Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]. Additionally, they cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. In [[Generation VII]], Cap Pikachu cannot use {{m|Catastropika}}, even if they hold [[Pikanium Z]] and know {{m|Volt Tackle}}, however, they have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. In [[Generation VIII]], Cap Pikachu cannot be given {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}s with {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}, despite Ash's Pikachu being able to Gigantamax.

In American, PAL, and Taiwanese region games, the Pikachu were distributed through a single-use public serial code released via the Pokémon website and in a similar vein to the Japanese event—the Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeems the code. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

The Partner Cap Pikachu debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attend screenings of the twentieth movie. This Pikachu did not come bundled with a Pikashunium Z, but a female Pikachu in the upper right corner of [[Pikachu Valley]] will give the player the [[Z-Crystal]] if they show her one of the Cap Pikachu.

This special Pikachu is based on {{mov|Ash's Pikachu|Ash's Pikachu|20}} as he appeared in ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You]]''. Unlike previous Cap Pikachu, this Pikachu's level corresponds to the 21st anniversary of the [[Pokémon|franchise]] as a whole. The [[Trainer ID number]] is based on the original air date of the movie, July 15, 2017, but unlike other Cap Pikachu, this ID was not adjusted for western releases.

This Pikachu was distributed exclusively for [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] to players who scan a QR Code. The QR code itself can be scanned once the player reaches [[Akala Island]]. Once scanned, the player can pick up the Pikachu from a deliveryman at [[Pikachu Valley]]. Due to a bug, this Pikachu can be {{Shiny}}. Instead of checking its [[personality value]] against the Trainer ID and Secret ID of Pikachu's [[Original Trainer]] to prevent it from having a personality value that would make it Shiny, the game checks against the player's trainer data instead.

This Pikachu has a [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#TSV|TSV]] of 1009, and as long as the player has a TSV that is not 1009, this Pikachu has a chance of being Shiny. If the player's TSV matches the Pikachu and is also 1009, this Pikachu can never be obtained as Shiny for that player. Shiny Partner Cap Pikachu are identical in appearance to normal Pikachu, (aside from playing the typical Shiny sparkle animation upon entering battle), as no Shiny model for Cap Pikachu are programmed into the game.
