Cramorant has an ability known as Gulp Missile. This Gulp Missile ability causes the character to bring back something in its mouth following its use of Surf or Dive, which causes the creature to change into its Gorging Form. It is during this time that players can sometimes see this character come back with a Pikachu in its mouth. 

According to the official description of this version for the creature, “This Cramorant has accidentally gotten a Pikachu lodged in its gullet. Cramorant is choking a little, but it isn’t really bothered. The half-swallowed Pikachu is so startled that it isn’t struggling yet, but it’s still looking for a chance to strike back.”

It is not often that you will see Pokemon actively trying to devour each other when you are in the midst of a battle. However, Sword and Shield have taken this idea to the next level with this particular pair.
