Is Ash's pikachu a wild Pokemon if its out of the ball?

Mar. 17, 2017

In the Episode Glory Blaze! Paul just open its pokeball to release chimchar and then in the next episode ash easily caught chimchar which means its wild if its got out of the ball, so does that mean Ash’s pikachu is wild?

Ash’s Pikachu is not wild, because Ash still owns Pikachu’s Pokeball. Pikachu decides to stay out of the Pokeball because he hates being inside of it. That’s been covered multiple times in the anime.

With the logic you’ve given, any Pokémon that’s out of a Pokeball could be caught by another trainer, which isn’t possible. That is, unless the Pokémon is released or the Pokeball is destroyed, like Paul’s Chimchar, or Jessie’s Dustox.
