Notched-ear Pichu (Japanese: ギザみみピチュー Notched-ear Pichu) is a female Pichu that will appear in Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime. 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 Grepa Berries. As of now, not much else is known about her, but more information should appear closer to the movie's theatrical release.
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.
In the manga
In the manga adaptation of the movie, Notched-ear Pichu is a wild Pokémon that the characters meet in the distant past. She assists the characters in escaping from the movie's main antagonist.
In the games
She will appear in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and is an event Pokémon obtained in Ilex Forest activated by owning the Pikachu-colored Pichu from the twelfth movie promotion and going to Celebi's shrine, after which she can join the player's party. She has her own unique in-battle and overworld sprites. Notched-Ear Pichu knows the moves Volt Tackle, Swagger, Helping Hand, and Pain Split. Notched-Ear Pichu cannot evolve or be traded outside of Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
