As a Pokémon expert, I can tell you that Pikachu, the iconic Electric-type Pokémon, is not naturally able to learn the move Surf. Surf is a Water-type move typically associated with Water-type Pokémon. However, in the Pokémon games, there are often ways to teach Pokémon moves they can't learn naturally through a variety of methods such as Move Tutors, Technical Machines (TMs), or leveling up in specific locations.

In the main series games, Pikachu can learn Surf through the use of a special item called a Surf Pseudo Item, which is a one-time use item that allows a Pokémon to learn the move Surf. Additionally, in some games, there are Move Tutors who can teach Pikachu Surf, provided the player has the necessary requirements.

To summarize, while Pikachu cannot learn Surf through leveling up or TMs, there are alternative methods within the games that allow Pikachu to learn this move.
