Spiky-eared Pichu
Notched-ear Pichu (Japanese: キザみみピチュー) is a female Pichu that will appear in To the Conquering of Space-Time. Her physical appearance is no different from an ordinary Pichu, other than the three spikes at the tip of her right ear, hence her name. She is very fond of Grepa Berries. As of now, not much else is known about her, but more information should appear closer to the movie's theatrical release.
She was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview when movie director Kunihiko Yuyama talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world". Then a short clip showed her playing with Pikachu, but she was blocked by a big circle, and all that could be seen were the "notches" on her ear. The same scene was shown again at the end of the official trailer and she was fully visible.
Whether she is wild or belongs to a Trainer is currently unknown.
Trivia
- Normally, Pichu do not have gender differences, while its evolutions Pikachu and Raichu do. Some have speculated that the notched ear is a possible gender difference that would be included in Generation V games.
- A picture of a Pikachu short poster that featured the notched-ear Pichu alongside Pikachu and Piplup was leaked several days before this Pokémon was officially revealed.
