'''Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ピチュー''' ''Pichuu'') is an {{type|Electric}}-[[Types|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.
  +
  +
===Special abilities===
  +
Pichu have the special ability [[Static]]. This allows for a 30% chance that an opponent will become [[Status effects#Paralysis|paralyzed]] if it lands a physical attack on Pichu.
  +
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 [[Evolutionary Stones#Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]].
  +
  +
==Game info==
  +
Pichu first appeared in the [[Generation II]] games. They were in Gen II through the Mystery Egg obtainable, but also by breeding a Pikachu, until the release of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Version|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]].

[[File:Pichu (Super Smash Bros. Melee Artwork).jpg|thumb|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 less people thinking that the Pichu evolved into Pikachu.{{clr}}

==Appearances==
  +
===Anime===
  +
[[File:Pichu Brothers.jpg|thumb|left|The Pichu Bros.]]
  +
The majority of appearances of Pichu in any [[Pokémon Anime|anime]] form, have been from the [[Pichu Brothers]]. The pair have been featured in episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], animated shorts like [[Pikachu & Pichu (short)|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 (Pokémon)|Sparky]] are actual characters in the anime, Ritchie being Sparky's Trainer.
  +
  +
Pichu's first appearance in the series was in the episode ''[[JE063: The Apple Corp!|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!]]!'' a Pichu's brother is kidnapped and Pichu try's to find her brother, but get caught.
  +
  +
In ''[[DP084: Hungry for the Good Life!|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'', there are some Pichu.
  +
  +
In [[MS008: Pokémon - Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]], a [[Mew (MS008)|Mew]] was seen briefly transforming into a Pichu.
  +
  +
A [[Spikey Eared Pichu|Notched Ear Pichu]] is supposed to appear in ''[[MS012: Pokémon - Arceus and the Jewel of Life|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]].'' She gets the jail keys so [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and co. can escape. She also frees the other Pokémon. In English, it is called Spiky Eared Pichu.

  +

  +

Pichu (Japanese: ピチュー Pichuu) 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.

Special abilities

Pichu have the special ability Static. This allows for a 30% chance that an opponent will become paralyzed if it lands a physical attack on Pichu. 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 Thunderstone.

Game info

Pichu first appeared in the Generation II games. They were in Gen II through the Mystery Egg obtainable, but also by breeding a Pikachu, 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.

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 less people thinking that the Pichu evolved into Pikachu.

Appearances

Anime

Pichu Brothers

The Pichu Bros.

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!! a Pichu's brother is kidnapped and Pichu try's to find her brother, but get 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.
