'''Notched-ear Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ギザみみピチュー''' ''Notched-ear Pichu'') is a female {{p|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 Berry|Grepa Berries]]. As of now, not much else is known about her, but more information should appear closer to the movie's theatrical release.
'''Spiky-eared Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ギザみみピチュー''' ''Gizamimi Pichu'') is a {{p|Pichu}}. Its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] is different from the one of an ordinary Pichu, as it has three spikes at the tip of its left ear, hence its name.


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 {{AP|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 games==
===In the core series===
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Double Pichu battle.png|thumb|Spiky-eared Pichu and [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] in a Double Battle]]
Spiky-eared Pichu first appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} as an event Pokémon obtained in [[Ilex Forest]]. If the player interacts with the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] while {{pkmn2|walking}} with a [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]], she will appear and join the player's party. If the player's party is full, they will have to deposit a Pokémon and return to accept her.
 
Spiky-eared Pichu has her own unique in-battle and overworld sprites and cannot evolve or be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver. Aside from her unique sprite, moves, and inability to be traded or evolve, she is nearly identical to a normal Pichu in that her base stats are the same as a normal Pichu's. However, her maximum stats for the [[Pokéathlon]] are different.<!-- The same trend occurs with other Pokémon that share base stats throughout multiple forms, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Arceus}}.--> If a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on her, it will have a spiky ear. {{Shiny}} sprites for Spiky-eared Pichu exist in the coding of the games, although it is impossible to obtain one due to the game assigning the Spiky-eared Pichu a fixed [[personality value]] that is predetermined according to the [[Trainer ID number]] and [[secret ID]]. This ensures that the [[personality value]] will never result in a Shiny nor a male Spiky-eared Pichu.
 
If taken to [[Professor Elm]] in [[New Bark Town]], it is revealed that she has traveled through time with {{p|Celebi}}. Elm claims that he and [[Professor Oak]] were researching the time travel abilities of Celebi, and claims that this Pichu proves his main theory. He adds that the reason she cannot evolve is because she has been time traveling for so long and then calls all the [[Pokémon Center]] attendants to prevent Spiky-eared Pichu from being used in trades; however, the attendants do not permit her into a trading facility prior to this either. Spiky-eared Pichu is also unable to be transferred through the [[Poké Transfer]] into a [[Generation V]] game due to her past time traveling.
<blockquote>Oh! This Pichu needs to stay where it is.
It appears to have traveled through time.
It has been affected by traveling so far through time with Celebi.
It'll be very risky to transfer it, so it's best for Pichu to stay where it is.</blockquote>
 
Spiky-eared Pichu's inability to be traded can be explained as being preventative of trading any alternate form to a game in which the form does not appear, as happens in Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver when entering the trade center with {{p|Rotom}} in an appliance, {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme, or {{p|Shaymin}} in its Sky Forme, by returning them to the forms they appeared in Diamond and Pearl. As Spiky-eared Pichu cannot freely change between forms, this explains the need to make her untradeable within Generation IV.

==In the anime==
[[File:Spiky eared Pichu trailer.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with Spiky-eared Pichu in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Spiky-eared Pichu debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' as [[Damos]]'s friend. It helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Damos' jail cell after they were imprisoned by [[Marcus]].
 
In ''[[PK20|Pikachu's Big Sparking Search]]'', Spiky-eared Pichu and {{p|Smoochum}} were preparing a birthday party for {{p|Bellossom}}.
 
It has an [[Get Fired Up, Spiky-eared Pichu!|ending]] dedicated to it. This ending displays its love for [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].
 
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', Spiky-eared Pichu was one of the Pokémon watching {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Spiky-eared Pichu was shown to be a helpful Pokémon, which can be seen when it freed {{p|Cyndaquil}} by using Iron Tail on the collar that was used to control it. In the ending dedicated to it, however, it was shown to be competitive, as evident when it raced the {{Shiny}} Pichu up a tree and lost, and when it had an eating contest with the Shiny Pichu to see who could eat the most [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]] and won. In that ending theme, it was also shown to be very sensitive, as it was seen crying when it got lost.

* A picture of a [[Pikachu short]] poster that featured Spiky-eared Pichu alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} was leaked several days before this Pokémon was officially revealed.
* It was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview of ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'' when movie director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world."
* Spiky-eared Pichu's sprite in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is in a different pose than that of a normal Pichu, but she retains the two frames that a normal Pichu uses in her animation; thus, she is the only Pokémon to have three animation frames in [[Generation IV]].
* According to [[Shōko Nakagawa]]'s autobiography, the Spiky-eared Pichu was originally going to be a '''White Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ホワイトピチュー''').
* Spiky-eared Pichu was featured in a [[Pokémon Storage System#HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon Storage System]] wallpaper in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The wallpaper must be unlocked by telling [[Primo]] at the [[Violet City]] Pokémon Center custom phrases using the [[easy chat system]]. The phrase for a given wallpaper depends on the player's game, [[Trainer ID]], and game language.
* Spiky-eared Pichu appears as a figure in the [[MC Fourth Generation|fourth generation]] of [[Monster Collection]].
* Spiky-eared Pichu appears as a [[Poké Doll (plush)|Poké Doll]] plush toy.
* Spiky-eared Pichu shares several similarities with {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}'s [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. Both are female-only variants of the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line who were introduced in [[remake]]s. They are both incapable of evolving, breeding, or being transferred to later games. They also both cannot be obtained {{Shiny}}, though Shiny variants exist in the game code for them. They are also both a palette swap in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
* Spiky-eared Pichu is the only Pokémon without a 3D model in the [[core series]] games.
