Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ Pikachū, German: Pikachu, French: Pikachu, Korean: 피카츄 Pikachyu) is an Electric-type Pokémon. It is the starter Pokémon you receive at the beginning of Pokémon Yellow, and is popularly known as the mascot of the Pokémon franchise.

Pikachu comes with the Ability Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pikachu.

Pikachu evolves with exposure to a Thunder Stone into Raichu. It evolves from Pichu when it grows a level and its Tameness is 220 or above.

Name origin

Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか pikapika, which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう chūchū, which is the sound of squeaking.

Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of rodents, such as mice and squirrels. However, Pikachu most remembles the rodent known as the pika.
