+{{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}}
-====Major appearances====
+Pikachu appears as the [[player character]] in both [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and its sequel, [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He falls down a mysterious tunnel one day with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, and {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} and ends up in the {{ga|PokéPark}}. There he goes on a quest to save the PokéPark from certain destruction. He later travels to a new PokéPark which is being threatened by the ever-expanding [[Wish Park]]. At the new PokéPark he meets {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, and they help to save the PokéPark from danger.
-=====[[Ash's Pikachu]]=====
-{{Ash}} has a Pikachu that he obtained from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime, which also marked its debut. He was the signature Pokémon of the anime series from the [[original series]] to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' and appeared in almost every non-special episode and every [[Pokémon movie]] released throughout that point. In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', he was revealed to be capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. He always [[Walking Pokémon|remains outside]] of his {{i|Poké Ball}}.
-=====[[Pikachutwo]]=====
+===NPC appearances===
-In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} cloned Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be distinguished from Ash's due to the spikes in the black marks found on the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process. It reappeared in the sequel special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and the remake movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
+* {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
+* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Red}}) who was recently taught how to interact with wild Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day the Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
+* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if one is detected in a Transferred Pokémon game.
+* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
+* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball but is sometimes helped by {{p|Pichu}}. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
+* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, Pokémon Channel focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.
-=====[[Puka]]=====
+===Pokédex entries===
-A Pikachu [[nickname]]d Puka was owned by {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} on {{an|Seafoam Island}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}.

-In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

+Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. All forms except the partner Pikachu are recognized by an in-game Pokédex; partner Pikachu has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref>
-|recruitment=Talk to in [[Baram Town]]
-|protag=1
+====Cosplay Pikachu====
-|P1=My cheeks and tail are what others find attractive! ♡
+[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is the base form of a group of six interchangeable forms exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pikachu who has a black, heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail, obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by dressing up in different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[contest condition]]s ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}); each form also automatically learns a [[move]] that Pikachu otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.
-|P2=I can't take this...
-}}
+Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into {{g|Bank}}, and it does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]], despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

+====Pikachu in a cap====
+[[Pikachu in a cap]] are eight {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, non-interchangeable forms of Pikachu that debuted in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]], and they cannot [[evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry|cries]] differ from that of regular Pikachu.
+Six variants exist in Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the anime's [[original series]] to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. A seventh variant debuted in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
+The original six Pikachu in a cap were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in a cap (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the anime's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]], {{OBP|Jack|Galar}}.

+{{Ash}} has a Pikachu that he obtained from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime, which also marked its debut. He was the signature Pokémon of the anime series from the [[original series]] to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' and appeared in almost every non-special episode and every [[Pokémon movie]] released throughout that point. In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', he was revealed to be capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. He always [[Walking Pokémon|remains outside]] of his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

It reappeared in the sequel special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and the remake movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
-| H.F. Custom cap
-| Flower crown

-Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. All forms except the partner Pikachu are recognized by an in-game Pokédex; partner Pikachu has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref>

-[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is the base form of a group of six interchangeable forms exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pikachu who has a black, heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail, obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by dressing up in different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[contest condition]]s ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}); each form also automatically learns a [[move]] that Pikachu otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

+Pikachu is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] and its sequels. It was the second Pokémon that {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} {{pkmn2|caught}} on his own, but the first he kept.
+Pikachu is one of the few Pokémon in the manga that cannot speak human language. He is the cousin of {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and is considered the smarter of the two.
+In ''[[PM023|Clefairy Evolves... At Last?!]]'', Pikachu evolved into {{p|Raichu}}, but he has since [[Devolution|devolved]] back to the Pikachu stage.

+==In the TCG==
+[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|200px|thumb|Pikachu in the TCG]]
+[[File:GBML Bronze Pikachu Coin.png|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
+{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
+Pikachu manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.
+The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.
+In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.
+Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!}}, where it is given by {{TCG GB|Isaac}} to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].
+==In the TFG==
+Two Pikachu figures have been released.
