Pikachu vs Blanka: They combined the Pokemon Anime and the Game. Which should never be done as the Anime doesn't really follow the game's logic. In the Game, Pikachu is literally one of the weakest Pokemon. But in the Anime, he's able to defeat legendaries and absorb electricity.

Not to mention.

"Pikachu vs Blanka? First of all, Blanka may be able to take a beating, but frankly, ANY Pokemon has the durability aspect over him. We're talking about creatures that can survive explosions, being lit on fire, getting cut up by razor sharp leaves, getting swept up by massive waves of water, sub-zero temperatures, roars that distort the fabric of time and space... Blanka does not have superior strength. Pikachu has defeated Regice, a legendary Pokemon with impressively high defence. His volt tackle plows clean through rocks and even large machines. Blanka has never tanked that amount of force. As for the electricity resistance? Electric eels only have about 500 volts in them. Pikachu, on the other hand, has over 100,000 volts in it. WAY above any electric eel. Blanka shrugging them off like it was nothing was, quite frankly, ludicrous."

" Pikachu has over six journeys worth of experience, fighting small but quick, Big and strong, those who can fly, and almost any other kind of combatant you can think of. Surprisingly Pikachu isn't as helpless without Ash as some would think. He's shown to be quite the capable leader as shown in the Pikachu shorts.  He's even acted without Ash's guidance in the middle of some battles. Like when he put his tail in the ground to act as a lighting rod to negate Surge's Raichu's thunder. Or when he used his tail to launch himself out of Drake's Dragonite's Hyper beam. He also caught Harrison's Kacleon's tongue while it was trying to mow him down. So in short Pikachu isn't helpless  when he doesn't have his trainer."
