Dumke Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 In the pokemon battle with Red after you beat Erika, i had my ground type out because he had his pikachu, and to my surprise, Pikachu used Surf, one shot my Sandslash. Found a video seems quite old, so i'll assume it's intended. But just for double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethargicus Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hi Dumke! That is not a bug. Pikachu is able to use surfer. If you choosed Pikachu as your starter some guy will teach it to your Pikachu. If you don't have a Pikachu you can find the VM at the same story chapter. Here is a little copy and paste how to get surfer from PRO Wiki: After defeating the 5th gym leader Janine in Fuchsia City you go south towards the beach (Route 19) where you will find the surfer named Victor (note from Lethargicus: This is the guy that will teach your Pikachu surf after defeating him), after defeating him you are able to enter the safari zone north in Fuchsia City for 5k (20 minutes), After entering the Safari you have to go to the house in area 3, which can be entered by going east to area 1, then north to area 2, then south west to area 3. I hope this will help you. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeyyboy Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It isn't a bug. Pikachu learns Surf in this game through an NPC if you start out with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumke Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 You don't find that a little strange? A Pokemon of pure electricity using a water type move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffet Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 As said, this isn't a bug and is based around the event pokemon "surfing pikachu" (also found in card variety, though it's on a surfboard). In addition, such things are not uncommon! Pikachu is not "pure electricity" but more a "mouse that can produce electricity". Other examples of some strange things are that scyther can't learn fly yet tiny birds like spearow and pidgey can. Mawile can learn flamethrower, Aggron can learn ice beam. Finally Rhydon (yes, a rock/ground type) can also learn surf. Feel free to join our IRC Chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumke Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 That is so weirdd. That's what you get for trying to bring logic i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 In the anime, there was a surfing pikachu. Pokemon Yellows Pikachu could be taught surf. Do not contact staff members for private support.

Chameleon Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Pikachu was able to learn Surf in gen 4: https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/pikachu/moves/4 You can't try to bring much logic to these sort of stuff really. Think of how Rhydon gets Surf, Gyara gets Fire Blast, T.bolt etc :Crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
