Pichu (Japanese: ピチュー Pichu) 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

In the anime
The Pichu Brothers are 2 Pichu that appeared in many features, including Pikachu and Pichu, Camp Pikachu, several episodes of Pokémon Chronicles, and the Pokémon Channel special episode Pichu Bros. in Party Panic. They always get into mischief and have fun.
Pichu also appeared in EP179. A whole bunch of them were stealing apples from a girl's apple orchid.
A Pichu was in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon special. 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 a Skarmory that aslo kidnapped Pikachu.

Other appearances
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.\
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen
- It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
- Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed
- Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
- Pokémon Crystal
- It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
- Pokémon Ruby
- 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.
- Pokémon Sapphire
- 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.
- Pokémon Emerald
- 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.
Game locations
From Generation II onwards, Pichu is able to be obtained by breeding two Pikachu, or a Ditto and a Pikachu, then hatching the resulting egg. It can also (thought very rarley) be found in the wild near the Power Plant.

Trivia
Origin
It draws inspiration from mice, squirrels, and various other rodents.
Name origin
Pichu's name is a shortening of the name 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.
