Pikachu variants: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|needs=variants from ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', images from Snap, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation IV)#Sleeping Pikachu|Onemuri (Sleeping) Pikachu]]}}

There are many '''{{p|Pikachu}} {{pkmn2|variant}}s''' found in the games, anime, manga, and TCG. The following are the main variants besides {{Shiny}} forms and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

'''Surfing Pikachu''' is a Pikachu with a surfboard. With this, it can wield the move {{m|Surf}}.

 

* Surfing on a Pikachu in {{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will result in a different overworld sprite being used.

* The surfing Pikachu was featured in a minigame exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}, called [[Pikachu's Beach]]. This can only be activated in the original editions of the games by transferring a surfing Pikachu from other games. In the [[Virtual Console]] editions, only the starter Pikachu is needed. The Surfin' Dude there apparently also has a surfing Pikachu.

* Though surfing Pikachu isn't explicitly available in the [[Generation III]] games, it can be obtained by evolving the surfing Pichu hatched from an egg received from depositing 1,499 Pokemon into [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].

* Surfing Pikachu have been given out through {{pkmn2|event}} distributions.

* Surfing Pikachu likely inspired the [[Sea Skim]] technique usable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

 

 

* If a Pikachu uses {{m|Surf}} in [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]], [[Pokémon Stadium (English)]], [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], or [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], it will wield a pink surfboard. All of these games have certain requirements to get Surfing Pikachu or at least get a player's Pikachu to learn Surf (except for Colosseum and XD)

** In the Japan-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn Surf.

** In the non-Japanese versions of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with all Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak, not saving the game during the challenge (continues are permitted), and ensures Pikachu participates in the final battle (the Pikachu can come from any [[Generation I]] game), they will be able to teach that Pikachu Surf. This does not occur in the Japanese version of the game (this game is known as Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japanese).

** In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], after defeating Pokétopia Master [[Mysterial]] the player can download a Surfing Pikachu onto a {{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} game from the shop for free. It can be downloaded by multiple games, but no two Pikachu can be downloaded by a single card.

* All of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] know Surf.

* In [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], after 1499 Pokémon are stored the player will receive an Egg with a {{p|Pichu}} that knows {{m|ThunderShock}}, {{m|Charm}} and Surf. This Pichu, of course, can [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Pikachu that knows Surf.

* The surfing Pikachu was also featured in [[Pokémon Dash]] in special courses.

* The surfing Pikachu appeared in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]. By typing in a certain code, a green surfboard is unlocked, which can then be used by Pikachu so he can play [[Gyarados's Aqua Dash]].

[[Puka]] is a Pikachu that seems to be based on this, making its only appearance in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.

 

 

 

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, {{adv|Yellow}} was able to teach {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] the move {{m|Surf}} through the use of {{m|Substitute}} to create a surfboard.

 

In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], one of {{PPM|Red}}'s rivals, {{PPM|Yellow}}, has a Pikachu with surfing skills. In ''[[PM044|The Fake Pikachu!!]]'', he uses it in a battle against Red's Pikachu.

 

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Surfing Pikachu in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

 

{{cardlist/header|Surfing Pikachu|Lightning|char=yes}}

 

The '''20th Anniversary Special Pack: M Slowbro-EX + Surfing Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''20th Anniversary スペシャルパック「メガヤドランEX＋なみのりピカチュウ」''' '''20th Anniversary Special Pack: MYadoranEX + Surfing Pikachu''') was released on the same day as the {{TCG|Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary}} subset, September 16, 2016, in the buildup to the 20th Anniversary of the Japanese TCG. The pack features the Hermit Crab Pokémon {{p|Slowbro}} in both its regular and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} cards, its Spirit Link {{TCG|Item card}}, and a re-imagined version of the {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Surfing Pikachu|28}} promotional card originally released in 1997. All cards feature a layout reminiscent of those from the Original Era. The special pack also comes with 3 {{TCG|Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary}} booster packs.

 

 

[[File:FlyingPikachuWizardsPromo25.jpg|thumb|200px|Flying Pikachu as depicted in the TCG]]

'''Flying Pikachu''' is a Pikachu with balloons. With them, it can wield the move {{m|Fly}}.

 

* The flying Pikachu can be found in the [[Pokéwalker]]'s {{pw|Yellow Forest}}.

* Flying Pikachu likely inspired the [[Sky Dash]] technique usable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

 

* The flying Pikachu appeared in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]. By typing in a certain code, a set of balloons are unlocked, which can then be used by Pikachu so he can play [[Pelipper's Circle Circuit]] and [[Salamence's Air Ace]].

 

 

* A flying Pikachu can be seen in the opening of [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], along with a {{p|Pichu}}.

* A flying Pikachu was added to [[Pokémon GO]] and was available during the GO Fest 2020 Weekly Challenge: Skill event from July 3, 2020 to July 8, 2020. This Pikachu cannot evolve and can be {{Shiny}}.

** Similarly, a flying Pikachu with a 5-shaped balloon was available in Pokémon GO during the Pokémon GO 5th Anniversary event from July 6, 2021 to July 15, 2021. This Pikachu cannot evolve and can be {{Shiny}}.

===[[Pikachu (TCG)#Flying Pikachu|In the TCG]]===

 

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the player will be able to receive a unique female [[Cosplay Pikachu]], which has a black, heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This event occurs after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest]] Spectacular.

This particular Pikachu is able to be dressed up in five different costumes corresponding to each kind of Contest stat ({{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness) and learn exclusive moves which are linked to these stats. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the rightmost back room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}, meaning it cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Raichu}}.

The first six cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and are being distributed in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s [[M20|20th movie]], and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot evolve. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

A seventh Cap Pikachu, wearing the hat Ash wears in [[M20|the twentieth movie]], debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], and is distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In America, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who pre-order tickets for the 20th movie.

An eighth Cap Pikachu, wearing the hat Ash wears in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', debuted in an update of {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}.

====Puka====

As mentioned above, Puka is a Surfing Pikachu that appeared in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. Puka is at least twenty years old, having been first found on a beach on the [[Seafoam Islands]] by surfing enthusiast Victor shortly after he failed to conquer a large wave, "Humunga-Dunga". Puka is noticeably older than any other Pikachu seen in the anime and has blue eyes rather than the regular dark brown eye color.
