Is Ash Pikachu evolved?

No, Ash's Pikachu has never evolved and has repeatedly refused opportunities to become a Raichu, choosing to stay in its current form to prove its strength as a Pikachu, even though it had chances to evolve using Thunder Stones and even gained the Gigantamax ability, notes Screen Rant.
