Why Pachirisu became the world champion

[kaylenvee]

the fact that the dude even brought a Pachirisu plushie with him and raises it in victory is just impeccable.

[AndGoatz]

"And why are you here?"
*"I'm the distraction!" :D*

[MaximeLafreniere]

Even better: That Pachirisu didn't just redirect the attack, HE SURVIVED IT.

[MoistMuddy]

Fun fact: Squirrels can repel and redirect meteor showers which is why the human race has survived this long.

[nickl]

pachirisu also fits the pokemon soul... a small cute pokemon standing up against titans and winning not because of superior stats, but by its trainer knowing his pokemon well and winning by superior tactics.

This pachirisu fanart holding a berry and a meteor its just too cute

[leftybender]

the clip of him sending out pachirisu and the crowd going nuts is my favorite thing of all time

[holykebabempire]

Tyranitar and Salamance: "You can't defeat me"
Garchomp: "I know, but he can."
Pachurisu:

[jaopedrorelesbeles]

One even cooler thing about this last follow me is that Pachirisu survived the draco meteor showing who was the most badass on the field

[jesuschrist]

Pachirisu is that one soldier in the movie who just says "fuck it" and runs headlong through an artillery barrage, then manages to live.

[treedude]

Its still funny to me that pachirisu has become a symbol of competitive pokemon ever since

[flunart]

That Pachirisu was bonkers, I remember watching the streams live with friends and losing our minds out

[jimmymorrison]

Everyone talks about how it survived a draco meteor but nobody is talking about the fact that it first survived a rock slide from tyranitar then took the draco

This is like something you'd see in the anime.
A cute little pokemon holding his own against the powerhouses.

[PaladinJones]

this is one of the reasons why I love Pachirisu, a little guy being able to turn the tides in a big battle.
The other reason is he's super cute and I want to hold and protect him lol

[NocturnalPyro]

Pachirisu has good support moves, Follow Me, Nuzzle, encore, and Super fang for decent damage without great stats.

[jennabedwards]

My favorite thing about pachirisu is that it will pick up random things when you walk around if it’s in your party. It’s like a tiny little thief.

[penguinsrock]

I remember watching this match. I went nuts when Pachirisu not only took that Draco Meteor but survived! He’s one bulky little buddy.

[seantomlinson]

It’s not the size of the Pokémon that matters, it’s how you use it.

[Solitario]

I wish I had even an ounce of this intelligence and skills needed to even enter the championships. The people who make it are so incredibly talented and genius. I’m in awe whenever I see them battle against each other. Always pulling out moves I couldn’t even think of.
