'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: デオキシス ''Deoxys'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex]] within [[Generation III]].

=Biology=
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of [[wp:DNA|DNA]].

==Physiology==
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance, the main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for it's abdomen. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

The "Attack" form has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Form, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" for faster movement.
===Gender differences===
Deoxys is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Deoxys mostly has the same abilities as {{p|Mewtwo}} and the aforementioned ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys's signature attack is {{M|Psycho Boost}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Deoxys crashed to earth on a stray meteor which was its home.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Deoxys first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to La Rousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As [[Pokémon Emerald]] had not been released when the movie was produced, only its [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], Normal and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's [[Stat#Speed|Speed]] form debuted.

=In the manga=

=In the TCG=
Deoxys first appears in [[EX Deoxys (TCG)|EX Deoxys]].

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When unleashed from a [[Poké Ball]], an Attack Form Deoxys will sometimes appear and unleash a {{M|Hyper Beam}}.

=Trivia=
* The attack form of Deoxys has the highest attack of any Pokémon.
* The speed form of Deoxys has the highest speed of any Pokémon.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
* In Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys's form changes every time its [[Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Form to Attack Form to Defense Form to Speed Form and finally back to Normal Form.
==Origin==
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens. Considering its viral nature and its ability to mutate, not to mention its location on a southern island, it may have been loosely based on the [[Missingno.]] glitch. However, the fact that in its neutral form, its arms spiral in a way that resembles DNA, from which its name is already derived, this suggests that there is a connection there too.
===Name origin===
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''[[wp:DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid]]'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

==Type effectiveness==
Due to [[Wonder Guard (ability)|its ability]], Shedinja is only affected by the types it is weak to - {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Rock}}. Due to its HP, any hit from such a move will knock it out. This means that for Shedinja, the five types mentioned above are one-hit KO's, and the others don't affect it.

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the standard B-button tackle will do one HP damage and Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP.

=Trivia=
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon whose HP (or any stats') IV cannot be determined, due to it always having the same amount of HP. To figure out a Shedinja's HP IV, one must find out the HP IV of the Nincada or Ninjask it came from.
* Despite rumors of Shedinja's presence requiring a Poké Ball, it does not need one. In fact, it creates one, similar to {{pkmn|egg}}s.

==Origin==
It is based on the shed husk that [[wp:cicada|cicada]]s leave behind when they finish their [[wp:metamorphosis|metamorphosis]] into adults.
===Name origin===
Shedinja's name is a combination of ''shed'', casting off of skin or exoskeleton, and ''[[wp:Ninja|ninja]]''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'', casting off skin, and 忍者 ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord. The German name is probably a combination of ''ninja'' and ''tomb''.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] [[Blaze (ability)|Blaze]], which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charizard evolves from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 36.

Charizard is the version mascot of both [[Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed]], appearing on the boxart of both.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to fly at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings,which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes. Its a very powerful pokémon to own, but you have to make sure it likes and obeys you before it evolves, or it can ignore or even attack its trainer. Its Rage attack is nigh unstoppable.

===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires. Charizard flies around in the sky searching for strong opponents. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are.

==Habitat==
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is a valley somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:AG136 022.jpeg|frame|left|Ash's Charizard using {{m|DragonBreath}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]] that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with Lisa in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phoney]]''.

A trainer used a Charizard in the [[Verdanturf Town|Verdanturf]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG051|Come What May]]''.

In ''[[H017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', [[Casey]] had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

Clark used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and [[Ash's Glalie|Glalie]] in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG176|Grating Spaces]]'', [[Delibird (Team Rocket)|Delibird]] gave a [[Jessie]] and [[James]] a Charizard and {{p|Aggron}} (James getting [[James's Aggron|Aggron]] and Jessie getting [[Jessie's Charizard|Charizard]], respectively). However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]].

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], one of [[Green (Special)|Green]]'s main Pokémon is a Charizard, evolved from his {{p|Charmander}}. [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] also has a Charizard in the [[Battle Frontier]] storyline.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ritchie]] has [[Zippo|a Charizard]], which he pitted against Ash's Charizard in their battle in the [[Indigo League]].

In [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]], [[Rald]], the main character's mentor has a Charizard.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Charizard that was originally a Charmander he recieved from Professor Oak.

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Pokéball, Charizard will release a {{m|Flamethrower}} diagonally towards the ground, alternating between the left and right.

====Trophy information====
It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Charizard is a playable pokemon used by [[Red]].

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Charizard is a member of Team A.C.T.

= Trivia =
* Even though Charizard is supposed to evolve from Charmeleon through leveling up, in [[Pokémon Snap]] a Charmeleon evolves by falling into a pit of lava. This may be due to the fact that Snap is more anime-based.
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through HM, but it can't in Red & Blue. This was changed starting with Yellow, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in Red/Blue, by trading one from a Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal version.
* Charizard has the same cry as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

== Origin ==
Charizard resembles the [[wp:European dragon|European dragon]], which had many forms in the legends that described it. It also closely resembles the fabled [[wp:Jersey Devil|Jersey Devil]] from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Although it is a {{t|Fire}}-type [[Pokémon]], it can learn {{t|Dragon}}-type attacks, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

=== Name origin ===
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix commonly used in [[wp:dinosaur|dinosaur]] names.

== In other languages ==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glurak
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Dracaufeu - Effectively translates as ''Fire Dragon''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 리자몽 ''Rijamong'' (Lizamon)
* Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 噴火龍 Pēn Hǔo Lóng ("erupting fire dragon")

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ハッサム ''Hassam'') is a {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of an arrogant trainer who thought he could always win by computer in [[EP140]].

[[Vicious]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{p|Celebi}} in [[Pokémon 4Ever]].

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against [[Ash]] in [[EP269]].

In [[AG129]], Katie used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost despite it having the type advantage.

In [[AG166]], a girl named Luna had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other peoples' Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and when [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle (not to mention saving Scizor's life for that matter).

Its latest appearance was in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'' in the ownership of a woman named Minae. It fought against {{p|Croagunk}} and lost.

=In the manga=
=In the TCG=

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will fly around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of Scyther has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the Kas and Yas Gyms of Dark Town. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

Scyther was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by [[Mewtwo (anime)|Mewtwo]] in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}.

A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]]. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race.

[[Ash]] battled a Scyther during the [[Indigo League]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]''.

[[Tracey]] captured a [[Tracey's Scyther|Scyther]] in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''.

[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against Ash in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''.

A Pokémon Hunter had a Scyther and {{p|Houndoom}} which he had chase after {{p|Celebi}} in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''.

Luna from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' had a Scyther that eventually evolved into a Scizor.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], Scyther is the first Pokémon [[Green (Special)|Green]] received. It has since evolved into {{p|Scizor}}.

[[Bugsy]] is seen with a Scyther in the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff.

=In the TFG=
One Scyther figure has been released.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピカチュウ ''Pikachu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It is the [[starter Pokémon]] one receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Yellow]], and is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

Pikachu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pikachu.

Pikachu evolves with exposure to a {{i|Thunder Stone}} into {{p|Raichu}}. It evolves from {{p|Pichu}} when it grows a level and its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above.

Pikachu is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Yellow]], appearing on the boxart.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
A Pikachu is a ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on its back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.
===Gender differences===
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric discharges of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in [[Pokémon battle|battle]] but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it is often needed to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralysis]], or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}.

==Behavior==
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, yanking on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock or a bite to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite which has been known to leave quite a mark.

==Habitat==
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. In fact, Pikachu have been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

=In the anime=
[[image:pikachu_thunderbolt.jpg|left|frame|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon Movie.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle [[Ash]] was having with the instuctor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named [[Victor]] on [[Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

Ash gets turned into a [[Ashachu|Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named [[Lily (Johto)|Lily]]. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Great Story!]]''. That Pikachu evolved into a Raichu near the end of the episode.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

=In the manga=
A [[Pikachu (PiPiPi)|Pikachu]] is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like [[Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shuu]]'s first Pokémon was a Pikachu he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Getto Da Ze!]]

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].
===Pokémon Special===
Both [[Red (Special)|Red]] and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]] have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is captured by Red.

In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the Viridian Forest and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into Gold's Pichu.

'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.

=In the TFG=
One Pikachu figure has been released.

===[[Super Smash Brothers]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is in the fifth box of the second row.

===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is initially placed to the right of Mario but moves to the bottom row after Luigi is unlocked.

It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

===[[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]]===
Pikachu is currently the only playable Pokémon confirmed to be in the game. It's Final Smash move is confirmed to be {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

=Trivia=
*The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{M|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman's]] signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]].
*Pikachu and Raichu have been in all the regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Pikachu is the smallest [[version mascot]].

==Origin==
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s, such as mice and squirrels. However, Pikachu most resembles the [[wp:lagomorph|lagomorph]] known as the [[wp:pika|pika]].
===Name origin===
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking. It may also be related to [[wp:pika|pika]], a type of rodent.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: レックウザ ''Rayquaza'') is a {{t|Dragon}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Emerald]], it served to end the conflict between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Rayquaza has the [[Abilities|Ability]] {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all effects of [[weather conditions]] on the field when it is in battle.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Emerald]], appearing on the boxart.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
Rayquaza is large, green serpentine creature with rudder-like wings. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and an additional yellow ring in on top of its head. Raquaza has arms with three-fingered hands. Raquaza has long, flat "horns" on its head and two smaller horns below them. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.
===Gender differences===
Rayquaza is genderless.
===Special abilities===
Rayquaza is capable of using various elemental attacks. It is also unable to be affected by weather conditions. Since Rayquaza is a "true" {{t|Dragon}}-type Pokémon, it can know {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Rayquaza lives way up in the [[wp:Ozone layer|ozone layer]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Rayquaza eats water particles in the atmosphere.

=In the anime=
Rayquaza appears in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{p|Deoxys}} because it is seen as invading its territory. It also has a cameo in the opening to the 9th Pokémon movie and is captured by Team Rocket. It is unknown what its current status is.

=In the manga=

=In the TCG=

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|Extremespeed}} to create two tornados that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After the credits roll the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: Rayquaza can be caught in a bonus mission after the credits.

NOTE: When Rayquaza is encountered it is level 70, with the moves {{m|Outrage}}, {{m|Extremespeed}}, {{m|Fly}}, and {{m|Rest}}. The rest of the moves in the list are capable of being learned from the move tutor, which means Rayquaza would naturally learn them if trained from level 5 onward.

=Trivia=
*In terms of relevance to other Pokémon, Rayquaza has similarities to [[wp:Ziz|Ziz]], the Hebrew lord of the sky, when compared to Groudon's [[wp:behemoth|behemoth]] origins and Kyogre's [[wp:leviathan|leviathan]] origins.
*Rayquaza is, as of [[Generation IV]], the tallest legendary Pokémon.
*Rayquaza is one of the very few Pokémon to learn a [[HM]] move by level up.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can learn a HM move through level up.

==Origin==
It is based on [[wp:Chinese dragon|Chinese dragon]]s, or ''lóng''.
===Name origin===
Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''[[wp:ray (geometry)|ray]]'' and ''[[wp:quasar|quasar]]''. Although not present in the Romanization, the katakana for "Rayquaza" contain ''kū'', which can mean ''sky'' (空; this kanji is normally read ''sora'' when not conjugated).

'''Jirachi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ジラーチ ''Jirachi'') is a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Jirachi evolves neither to anything, nor from anything.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Jirachi is a small, white humanoid Pokémon. Jirachi has short, stubby legs like {{P|Cleffa}} and arms that make Jirachi look like it's wearing a long-sleeved shirt. There is a curved line on Jirachi's stomach which, in the anime, conceals a third eye. Jirachi has two yellow streamers on its back. Jirachi appears to be wearing a yellow headdress that resembles a star. Three of the points have a teal-colored tag on them. Jirachi has smooth skin that apparently has the hardness of {{T|steel}}.
===Gender differences===
Jirachi is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Jirachi has the ability to grant wishes and its signature attack is {{M|Doom Desire}}.

==Behavior==
Jirachi spends most of its time asleep and is only awake for seven days once every 1,000 years when a voice of purity sings to it. During this time, Jirachi has the power to grant wishes. It has a child-like personality.

==Habitat==
In the anime, Jirachi hibernates in Forina.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Jirachi's only anime appearance was in [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]. Jirachi will only awaken during the week of the thousand-year comet and if there is a partner that can be its friend. [[Max]] filled that role in the movie. However, [[Butler|The Great Butler]] wanted to use Jirachi's powers to awaken Groudon. It is interesting to note that Jirachi appears to be a masculine Pokémon referred to as "he" in the English dub.

=In the manga=
The seven days Jirachi was awake coincided with the seven days of the opening ceremonies for the [[Battle Frontier]]. At the request of [[Professor Oak]], [[Emerald (Special)|Emerald]] tried to capture Jirachi while he was there. However, [[Guile Hideout]] managed to capture Jirachi first.

=In the TCG=

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: While in the Ruins, one of the slot machine prizes is the chance to capture Jirachi. Jirachi will move around and must be hit three times in 30 seconds for the capture to be successful. There is only one chance per game.

=Trivia=
*It is somewhat similar to the Beanstar from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, being awoken when sung to with a voice of purity.
*In the anime, it is one of the few Pokémon who can talk.
==Origin==
Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that your wish come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about [[wp:Genie|genies]], or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward [[wp:Tanabata|Tanabata]].

===Name origin===
Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for "to desire".

=Trivia=
*It is somewhat similar to the Beanstar from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, being awoken when sung to with a voice of purity.
*In the anime, it is one of the few Pokémon who can talk.
==Origin==
Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that your wish come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about [[wp:Genie|genies]], or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward [[wp:Tanabata|Tanabata]].

===Name origin===
Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for "to desire".

Reedj2003: About the whole breeding deal...

'''Welcome!'''

Hello, TTEchidna, and welcome to Bulbapedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
*[[Bulbapedia:Sandbox|The Sandbox, useful for experimenting]]
*[[Bulbapedia:Manual of style|The Manual of Style]]

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Bulbapedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask me on my talk page, where I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. Again, welcome! --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|TwinsMetsFan]] 18:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

==Re: Thanks for the welcome==
I have responded on my talk page. --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|'''TMF''']] [[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|C]] 04:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

==City/town maps==
Hey. I just saw your map over at [[One Island (town)]] and I think it looks great. This goes along with a point I made at [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Cities and Towns]] (which is now active, BTW), in which I think all of the city maps, including the old GSC ones that already exist, should be replaced with new ones based on your new route maps. Do you think that you'd be up for a task like that? --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|'''TMF''']] [[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|C]] 05:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:Yes. I'll be able to do those as soon as I finish with the ones for all of the routes. And that means doing the articles for the routes, too. It might take a little while though, since I'm starting college next week and need to get settled in, but I'm sure I'll have all of the images ready by the end of the year at the latest. Especially since, hey, I get out for winter break on Thanksgiving.
:That, and these ones'll be a whole lot easier, as I'm not animating them. And there's a lot less than the number of routes. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 05:19, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
::One more comment: when you do get to them (no rush), if you could upload them in the format "(Area name) map.png" (or .gif, etc.) (so, for Goldenrod City, it'd be "Goldenrod City map.png", One Island would be "One Island map.png"), that'd be great. It'd make the coding for the infobox much more easier and would also allow us to automatically add the maps to the infobox without having to edit every article. --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|'''TMF''']] [[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|C]] 19:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Sure thing. Now to just make the articles for the Sevii Cities. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 19:27, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

==Excessive categorisation==
I don't think creating categories that contain only one article is appropriate. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 04:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Its arguable if we even need categories for evolution methods, but if you're going to do it, at least make it more broad: IE - Pokemon that evolve by leveling up with a move, instead of one category for Aipom. Or Pokemon that evolve by leveling up in locations instead of breaking all those up into different categories (especially since I'm sure the Tengan mountains won't be the only place to trigger those evolutions in future generations). --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 06:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

True... I guess I'll do that then. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 07:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

==Thanks!==

Hey! Thanks for the hand with the abilities! [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 06:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
:Right! I'm working on an Excel database right now to control the lists, I think I have some mistakes right now. Also most D/P is not incorporated. I was thinking, how about if for Dual Ab we add below the PKMN the other ability those can have? [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 07:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
::Hm... Possibly. We'd have to make it so it's not confusing, though. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 07:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

:::Great idea for the teams! I was thinking of doing that. But maybe centered and in only one line would look better, don't you think? [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 03:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
::::If we could get the point and stuff across like that, certainly. But I dunno, gimme an example. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 03:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

==User tags==
Kinda surprised you made 'em - I was waiting for some feedback first on those because of the number. Anyway, though, you know user tags are usually best kept in a userbox, done a la <nowiki><div class="userbox"></nowiki>? Just thought it might be a good idea to start telling people about that since there's many more of 'em now... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 14:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== I'm back! ==

Hey. I finally got things straightened out, more or less, over at Wikipedia, so I should have more free time to work with. The only problem is that I'm now a bit out of the loop on what's going on/what's happened here over the past two months. If you could give me an update, that'd be great. --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|'''TMF''']] [[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|Let's Go Mets]] - [[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|Stats]] 01:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks a lot for making that page. I tried making it once, but I just ain´t that good on doing it. After all, I am new in this stuff. [[User:Yukushi wisdom|Yukushi wisdom]] 18:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, sometimes you need to get used to it first... Don't worry, it'll all fall into place eventually. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 08:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

==Merging pages==

The correct way to merge pages is to delete one of the pages to be merged (preferably the newer one or the one with fewer page views), rename the other to the deleted page, restore the deleted revisions, then rename again if required. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

==Thanks for the welcome and the help!==

Hi, i'm new in all this wikipedia stuff so i think this is the way to make a comment (jajaja), here we go ... Thank you VERY much for correct the articles that i made, i speak english well but when i have to write it ... ¬¬ ... xD ... Lets say that i have some problems with the verbs. Thanks for the tips too ! ... See ya

PS: I have to put my signature in every article i made??

--[[User:Blizzard|Blizzard]] 23:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

:No, don't put your signature in the articles you make. That's a bad idea. Put it on talk pages only. You'll know which ones those are. They're... well, like this one.

:And it's sort of the opposite for me. I can type Spanish well, but when I get to speaking, I get all tied up. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

::Jajaja, ok, thanks for the tips--[[User:Blizzard|Blizzard]] 01:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Certainly. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

==Question==

How do you delete pages? [[User:Carnivine|Carnivine]]

:You have to have sysop privileges, I think. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

== Nice job! ==
You've put in a lot of pages today. Congrats!
[[User:Carnivine|Carnivine]]
:Thanks... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

== [[Template:Availability]] and [[Template:Dex]] ==

It might be a good idea to include games like ranger and mystery dungeon... they features game location and ranger, pinball, pinball rs,mystery dungeon, tcg features pokedex. [[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 05:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:However, realize, they're not like the standard games; you can't ''keep'' Pokémon there. A separate, side template would be better, and honestly, with all of the cards named Bulbasaur, it'd be just easier to keep what the Pokédex entry is on the card itself. I included the main games and the battle arena side games because those are, more or less, the game series, while everything else is a side game, separate from the continuity. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 05:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

== Heads Up ==

Just wanted to make you aware of somebody who is messing up a couple pages. There is a user going by the name of Pokemon!Alexander! who changed Domirror's name to Domirroar. I don't know if he's trying to be funny or what. He also struck a couple of days ago, changing Cherinbo to Cherinbobo. I've reverted both of his edits. Just wanted to make you aware, since you said to contact an admin if there's a problem. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 03:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
:I'll be on the lookout. Thanks for giving me a heads-up. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 03:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

== Previews ==

Thanks for the compliment. About the preview button; I use it so rarely on wikipedia, I forgot it was there.--[[User:Tempest115|Tempest115]] 21:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Alot of pokémon, [[Probopass (Pokémon)|Probopass]] for example, have their movesets nicely listed. Also, many pokémon whose movesets have changed with almost every game ([[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]) have an expanded list to reflect this, Those lists would make excellent templates.--[[User:Tempest115|Tempest115]] 17:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

== Fourth Gen. (or Legendaries in general) ==

Do you know which , if any legendary pokémon don't or have set natures? I was looking at ypu user page and i notice that Jirachi and Deoxsys, among others, had no nature listed.--[[User:Tempest115|Tempest115]] 22:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Ignore that.--[[User:Tempest115|Tempest115]] 22:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

== New Character Catergory Idea ==

Um, you know how some characters are named after real-world pokémon staff, right? [[Ash Ketchum|Satoshi]], [[Gary Oak|Shigeru]] and [[Imakuni?]] to name a few. I suggest we make a new catergory -- characters named after real people. I understand the issue could be... complicated, so I thought I'd put it to one of the big cheeses here first ^_^ [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 08:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm... Seems like it'd be plausible. How many of those do we have, exactly? If it's something like ten, I'd say that it'd make a good category. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
::Ok, let's see...
*[[Ash Ketchum|Satoshi]] = [[Satoshi Tajiri]]
*[[Gary Oak|Shigeru]] = [[wp:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]]
*[[Ritchie|Hiroshi]] = [[wp:Hiroshi Yamauchi|Hiroshi Yamauchi]]
*[[Vincent|Jun'ichi]] = [[Jun'ichi Masuda]]
*[[Dr. Mason|Dr. Ooyama]] = [[Kouichi Ooyama]]
*[[Ishihara]] = [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=12127 Tsunekazu Ishihara]
*[[Imakuni?|Tomoaki Imakuni]] = Imakuni?
That's seven. I don't know of any more... will it be enough? [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 05:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, we do have categories with less... So I'd say go right ahead with it. Just make sure the category is named well. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Uh, yes... how do you create a new catergory, exactly? ^^; [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 07:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, first off, it's spelled "Category", not "catergory", and essentially, you just type in, at the end of the pages which you want to categorize, "<nowiki>[[Category:(category name)]]</nowiki>". Then, of course, you click on the red link that appears in the categories section of that page, and you're instantly at the page titled in that category.

For example, when I was categorizing the Pokémon by their evolution family, for, oh, say, {{p|Arcanine}}, I typed in <nowiki>[[Category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line]]</nowiki> in there. Pressing the preview button, it displayed a red link at the bottom which led to the then-blank page [[:Category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|for that category]]. Editing it, and of course then categorizing the category under [[:Category:Pokémon by evolutionary line]] (it's not often anymore that we'll have a new top-level category-- all of them fit somewhere), I was finished.

Bear in mind, I did this between Firefox tabs. I always do it that way, just opening the category in a new tab and editing it while I keep working on the article. Then there are never any red links... though I do sometimes open up like eight tabs simultaneously through editing ONE article...

Heck, right in the middle of typing this, I got inspired to make user [[:Category:browser tags|browser tags]]...

...anyway! Um, any other questions, well, I'm glad to help. But for now, I sleep. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 08:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks for helping me ==

Thanks for looking out for all the users out there, and thanks for helping me.

Conor

== jeez is it like that here too? ==

I added some info as to a scientific explaination fro luxrays xray vsion.. After had evolving my luxio and seeing the pokedex entry for luxray, i was curious as to how that would work. I studied for close to two hours and this is how i think it would (most likely) work. I put it at wikipedia first but they took it off and said to put it here. So in conclusion WTF? Not angry or anything like that though, unless your just being an ass but there's probably a reason you took it off. --[[User:Dekubobo|Dekubobo]] 18:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:Well, it's a little bit on the fact that it's a bit too in-depth on x-ray radiation, not Luxray itself, which is what the article's on. Sure, it's good material for writing an explanation on how x-ray vision works, but that's not Luxray's only ability. Believe me, once we see that thing in the anime (and we will as some CotD's Pokémon, trust me), we'll get a wealth of new information on it.

:Though I will admit your information on how Luxray would have x-ray vision biologically could be a nice addition to [[wp:x-ray vision|this Wikipedia article]], if you generalized it to ''anything'' that could see like that. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for clerifying that for me. It makes sense anyway that the information should have some relation to the actual character itself. --[[User:Dekubobo|Dekubobo]] 15:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, yes, quite so. Glad to help. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:17, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

== Pokédex Problem ==

Was editing pokedex entries for pearl version. I noticed inconsistencies with Height, Species, and Weight, as well as the actual pokédex entry. I posted on the [[Bulbapedia talk:Manual of style]] about it. I know the Uk version is not out yet, so it may be that previous contributors translated Japanese information. --[[User:Dekubobo|Dekubobo]] 15:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

== Archives ==

My PC keeps coming up with the message that says you are forbiden, how do you stop this?
:First off, it's good to sign your comments with four tildes in a row (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). That way I know instantly who left the message.

:Anyway, is it your computer saying you're forbidden, your browser, or the archives itself? Because if you just click on the upload file link right now and don't have an account on the archives, then of course you can't upload, and it'll say you're forbidden. You have to sign up again on the archives wiki (we really oughta have some sort of interconnecting system, but I dunno how we would), then log in over there as well as over here. Then you can upload files. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:38, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

== Animated Maps ==

If you're willing to share your resources I'd really appreciate it, it has to be better than drawing the highlights by hand!

== I really don't understand what I did wrong here ==

Unless there's some hidden rule I don't know about, I really don't see what the problem is with http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Flower_Gift_%28ability%29&diff=139818&oldid=128555 this made, I thought it added to the article.

Plus that comment in the revision statement was really damn rude. [[User:Toastypk|Toastypk]] 17:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
: Because first, you didn't use the link template that we use for all Pokémon species links. Who knows if Dawn, Ash, or any main character'll get a Cherrim one day, and [[Cherrim]] will stop being a redirect, and end up like [[Munchlax]]? Second, it's listed below the initial description what Pokémon has the ability. We don't say "Only Rayquaza has Air Lock" on the article on {{a|Air Lock}}, because if you scroll down, it's obvious.

== Apologies ==

Hehe, apparently I wasn't supposed to have that "bulbapedia staff" userbox. Might I mention how confusing that userbox is? In general terminology, anyone who edits a Wiki is, in fact, an "editor" (just perhaps not in the professional sense). When I found the userbox in the userboxes category, I assumed the userbox represented anyone who edited this wiki, and thus added it to my page. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 10:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, it's confusing, but eh, what're you gonna do? We're basically the editor's editors, we watch the recent changes for any... ugh, horrid grammar floating there, can't tell you how often I find that on pages... or pages just made of it and without categories... It breaks my heart.

:Just make sure you check the title, though. It ''is'' [[Template:User Bulbapedia staff]], anyway. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, at the time I was in a userbox rampage... I just noticed the link on the word "editor" only yesterday. Apparently I'm blind. :P
::Oh, but don't get me started on horrid grammar. I run into that way to often. But at the very least, it gives the rest of the editors something to do. Just sit there and keep an eye on Recent Changes. Doing searches for common "chatspeak" might bring up a few pages as well. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 23:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Sadly, yes... We can't contribute as much to adding content if we have to constantly improve the quality. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:34, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

::::Well true, but at the same time, this just gives others more chances to contribute. Not everyone has new information to contribute, but they're still good editors; they can put their coding expertise and whatnot to good use by fixing up submissions by editors that ''do'' have information, but perhaps aren't quite as good with editing. Research isn't one of my strong points, for example, but I'm always finding articles to clean up. If people stopped making mistakes, I'd probably be pretty bored on here. :D -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 01:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely true. But of course, then we'd have more time to clean up the already lengthening list of [[:category:articles needing improvement|articles needing improvement]], and maybe begin actual development of our walkthroughs... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

:Another good point. Simply an issue of more mistakes being made then mistakes being corrected... I'm not on here as often as I could be, but I'll try myself to start working over the stub and articles needing cleanup. I suppose my above point is entirely dependant on there actually being enough "cleanup editors" to balance out the "messy editors". -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 07:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

:P.S.: Unrelated question, while I'm still here... I noticed your signature uses a inter-wiki link to go to your Wikipedia page, via "WP:" in front of the link. Does Bulbapedia have a code along the same lines? I never quite understood how that worked. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 07:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

::Yes indeed... Sadly. Starting Project Cleanup would help a bit... but we gotta find willing <s>victims</s> volunteers.

::And it's not to my page, it's just to... well, echidnas. They rule. And yes, the <nowiki>[[wp:whatever]]</nowiki> links to whatever article you want on Wikipedia, you just gotta remember to use the pipe so that it doesn't appear as wp:whatever in the text, and just as whatever. After all, I wanna say that [[wp:echidna|echidna]]s are awesome, not [[wp:echidna]]s are awesome. There's a de, jp, and pl thing, too, to link to PokéWiki, Pokémon Wiki, and Wikinezka articles as well, but you have to have a colon in front as well as after the letters, as if you were linking to a category (instead of putting an article in a category) or linking an image as text. [[:Image:Yesface.jpg|Like this!]] Otherwise it'll end up as a sidebar link, and you don't want that. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

:::Will any wiki with a "wp:" code work on any other wiki? For example, the other wiki I <s>use</s> live on is GuildWiki. We use "gw:" to link there. Would a link of that sort actually work from here as well? And what letters would someone use to link back to Bulbapedia? "bp:" or something of the sort, I suppose...
:::And yes, I've already got a bit of experence with piping (if that's even a term). Another trick to avoid your link coming out like [[wp:Main Page]] would be to simply type <nowiki>[[wp:Main Page|]]</nowiki>. The coding will automatically fill in the blank spot, making that link appear like this: [[wp:Main Page|Main Page]]. In some situations where you don't want to use excessively long coding, or when you need to quickly convert a wiki-link to a inter-wiki-link, simply adding the "|" in there is a lot easier then typing the entire link twice over. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 08:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

::::Depends on how it's set up. I know for a fact that the HRWiki actually uses wikipedia: to link there, not wp:. It really depends on what prefix the administrator(s) put into use for cross-wiki linking, and gw: doesn't work here, I tried it. If there was a reason to link to them, though, talking to Zhen would be the idea. He's the one in charge.
::::And yep, I use that often. Too bad the Safari Zones aren't like that, though... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

What is it that you want to hear me say? I have no idea what you're talking about. [[User:Lex|Lex]] 04:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Nope, still clueless. I generally avoid YTMND. Maybe you have me confused with someone? [[User:Lex|Lex]] 20:24, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah. Cute. No, my username is not related to Lex Luthor, and I didn't watch that particular movie (or any Superman movies in many years). [[User:Lex|Lex]] 21:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, there are just so many categories, I wouldn't know where to put it, also, I don't know how to do it.....

== Question ==

Would you mind if I used the format you used for your team roster? I like the way you did and I'm not very expereinced with coding, so if you wouldn't mind I would appreciate it. Oh, and thanks for your support with my Emerald question about the stub. [[User:Kochdude388|Kochdude388]] 16:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

:I went ahead and used the same basic outline for the team list, though I changed a couple things.

What did I misspell?[[User:Pipoleon|Pip]] 22:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
:{{p|Kecleon}}. You also didn't capitalize "{{t|Flying}}" or use the {{template|a}} [[:category:link templates|link template]], which is what we use to link to abilities.

I know there's no breeding within the RBY series. I'm merely taking into consideration the compatibility between the six games of the two generations. That's why I set up the tables for breeding like that. --[[User:Reedj2003|'''ZCD''']][[User talk:Reedj2003|T]]

''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=

Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the Kas and Yas Gyms of Dark Town. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

Scyther was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by [[Mewtwo (anime)|Mewtwo]] in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}.

A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]]. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race.

[[Ash]] battled a Scyther during the [[Indigo League]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]''.

[[Tracey]] captured a [[Tracey's Scyther|Scyther]] in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''.

[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against Ash in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''.

A Pokémon Hunter had a Scyther and {{p|Houndoom}} which he had chase after {{p|Celebi}} in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''.

Luna from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' had a Scyther that eventually evolved into a Scizor.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], Scyther is the first Pokémon [[Green (Special)|Green]] received. It has since evolved into {{p|Scizor}}.

[[Bugsy]] is seen with a Scyther in the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff.

=In the TFG=
One Scyther figure has been released.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Scyther stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|Pinsir}} called "Clear Cut Challenge." Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game. The score for each player is determined by how close you are to the white line on the log. Cutting anywhere above the log will cause you to lose points.
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses two Scyther to back up his {{p|Scizor}}.

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green''), is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]] and is the main character's rival in the [[Generation I]] games. Blue becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] but is quickly defeated by [[Red (game)|Red]]/[[Leaf (game)|Leaf]], the player's character. In the [[Generation II]] games, he becomes the somber [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]], notable for being the only Gym Leader in the games to not focus on one specific [[type]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Earth Badge|Earth Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He often goes out of [[Viridian City]], which causes problems for challenging trainers, as he's rarely found in his [[Viridian Gym|Gym]].

Blue is differentiated from Red/Leaf by [[Professor Oak]]'s notion at the end of the [[Generation I]] games and [[Generation III]] remakes that Red/Leaf cares for Pokémon better than Blue does. This is also evident as Blue leaves the [[Silph Co.]] building while it's still under [[Team Rocket]]'s control, leaving Red/Leaf to take out [[Giovanni]].

He is notable for being cocky and arrogant whenever the player's character encounters him; after losing, his typical way to bid goodbye is "Smell ya later!"

==Trivia==
[[Gary Oak]] from the anime was designed after Blue. Furthermore, Gary's name comes from one of the optional names for Blue. That caused many fans to mistake Blue for his anime counterpart. However, they are not the same characters and mixing them is always considered a grave error. There are also many fans that believe that the rival from [[Pokémon Yellow]] game is Gary. This is also untrue. The rival in Yellow is still Blue but slightly redesigned to look closer to Gary.

Similarly, the notion of Blue as a League Champion or Gym Leader was never mentioned in the anime. This is probably because of the deviation in storyline--neither Ash or Gary are able to champion the [[Pokémon League]], whereas their game counterpoints both become champions, at least temporarily.

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green''), is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]] and is the main character's rival in the [[Generation I]] games. Blue becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] but is quickly defeated by [[Red (game)|Red]]/[[Leaf (game)|Leaf]], the player's character. In the [[Generation II]] games, he becomes the somber [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]], notable for being the only Gym Leader in the games to not focus on one specific [[type]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Earth Badge|Earth Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He often goes out of [[Viridian City]], which causes problems for challenging trainers, as he's rarely found in his [[Viridian Gym|Gym]].

Blue is differentiated from Red/Leaf by [[Professor Oak]]'s notion at the end of the [[Generation I]] games and [[Generation III]] remakes that Red/Leaf cares for Pokémon better than Blue does. This is also evident as Blue leaves the [[Silph Co.]] building while it's still under [[Team Rocket]]'s control, leaving Red/Leaf to take out [[Giovanni]].

He is notable for being cocky and arrogant whenever the player's character encounters him; after losing, his typical way to bid goodbye is "Smell ya later!"

==Trivia==
[[Gary Oak]] from the anime was designed after Blue. Furthermore, Gary's name comes from one of the optional names for Blue. That caused many fans to mistake Blue for his anime counterpart. However, they are not the same characters and mixing them is always considered a grave error. There are also many fans that believe that the rival from [[Pokémon Yellow]] game is Gary. This is also untrue. The rival in Yellow is still Blue but slightly redesigned to look closer to Gary.

Similarly, the notion of Blue as a League Champion or Gym Leader was never mentioned in the anime. This is probably because of the deviation in storyline--neither Ash or Gary are able to champion the [[Pokémon League]], whereas their game counterpoints both become champions, at least temporarily.

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green''), is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]] and is the main character's rival in the [[Generation I]] games. Blue becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] but is quickly defeated by [[Red (game)|Red]]/[[Leaf (game)|Leaf]], the player's character. In the [[Generation II]] games, he becomes the somber [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]], notable for being the only Gym Leader in the games to not focus on one specific [[type]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Earth Badge|Earth Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He often goes out of [[Viridian City]], which causes problems for challenging trainers, as he's rarely found in his [[Viridian Gym|Gym]].

Blue is differentiated from Red/Leaf by [[Professor Oak]]'s notion at the end of the [[Generation I]] games and [[Generation III]] remakes that Red/Leaf cares for Pokémon better than Blue does. This is also evident as Blue leaves the [[Silph Co.]] building while it's still under [[Team Rocket]]'s control, leaving Red/Leaf to take out [[Giovanni]].

He is notable for being cocky and arrogant whenever the player's character encounters him; after losing, his typical way to bid goodbye is "Smell ya later!"

==Trivia==
[[Gary Oak]] from the anime was designed after Blue. Furthermore, Gary's name comes from one of the optional names for Blue. That caused many fans to mistake Blue for his anime counterpart. However, they are not the same characters and mixing them is always considered a grave error. There are also many fans that believe that the rival from [[Pokémon Yellow]] game is Gary. This is also untrue. The rival in Yellow is still Blue but slightly redesigned to look closer to Gary.

Similarly, the notion of Blue as a League Champion or Gym Leader was never mentioned in the anime. This is probably because of the deviation in storyline--neither Ash or Gary are able to champion the [[Pokémon League]], whereas their game counterpoints both become champions, at least temporarily.

|yellowdex=When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.

|crystaldex=If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
|stadium2dex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|rubydex=If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
|sapphiredex=This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|gen=1
|type=electric
|redbluedex=Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
|yellowdex=When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
|stadiumdex=Its electrical attacks may reach 10,000 volts. It discharges electricity from its tail, so it is not harmed by its own power.
|golddex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|silverdex=If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
|crystaldex=If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
|stadium2dex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|rubydex=If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
|sapphiredex=This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
|emeralddex=If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
|firereddex=Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an [[wp:Indian Elephant|Indian elephant]] to faint.
|leafgreendex=Its long tail serves as ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
|diamonddex=It turns agressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピカチュウ ''Pikachu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It is the [[starter Pokémon]] one receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Yellow]], and is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

Pikachu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pikachu.

Pikachu evolves with exposure to a {{i|Thunder Stone}} into {{p|Raichu}}. It evolves from {{p|Pichu}} when it grows a level and its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above.

Pikachu is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Yellow]], appearing on the boxart.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
A Pikachu is a ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on its back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.
===Gender differences===
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric discharges of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in [[Pokémon battle|battle]] but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it is often needed to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralysis]], or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}.

==Behavior==
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, yanking on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock or a bite to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite which has been known to leave quite a mark.

==Habitat==
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. In fact, Pikachu have been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

=In the anime=
[[image:pikachu_thunderbolt.jpg|left|frame|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon Movie.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle [[Ash]] was having with the instuctor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named [[Victor]] on [[Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

Ash gets turned into a [[Ashachu|Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named [[Lily (Johto)|Lily]]. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Great Story!]]''. That Pikachu evolved into a Raichu near the end of the episode.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

=In the manga=
A [[Pikachu (PiPiPi)|Pikachu]] is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like [[Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shuu]]'s first Pokémon was a Pikachu he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Getto Da Ze!]]

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].
===Pokémon Special===
Both [[Red (Special)|Red]] and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]] have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is captured by Red.

In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the Viridian Forest and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokemon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into Gold's Pichu.

'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.

=In the TFG=
One Pikachu figure has been released.

=Trivia=
*The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{M|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman's]] signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]].
*Pikachu and Raichu have been in all the regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Pikachu is the smallest [[version mascot]].

==Origin==
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s, such as mice and squirrels. However, Pikachu most resembles the [[wp:lagomorph|lagomorph]] known as the [[wp:pika|pika]].
===Name origin===
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking. It may also be related to [[wp:pika|pika]], a type of rodent.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピカチュウ ''Pikachu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It is the [[starter Pokémon]] one receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Yellow]], and is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

Pikachu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pikachu.

Pikachu evolves with exposure to a {{i|Thunder Stone}} into {{p|Raichu}}. It evolves from {{p|Pichu}} when it grows a level and its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above.

Pikachu is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Yellow]], appearing on the boxart.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
A Pikachu is a ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on its back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.
===Gender differences===
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric discharges of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in [[Pokémon battle|battle]] but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it is often needed to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralysis]], or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}.

==Behavior==
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, yanking on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock or a bite to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite which has been known to leave quite a mark.

==Habitat==
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. In fact, Pikachu have been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

=In the anime=
[[image:pikachu_thunderbolt.jpg|left|frame|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon Movie.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle [[Ash]] was having with the instuctor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named [[Victor]] on [[Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

Ash gets turned into a [[Ashachu|Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named [[Lily (Johto)|Lily]]. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Great Story!]]''. That Pikachu evolved into a Raichu near the end of the episode.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

=In the manga=
A [[Pikachu (PiPiPi)|Pikachu]] is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like [[Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shuu]]'s first Pokémon was a Pikachu he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Getto Da Ze!]]

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].
===Pokémon Special===
Both [[Red (Special)|Red]] and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]] have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is captured by Red.

In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the Viridian Forest and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokemon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into Gold's Pichu.

'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare.

=Trivia=
*The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{M|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman's]] signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]].
*Pikachu and Raichu have been in all the regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Pikachu is the smallest [[version mascot]].

==Origin==
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s, such as mice and squirrels. However, Pikachu most resembles the [[wp:lagomorph|lagomorph]] known as the [[wp:pika|pika]].
===Name origin===
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking. It may also be related to [[wp:pika|pika]], a type of rodent.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピチュー ''Pichu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. First seen in the [[Generation II]] games, it can be obtained by breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a {{p|Ditto}}.

Pichu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pichu.

Pichu evolves into Pikachu by gaining a level after its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a {{i|Thunder Stone}}

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks. However, since Pichu is only a [[baby Pokémon|baby]], it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity if startled.

==Behavior==
Pichu are known for their playfulness. They are very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They typically live in groups with either their evolutions or other Pokémon.

==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
The [[Pichu Brothers]] are a pair of Pichu who have appeared in several places, including [[Pikachu and Pichu]], [[Camp Pikachu]], several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the [[Pokémon Channel]] special [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]].

Pichu also appeared in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]''. Many were stealing apples from a girl's apple orchid.

A Pichu had a role in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

=In the manga=
[[Gold (Special)|Gold]] owns a Pichu, the parents of which are [[Red (Special)|Red]]'s Pika and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]]'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Pichu is a playable character. It can be unlocked by beating event 37 (Legendary Pokémon) or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. As it is very light and electric attacks do damage to itself as well as others, Pichu is considered to be a handicap character.

====Trophy information====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pichu stars in the mini-game "Pichu's Powerplant." Similar to {{p|Pikachu}}'s and {{p|Voltorb}}'s mini-game in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], you have to be the first to charge up the most electrical power in order to win.
*[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]]: Pichu will assist Pikachu on Ball-Saver duty for 50 coins or as a prize in the slot machine.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=electric
|gen=2
|golddex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|silverdex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|crystaldex=It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
|rubydex=Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this Pokémon.
|sapphiredex=When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
|emeralddex=It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
|firereddex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|leafgreendex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|stadium2dex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|diamonddex=The electric pouches on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet.
|pearldex=It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.

=Trivia=

==Origin==
It draws inspiration from mice, squirrels, and various other [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s.

===Name origin===
Pichu's name is a shortening of the name ''{{p|Pikachu}}'' to indicate that it is less than Pikachu. Its name, like Pikachu's, is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピチュー ''Pichu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. First seen in the [[Generation II]] games, it can be obtained by breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a {{p|Ditto}}.

Pichu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pichu.

Pichu evolves into Pikachu by gaining a level after its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a {{i|Thunder Stone}}

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks. However, since Pichu is only a [[baby Pokémon|baby]], it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity if startled.

==Behavior==
Pichu are known for their playfulness. They are very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They typically live in groups with either their evolutions or other Pokémon.

==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
The [[Pichu Brothers]] are a pair of Pichu who have appeared in several places, including [[Pikachu and Pichu]], [[Camp Pikachu]], several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the [[Pokémon Channel]] special [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]].

Pichu also appeared in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]''. Many were stealing apples from a girl's apple orchid.

A Pichu had a role in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

=In the manga=
[[Gold (Special)|Gold]] owns a Pichu, the parents of which are [[Red (Special)|Red]]'s Pika and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]]'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Pichu is a playable character. It can be unlocked by beating event 37 (Legendary Pokémon) or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. As it is very light and electric attacks do damage to itself as well as others, Pichu is considered to be a handicap character.

====Trophy information====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pichu stars in the mini-game "Pichu's Powerplant." Similar to {{p|Pikachu}}'s and {{p|Voltorb}}'s mini-game in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], you have to be the first to charge up the most electrical power in order to win.
*[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]]: Pichu will assist Pikachu on Ball-Saver duty for 50 coins or as a prize in the slot machine.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=electric
|gen=2
|golddex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|silverdex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|crystaldex=It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
|rubydex=Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this Pokémon.
|sapphiredex=When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
|emeralddex=It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
|firereddex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|leafgreendex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|stadium2dex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|diamonddex=The electric pouches on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet.
|pearldex=It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.

=Trivia=

==Origin==
It draws inspiration from mice, squirrels, and various other [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s.

===Name origin===
Pichu's name is a shortening of the name ''{{p|Pikachu}}'' to indicate that it is less than Pikachu. Its name, like Pikachu's, is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピカチュウ ''Pikachu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It is the [[starter Pokémon]] one receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Yellow]], and is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

Pikachu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pikachu.

Pikachu evolves with exposure to a {{i|Thunder Stone}} into {{p|Raichu}}. It evolves from {{p|Pichu}} when it grows a level and its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above.

Pikachu is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Yellow]], appearing on the boxart.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
A Pikachu is a ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on its back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.
===Gender differences===
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric discharges of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in [[Pokémon battle|battle]] but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it is often needed to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralysis]], or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}.

==Behavior==
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, yanking on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock or a bite to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite which has been known to leave quite a mark.

==Habitat==
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. In fact, Pikachu have been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

=In the anime=
[[image:pikachu_thunderbolt.jpg|left|frame|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon Movie.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle [[Ash]] was having with the instuctor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named [[Victor]] on [[Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

Ash gets turned into a [[Ashachu|Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named [[Lily (Johto)|Lily]]. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Great Story!]]''. That Pikachu evolved into a Raichu near the end of the episode.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

=In the manga=
A [[Pikachu (PiPiPi)|Pikachu]] is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like [[Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shuu]]'s first Pokémon was a Pikachu he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Getto Da Ze!]]

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].
===Pokémon Special===
Both [[Red (Special)|Red]] and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]] have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is captured by Red.

In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the Viridian Forest and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokemon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into Gold's Pichu.

'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.

=In the TFG=
One Pikachu figure has been released.

=Trivia=
*The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{M|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman's]] signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]].
*Pikachu and Raichu have been in all the regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Pikachu is the smallest [[version mascot]].

==Origin==
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s, such as mice and squirrels. However, Pikachu most resembles the [[wp:lagomorph|lagomorph]] known as the [[wp:pika|pika]].
===Name origin===
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking. It may also be related to [[wp:pika|pika]], a type of rodent.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピチュー ''Pichu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. First seen in the [[Generation II]] games, it can be obtained by breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a {{p|Ditto}}.

Pichu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pichu.

Pichu evolves into Pikachu by gaining a level after its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a {{i|Thunder Stone}}

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks. However, since Pichu is only a [[baby Pokémon|baby]], it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity if startled.

==Behavior==
Pichu are known for their playfulness. They are very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They typically live in groups with either their evolutions or other Pokémon.

==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
The [[Pichu Brothers]] are a pair of Pichu who have appeared in several places, including [[Pikachu and Pichu]], [[Camp Pikachu]], several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the [[Pokémon Channel]] special [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]].

Pichu also appeared in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]''. Many were stealing apples from a girl's apple orchid.

A Pichu had a role in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

=In the manga=
[[Gold (Special)|Gold]] owns a Pichu, the parents of which are [[Red (Special)|Red]]'s Pika and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]]'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Pichu is a playable character. It can be unlocked by beating event 37 (Legendary Pokémon) or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. As it is very light and electric attacks do damage to itself as well as others, Pichu is considered to be a handicap character.

====Trophy information====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pichu stars in the mini-game "Pichu's Powerplant." Similar to {{p|Pikachu}}'s and {{p|Voltorb}}'s mini-game in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], you have to be the first to charge up the most electrical power in order to win.
*[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]]: Pichu will assist Pikachu on Ball-Saver duty for 50 coins or as a prize in the slot machine.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=electric
|gen=2
|golddex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|silverdex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|crystaldex=It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
|rubydex=Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this Pokémon.
|sapphiredex=When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
|emeralddex=It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.

=Trivia=

==Origin==
It draws inspiration from mice, squirrels, and various other [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s.

===Name origin===
Pichu's name is a shortening of the name ''{{p|Pikachu}}'' to indicate that it is less than Pikachu. Its name, like Pikachu's, is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピチュー ''Pichu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. First seen in the [[Generation II]] games, it can be obtained by breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a {{p|Ditto}}.

Pichu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pichu.

Pichu evolves into Pikachu by gaining a level after its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a {{i|Thunder Stone}}

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks. However, since Pichu is only a [[baby Pokémon|baby]], it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity if startled.

==Behavior==
Pichu are known for their playfulness. They are very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They typically live in groups with either their evolutions or other Pokémon.

==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
The [[Pichu Brothers]] are a pair of Pichu who have appeared in several places, including [[Pikachu and Pichu]], [[Camp Pikachu]], several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the [[Pokémon Channel]] special [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]].

Pichu also appeared in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]''. Many were stealing apples from a girl's apple orchid.

A Pichu had a role in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

=In the manga=
[[Gold (Special)|Gold]] owns a Pichu, the parents of which are [[Red (Special)|Red]]'s Pika and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]]'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Pichu is a playable character. It can be unlocked by beating event 37 (Legendary Pokémon) or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. As it is very light and electric attacks do damage to itself as well as others, Pichu is considered to be a handicap character.

====Trophy information====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pichu stars in the mini-game "Pichu's Powerplant." Similar to {{p|Pikachu}}'s and {{p|Voltorb}}'s mini-game in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], you have to be the first to charge up the most electrical power in order to win.
*[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]]: Pichu will assist Pikachu on Ball-Saver duty for 50 coins or as a prize in the slot machine.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=electric
|gen=2
|golddex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|silverdex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|crystaldex=It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
|rubydex=Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this Pokémon.
|sapphiredex=When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
|emeralddex=It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
|firereddex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.

==Origin==
It draws inspiration from mice, squirrels, and various other [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s.

===Name origin===
Pichu's name is a shortening of the name ''{{p|Pikachu}}'' to indicate that it is less than Pikachu. Its name, like Pikachu's, is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピチュー ''Pichu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. First seen in the [[Generation II]] games, it can be obtained by breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a {{p|Ditto}}.

Pichu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pichu.

Pichu evolves into Pikachu by gaining a level after its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a {{i|Thunder Stone}}

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks. However, since Pichu is only a [[baby Pokémon|baby]], it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity if startled.

==Behavior==
Pichu are known for their playfulness. They are very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They typically live in groups with either their evolutions or other Pokémon.

==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
The [[Pichu Brothers]] are a pair of Pichu who have appeared in several places, including [[Pikachu and Pichu]], [[Camp Pikachu]], several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the [[Pokémon Channel]] special [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]].

Pichu also appeared in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]''. Many were stealing apples from a girl's apple orchid.

A Pichu had a role in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

=In the manga=
[[Gold (Special)|Gold]] owns a Pichu, the parents of which are [[Red (Special)|Red]]'s Pika and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]]'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Pichu is a playable character. It can be unlocked by beating event 37 (Legendary Pokémon) or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. As it is very light and electric attacks do damage to itself as well as others, Pichu is considered to be a handicap character.

====Trophy information====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into Pikachu. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pichu stars in the mini-game "Pichu's Powerplant." Similar to {{p|Pikachu}}'s and {{p|Voltorb}}'s mini-game in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], you have to be the first to charge up the most electrical power in order to win.
*[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]]: Pichu will assist Pikachu on Ball-Saver duty for 50 coins or as a prize in the slot machine.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=electric
|gen=2
|golddex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
|silverdex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|crystaldex=It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
|rubydex=Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this Pokémon.
|sapphiredex=When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
|emeralddex=It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
|firereddex=Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
|leafgreendex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ライチュウ) is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from {{P|Pikachu}}.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in colour, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan coloured. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. Its cheek sacs are yellow.

===Gender differences===
A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.

===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a [[Lt. Surge's Raichu|Raichu]] that was defeated when it could not keep up with the speed of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.

''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'' was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. A Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright.

A Raichu was seen herding {{P|Mareep}} in ''[[EP139|Mild'n Wooley]]''.

Raichu is one of the Pokémon that were affected by the crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.

Raichu also made a cameo in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. It was one of the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself.

A Raichu named Sugar appeared in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu in [[Pokémon Special]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} that chose to evolve into a Raichu to help him defeat the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

|rubydex=If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
|sapphiredex=This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
|emeralddex=If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ライチュウ) is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from {{P|Pikachu}}.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in colour, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan coloured. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. Its cheek sacs are yellow.

===Gender differences===
A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.

===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a [[Lt. Surge's Raichu|Raichu]] that was defeated when it could not keep up with the speed of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.

Raichu was one of the four Pokémon causing trouble for Pikachu and co. in ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]''.

In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', a girl named [[Katrina (Kanto)|Katrina]] decided to use her Raichu in the film "Pokémon in Love."

''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'' was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. A Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright.

A Raichu was seen herding {{P|Mareep}} in ''[[EP139|Mild'n Wooley]]''.

Raichu is one of the Pokémon that were affected by the crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.

Raichu also made a cameo in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. It was one of the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself.

A Raichu named Sugar appeared in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu in [[Pokémon Special]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} that chose to evolve into a Raichu to help him defeat the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

A Raichu is a character in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

=In the TFG=
One Raichu figure has been released.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|gen=1
|type=electric
|redbluedex=Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
|yellowdex=When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
|stadiumdex=Its electrical attacks may reach 10,000 volts. It discharges electricity from its tail, so it is not harmed by its own power.
|golddex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|silverdex=If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
|crystaldex=If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
|stadium2dex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|rubydex=If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
|sapphiredex=This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
|emeralddex=If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
|firereddex=Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an [[wp:Indian Elephant|Indian elephant]] to faint.
|leafgreendex=Its long tail serves as ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
|diamonddex=It turns agressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
|pearldex=It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピカチュウ ''Pikachu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It is the [[starter Pokémon]] one receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Yellow]], and is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

Pikachu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pikachu.

Pikachu evolves with exposure to a {{i|Thunder Stone}} into {{p|Raichu}}. It evolves from {{p|Pichu}} when it grows a level and its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above.

Pikachu is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Yellow]], appearing on the boxart.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
A Pikachu is a ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on its back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.
===Gender differences===
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric discharges of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in [[Pokémon battle|battle]] but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it is often needed to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralysis]], or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}.

==Behavior==
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, yanking on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock or a bite to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite which has been known to leave quite a mark.

==Habitat==
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. In fact, Pikachu have been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

=In the anime=
[[image:pikachu_thunderbolt.jpg|left|frame|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon Movie.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle [[Ash]] was having with the instuctor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named [[Victor]] on [[Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

Ash gets turned into a [[Ashachu|Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named [[Lily (Johto)|Lily]]. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Great Story!]]''. That Pikachu evolved into a Raichu near the end of the episode.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

=In the manga=
A [[Pikachu (PiPiPi)|Pikachu]] is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like [[Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shuu]]'s first Pokémon was a Pikachu he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Getto Da Ze!]]

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].
===Pokémon Special===
Both [[Red (Special)|Red]] and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]] have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is captured by Red.

In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the Viridian Forest and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokemon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into Gold's Pichu.

'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.

=In the TFG=
One Pikachu figure has been released.

===[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is initially placed to the right of Mario but moves to the bottom row after Luigi is unlocked.

====Trophy information====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

===[[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]]===
Pikachu is currently the only playable Pokémon confirmed to be in the game. It's Final Smash move is confirmed to be {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

=Trivia=
*The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{M|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman's]] signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]].
*Pikachu and Raichu have been in all the regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Pikachu is the smallest [[version mascot]].

==Origin==
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s, such as mice and squirrels. However, Pikachu most resembles the [[wp:lagomorph|lagomorph]] known as the [[wp:pika|pika]].
===Name origin===
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking. It may also be related to [[wp:pika|pika]], a type of rodent.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon. Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], and is the first Pokémon numerically in the [[Kanto Dex|Kanto]] and [[National Dex]]es, as well as the [[Browser]].

Bulbasaur comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Bulbasaur evolves via level, into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at Level 32. It is interesting to note that Bulbasaur is the only one of the original starters to become its third form at twice the experience level of its second form, while both Charmander and Squirtle become their final forms at Level 36 instead. It is also interesting to note that, while many of the starter Pokémon recieve additional types upon evolution, Bulbasaur is the only one among them to have two [[Elemental types|types]] in its basic form.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Bulbasaur is a reptilian creature resembling a toad or dinosaur. Its most notable feature, though, is the bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back when it is born. It could perhaps be distantly related to two other Grass-type starters, {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Bulbasaur seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Bulbasaur usually walk around on four legs, but in this stage they also have the ability to rise up on their hind legs.
===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
Bulbasaur has a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Sweet Scent}}, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal thanks to the bulb.

The bulb also absorbs sunlight. This is extremely useful, since the sunlight can be turned into health through {{m|Synthesis}} or launched at the opponent as a powerful {{m|Solarbeam}}.

==Behavior==
Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon They are often considered the easiest Pokémon to start with, since they are strong and not likely to misbehave, and also have a type-advantage over the first two [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s.

They can often have a strong loyalty streak. In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] in the sewers, where it lived for many years. When it finally returned to the surface, it was not upset about being abandoned by its trainer. In fact, it was simply glad to see him again.

==Habitat==
Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Much like most pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an omnivoire. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Ash's_Bulbasaur.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] using {{m|Vine Whip}}]]Bulbasaur first appeared in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You]]'', as one of the three options new trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from.

A real [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] first appeared in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] caught it, and it became an important part of his team until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador]]'', when Ash sent him to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

Ash wasn't the only main anime character to own a Bulbasaur. In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]'', May also caught one. In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May too left [[May's Bulbasaur|her Bulbasaur]] at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group travelled throughout the [[Battle Frontier]] in [[Kanto]].

A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into Ivysaur. Aided by [[Misty]] and [[Tracey]], Ash, while searching for his missing Bulbasaur, found the abandoned Bulbasaur. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', [[Gilbert (Kanto)|Gilbert]], the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto Starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], [[Pistachio]] has a Bulbasaur named [[Danerina]]. She has a crush on him and is extremely jealous whenever she sees him talking to other females.

Ash's Bulbasaur is shown in several chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, [[Red (Special)|Red]] receives a Bulbasaur from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' after helping capture all the Pokémon he accidentally set free. Bulbasaur has since evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, and then to {{p|Venusaur}}.

=Trivia=

==Origin==
Bulbasaur appears to be similar to a dinosaur and may be based on one. The ''saur'' in its English name supports this, since dinosaur names often have ''saur'' suffixed. Bulbasaur is also very similar to a frog.
===Name origin===
Bulbasaur's name is a combination of the words ''[[wp:bulb|bulb]]'' and ''saur'', which is [[wp:Greek language|Greek]] for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name literally means ''it's strange, isn't it?'', and is a pun on, 不思議種 ''fushigidane'', strange seed.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bisasam - Derives from ''Bisamratte'' (musk rat) and ''Samen'' (seed).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Bulbizarre - A combination of ''bulb'' and ''bizarre'', reflected by the Japanese name, a pun on "Isn't it strange?".
*Portuguese: Bulbassauro
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이상해씨 ''Isanghaessi'' - Translates to ''Strange Seed''
*Chinese (Taiwan): 妙蛙種子 ''Mìao Wa Chóng Zí'' ("strange frog seed child")
*Chinese (Hong Kong): 奇異種子 ''Qí Yì Chóng Zí'' ("very strange seed child")

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon. Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], and is the first Pokémon numerically in the [[Kanto Dex|Kanto]] and [[National Dex]]es, as well as the [[Browser]].

Bulbasaur comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Bulbasaur evolves via level, into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at Level 32. It is interesting to note that Bulbasaur is the only one of the original starters to become its third form at twice the experience level of its second form, while both Charmander and Squirtle become their final forms at Level 36 instead. It is also interesting to note that, while many of the starter Pokémon recieve additional types upon evolution, Bulbasaur is the only one among them to have two [[Elemental types|types]] in its basic form.

[[Image:Ash's_Bulbasaur.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] using {{m|Vine Whip}}]]Bulbasaur first appeared in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You]]'', as one of the three options new trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from.

A real [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] first appeared in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] caught it, and it became an important part of his team until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador]]'', when Ash sent him to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

Ash wasn't the only main anime character to own a Bulbasaur. In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]'', May also caught one. In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May too left [[May's Bulbasaur|her Bulbasaur]] at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group travelled throughout the [[Battle Frontier]] in [[Kanto]].

A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into Ivysaur. Aided by [[Misty]] and [[Tracey]], Ash, while searching for his missing Bulbasaur, found the abandoned Bulbasaur. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', [[Gilbert (Kanto)|Gilbert]], the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto Starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], [[Pistachio]] has a Bulbasaur named [[Danerina]]. She has a crush on him and is extremely jealous whenever she sees him talking to other females.

Ash's Bulbasaur is shown in several chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, [[Red (Special)|Red]] receives a Bulbasaur from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' after helping capture all the Pokémon he accidentally set free. Bulbasaur has since evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, and then to {{p|Venusaur}}.

=Trivia=
Bulbasaur is the only [[starter Pokémon]] to have two types for all three stages.

==Origin==
Bulbasaur appears to be similar to a dinosaur and may be based on one. The ''saur'' in its English name supports this, since dinosaur names often have ''saur'' suffixed. Bulbasaur is also very similar to a frog.
===Name origin===
Bulbasaur's name is a combination of the words ''[[wp:bulb|bulb]]'' and ''saur'', which is [[wp:Greek language|Greek]] for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name literally means ''it's strange, isn't it?'', and is a pun on, 不思議種 ''fushigidane'', strange seed.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bisasam - Derives from ''Bisamratte'' (musk rat) and ''Samen'' (seed).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Bulbizarre - A combination of ''bulb'' and ''bizarre'', reflected by the Japanese name, a pun on "Isn't it strange?".
*Portuguese: Bulbassauro
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이상해씨 ''Isanghaessi'' - Translates to ''Strange Seed''
*Chinese (Taiwan): 妙蛙種子 ''Mìao Wa Chóng Zí'' ("strange frog seed child")
*Chinese (Hong Kong): 奇異種子 ''Qí Yì Chóng Zí'' ("very strange seed child")

Meteor Cave

2007-08-03T14:35:52Z

Reedj2003:

'''Meteor Cave''' is a dungeon in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. It is home to {{p|Deoxys}}. Only one Pokémon is allowed to enter, and only money is found in the dungeon. Only 3 items may be carried at once.

Meteor Cave was created when rocks from the destroyed meteor crashed into a mountain. The morning after {{p|Lugia}} is recruited from [[Silver Trench]], {{p|Blastoise}} reports discovering the cave to {{p|Xatu}}, who then gives the cave its name. The partner then suggests the rescue team investigates it.

One random Deoxys-type is created on every floor when you enter - Attack, Speed, or Defense. The random Deoxys must be defeated to unlock the stairs down. The Normal Deoxys is on the 20th floor, and it is the only one that can be recruited.

Floors 1-5 are slightly dark, and floors 6-19 are very dark.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: デオキシス ''Deoxys'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex]] within [[Generation III]].

=Biology=
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of DNA.

==Physiology==
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance, the main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for it's belly. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

The "Attack" form has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Form, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" for faster movement.
===Gender differences===
Deoxys is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Deoxys mostly has the same abilities as {{p|Mewtwo}} and the aforementioned ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys's signature attack is {{M|Psycho Boost}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Deoxys came from [[wp:outer space|outer space]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Deoxys first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to La Rousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As [[Pokémon Emerald]] had not been released when the movie was produced, only its [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], Normal and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's [[Stat#Speed|Speed]] form debuted.

=In the manga=

=Trivia=
* The attack form of Deoxys has the highest attack of any Pokémon.
* The speed form of Deoxys has the highest speed of any Pokémon.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
==Origin==
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens. Considering its viral nature and its ability to mutate, not to mention its location on a southern island, it may have been loosely based on the [[Missingno.]] glitch. However, the fact that in its neutral form, its arms spiral in a way that resembles DNA, from which its name is already derived, this suggests that there is a connection there too.
===Name origin===
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''[[wp:DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid]]'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: デオキシス ''Deoxys'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex]] within [[Generation III]].

=Biology=
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of DNA.

==Physiology==
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance, the main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for it's belly. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

The "Attack" form has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Form, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" for faster movement.
===Gender differences===
Deoxys is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Deoxys mostly has the same abilities as {{p|Mewtwo}} and the aforementioned ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys's signature attack is {{M|Psycho Boost}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Deoxys came from [[wp:outer space|outer space]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Deoxys first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to La Rousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As [[Pokémon Emerald]] had not been released when the movie was produced, only its [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], Normal and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's [[Stat#Speed|Speed]] form debuted.

=In the manga=

=In the TCG=
Deoxys first appears in [[EX Deoxys (TCG)|EX Deoxys]].

=Other appearances=

=Trivia=
* The attack form of Deoxys has the highest attack of any Pokémon.

* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
==Origin==
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens. Considering its viral nature and its ability to mutate, not to mention its location on a southern island, it may have been loosely based on the [[Missingno.]] glitch. However, the fact that in its neutral form, its arms spiral in a way that resembles DNA, from which its name is already derived, this suggests that there is a connection there too.
===Name origin===
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''[[wp:DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid]]'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: デオキシス ''Deoxys'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex]] within [[Generation III]].

=Biology=
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of DNA.

==Physiology==
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance, the main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for it's belly. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

The "Attack" form has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Form, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" for faster movement.
===Gender differences===
Deoxys is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Deoxys mostly has the same abilities as {{p|Mewtwo}} and the aforementioned ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys's signature attack is {{M|Psycho Boost}}.

A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to La Rousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As [[Pokémon Emerald]] had not been released when the movie was produced, only its [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], Normal and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's [[Stat#Speed|Speed]] form debuted.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: デオキシス ''Deoxys'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex]] within [[Generation III]].

=Biology=
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of DNA.

==Physiology==
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance, the main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for it's belly. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

The "Attack" form has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Form, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" for faster movement.
===Gender differences===
Deoxys is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Deoxys mostly has the same abilities as {{p|Mewtwo}} and the aforementioned ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys's signature attack is {{M|Psycho Boost}}.

Deoxys first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to La Rousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As [[Pokémon Emerald]] had not been released when the movie was produced, only its [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], Normal and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's [[Stat#Speed|Speed]] form debuted.

=Trivia=
* The attack form of Deoxys has the highest attack of any Pokémon.
* The speed form of Deoxys has the highest speed of any Pokémon.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
==Origin==
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens. Considering its viral nature and its ability to mutate, not to mention its location on a southern island, it may have been loosely based on the [[Missingno.]] glitch. However, the fact that in its neutral form, its arms spiral in a way that resembles DNA, from which its name is already derived, this suggests that there is a connection there too.
===Name origin===
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''[[wp:DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid]]'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

==In other languages==

=Trivia=
* The attack form of Deoxys has the highest attack of any Pokémon.
* The speed form of Deoxys has the highest speed of any Pokémon.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
==Origin==
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens. Considering its viral nature and its ability to mutate, not to mention its location on a southern island, it may have been loosely based on the [[Missingno.]] glitch. However, the fact that in its neutral form, its arms spiral in a way that resembles DNA, from which its name is already derived, this suggests that there is a connection there too.
===Name origin===
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''[[wp:DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid]]'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: デオキシス ''Deoxys'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex]] within [[Generation III]].

=Biology=
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of DNA.

==Physiology==
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance, the main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for it's belly. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

The "Attack" form has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Form, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" for faster movement.
===Gender differences===
Deoxys is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Deoxys mostly has the same abilities as {{p|Mewtwo}} and the aforementioned ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys's signature attack is {{M|Psycho Boost}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Deoxys came from [[wp:outer space|outer space]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Deoxys first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to La Rousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As [[Pokémon Emerald]] had not been released when the movie was produced, only its [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], Normal and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's [[Stat#Speed|Speed]] form debuted.

===Name origin===
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''[[wp:DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid]]'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

'''Feebas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヒンバス ''Hinbass'') is a {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon.

'''Feebas''' evolves into {{p|Milotic}} by maxing out its Beauty condition, which is achieved through feeding it [[Pokéblock|Pokéblocks]]. Much like {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Remoraid}} it is also a water type that does not resemble its evolved form.

=Biology=
Feebas has an unattractive, shabby appearance and it looks weak and worthless, as its fins are ragged and tattered from the moment of its birth. Feebas's scales are of a rough, smooth, and rocky texture.
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Feebas has appeared three times in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. One was biting [[Jessie]]'s hair in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.

The [[Magikarp Salesman]] sold a Feebas to Team Rocket in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'' but it was actually a [[Jessie's Magikarp|Magikarp]] in disguise.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the loveliest.

=Game data=
==Pokédex entries==
; [[Pokémon Ruby]]
: Feebas's fins are ragged and tattered from the start of its life. Because of its shoddy appearance, this Pokémon is largely ignored. It is capable of living in both the sea and in rivers.
; [[Pokémon Sapphire]]
: While Feebas's body is in tatters, it has a hardy and tenacious life force that enables it to live anywhere. However, this Pokémon is also slow and dimwitted, making it an easy catch.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: Feebas live in ponds that are heavily infested with weeds. Because of its hopelessly shabby appearance, it seems as if few [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] raise it.
; [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]
: Ridiculed for its shabby appearance, it is ignored by researchers. It lives in ponds choked with weeds.
; [[Pokémon Pearl]]
: It eats anything, so it can even live in polluted streams and lakes. No one pays any attention to it.

=Trivia=
==Origin==
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a bass.

===Name origin===
Feebas's name is a combination of ''feeble'', meaning small and weak, and ''[[wp:bass (fish)|bass]]''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 貧 ''hin'', poor, and ''bass''. "hin" may also come from the words "hind," as in behind, or "hinder."

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ライチュウ) is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from {{P|Pikachu}}.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in colour, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan coloured. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. Its cheek sacs are yellow.

===Gender differences===
A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.

===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a Raichu that was defeated when it could not keep up with the speed of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.

Raichu was one of the four Pokémon causing trouble for Pikachu and co. in ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]''.

In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', a girl named [[Katrina (Kanto)|Katrina]] decided to use her Raichu in the film "Pokémon in Love."

''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'' was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. A Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright.

A Raichu was seen herding {{P|Mareep}} in ''[[EP139|Mild'n Wooley]]''.

Raichu also made a cameo in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. It was one of the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself.

A Raichu named Sugar appeared in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu in [[Pokémon Special]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} that chose to evolve into a Raichu to help him defeat the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

A Raichu is a character in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

=In the TFG=
One Raichu figure has been released.

|rubydex=If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
|sapphiredex=This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
|emeralddex=If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
|firereddex=Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an [[wp:Indian Elephant|Indian elephant]] to faint.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ライチュウ) is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from {{P|Pikachu}}.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in colour, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan coloured. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. Its cheek sacs are yellow.

===Gender differences===
A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.

===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a Raichu that was defeated when it could not keep up with the speed of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.

Raichu was one of the four Pokémon causing trouble for Pikachu and co. in ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]''.

In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', a girl named [[Katrina (Kanto)|Katrina]] decided to use her Raichu in the film "Pokémon in Love."

''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'' was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. A Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright.

A Raichu was seen herding {{P|Mareep}} in ''[[EP139|Mild'n Wooley]]''.

Raichu also made a cameo in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. It was one of the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself.

A Raichu named Sugar appeared in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu in [[Pokémon Special]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} that chose to evolve into a Raichu to help him defeat the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ピカチュウ ''Pikachu'') is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It is the [[starter Pokémon]] one receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Yellow]], and is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

Pikachu comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] Static, which paralyzes the foe 30% of the time it uses a direct attack on Pikachu.

Pikachu evolves with exposure to a {{i|Thunder Stone}} into {{p|Raichu}}. It evolves from {{p|Pichu}} when it grows a level and its [[Tameness]] is 220 or above.

Pikachu is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Yellow]], appearing on the boxart.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
A Pikachu is a ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on its back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}} ,{{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}},due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.
===Gender differences===
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric discharges of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in [[Pokémon battle|battle]] but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it is often needed to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralysis]], or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}.

==Behavior==
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, yanking on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock or a bite to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite which has been known to leave quite a mark.

==Habitat==
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. In fact, Pikachu have been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

=In the anime=
[[image:pikachu_thunderbolt.jpg|left|frame|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon Movie.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle [[Ash]] was having with the instuctor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named [[Victor]] on [[Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

Ash gets turned into a [[Ashachu|Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named [[Lily (Johto)|Lily]]. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Great Story!]]''. That Pikachu evolved into a Raichu near the end of the episode.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

=In the manga=
A [[Pikachu (PiPiPi)|Pikachu]] is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like [[Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shuu]]'s first Pokémon was a Pikachu he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Getto Da Ze!]]

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].
===Pokémon Special===
Both [[Red (Special)|Red]] and [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]] have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is captured by Red.

In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the Viridian Forest and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokemon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into Gold's Pichu.

'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.

=In the TFG=
One Pikachu figure has been released.

It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=Trivia=
*The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{M|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman's]] signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]].
*Pikachu and Raichu have been in all the regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Pikachu is the smallest [[version mascot]].

==Origin==
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of [[wp:rodent|rodent]]s, such as mice and squirrels. However, Pikachu most resembles the [[wp:lagomorph|lagomorph]] known as the [[wp:pika|pika]].
===Name origin===
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking. It may also be related to [[wp:pika|pika]], a type of rodent.

==In other languages==

* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Pikachu
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 피카츄 ''Pikachyu''
* Chinese (Taiwan): 皮卡丘 ''Pí Ka Qiu'' - Transliteration of the original name.
* Chinese (Hong Kong): 比卡超 ''Bî Ka Chao''
