Pichu (Japanese: ピチュー Pichu, German: Pichu, French: Pichu, Korean: 피츄 Pichyu) is an Electric-type Pokémon. First seen in the Generation II games, it can be obtained by breeding a female Pikachu or Raichu with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a Ditto.
Pichu comes with the Ability Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pichu.
Pichu evolves into Pikachu by gaining a level after its Tameness is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Crystal
- It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
- Pokémon Emerald
- It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
Name origin
Pichu's name is a shortening of the name Pikachu to indicate that it is less than Pikachu. Its name, like Pikachu's, 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.
It draws inspiration from mice, squirrels, and various other rodents.
Pichu in Anime
The Pichu Brothers are 2 Pichu that were featured on Pokémon Movie 3 and 5, Pokémon Hosos, and Pokémon Channel. They always get into mischief and also they had fun.
Pichu also appeared in EP179. A whole bunch of them were stealing apples from a girl's apple orchid.
