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 yet, 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
- Because this Pichu is female, her ear is shaped differently, and the fact that Pichu is the only one in its evolution family that has no gender differences (as of Generation IV, some imply that she may be the female of her species for future generations.
- A photo of the movie poster which showed Notched-Ear Pichu alongside Pikachu and Piplup was leaked before she was officially revealed.
