Summary

Pikachu is the iconic Electric-type Pokémon and the most recognized mascot of the Pokémon franchise, first introduced in Generation 1.

Type: Electric

Abilities:

  • Static: The opponent has a 30% chance of being induced with PARALYZE if it uses any move that makes contact with Pikachu.
  • Hidden Ability: Lightning Rod - Pikachu’s Special Attack rises by one level when hit by an Electric-type move.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Pikachu is easily identifiable by its radiant yellow fur, long black-tipped ears, rosy red cheeks, and a tail shaped like a lightning bolt.
  • Its cheerful expression and compact body make it one of the most beloved Pokémon designs.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Pikachu is known for its playful and curious nature.
  • In the wild, Pikachu is often found in forests and grassy plains where it stores electricity in its cheeks to defend itself when necessary.
  • It also forms strong emotional bonds with trainers, famously partnering with Ash Ketchum in the Pokémon anime.

In Battle:

  • Pikachu’s Electric-type moves give it a strong advantage against Water, Flying, and other vulnerable types.
  • Its Hidden Ability, Lightning Rod, provides both defensive and offensive boosts by absorbing Electric-type attacks and raising its Special Attack.

Evolution:

Flavor Text Entries

  • Red: When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.
  • Blue: When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.
  • Yellow: It keeps its tail raised to monitor its surroundings. If you yank its tail, it will try to bite you.
  • Gold: This intelligent Pokémon roasts hard BERRIES with electricity to make them tender enough to eat.

  • Crystal: When it is anger­ ed, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks.
  • Ruby: Whenever PIKACHU comes across something new, it blasts it with a jolt of electricity. If you come across a blackened berry, it’s evidence that this Pokémon mistook the intensity of its charge.
  • Sapphire: This Pokémon has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while PIKACHU sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up.
  • Emerald: It stores electricity in the electric sacs on its cheeks. When it releases pent-up energy in a burst, the electric power is equal to a lightning bolt.
  • Firered: It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs.
  • Leafgreen: When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity can build and cause lightning storms.
  • Diamond: It lives in forests with others. It stores electricity in the pouches on its cheeks.
  • Pearl: If it looses crackling power from the electric pouches on its cheeks, it is being wary.

  • Heartgold: This intelligent Pokémon roasts hard berries with electricity to make them tender enough to eat.

  • Sun: A plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant.
  • Moon: It’s in its nature to store electricity. It feels stressed now and then if it’s unable to fully discharge the electricity.
  • Ultra-Sun: Its nature is to store up electricity. Forests where nests of Pikachu live are dangerous, since the trees are so often struck by lightning.
  • Ultra-Moon: While sleeping, it generates electricity in the sacs in its cheeks. If it’s not getting enough sleep, it will be able to use only weak electricity.
  • Lets-Go-Pikachu: This forest-dwelling Pokémon stores electricity in its cheeks, so you’ll feel a tingly shock if you touch it.
