[[File:Spiky eared Pichu trailer.png|thumb|left|220px|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with Spiky-eared Pichu]]
Spiky-eared Pichu debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' as [[Damos]]'s friend. She helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Damos' jail cell after they were imprisoned by [[Marcus]].
In ''[[PK20|Pikachu's Big Sparking Search]]'', Spiky-eared Pichu and {{p|Smoochum}} were preparing a birthday party for {{p|Bellossom}}.
She has an [[Get Fired Up, Spiky-eared Pichu!|ending]] dedicated to her. This ending displays her love for [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', Spiky-eared Pichu was one of the Pokémon watching {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.
===Personality and characteristics===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, 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 an 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.
