Plusle (Japanese: プラスル Prasle) is an Electric-type Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Plusle come with the ability Plus which increases the user's Special Attack when entered into a double battle with an ally that has the ability, Minus.
Biology
Physiology
Plusle and Minun bear a remarkable resemblance to Pichu and Pikachu. They have short tails with flat plus signs on the end of them, while their cheeks are circular with plus signs voided in the middle.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Plusle creates electrical pom-poms and sparks to cheer on its partners.
Plusle's abilities in battle are basically the same as it's cousin Pikachu except that Plusle has more Special Attack power than Pikachu without a Light Ball and slightly faster. However, Plusle is unable to use Volt Tackle and Slam. On the other hand, Plusle gets more support moves than Pikachu, such as Baton Pass, Fake Tears and Copycat.
Behavior
Plusle is a cheerful and supportive Pokémon, always cheering on comrades in battle by using the spark pouches in its cheeks. It is very compassionate towards its friends, since it is known to cry upon witnessing a friend lose a battle. They are commonly referred to as cheerleaders for these actions.

In the anime
Plusle first appeared alongside Minun in A Different Kind of Misty. Both Pokémon were owned by Thatcher, who is responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The same Plusle and Minun appear again in Cheer Pressure, where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.
Elijah used Plusle and Minun as actors in Lights, Camerupt, Action. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Plusle and Minun were setting out to rescue Princess Kirlia from an evil Exploud.
Plusle and Minun also appear as supporting characters in the film Destiny Deoxys, serving as the story's comic relief. The pair helps Tory Lund to overcome his fear of Pokémon.
Solana's Plusle also appears with her each time she herself makes an appearance, except DP071 and the following episode. It is the only one so far not to be seen with a Minun partner.
In the manga
Ruby befriended a Plusle at the Abandoned Ship.
