Pichu (Japanese: ピチュー Pichu) is an Electric-type Pokémon. First seen in the Generation II games, it can be obtained by breeding a female Pikachu or Raichu with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a Ditto.
Pichu comes with the Ability Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pichu.
Pichu evolves into Pikachu by gaining a level after its Tameness is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone
Biology
Physiology
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Pichu is capable of wielding Electrical attack. Since Pichu is only a Baby-staged Pokémon, it will sometimes release electric attacks by accident (usually when startled) and will hurt itself when doing so.
Behavior
Pichu are known for their playfulness. (If that's what you want to call it.) They are mischevious and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They typically live in groups with their evolved forms, but if not, they will form bonds of friendship with other Pokémon in their immediate habitat. (A good example is the Pichu Brothers, who have made friends with several other young Pokémon in the city where they live.)
Habitat
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the animeIn the manga
Gold owns a Pichu which parents are Pika (from Red) and Chuchu (from Yellow)
In the TCGOther appearances
Pichu is a playable character. It can be unlocked by beating event 37 (Legendary Pokémon) or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. As it is very light and electric attacks do damage to itself as well as others, Pichu is considered to be a handicap character.

Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen
- It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
- Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed
- Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
- Pokémon Crystal
- It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
- Pokémon Ruby
- Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this Pokémon.
- Pokémon Sapphire
- When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
- Pokémon Emerald
- It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
- Pokémon Diamond
- The electric pouches on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet.
Game locations
From Generation II onwards, Pichu is able to be obtained by breeding female Pikachu, or a Ditto and a Pikachu, then hatching the resulting egg. It can also (thought very rarely) be found in the wild near the Power Plant or behind the Pokemon Mansion.

By breeding
In Pokémon Emerald, breeding a female Pikachu or Raichu holding a Light Ball will result in a Pichu with Volt Tackle.
By tutoring
Special moves
The egg in Pokémon Box will hatch into a Pichu with Surf.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Pichu will learn Volt Tackle at level 50 if it has at least 333 IQ points, gained by feeding it 48 Yellow Gummis. If this requirement is not met until after level 50, Volt Tackle will still be available at the Move Relearner.

Trivia
Origin
It draws inspiration from mice, squirrels, and various other rodents.
Name origin
Pichu's name is a shortening of the name Pikachu to indicate that it is less than Pikachu. Its name, like Pikachu's, is a combination of ぴかぴか pikapika, which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう chūchū, which is the sound of squeaking.
