What is a flying/ surfing Pikachu?

Question

Another dumb question...
Can they fly or swim or something?

Answer 1

Surfing Pikachu is a Pikachu with a surfboard. With this, they are able to wield the move Surf.

• Surfing on a Pikachu in Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions will result in a different overworld sprite being used.
• If a Pikachu uses Surf in Pokémon Stadium (Japanese), Pokémon Stadium (English), Pokémon Stadium 2, Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, or Pokémon Battle Revolution, it will wield a pink surfboard. All of these games have certain requirements to get Surfing Pikachu or at least get a player's Pikachu to learn Surf (with the exception of Colosseum and XD)
• In Pokémon Stadium (Japanese), if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a Pikachu in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn Surf.
• In the non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Stadium (English), if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 Prime Cup with all Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak, not saving the game during the challenge (continues are permitted), and ensures Pikachu participates in the final battle (the Pikachu can come from any Generation I game), they will be able to teach that Pikachu Surf.
• In Pokémon Battle Revolution, after defeating Pokétopia Master Mysterial the player can download a Surfing Pikachu onto a Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver game from the shop for free. It can be downloaded by multiple games, but no two Pikachu can be downloaded by a single card.
• The surfing Pikachu was featured in a minigame exclusive to Pokémon Yellow, called Pikachu's Beach. This can only be activated by transferring a surfing Pikachu from other games. The non-player character who the player talks to apparently also has a surfing Pikachu.
• In the Generation II games, players may receive a surfing Pikachu doll via Mystery Gift; however, this item is very rare.
• All of Lt. Surge's Pikachu and Raichu in Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2 know Surf.
• In Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, after 1499 Pokémon are stored the player will receive an Egg with a Pichu that knows ThunderShock, Charm and Surf. This Pichu, of course, can evolve into a Pikachu that knows Surf.
• A surfing Pikachu can be found in Yellow Forest.

You copied and pasted everything from Bulbapedia, so you could at least put it as the source.

This answer is wrong.

@Crimson1, Yeah, I was in a rush, so I forgot, but I added it in now!
@&Psychic x, How?

I also think this is sort of wrong

Answer 2

Believe it or not, it's real. There is an event pikachu with fly, surf, and a different move. I don't know when the event was started, but I'm pretty sure it's over now. Hopefully this answers your question. Hope I helped!(ish)
