Pichu (Japanese: ピチュー, HepburnPichuu) (PEE-choo[1]) is an Electric-type Baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Pichu are very small, plump, yellow rodent-like Pokémon. It bears a similar appearance to its evolved form Pikachu, but varies in a number of ways. Pichu have diamond-shaped ears on the top of their head, with the edges being black and the interior yellow. Underneath their head is a black pattern, that somewhat resembles a collar. Their tails are completely black, and resemble a small lightning bolt, similar to its evolved forms, which are larger. Pichu also have round, pink sacs on their cheeks, used for storing electricity.

Natural abilities[]

Pichu, like its other forms, is capable of storing electricity in the pink sacs on its cheeks. Being a baby Pokémon, however, Pichu can not store as much electricity as its evolved forms. It will shock itself if any electricity leaks out of its cheeks.

Evolution[]

Pichu evolves into Pikachu by leveling it up with max Friendship. Pikachu then evolves into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone, or Alolan Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone in Alola.

Game info[]

Pichu first appeared in the Generation II games. They were in Gen II by breeding Pikachu or Raichu, until the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where they can be caught in Trophy Garden. They can be bred with Volt Tackle if the mother Pikachu holds a Light Ball.

Sprites[]

Super Smash Bros.[]

Pichu (Super Smash Bros

Pichu's artwork from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Pichu appeared in the game Super Smash Bros. Melee as an unlockable character. It is unlocked by beating event 37 or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. In this game, Pichu has a low attack and light weight, as well as loses health with each attack it makes, making it a rather difficult character to play as. It is a clone character of Pikachu.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pichu again appears in this game, though its status has been dropped from playable character to a trophy. One of Pikachu's alternate costumes was one of Pichu's fewer people thinking that the Pichu evolved into Pikachu.

Pichu returns as a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Much like in Melee, Pichu will lose health with each electric attack it makes.

Appearances[]

Anime[]

The majority of appearances of Pichu in any anime form, have been from the Pichu Brothers. The pair have been featured in episodes of Pokémon Chronicles, animated shorts like Pikachu & Pichu, and Camp Pikachu, and in the game Pokémon Channel. It is rumored that these Pichu's nicknames are Ritchie and Sparky, although this is highly unlikely, since these are wild Pichu and Ritchie and Sparky are actual characters in the anime, Ritchie being Sparky's Trainer.

Pichu's first appearance in the series was in the episode "The Apple Corp", where a group of Pichu were stealing apples from an orchard.

In "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!!" Pichu's brother is kidnapped and Pichu tries to find his brother, but gets caught.

In "Hungry for the Good Life!", there are some Pichu.

In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, a Mew was seen briefly transforming into a Pichu.

A Notched Ear Pichu is supposed to appear in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. She gets the jail keys so Ash and co. can escape. She also frees the other Pokémon. In English, it is called Spiky Eared Pichu.

During "Enter Pikachu", Ash's Pikachu was seen as a Wild Pichu before it met Ash in "Pokémon - I Choose You!".

Manga[]

Pichugoldmanga

Pichu in the Pokémon Adventures Manga.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Gold has an egg that hatched into a Pichu, currently making Gold the owner of the Pichu.

Trivia[]

Spiky-eared Pichu

The Spiky-eared Pichu.

  • Pichu is the only Generation II Pokémon and the first non-Generation I Pokémon to be playable in the Super Smash Bros. series.
  • Pichu is the only Baby Pokémon to be playable in the Super Smash Bros. series.
  • Pichu is the first Baby Pokémon in Pokédex order. Cleffa, Igglybuff and Togepi come directly after.
  • Pichu is one of the easiest Pokémon to catch in Pokémon Ranger along with Seedot and Magikarp with only 1 loop.
  • Pichu is the player character's partner Pokémon in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs.
  • Pichu is shown in the anime to damage itself when it uses electric shocks. In a movie short it is shown to KO the Pichu Brothers. However, an electric shock on a Pichu would not do much damage to it, even if it hurts itself. This was also seen in the Super Smash Bros. series.
  • In the movie Arceus and The Jewel of Life, the Pichu that appeared was the Spiky-eared.
  • Pichu is the only Electric-type Pokémon to learn Present via breeding.
  • Pichu can learn Volt Tackle when it's Level 1 by having a female Pikachu breeding with a male Pikachu, or a Ditto and the male/female Pikachu has to be holding a Light Ball in order to do this.
  • Pichu has three forms, Spiky-eared Pichu, Ukelele Pichu and Pikachu-colored Pichu.
  • Pichu is the first Pokémon character in Super Smash Bros. to not introduce a new type as the Electric-type was already used by Pikachu.
  • Pichu has one of the lowest base stat growth rates of all Pokémon, with its fastest-growing stat, its HP stat, growing at only 1.4 points per level.
    • Pichu, Magikarp, and Feebas are the only Pokémon that can level up twice without increasing any of its stats by more than two points, though the latter two need to have a Speed-lowering nature for that to happen.

Origin[]

Pichu appears to be based on rodents such as mice but may also take inspiration from a rabbit.

Etymology[]

Pichu derived from a shortening of Pikachu, its evolution, so it uses the same words to make up its name as Pikachu does. These words are from two different onomatopoeia found in Japanese, them being pikapika (the sound of electricity sparkling) and chuchu (the sound of a mouse squeaking).
