'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキドユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Okido'', ''Ookido-Hakase'' and ''Orchid'' are also seen) is a [[Pokémon Professor]] and has a home and [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] located in [[Pallet Town]].
==Background information==
Oak gives his invention, the [[Pokédex]], to all beginning [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] in the [[Generation I]] games, and makes a cameo appearance in the [[Generation II]] games to give the player a Pokédex. He also makes an appearance in [[Generation IV]] to upgrade the Pokédex to the [[National Dex]].

==In the anime==
In the anime, Oak is most notable for his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|vast research facility]], where he cares for and studies hundreds of Pokémon, including those owned by, but not currently traveling with, trainers from [[Pallet Town]]. His often-forgetful attitude and other antics are also notorious. His Japanese voice actor is 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'', his English voice actors are [[Stan Hart]] ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub), and [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]] ([[Pokémon USA]]/[[TAJ Productions]] dub) and his original Brazilian-Portuguese dub voice actor is [[Wellington Lima]], but [[Dráusio de Oliveira]] voiced him in some episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and the seventh, ninth, and tenth seasons. Since the beginning, he has been voiced by Hugo Jiménez in the Latin American Spanish dub.
{{spoilers}}
[[Image:Prof_oak.jpg|thumb|left|Professor Oak in the anime]]
He appears as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in the fourth [[Pokémon movie|film]], ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. [[Ash Ketchum]] befriends Professor Oak as Sam, when he is transported by Celebi into the future. We recognize this connection between Sam and Samuel Oak when, in the credits, [[Tracey Sketchit]] is cleaning out the closet and finds Sam's sketchbook, not knowing anything about Sam, and is impressed by the Professor's skill in art. Also, Professor Oak knew Ash's name even though Ash never told him. As Yukinari he is voiced by 戸田恵子 ''[[Keiko Toda]]'', and as Sam he is voiced by [[Tara Jayne]] in the English dub and by [[Rodrigo Andreatto]] in the Brazilian dub.

Prof. Oak lives up the road from [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] and the two often appear together as they are good friends. He currently lives with [[Tracey Sketchit]], who became his loyal assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''. Tracey and Prof. Oak are very passionate about studying [[Pokémon]] and are both artists. He has confidence in his grandson, but more often joins [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] mother and friends in cheering on Ash in his competitions.

In the novelizations written by [[Takeshi Shudō]], Professor Oak comes from a prestigious family. He has two brothers, one is the mayor of Pallet Town and the other is the Post Master, and his grandfather was the first trainer from Pallet Town to receive widespread recognition. According to Professor Elm, Professor Oak's studies and research mostly focus on how humans and Pokémon interact with each other.

He is an old friend of many other [[Pokémon professor]]s, including [[Professor Ivy|Ivy]], [[Professor Elm|Elm]], [[Professor Birch|Birch]] and [[Professor Rowan|Rowan]].
===Pokémon===
This listing is of Professor Oak's known Pokémon:

* {{p|Charmeleon}} (possibly his [[starter Pokémon|starter]])
* {{p|Dragonite}}
* {{p|Pidgey}}
* {{p|Seaking}} (dub only)
* Various Pokémon used on [[Professor Oak's Lecture|his Lectures]], including {{p|Garchomp}} and {{p|Mismagius}}
{{endspoilers}}
He also has these Pokémon to give to new trainers:
* {{p|Bulbasaur}}
* {{p|Charmander}}
* {{p|Squirtle}}

====Trainers with his starter Pokémon====
*Two unknown Trainers ({{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}})
*[[Gary Oak|Gary]] ([[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]])
*[[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] ({{AP|Pikachu}})
*{{an|May}} ({{TP|May|Squirtle}})
*[[Gilbert (Kanto)|Gilbert]] ({{p|Bulbasaur}})

==In the games==
Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] with his aides. He gave {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Leaf}} their first Starter Pokémon. He is an idol to many trainers and researchers, including [[Professor Elm]], and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of [[Agatha]]. They remained good friends (some speculate that they were a couple) and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the [[Pokémon League]] as an adviser.

Professor Oak was always well-known in [[Kanto]] but in [[Generation II]] he became more of a celebrity. He started to be famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first but [[DJ Mary|Mary]]'s energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} first met him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only finest Pokémon trainers may enter.

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is [[Kurt]], a [[Poké Ball]] smith from [[Azalea Town]] and another is [[Professor Elm]] who used to be Oak's assistant.

Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces trainers to [[Pal Park]], and gives them the [[National Dex]]. A letter that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}.

Professor Oak gained has many fans and admirers. One of them is [[School Kid|Schoolboy]] Chad, who usually calls the player to give information about Oak.

He made a cameo in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|TCG game]] for [[Game Boy]] on [[Professor Oak (Base Set 88)|his own]] card.

Professor Oak also was one of the two human characters appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. He was working on a [[Pokémon Report]] for the Pokémon species of [[Pokémon Island]], and hired [[Todd Snap|Todd]] to take pictures for the report. He provided Todd with the [[ZERO-ONE]] and its [[Dash Engine]] upgrade, [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and a [[Poké Flute]]. When Todd took a picture of each of the [[Pokémon Signs]], Professor Oak drew a connection between them and the [[Pokémon constellations|constellations]] to determine that {{p|Mew}} must be on [[Rainbow Cloud]].

In the [[Generation I]] games there is unused Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that Oak was originally going to be able to be battled. In the data, Oak has Level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, Level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, Level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, Level 70 {{p|Gyarados}} and one of Kanto [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] at Level 69.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Although Professor Oak's first mention was in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' in a conversation between {{Special|Red}} and some Pallet Town children, his debut was in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where Red had wandered into [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] and was immediately accused of being a thief. In his haste, Red accidentally released all the Pokémon in the lab, including Bulbasaur, causing the two to track them down and re-capture them. After being saved by Red from a {{p|Machoke}} attack in [[Viridian City]], Oak gave Red the Bulbasaur and a Pokédex. The professor also makes appearances in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', talking about [[Team Rocket]]'s expermients. Oak later appears in Volume 3 to battle {{Special|Blue}} under the alias "Doctor O" and reveals Blue's phobia of Flying-type Pokémon and her theft of Squirtle. However, he shows compassion by giving her the last Pokédex and forfeiting his position in the [[Pokémon League]].

In the GSC Saga, Oak is now known as the leading authority on Pokémon in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] and has developed the three new Pokédexes. The first was stolen by {{Special|Silver}}, the second and third he gave to {{Special|Gold}} and {{Special|Crystal}}. During the battle with the [[Mask of Ice]], he gave out the titles to the six Pokédex holders and {{Special|Yellow}}. At the end, he employed Crystal as his assistant and thanks to her, the Pokédex had been filled and he owned all non-legendary Pokémon as research.

In the FRLG Saga, Oak was captured by the [[The Three Beasts]] to lure Red, {{Special|Green}} and Blue to the Sevii Islands; but not before he recalled their three Pokédexes. After he was freed at [[Trainer Tower (game)|Trainer Tower]], Oak upgraded the Pokédexes to add the National Dex capability.

One of Professor Oak's projects was a full analysis of a report holding all information on the last awakening of {{p|Jirachi}}. From this, he worked out that it would appear where the Battle Frontier was being built during its opening week. He immediately contacted [[Scott]] and, while he would not move the opening, Professor Oak managed to convince Scott to allow a Pokédex holder to guard Jirachi. This was {{Special|Emerald}}. However, someone stole the disc with all the data from Professor Oak's lab.

==In the TCG==
{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}} appears on a self-named card in the [[TCG]] which when played allows the player to discard their hand and draw seven cards. This card appears in the {{TCG|Base Set}}.

He is also on the card {{TCG ID|Expedition|Professor Oak's Research|149}} (shortened to Prof. Oak's Research in {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}), which lets the player shuffle their hand into their deck and draw five cards. This card appears in the {{TCG|Expedition}}, {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}} sets.

He is also on the card {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Professor Oak's Visit|122}} in the {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} set.

In addition, there is an [[Impostor Professor Oak (Base Set 73)|impostor version]] which requires the opponent to shuffle their hand into his deck and draw seven cards, which also appears on a card called "{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Impostor Oak's Revenge|76}}" in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set, a card which makes one's opponent do the same with only drawing four cards, but requires one of the player's own cards to be discarded, and on a card called "{{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Impostor Professor Oak's Invention|94}}", which allowed the player to look at the opponent's Prize cards and choose whether to let the opponent keep them or set out new ones.

==Trivia==
*Professor Oak is the first and currently only Pokémon Professor to appear in all Generations (from [[Generation I]] through [[Generation IV]]), appearing in Generation I and Generation III as the regional professor and making occasional appearances in Generation II and Generation IV.
*Professor Oak is the only character whose name was changed for Brazilian Portuguese anime dub. His Brazilian name is Professor Carvalho.

'''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 [[Ability]] {{A|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 [[Happiness]] is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a [[Thunderstone]].

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Pichu is a small ground-dwelling rodent. Its fur is very short, and is has bright yellow coloration. The tips of its large ears are black, and it has additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail is short, but still bares some resemblance to the large lightening-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It has pouches in its checks are pinkish colored, and used for storing electricity.
===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 unintentionally, fortunately it is not able to store large amounts of electricity in its body.

==Behavior==
Pichu are social Pokémon known for their playfulness. They tend to be very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They are usually found in groups, typically with members of their own species, but occasionally with other types of Pokémon.Like its evolutions, it is capable of storing electricity from the atmosphere, however, this ability requires much practice to perfect. Pichu are prone to randomly discharging electricity. Pichu are frequently observed touching tails will each other--creating a shower of sparks. While most pichu become distressed when they accidentally discharge sparks at another pichu, this tail touching ritual seems to be some form of test for the young Pokémon.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

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

Pichu appear to be particularly found of apples.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Pichu_Brothers.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The Pichu Brothers]]
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]].
These two pichus design is similair to Ash's Pikachu and Sparky because one has a scruff on hair on it's head, just like Sparky while the other pichu brother, like Ash's Pikachu doesn't.

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=
{{Special|Gold}} owns a Pichu, the parents of which are {{Special|Red}}'s Pika and {{Special|Yellow}}'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=
{{main|Pichu (TCG)}}

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. 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. It is technically the weakest character in the game.

As the game itself acknowledges that Pichu is not a character to be taken seriously, there is no controversy over Pichu being placed in the bottom tier. However, it is through its faults that Pichu has gained its own following as the ability to win with Pichu in a serious competitive setting is an achievement in itself.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into {{P|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.

=====Adventure Mode=====
Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances.

=====All-Star Mode=====
Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee., and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move.

=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.

'''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 [[Ability]] {{A|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 [[Happiness]] is 220 or above, then into Raichu when exposed to a [[Thunderstone]].

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Pichu is a small ground-dwelling rodent. Its fur is very short, and is has bright yellow coloration. The tips of its large ears are black, and it has additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail is short, but still bares some resemblance to the large lightening-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It has pouches in its checks are pinkish colored, and used for storing electricity.
===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 unintentionally, fortunately it is not able to store large amounts of electricity in its body.

==Behavior==
Pichu are social Pokémon known for their playfulness. They tend to be very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They are usually found in groups, typically with members of their own species, but occasionally with other types of Pokémon.Like its evolutions, it is capable of storing electricity from the atmosphere, however, this ability requires much practice to perfect. Pichu are prone to randomly discharging electricity. Pichu are frequently observed touching tails will each other--creating a shower of sparks. While most pichu become distressed when they accidentally discharge sparks at another pichu, this tail touching ritual seems to be some form of test for the young Pokémon.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

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

Pichu appear to be particularly found of apples.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Pichu_Brothers.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The Pichu Brothers]]
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]].
These two pichus resemble Ash's Pikachu and Ritchie's Pikachu because one has a scruff on hair on it's head, just like Ritchie's Pikachu while the other pichu brother, like Ash's Pikachu doesn't.

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=
{{Special|Gold}} owns a Pichu, the parents of which are {{Special|Red}}'s Pika and {{Special|Yellow}}'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=
{{main|Pichu (TCG)}}

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. 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. It is technically the weakest character in the game.

As the game itself acknowledges that Pichu is not a character to be taken seriously, there is no controversy over Pichu being placed in the bottom tier. However, it is through its faults that Pichu has gained its own following as the ability to win with Pichu in a serious competitive setting is an achievement in itself.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into {{P|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.

=====Adventure Mode=====
Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances.

=====All-Star Mode=====
Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee., and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move.

=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.

Its tail is short, but still bares some resemblance to the large lightening-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It has pouches in its checks are pinkish colored, and used for storing electricity.
===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 unintentionally, fortunately it is not able to store large amounts of electricity in its body.

==Behavior==
Pichu are social Pokémon known for their playfulness. They tend to be very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They are usually found in groups, typically with members of their own species, but occasionally with other types of Pokémon.Like its evolutions, it is capable of storing electricity from the atmosphere, however, this ability requires much practice to perfect. Pichu are prone to randomly discharging electricity. Pichu are frequently observed touching tails will each other--creating a shower of sparks. While most pichu become distressed when they accidentally discharge sparks at another pichu, this tail touching ritual seems to be some form of test for the young Pokémon.

==Habitat==

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

Pichu appear to be particularly found of apples.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Pichu_Brothers.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The Pichu Brothers]]
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]].
These two pichus resemble Ash's Pikachu and Ritchie's Pikachu because one has a scruff on hair on it's head, just like Ritchie's Pikachu while the other pichu brother, like Ash'd Pikachu doesn't.

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=
{{Special|Gold}} owns a Pichu, the parents of which are {{Special|Red}}'s Pika and {{Special|Yellow}}'s Chuchu.

=In the TCG=
{{main|Pichu (TCG)}}

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. 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. It is technically the weakest character in the game.

As the game itself acknowledges that Pichu is not a character to be taken seriously, there is no controversy over Pichu being placed in the bottom tier. However, it is through its faults that Pichu has gained its own following as the ability to win with Pichu in a serious competitive setting is an achievement in itself.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into {{P|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.

=====Adventure Mode=====
Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances.

=====All-Star Mode=====
Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee., and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move.

=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.

==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.

=Trivia=
*Uxie is, as of [[Generation IV]], one of the three lightest legendary Pokémon, tied with the other members of [[Lake trio|its trio]]. It is also, tied with the other members of its trio (and {{p|Rotom}}), the second lightest of all Pokémon, after {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.
*Uxie is the mascot of [[Poképédia]] since it is the Pokémon of knowledge.
==Origin==
Uxie is based after a [[wp:pixie|pixie]] or a [[wp:fairy|fairy]] and the color [[wp:yellow|yellow]]. Uxie and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the [[wp:Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia of Japan]], which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Uxie would be the Mirror of Wisdom.

===Name origin===
Uxie's name is probably a pun of the Japanese word for knowledge, ''gakushiki''. The final part of its name, ''xie'', comes from [[wp:pixie|pixie]]. It could also come from ''you'' and ''pixe''. Its French name, Crehelf, comes from ''création'' and ''elfe'', elf. Its German name, Selfe, comes from ''self'' and ''Elfe'', elf.

=Trivia=
* When Cresselia is encountered, the music is the same as an ordinary [[wild Pokémon]].
* Cresselia can be seen as an opposite of {{p|Darkrai}}, as Darkrai causes nightmares, where Cresselia prevents them. Also, their islands are shaped and named opposite of each other.
*Cresselia is one on three legendary pokemon that has a deffernet gender (Heatran also has a gender but can be male or female)
==Origin==
Cresselia is based after a [[wp:swan|swan]] with features of heavenly bodies such as a crescent moon-shaped head and rings like [[wp:Saturn|Saturn]]'s around its body.
===Name origin===
Its name is derived from [[wp:crescent moon|crescent]], referring to a [[wp:phases of the moon|phase of the moon]].
