Pikachu's Detailed Stats
Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Pikachu's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Pikachu's Nature.
By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Pikachu is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Where to Find Pikachu
If you're looking for where to find Pikachu, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Pikachu in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)
Special Ways to Get Pikachu
Inside of the station in the Meetup Spot in the Wild Area, if there is save data for Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu on the system for the user, you can receive a free Gigantamax-capable Pikachu from someone there. This Gigantamax-capable Pikachu cannot evolve.
