Puka is at least twenty years old, having been first found by surfing enthusiast {{Ka|Victor}} shortly after he failed to conquer a large wave, "Humunga-Dunga" (Japanese: '''ビッグ・チューズデー''' ''Big Tuesday''). Victor was trying to emulate a feat achieved by his surfing hero [[Jan]] two decades ago. Puka looks noticeably older and larger than [[Ash's Pikachu]], with wrinkles beneath its eyes. Its ears have a different shape, similar to mini-humps, while most Pikachu ears are straight and pointy. Its eyes are blue, while Ash's Pikachu's eyes, as well as most Pikachu eyes, are dark brown. Puka can sense big waves coming to the [[Seafoam Islands]] beach where he lives, causing its eyes to glow. Incidentally, he does not use any {{ | Puka is at least twenty years old, having been first found by surfing enthusiast {{Ka|Victor}} shortly after he failed to conquer a large wave, "Humunga-Dunga" (Japanese: '''ビッグ・チューズデー''' ''Big Tuesday'').

Incidentally, he does not use any {{type|Electric}} attacks throughout the entire episode, even when captured by {{TRT}} (Ash's Pikachu does the attacking). Whether Puka can in fact use any Electric attacks is up for debate, since its cheeks do not spark during the episode either. | ||
Puka is rescued by Victor after Team Rocket's submarine is attacked by a family of angry {{p|Gyarados}}. At that moment, Humunga-Dunga makes its scheduled appearance, twenty years after Victor first fell to it. {{Ash}} and his friends watch from the beach as Victor, with Puka on his surfboard, successfully ride the big wave and plant a flag atop the rock, right next to where Jan first placed his flag after riding the wave. Puka and Victor return to shore to be greeted by Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, as well as by young children looking up to Victor in awe. In a similar fashion to what his hero did after riding the big wave, Victor tells two young surfers, "You can do it, too!". | Puka is rescued by Victor after Team Rocket's submarine is attacked by a family of angry {{p|Gyarados}}.
