[[EP039|The anime]] has shown that wild Pikachu live in groups in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}}. Pikachu communicate amongst themselves using squeaks and tail-shaking as friendly gestures. [[SM091|In the anime]], [[Alola]]n Pikachu are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. Electricity can be used to receive and send messages with each other, as well as other {{t|Electric}} Pokémon species. It raises its tail to check its surroundings and is occasionally struck by lightning in this position. When groups grow, they can inadvertently cause lightning storms. Pikachu forage for {{Berries}}, which it roasts with electricity to make them tender enough to eat. A sure sign that Pikachu inhabits a location is patches of burnt grass. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu|It has been observed]] eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment. By occasion, it can get unintentionally swallowed by {{p|Cramorant}}. While startled, it looks for ways to escape from the latter. | [[EP039|The anime]] has shown that wild Pikachu live in groups in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}}.

Pikachu charges itself while sleeping overnight, though stress and a lack of sleep can affect this. It is able to release electric discharges of varying intensity. Pikachu has [[EP030|been known]] to build up energy in its glands, which it will need to discharge to avoid complications. It is also able to release energy through its tail, which acts as a grounding rod, as well as recharging fellow Pikachu with electric shocks. | Pikachu charges itself while sleeping overnight, though stress and a lack of sleep can affect this.

Pikachu has three [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pikachu|alternate forms]]: the first one, [[Cosplay Pikachu]], appeared exclusively in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is always female, has a black heart-shaped spot at the end of its tail, and can be dressed in any of five outfits corresponding to the five [[Contest conditions]]. The second form is [[Pikachu in a cap]], which debuted as an event-exclusive Pokémon in [[Generation VII]]. It is always male and has eight variants, each wearing one of {{Ash}}'s [[Ash's hat|hats]] from the anime. In addition to these two forms, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media. The last, the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} Pikachu, is the Pokémon the player [[starter Pokémon|starts with]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!]]. This Pikachu can be either gender, has higher base stats, and has access to [[move]]s that normal Pikachu do not. | Pikachu has three [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pikachu|alternate forms]]: the first one, [[Cosplay Pikachu]], appeared exclusively in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
