Pichu (Japanese: ピチュー Pichu, German: Pichu, French: Pichu, Korean: 피츄 Pichyu) is an Electric-type Pokémon. First seen in the Generation II games, it can be obtained by breeding a female Pikachu or Raichu with a compatible male Pokémon, or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a Ditto.

Pichu comes with the 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 Thunder Stone
