I don't play this metagame so take my comments with a grain of salt, but with this set and rocks up, Pikachu 2HKOs (at worst) the entirety of the S down to A- rank Pokémon. The exceptions are: physically defensive versions of Doublade, Sliggoo, Roselia and Marshtomp (Brick Break is exclusively for Piloswine so you can slash VS or something in its place), and specially defensive Quillidan. All of those bar Rose/Quil lack reliable recovery.
It probably beats most of the rest of the tier, but I couldn't be bothered to calc them all. In addition, it has a great base 90 speed, and has access to Nasty Plot as well as FakeOut OR Espeed (incompatible with each other), and a few cool coverage options, though there's a lot of compatibility issues.
Eg of Nasty Plot:
