About this deal
In Charging After Electrike, multiple Pichu were among the Electric-type Pokémon that charged the Prism Tower during a blackout.
Despite this Pokémon's cute appearance, those who want to live with one should prepare to be on the receiving end of its electric jolts.In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Mew transformed into a Pichu during the Aura Guardian Festival tournament.
It is female-only and has three spikes on the tip of its ear, but otherwise looks the same as any other Pichu. In the episode, Lyn's bag was accidentally taken by Bonnie, who had a similar bag with her Dedenne inside; they eventually got their bags and Pokémon back. Pichu may be a combination of ピカピカ pikapika (onomatopoeia for sparkling), チューチュー chūchū (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse), and possibly プチ puchi (petite), as well as being a contraction of Pikachu. Pichu made a cameo in Teddiursa's Picnic in a fantasy of Professor Elm's explanation about Pokémon Eggs to Gold.It is usually found in groups and often touch tails with other Pichu as a show of courage, creating a shower of sparks that can make them cry. Soon thereafter, Gold's own talent as the "hatcher" allowed a powerful Pichu to hatch, with which he was able to defeat the villain and free Celebi from the GS Ball using Raikou's massive electrical power. When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry.
