Compared to Ash's Pikachu, who started off as an inexperienced battler (albeit one with lots of potential) before growing stronger together with his trainer, Captain Pikachu starts its series already a capable battler under the command of a prominent Pokemon Professor (Friede). Also, while Ash's Pikachu was more of a Long-Range Fighter using Thunderbolt and Electroweb, Captain Pikachu is more of a Close-Range Combatant using Thunder Punch and Volt Tackle.
Think if ash pikachu long distance moves are electric moves and capt has lightning rod then ash pikachu only moves that will probably be useful is electro web because of it can maybe trap capt and then use quick attack for soeed and iron tail is no comment
Personally, the difference between Ash's and Cap is that their "strenght and power" are displayed in very unique ways. Ash's strenght is relative, it increases and adjusts itself to the level of the opponent he's facing. Cap's however is absolute. Cap is more consistent and streamlined, to a stagnating default. He won't get better because the plot doesn't demand it. Cap's backstory and demeanor is more alligned to an Adventures manga Pokémon then a standard anime Pokémon.
I wish Friede could have a Z-Ring and a Pikanium Z since his Pikachu knows Volt Tackle. It would be so cool if Captain Pikachu could perform the special Z-Move Catastropika.
Captain Pikachu's known moves are Thunder Punch, Double Team, and Volt Tackle, but what is its 4th/final move? I hope it'll be Tera Blast or at least Fly because I wanna see Friede Terastallize him into a Flying type.
@@treman1 also cap have more experience battling without trainer than ash pikachu, i hate to say this but remember the first episode of DP where ash pikachu running away from team Rocket pokemon while he can just blast them away? Meanwhile cap can do battling without friede on his side, maybe because he have more time as wild pikachu than ash pikachu since we know that he is more older
I don't think Captain Pikachu will ever be strong enough to be stronger than Ash's Pikachu. He would give him a lot of trouble, don't get me wrong. But Ash's Pikachu is training every day although Friede is training very often too. Friede has other things to worry about. Another reason is because of his competition, the Explorers are not even close in strength with the champions and elite four members that Ash has to beat
I'm just here to say I don't give a damn how strong cap is. He's just cool as heck, like a Daddy Pikachu. Man that Pokemon's not even cute. He's a PokeMAN among PokeMONs.
Honestly, Cap's moveset is the only negative point I'd make. Thunder Punch, Thunder Bolt, Volt Tackle and Double Team. I feel like it's Sloppy for Friede to Triple Down on Electric moves. Imo, the Dream moveset at some point in the future would have to be: Volt Tackle, Double Team, Fly, and Surf. Friede is this experienced, confident, and smart Trainer, and Pikachu has proven its Power and as a Team they have proven their strategic style.. but now, Pikachu needs that Diversity in its moves. With the right moves, Captain Pikachu can overcome Ash's Pikachu in battle, but right now, in my opinion, Ash Pikachu would defeat Friede and Captain Pikachu in a 1 on 1 battle! Don't forget, Ash's Pikachu knows how to ground itself to nullify Electric Type Attacks, Like Volt Tackle, and I'm sure it works even better with Thunderbolt, while Iron Tail can counter Thunder Punch, and ElectroWeb can expand to cover all of the Double Team Pikachu's, Trapping the real one, while eliminating the Fakes! Ash's Pikachu Wins!
@@eljordinio7647 But what if Friede has no other option? Maybe Charizard is helping the crew somewhere else, and so far, at the time of me writing this comment, Charizard and Pikachu are his only known Pokémon. What if Amethio has a Ground Type as a 3rd Pokémon, or he's able to make his Ceruledge Tera into a Ground Type? (I know it's confirmed Ghost, but he could change it at some point...) Bottom line, Captain Pikachu needs diversity, and soon. Given that these enemies are not Team Rocket levels of Dumb.. I mean, they utilize a Self-destruct Glalie, and let's not forget, the newest concern (Known to the viewers, not to Friede)... The Shiny 10% Zygarde, who is in fact, Half Ground Type!
ash and his pikachu are one, they both cannot being seperated, if it happen, ash pikachu will struggled the most time, however if you seperated cap and friede, nothing changed that much, both can handle their own obstacle seperately like when friede handling amethio while cap tried to fight and protect our protagonist while he got his life force absorbed, even ash pikachu will lost just like cap in that place,its to brutal, and suprisingly cap is not friede ace pokemon, other than their ages and battle style, the main different between both cap and ash pikachu is their action personality, cap power is his maturity while ash pikachu power is ash himself, also if you give cap to ash, whenever team rocket tried to steal him, he can escape by himself even without ash command, that their difference at least for me
Actually, there is one other explanation we could consider. What if Cap is that clone Pikachu from the 1st movie? Then it would make sense why it's so strong.
Ash's Pikachu should battle Friede's Pikachu and see who wins. I can already tell Ash's Pikachu winning with less struggle. Ash had fought stronger and harder opponents than Captain Pikachu before so its an easy battle.
ash pikachu is stronger because looking at not only the move they was show to have but how they battle as well. as pickachu was show to had an attack all kind of pokemon he battle against his own evolution line before. volt tackle he dig in with iron tail so he won't take much damage he more speed and long distance forces had way to avoid a tried out the options. cap-pikachu is a get close to attach type all his attack would use up his energy making him try to eat up the distance ash-pick could keep him. in summary ash Pikachu will win because he either tired out cap pikachu or outlast him and has more move to to better fight cap with

@@treman1 yup bcoz pokemon company always shows pikachu as star bcoz pikachu is the mascot also, we dont know how strong is cap pikachu before friede meeting liko so, there's no way to compare ash pikachu and cap both are powerful we can only compare if ash returned to anime and thats too not 1epi atleast a season....
What if cap pikchu is ash’s pikchu when ash die and release pikchu and the reason cap pikchu want to fly is because he want to reach heaven and go to ash
Captain is just better in every aspect, Ashes Pikachu is pm just plot armor/device. Cap is just far more competent as well. Like put them in a room with no trainers and Cap is dog walking Ashes Pikachu.

Thats a good way to compare this!!!
I'd say Ash's Pikachu is kind of a mixed fighter since half his moveset is for long distance and half is for close quarters
Those distance moves may give Ash the upper hand
@@treman1 yeah but there's only so much good that long distance fighting can do. Sometimes U have to be able to battle at close quarters
Think if ash pikachu long distance moves are electric moves and capt has lightning rod then ash pikachu only moves that will probably be useful is electro web because of it can maybe trap capt and then use quick attack for soeed and iron tail is no comment

This is a very good observation!
if we ever see Cap and Ash's Pikachu duke it out, it would be one amazing fight
The fight could go either way
I hope one day for Ash and Friede battling with their respective Pikachus. I don't care who wins, it'll be the biggest fan-service in Pokemon to date.
I wish Friede could have a Z-Ring and a Pikanium Z since his Pikachu knows Volt Tackle. It would be so cool if Captain Pikachu could perform the special Z-Move Catastropika.
If they go to Alola and don't get those, it's a big missed opportunity
I hope so it would be really dope
Captain Pikachu's known moves are Thunder Punch, Double Team, and Volt Tackle, but what is its 4th/final move? I hope it'll be Tera Blast or at least Fly because I wanna see Friede Terastallize him into a Flying type.
And considering Cap can actually fly, giving him fly is perfect
Fly would be the perfect move!
I expect Flying Tera with Fly being the 4th move
Also Cap is older than Ash Pikachu
Why? Because his deep voice, its like shiny Pikachu with Josuke Hairstyle who look like adult mafia boss
Yeah cap is much older remember that flashback was years before the series started as well
@@treman1 also cap have more experience battling without trainer than ash pikachu, i hate to say this but remember the first episode of DP where ash pikachu running away from team Rocket pokemon while he can just blast them away?

That’s a great point!
Cap is older though that means more experience and battle IQ
@@michaelmclean5803 you sure? Ash Pikachu has been battling for 25 years with his 10 year old partner

This comment underrated
A year has gone so fast
Love this series it's great hope cap dosent evolve in the future
Same here that would break my heart if he does
@@treman1 I don't think they'll change the mascot. Plus he might even have the gmax factor who knows
Ash's Pikachu and Cap make me glad to be a Pikachu Trainer, and I have won, The Title of Pikachu Master.
He's not bad. Even though I'm still waiting for something I am hoping it will happen but yeah it seems really good so far.
Honestly, Cap's moveset is the only negative point I'd make. Thunder Punch, Thunder Bolt, Volt Tackle and Double Team. I feel like it's Sloppy for Friede to Triple Down on Electric moves. Imo, the Dream moveset at some point in the future would have to be: Volt Tackle, Double Team, Fly, and Surf.

Wooo its been long since youve made a video.
Been a busy month been cooking this one for a while ❤

Captain pikachu solos ash's pikachu with ease.
I think Captain Pikachu is Ash's Pikachu and something terrible happened to Ash. Pikachu wandered around for a while before being found by Friede.
Nope stop with the head cannon
If Cap’s Tera Type isn’t Flying, that would be a huge missed opportunity
Ya man it better be flying Tera that would be sick especially with the episode flying pikachu.
Wild take but captain pikachu is cooler then ashes pikachu 70% of the time cuz ashes pikachu isn’t always serious
Ash Pikachu tank he won’t get a scratch
I feel like Ash comes out on top but would be a great battle
And he is so hot for a pokemon!!!
I bet if he was humanized, he would be the sexy sailor type!
