Pikachutwo first appeared in the first Pokémon movie ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' as a product of Mewtwo's cloning machine. He was cloned by a DNA sample retrieved from a [[Poké Ball]] containing Ash's Pikachu, and was released when the machine was destroyed by [[Ash Ketchum]] in his attempts to rescue his Pikachu. He then took part in a large battle, where the clone Pokémon brutally fought their originals for the sake of superiority. Pikachutwo attempted to join, savagely battling Ash's Pikachu to the point of exhaustion. However, Ash's Pikachu refused to fight back, despite Pikachutwo's insistence and attempts to hurt him even when Pikachutwo could only stand when being supported. He was last seen at the end of the movie, flying away with Mewtwo. He played the same role in the movie's remake, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.

Pikachutwo's next appearance was in the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', a sequel to the first movie. The clone Pokémon now had sought refuge from humanity at [[Mount Quena]], a large mountain in the [[Johto]] region. Here he was shown as a figure of authority in the hierarchy of the group of cloned Pokémon, often standing at Mewtwo's side along with Meowth's clone, questioning Mewtwo's actions and offering his opinion on any future plans. He seemed to handle the more military and practical side of the group, whereas the cloned Meowth tended to handle the spiritual and moral factors. Pikachutwo has a much more significant role in this special than he had in the first movie.

When he encountered Ash's Pikachu again he initially reacted violently, blaming him for leading humans to Mount Quena and telling him to "Get out, or [he'll] regret it". Despite Mewtwo's orders to cease, Pikachutwo still launched himself at Ash's Pikachu only to be stopped by Mewtwo just before his attack hit. It was then revealed that Pikachutwo held a lot of resentment towards Ash's Pikachu because he is free to go and do whatever he wants, whereas Pikachutwo and the other clone Pokémon are always forced to hide. He vehemently argued against Mewtwo's proposal of leaving their home and finding somewhere else to hide, and insisted that they must fight for their freedom. The next morning, he lead a breakaway group of clone Pokémon as well as Ash's Pikachu and Meowth to battle the incoming [[Team Rocket]] Combat Unit, but all were defeated by a combination of a paralyzing gun from the leader {{an|Giovanni}}'s helicopter and Poké Balls dropped from blimps from the sky. This was in spite of Ash's Pikachu attempts to save him, blasting away the Poké Ball that was falling towards his clone with his {{m|Thunderbolt}}. This action seemed to soften Pikachutwo's feelings towards Ash's Pikachu, and the two were then seen side by side from that point onward. The encounter forced Mewtwo to act and save the clone Pokémon, leaving their island home and others living there exposed to the cruelties of the Grunts who flew there.
