Pikachu with Notched-ear Pichu

The Notched-ear Pichu appeared in the movie Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime. She is very fond of Grepa Berries. In the movie, she gives her friend, Damos, the keys to his cell after he has been imprisoned by Gishin.

She was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview when movie director Kunihiko Yuyama talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world". Then a short clip showed her playing with Pikachu, but she was blocked by a big circle, and all that could be seen were the "notches" on her ear. The same scene was shown again at the end of the official trailer and she was fully visible.
