'Pokémon Sun and Moon' players in Japan can get Ash's Pikachu next month
Special versions of Pikachu will soon be made available to "Pokémon Sun and Moon" players in Japan. And recently, developers released a brief trailer showing off one of them.
The Japanese Pokémon Twitter account published a tweet previewing how the version of Pikachu donning the hat worn by Ash will look as it fights.
As WWG pointed out, the new version of Pikachu is specifically shown using the 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt attack, so it should be able to remain effective in battle.
