Guide
Pikachu is the definition of a glass cannon, a pokemon that can deal lots of damage and has good range and mobility, but at the same time is extremely frail. As a attacker, is fundamental to keep your distance and position yourself properly in a fight to maximize your damage output and avoid recieving as much damage as possible, and even though pikachu can be a 1v9 carry if you so desire, this build is more focused on his AOE skills so you can score easier by dealing heavy damage and stun to anyone who tries to prevent you from doing so, and keep your opponents away using your skills therefore preventing ganks, impeding them from scoring and increasing your longevity.
Start with Thunder Shock to poke your enemies at a safe distance and steal camps, try not to play too agressive, otherwise you'll probably get beaten in long trades and have a bad time.
When you get to level 4, zone your opponents as much as possible and keep them from farming, remember that Thunder and Thunder Shock are your main source of damage, so avoid trading when they are on cooldown.
When you get to level 6 you can be way more aggressive since you have Thunderbolt, try to hit your enemies with Thunder and immediately stun them with Thunderbolt to maximize your damage over time, try to harass them as much as possible, but then again, be careful of your long cooldowns.
In teamfights, disrupt your enemy positioning with your skills and chain CC when possible, aim for agglomerated enemies to increase the likelihood of hitting.
Overall, great build for those who prefer to control the battlefield by keeping enemies away and dealing big AOE damage instead of going all in and be the main source of damage.
