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.

{{adv|Gold}}, in his desperation, protected an Egg containing the offspring of {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]] from the [[Masked Man]].
