Base stats side by side

Pikachu is ahead on

• is faster (90 vs 55 base Speed)
• has the higher Sp. Atk (50 vs 45)

Eevee is ahead on

• has more bulk, counting HP, Defense and Sp. Def together (170 vs 125)

This compares base numbers and the type chart; it does not predict a winner. A real battle also depends on level, nature and EVs, the moves each one knows (a Pokémon does not always learn a move of its own type), held items, weather and terrain, and abilities (Pikachu: Static, Lightning Rod; Eevee: Run Away, Adaptability, Anticipation), so either one can come out ahead.

Who moves first?

At Level 50 with 252 Speed EVs, 31 IVs and a neutral nature, Pikachu has 142 Speed and Eevee has 107, so Pikachu moves first when both use moves of the same priority and no item, ability, status or stat change gets in the way.

Electric 1×. Using only its own type, Pikachu hits Eevee for 1× with Electric moves (normal damage).

Eevee (Normal) attacking Pikachu

What hits each one for 2× or more

The multipliers come from the 18×18 type chart; what a Pokémon can actually use depends on the moves it learns.
