Is Pichu good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Zapping Draw on Ethan's Pichu (Destined Rivals), doing 30 for 0 Energy. The bulkiest version is Ethan's Pichu with 30 HP. 1 version has free retreat, which makes Pichu easy to switch in and out. Watch out for Fighting attackers — that's its weakness.
