Pikachu vs Yoshi: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Pikachu
“The Mouse Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 1′4″ (40 cm), 13 lb (6 kg)
Electric-type Pokémon and the face of the franchise. Stores electricity in its red cheeks and releases it as lightning. Fighting well below any recognised weight class.
Yoshi
“T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas” · Nintendo · 1990 · about 5′3″ (160 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
Friendly green dinosaur and Mario’s loyal ride since Super Mario World. Swallows enemies whole with a long tongue and turns them into eggs. Nintendo has never published his measurements.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Pikachu by DQ. Yoshi is 54 kg heavier and controls round one, then instinctively flutter-jumps into a ground-pound on a 40 cm opponent. Stomps are fouls, so the referee disqualifies him while Pikachu, who spent the round Quick Attacking away, gets his hand raised. Pikachu wins by DQ.
Fair fight? Match Pikachu with an opponent near his own 6 kg, or ban Yoshi's flutter-jump so he can't accidentally stomp his way out of a fight he was winning.
