In the games
Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always male and cannot evolve. Cap Pikachu cannot use Catastropika, even if they hold Pikanium Z and know Volt Tackle, however, they have access to the exclusive Z-Crystal, Pikashunium Z, and its Z-Move, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.
Distribution
In Japan, the Pikachu were distributed via single-use serial code to those who pre-ordered tickets to the 20th movie, with one code per ticket. The Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeemed the code. The codes only worked on Japanese region games. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.
In American, PAL, and Taiwanese region games, the Pikachu were distributed through a single-use public serial code released via the Pokémon website and in a similar vein to the Japanese event—the Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeems the code. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.
The Partner Cap Pikachu, wearing the hat Ash wears in the twentieth movie, will debut in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In Japan, it will be distributed via QR Code on a special Pokémon Ga-Olé disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, it will be distributed via a QR Code that will be given to those who attend screenings of the 20th movie. This Pikachu does not come bundled with a Pikashunium Z, but a female Pikachu in the upper right corner of Pikachu Valley will give the player the Z-Crystal if they show her one of the Cap Pikachu.
