History

Detective Pikachu was once an ordinary Pikachu belonging to Harry Goodman, a detective who works at Ryme City Detective Agency. While on a case, Harry and Pikachu met with a car accident where Harry goes missing and Pikachu gains amnesia while also mysteriously gaining the ability to act and speak like a human. Two months after the accident, he meets Tim Goodman sometime after Tim arrives in Ryme City. Together with Tim and the Ryme City Detective Agency, Pikachu solves puzzles and mysteries.

Personality and characteristics

In addition to his ability to talk, Detective Pikachu displays a number of human traits. He likes drinking coffee and tea, and is easily infatuated with attractive human women.

Detective Pikachu appears to have sacrificed most of his abilities as a Pikachu. As such, he is not very fast. However, as a talking Pokémon, he can interpret and translate testimony from other Pokémon.
