Hikari and Pachirisu

Dawn's Pachirisu (Japanese: ヒカリのパチリス Hikari's Pachirisu) was the third Pokémon caught by Dawn in DP019. It is voiced by 西村ちなみ Chinami Nishimura.

Pachirisu has a very hyperactive personality. It loves to have fun with Dawn and her other Pokémon. It also tends to give Dawn a bad hair day by using Discharge. Dawn felt that she had failed Pachirisu as a trainer because of its behaviour and temporarily released it. A while later she realized that she made a mistake and went back to get it only to find that Jessie already had set her sights on the electric squirrel. However it managed to defeat Team Rocket and Dawn recaptured it.

Pachirisu seems to be a bit of a con artist. For a moment it appeared to want to join Jessie and left with her. However this was only to get the spray bottle from her that had the formula in it that would release Dawn and the others from Team Rocket's sticky trap. This also shows that Pachirisu is a lot smarter than it seems.

Attacks used

• Spark
• Sweet Kiss
• Quick Attack
• Discharge

Trivia

Dawni's capture of Pachirisu marks the first time a main character has ever owned an Electric-type Pokémon besides Ash's Pikachu.
