Voice actor Japanese English As Pachirisu Chinami Nishimura

Dawn's Pachirisu (Japanese: ヒカリのパチリス Hikari's Pachirisu) was the third Pokémon caught by Dawn in Twice Smitten, Once Shy. Its voice actress in both English and Japanese is 西村ちなみ Chinami Nishimura.

Pachirisu has a very hyperactive personality. It loves to have fun with Dawn and her other Pokémon. It also tends to give Dawn a bad hair day by using Discharge. Dawn felt that she had failed Pachirisu as a trainer because of its behaviour and temporarily released it. A while later she realized that she made a mistake and went back to get it only to find that Jessie already had set her sights on the electric squirrel. However it managed to defeat Team Rocket and Dawn recaptured it.

Pachirisu seems to be a bit of a con artist. For a moment it appeared to want to join Jessie and left with her. However this was only to get the spray bottle from her that had the formula in it that would release Dawn and the others from Team Rocket's sticky trap. This also shows that Pachirisu is a lot smarter than it seems.

Moves used

• Spark
• Sweet Kiss
• Quick Attack
• Discharge

Trivia

• Dawn's capture of Pachirisu marks the first time a main character has ever caught an Template:Type2 Pokémon, and it is the first Electric-type owned by a main character besides Pikachu.
• For DP021, Professor Oak's lecture is about Dawn's Pachirisu. He writes this Pokémon senryū about it: パチリスが　おめめさめたよ　パッチリす
• In the dub of Steamboat Willies! it is revealed that Pachirisu is the youngest of Dawn's Pokémon, as well as second youngest of all the Pokémon belonging to Ash and company, second only to Happiny, who was just born an episode earlier
• In DP061, Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfits. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female.
• The pattern on Pachirisu's head indicates it's male, but it was also seen wearing a cheerleading outfit in DP061, indicating it's female. The gender hasn't been confirmed either way.
