In the anime, the Spiky-eared Pichu was shown to be a helpful Pokémon, which can be seen when she freed {{p|Cyndaquil}} by using Iron Tail on the collar that was used to control it. In the ending dedicated to her, however, she was shown to be competitive, as evident when she raced the {{Shiny}} Pichu up a tree and lost, and when she had a eating contest with the Shiny Pichu to see who could eat the most [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]] and won. In that ending theme, she was also shown to be very sensitive, as she was seen crying when she got lost. | |||

If taken to [[Professor Elm]], it is revealed that she has traveled through time with {{p|Celebi}}. Elm claims that he and [[Professor Oak]] were researching the time travel abilities of Celebi, and claims that this Pichu proves his main theory. He adds that the reason it cannot evolve is because it has been time traveling for so long. He then calls all the [[Pokémon Center]] attendants to prevent Spiky-eared Pichu from being used in trades; however, the attendants do not permit it into a trading facility prior to this either. Spiky-eared Pichu is also unable to be transferred through the [[Poké Transfer]] into a [[Generation V]] game due to its past time traveling. | If taken to [[Professor Elm]], it is revealed that she has traveled through time with {{p|Celebi}}.

Spiky-eared Pichu's inability to be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver can be explained as being preventative of trading an alternate form to a game in which it does not appear, as happens in Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver when entering the trade center with {{p|Rotom}} in an appliance, {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme, or {{p|Shaymin}} in its Sky Forme, by returning them to the forms they appeared in Diamond and Pearl. As Spiky-eared Pichu cannot freely change between forms, this explains the need to make her untradeable within Generation IV.

The Spiky-eared Pichu first appeared in ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', where she was seen accompanying {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Pibu]] helping out {{p|Celebi}} in finding the herbs needed to cure {{adv|Giovanni}}'s disease. When several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s tried to stop [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken, Al and Harry]] from helping {{p|Celebi}} under [[Giovanni]]'s orders, they accidentally trampled over the Pichu duo, which causes them to retaliate by shocking the Grunts with a combined electric attack. When Pichu met up with Gold, Gold saw Spiky-eared Pichu and was teasing Pibu about finding a date. | |||
