Notched-ear Pichu (Japanese: ギザみみピチュー Notched-ear Pichu) is a female Pichu. Her physical appearance is no different from an ordinary Pichu, other than the three spikes at the tip of her left ear, hence her name. She is very fond of eating Grepa Berries.
In the anime
The Notched-ear Pichu appeared in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life. 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.
