Except I never said Pikachu would receive my outside help, I'm just saying Perry can't do anything for effect Pikachu's electricity,Pikachu literally ABSORBS electricity and can get powered up by his attacks.

I've researched both combatants and my conclusion has come to the fact that Perry only has intelligence and weapons working for his favor, and even then Pikachu has greater physical stats including strength, durability,speed by a mile(Including Quick Attack and Agility) and has much better skill and expierence(Yes you are right that Pikachu does do good with Ash's strategies but Pikachu is still the one doing the heavy work in actually DEFEATING the Pokemon, Ash just commands and Pikachu has even helped Ash perfect some strategies in the past as well. Perry frequently struggles against Doof and some of those wins include him being freed by Doof's incompetence due to adding an escape button on his traps.)

His Iron Tail can clash against Korrina's Mega Lucario and has even knocked out Alain's Metagross in the Kalos League so Perry surviving something with that much force is literally impossible considering his best durability feats are at most,Large Building according to VSBW and Pikachu has survived explosions before and has even survived a Hyper Beam without ANY damage.

OK? Pikachu's resisted poison from Roxie's Garbador long enough until the battle was over and took frequent damage from the effects and manage to defeat the Pokemon later on and Pikachu's electricity can still short out Perry's gadgets regardless.

Pikachu has kept up with Pokemon who have Relativistic speeds before like Dugtrio, who can move around the speed of light and Latios' Luster Purge while Perry struggles to dodge cannonballs.

Except Iron Tail and Volt Tackle are moves Pikachu can casually learn while most of Perry's best weapons aren't even on him and his best gadgets usually come with prep time. And don't even try and bring up the "Pokemon can only learn four moves at a time" because that's strictly game mechanics and Pokemon like Drake's Dragonite and Ash's Snorlax can learn move than four moves in the anime.

One last thing, Pikachu has managed to keep up Meowth and defeat him, who also uses gadgets like Perry and still loses so why should Perry be any different, despite being slightly more clever if anything.
