It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. In [[Alola]], Pikachu will evolve into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. Pikachu has a [[Gigantamax]] form. Pikachu with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve. In {{game|Yellow}}, the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is traded and evolved on another save file. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!]], the player's {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner Pikachu}} will also not evolve, and cannot be traded to become a Raichu. Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and one of [[Nintendo]]'s major mascots. It is also the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}} and Let's Go, Pikachu!. It has made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles. Pikachu is also the starter Pokémon of {{g|Rumble Blast}} and {{g|Rumble World}}. ==Biology== [[File:Pikachu gender difference anime.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu's gender differences in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] Pikachu is a short, chubby {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A female will have a V-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs. [[EP039|The anime]] has shown that wild Pikachu live in groups in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}}. Pikachu communicate amongst themselves using squeaks and tail-shaking as friendly gestures. [[SM091|In the anime]], [[Alola]]n Pikachu are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. Electricity can be used to receive and send messages with each other, as well as other {{t|Electric}} Pokémon species. It raises its tail to check its surroundings and is occasionally struck by lightning in this position. When groups grow, they can inadvertently cause lightning storms. Pikachu forage for {{Berries}}, which it roasts with electricity to make them tender enough to eat. A sure sign that Pikachu inhabits a location is patches of burnt grass. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu|It has been observed]] eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment. By occasion, it can get unintentionally swallowed by {{p|Cramorant}}. While startled, it looks for ways to escape from the latter. [[File:HOME845Go.png|thumb|200px|left|In the mouth of {{p|Cramorant}}]] Pikachu charges itself while sleeping overnight, though stress and a lack of sleep can affect this. It is able to release electric discharges of varying intensity. Pikachu has [[EP030|been known]] to build up energy in its glands, which it will need to discharge to avoid complications. It is also able to release energy through its tail, which acts as a grounding rod, as well as recharging fellow Pikachu with electric shocks. Pikachu and its evolutionary relatives are related to {{p|Pachirisu}}. Pikachu has three {{form|Pikachu|alternate forms}}: the first one, [[Cosplay Pikachu]], appeared exclusively in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is always female, has a black heart-shaped spot at the end of its tail, and can be dressed in any of five outfits corresponding to the five [[Contest conditions]]. The second form is [[Pikachu in a cap]], which debuted as an event-exclusive Pokémon in [[Generation VII]]. It is always male and has eight variants, each wearing one of {{Ash}}'s [[Ash's hat|hats]] from the anime. In addition to these two forms, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media. The last, the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} Pikachu, is the Pokémon the player [[starter Pokémon|starts with]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!]]. This Pikachu can be either gender, has higher base stats, and has access to [[move]]s that normal Pikachu do not. As Gigantamax Pikachu, it becomes larger and chubbier. Its tail becomes longer and becomes capable of storing all of the electricity it generates, causing it to glow a bright yellow and enabling it to become as powerful as a lightning strike. Three red clouds float around the tail. Its power is equal to that of a power plant; however, it is difficult to use it in peoples' homes since Pikachu can only remain in its Gigantamax form for a short time.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-pikachu/ Gigantamax Pikachu | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Pikachu and its [[Pikachu variants|variant]]s have several [[signature move]]s: * Pikachu and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}. * Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}}. * Pikachu in a cap is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. * The partner Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Floaty Fall}}, and {{m|Splishy Splash}}, as well as the partner power {{m|Pika Papow}}. * Gigantamax Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}. Pikachu is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Light Ball]] item. ==In the anime== ===Main series=== [[File:Ash Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] ====Major appearances==== =====[[Ash's Pikachu]]===== {{Ash}} has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime, which also marked its debut. He is the signature Pokémon of the anime series and has appeared in almost every non-special episode and every [[Pokémon movie]] since. 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]]===== 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]]''. =====[[Puka]]===== 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. =====[[Sparky]]===== [[Ritchie]] has a Pikachu nicknamed Sparky, who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head, and, unlike Ash's Pikachu, has no problem with living inside a Poké Ball. =====[[Ashachu]]===== Ash was turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}.

Pika!]]'', under the ownership of [[Frank]]. They reappeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were all summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu. =====[[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]]===== The {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} of the alternate continuity introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' has a Pikachu of his own. Like the Pikachu of the main series, this Pikachu was his first Pokémon and his main partner, almost always remaining outside of his Poké Ball. =====[[Goh's Pikachu]]===== [[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pikachu in [[JN035|''Gotta Catch a'' What?!]]. She, along with a few others of her kind, later evolved into Raichu during the episode. =====[[Captain Pikachu]]===== In [[HZ002]], a Pikachu nicknamed Captain Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Friede]]. =====Other===== In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', several wild Pikachu appear and Ash's Pikachu wants to play with them.

After interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, James later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for it to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor. In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'', a Pikachu was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}}. As a result, [[Team Go-Getters]] set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

In ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', [[Frank]] has multiple Pikachu that would participate in his filmmaking endeavors. In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', multiple Pikachu were summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu, though the prank failed. They were then returned to their original locations with the help of Ash's Pikachu, who coordinated them into Hoopa's portals. In ''[[XY115|Battling at Full Volume!]]'', {{OBP|Jimmy|XY115}}'s Pikachu, nicknamed Spike, was used in a battle against Ash's Pikachu. Since Ash was ill, {{an|Serena}} took his place, unbeknownst to Jimmy and Spike. However, the match was interrupted by Team Rocket, who captured Spike, but Spike was promptly saved. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', [[Pikala]] has multiple Pikachu. One of them was nicknamed Curly, while another that is {{Shiny}} was nicknamed the Boss.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', a Pikachu appeared in two of [[Elijah]]'s movies. {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters}} was featured in a film that Ash and Gary were watching when they were younger.

In ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', [[Abigail]]'s Pikachu, nicknamed Sugar, went missing prior to the events of the episode.

At Last?!]]'', Pikachu evolved into {{p|Raichu}}, but he has since [[Devolution|devolved]] back to the Pikachu stage. {{OBP|Yellow|Pocket Monsters}} has a Pikachu of his own, which debuted in ''[[PM044|The Fake Pikachu!!]]''. ===Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission=== A Pikachu appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PR1|Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission Episode One]]''. ===Pokémon Zensho=== {{Zensho|Satoshi}} caught a Pikachu in [[PZ02]]. It later evolved into a Raichu in [[PZ10]]. {{-}} ==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 {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Card GB2: Here Comes 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. * {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Pikachu|18}} * {{TFG|Black Star Promo}}: {{TFG ID|Black Star Promo|Pikachu|8}} ==Other appearances== [[File:{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Pokkén Pikachu|1=Pokkén Pikachu Libre}}.png|thumb|220px|{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Pikachu in Pokkén Tournament|1=Pikachu Libre in Pokkén Tournament}}]] ===[[Pokkén Tournament]]=== {{main|Pikachu (Pokkén)}} {{main|Pikachu Libre (Pokkén)}} [[Pikachu (Pokkén)|Pikachu]] is a playable character for the arcade fighting game. His moveset includes electrical attacks the species uses in the main games, like {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Electro Ball}}, and {{m|Thunder}}. In Burst form, he can use the Burst Attack Volt Shock Fist. Several of his attacks and victory poses are directly taken from {{wp|Heihachi Mishima|Heihachi}} and {{wp|Kazuya Mishima}}'s movesets from the ''{{wp|Tekken}}'' series. ''Pikachu overwhelms opponents with powerful electric shocks and quick movements.''<ref>[http://www.pokkentournament.com/en-ca/characters/ Pokkén Tournament's official site]</ref> {{OBP|Pikachu Libre|Pokkén Tournament}} was first announced alongside the [[Wii U]] port of the game. She was later released as an additional fighter on the original arcade version. ''Pikachu Libre, a wrestling idol, is a small masked fighter overflowing with fighting spirit.'' ===[[Super Smash Bros.]]=== {{main|Pikachu (Super Smash Bros.)}} ==={{ga|Detective Pikachu}}=== Detective Pikachu stars a {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character|Pikachu}} that is [[Talking Pokemon|capable of speaking the human language]], but only the player character [[Tim Goodman]] is capable of hearing him. Much like {{MTR}} from the anime, he is incapable of using moves that most Pikachu are capable of using. This Pikachu also really loves to drink coffee. Early on in the game, a regular Pikachu also briefly appears. ===[[Lightning Force]]=== [[File:Pikachu Eliana meet.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu and Eliana in the Lightning Force music video]] The Brazilian music video [[Lightning Force]] features a stop motion animated Pikachu. This Pikachu is also shown later as a live action actor with a full-body costume. {{-}} ===Celestial=== [[File:Celestial cover.png|thumb|200px|Single cover for [[Celestial]]]] Pikachu appeared in the music video for [[Celestial]]. It is also featured in the single cover for the song. {{-}} ==Game data== ===As the player=== {{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}} 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. ===NPC appearances=== * {{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. ===Pokédex entries=== {{Dex/Header|type=Electric}} {{Dex/Gen/1|gen=I|reg1=Kanto|num1=025}} {{Dex/Entry2|v=Red|v2=Blue|t2=FFF|entry=When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.}} {{Dex/Entry1|v=Yellow|entry=It keeps its tail raised to monitor its surroundings.

According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Pikachu's design was altered to make animating its actions easier.<ref name=Pokemon.com /> ** Its Gigantamax form is a reference to its original rotund appearance.<ref name=Chunkachu /> * The nation of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin with its coat of arms on one side and Pikachu on the other to promote the Pokémon franchise. * Pikachu and its evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]]. * [[Veronica Taylor]] has said Pikachu is her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. [[Sarah Natochenny]] has as well, shared with {{p|Mew}}. * In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein that helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|pikachurin}}. According to them, it was so named for sharing Pikachu's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects". * {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} has included three Pikachu balloons. "Flying Pikachu" was the first, flown from 2001 to 2005, and was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident involving an {{wp|M&M's}} balloon in the 2005 parade.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/nyregion/23balloon.html?_r=0 Pikachu Soars as Trial Balloon for a Safer Macy's Parade - New York Times]</ref> It was last used in the August 2006 {{pkmn|10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade}} in New York City's {{wp|Bryant Park}}. The second balloon debuted in the 2006 parade, features glowing cheeks, and chases a {{i|Poké Ball}} balloon. The third, introduced in the 2014 parade, wears a green scarf and holds a small, Pikachu-shaped snowman. * Pikachu is the only [[core series]] [[starter Pokémon]] with a pre-evolved form, though {{game|Yellow}} predates {{p|Pichu}} and Pichu is unobtainable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. * According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s. * Pikachu has the most {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[move]]s available to it. ** Additionally, Pikachu is the only Pokemon with two exclusive [[Z-Move]]s. * When starting a [[new game]] in {{game|Yellow}}, Pikachu's front sprite appears with a slightly different [[List of color palettes by index number (Generation I)|color palette]] (the palette index number 0x10) than usual when it is introduced by [[Professor Oak]]. This is the same red/yellow palette used for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}} (except the [[Virtual Console]] Jynx), as well as the battle sprites of all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. ** Due to the color palette used at the start of Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu has red cheeks (in the [[Game Boy Color]]) or pink cheeks (in the [[Super Game Boy]]). However, in this game's normal gameplay, Pikachu has dark orange cheeks instead. * In the Japanese {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]]. * In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pikachu uses its [[cry]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} (voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]]). Before Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it was the only Pokémon to do so in core series games. ** Its battle cry differs from status or Pokédex screens. ** The {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} in Yellow has unique voice clips in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}. ** In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it uses an updated version of its original cry, like other Pokémon. * Pikachu is the only core series starter Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio. * {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black, White}}, {{game3|Black and White|Black 2, and White 2|s 2}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or through an event. * Pikachu was the focus of a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} [[Sleeping Pikachu Collection|collection]] in June 2014. * Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in [[Generation VI]] as well as the only Pokémon to receive more than one stat increase: Defense and Special Defense. * Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: {{g|Pinball}}, {{g|Pinball mini}}, and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}. * Pikachu is the 25th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex}} in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. * Pikachu originally had a second-stage evolution named "Gorochu" (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref name=SiliconEra /> Sugimori stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref> * Pikachu appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess but behaves like a gold general in shogi. ===Origin=== Pikachu's designer, [[Atsuko Nishida]], revealed in an interview that this Pokémon was originally a {{wp|daifuku}}-like creature with ears sticking out. Its black ear tips are remnants of this original concept.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> Nishida named the Pokémon Pikachu "without giving it much thought", and while it wasn't originally intended to be based on a {{wp|mouse}}, [[Game Freak]] CEO [[Satoshi Tajiri]] made the decision to base it on such. During the process of making Pikachu "cuter", as per the instructions of game designer [[Kōji Nishino]], Nishida added cheek pouches for it to store electricity in. These were inspired by {{wp|squirrel}}s, which store food in their cheeks. Pikachu's yellow colouration and lightning bolt-shaped tail were given to express Pikachu's electrical attributes and make its type easier to recognise and understand. According to Nishida, Pikachu's stripes aren't based on anything in particular, and were added to fill the empty space on Pikachu's back, as it is always visible during battle.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra /> Pikachu's [[Gigantamax]] form is a reference to its earlier, more rotund design from [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}.<ref name=Chunkachu>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559317105798811648 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on August 15, 2022.</ref> ====Name origin==== Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of a mouse squeaking).<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/ASIANOW/time/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview2.html TIME - The Ultimate Game Freak]</ref> ==In other languages== {{Other languages|type=Electric|type2=Electric |ja=ピカチュウ ''Pikachu''|jameaning=From {{tt|ピカピカ ''pikapika''|onomatopoeia for sparkling}} and {{tt|チューチュー ''chūchū''|onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse}} |fr=Pikachu|frmeaning=Same as English/Japanese name |es=Pikachu|esmeaning=Same as English/Japanese name |de=Pikachu|demeaning=Same as English/Japanese name |it=Pikachu|itmeaning=Same as English/Japanese name |ko=피카츄 ''Pikachu''|komeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |zh_cmn=皮卡丘 ''Píkǎqiū''|zh_cmnmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |zh_yue=皮卡丘 ''Pikachu''{{tt|*|Games}} 比卡超 ''Béikāchīu''{{tt|*|Pre-Gen VII media}}|zh_yuemeaning=From its Mandarin name paired with the pronunciation of English/Japanese name From the transcription of Japanese name and {{tt|超 ''chīu''|super}} |sq=Pikaçu|sqmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |ar=بيكاتشو ''Bīkātshū''|armeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |az=Pikaçu|azmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |be=Пікачу ''Pikaču''|bemeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |bg=Пикачу ''Pikachu''|bgmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |eo=Pikaĉuo|eomeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |el=Πίκατσου ''Píkatsou''|elmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |he=פיקאצ'ו ''Pikachu''|hemeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |hi=पिकाचू {{tt|*|Detective Pikachu}} पीकाछू ''Pikachu''|himeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |hy=Պիկաչու ''Pikach’u''|hymeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |is=Pikatsjú{{tt|*|only used once on the back of the first movie's DVD release}} Píkatsu{{tt|*|only used once on the back of the third movie's VHS release}}|ismeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |id=Pikacu ({{pkmn|Pocket Monsters}} only)|idmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |ka=პიკაჩუ ''Pikachu''|kameaning=Transcription of Japanese name |lv=Pikaču|lvmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |lt=Pikačiu|ltmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |mk=Пикачу ''Pikachu''|mkmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |mn=Пикачу ''Pikachu''|mnmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |ru=Пикачу ''Pikachu''|rumeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |sr=Pikaču|srmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |th=พิคาชู ''Phikhachu''|thmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |tr=Pikaçu{{tt|*|Only being used in the title of SM091}}|trmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |uk=Пікачу ''Pikachu''|ukmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name }} ==Related articles== <div style="column-count:3;"> * [[Ash's Pikachu]] * [[Ash's Pikachu (EToP)]] * [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]] * [[Red's Pikachu (game)]] * [[Pika]] * [[Chuchu]] * [[Sparky]] * [[Pikachutwo]] * [[Puka]] * [[Shu's Pikachu]] * [[Goh's Pikachu]] * [[Captain Pikachu]] * [[Hazel's Pikachu]] * [[Gold's Pikachu]] * [[Lt.
