s feats, it´s safe to just keep it as comparable for now.

Pichu can also increase his speed with Agility and even duplicate himself a bunch of times with Double Team, to make GV have an even bigger problem around, but he likely can just destroy the clones with the flashfield, but it still raises Pichu´s evasion overall and allows him to surprise him.
 
1: True, but Gunvolt has also shown electricity absoption as well. "Ding Ding. Thanks for the whipping. I needed a good recharge." Recharge implying absorbing the electricity.

Also, Discharge (as shown in game) is only a burst of electricity, not a continual projection.

2: Thanks.
 
1: But again, it simply doesn´t work when it´in his same tier or higher, as we can see in that one fight against that one other electric septima...
 
First of all, there's no evidence to support that conclusion. The most likely reason is that there was no reason. Gunvolt gained energy by absorbing electricity ("I needed a good recharge."). The Anthem gave him unlimited energy (amoung other things) as shown by the fact that he couldn't overheat by using his flashfield. So, there was no reason to absorb the electricity. Gunvolt could have just as easily clashed flashfields with Asimov as absorbing the electricity.

Also (speaking of Anthem), are we allowing Gunvolt to use Athem?
 
1: I don´t think so, I mean, he can´t use prevasion while using the flashfield, as even while they clash, if he gets too close, he gets damaged by it.

2: Yes, as Pichu has Endeavor to make it fair.
 
1: You don't think that Gunvolt will realize this and not get too close? He is essentially a mercenary that has worked for QUILL for likely a few to several years.

If Gunvolt has Anthem, then he would revive undamaged and avoid endeavor. Not only that, but now he can't run out of prevasion. I don't believe anything pichu has can harm electricity. Also, the pokedex states that pichu isn't able to properly control electricity and can shock itself. Maintaining a clash with gunvolt for an extended period of time is unlikely due to this.

Also Gunvolt has a large amount of mobility due to Anthem giving him psuedo-flight (in the form of infinite air jumps and dashes).
 
1: He doesn´t have too much experience against other electric users, so there´s the possiblity that he´ll just get too clsoe.

2: Prevasion doesn´t work against other electric moves, again; while Endeavor is a normal type move, GV gets a vulnerability timeframe when damaged, so Pichu can take advantage of it and hit him with Endeavor.

3: Pichu can keep up by using Swift then Thunderbolt, which turns the move into a homing attack of electrified stars.
 
1: His whole fighting style revolves around keeping at a distance.

2: True, but that requires pichu to get pretty damaged, which gunvolt isn't really able to do.

3: We do know moves can combine. But then again, would pichu really have the control needed to not blow up the stars upon electrification? He does hurt himself with his electricity at times. On top of that, would pichu think of this strategy? He is a baby pokemon. While the pokedex does call pikachu a "intellegent pokemon", pichu is a typically younger and more inexperienced than pikachu. On top of this, we don't know if this intellegent for a human , for pokemon, or what the reference is.
 
1: Fine then, still to be kept in mind, however.

2: Anthem would be used right once he is beaten up, by which time Pichu ill surely start gettig tired.

3: Pokémon are known for being smart when it´s about fighting, but as it´s a baby Pokémon, he should be likely comparable to Togepi, but it should be at peak here, which should be comparable to a Pikachu´s..

Taken from Pichu´s profile:

"Intelligence: Above average (Ash's Pikachu knew to ground himself against a Raichu's attack despite receiving no prompting from Ash, and was even able to suggest strategies and improvise moves and tactics while in the middle of a battle. The Pokédex even states that wild Pikachu are fairly intelligent)"
 
There is no timeframe after prevasion where Gunvolt can get hit. Also, that intel is Pikachu, not Pichu. Pichu has no feats like that.
 
There is when he overheats, which is something common against opposing electric attacks.

What Pichu has then, by the way?
 
In that case Pichu will just spam electric attacks at first, be injured by his own attacks regardless of what happens really, and then notice that GV is only effectivelly harmed by electric attacks, and so he starts to use what I said before, just skip the Swift combo I said, as that is a thing ony trained Pokémon are normally known to do.
 
Gunvolt would be able to use split second than start dodging more. Then he'll just shoot Pichu with the Dart Leader than use Flashfield to both attack him and to counter his electric attacks.
