Pichu's pink cheek pouches can store small amounts of electricity, and its tiny nose looks like a dot. Pichu is classified as a quadruped, but it can walk easily on its hind legs.


Pichu is a social Pokémon known for its playful and mischievous demeanor. 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. It is inept at storing electricity, and may discharge if amused, startled, or subjected to shock. However, it cannot discharge without being shocked itself. Charging up is more easily done on days of dryness or thunderclouds. The crackling of static electricity generated by Pichu is audible. It can zap an adult human, but will surprise itself if it does. Pichu primarily lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forest}}, though it has also [[PK07|been depicted]] to thrive in urban areas.

====Spiky-eared Pichu====
|family=Baby
[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is a unique form of Pichu exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pichu that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.
|sprite1=172Pichu
 
Spiky-eared Pichu is obtained by activating [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|an in-game event]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.
