'''Pachirisu''' is an electric squirrel-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fourth generation games.

=Information=

Pachirisu is among the types of electric Pokémon that generate electricity in special cheek pouches. They usually channel the electrical charges through their tails. Pachirisu even make fur balls which crackle with static electricity and store them with berries within tree holes. Pachirisu usually live in trees, and a pair of them will often rub their cheeks together to share stored electricity.

=Appearances=

==Mainstream Games==

In ''[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon: Diamond, Pearl]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Platinum Version|Platinum]]'', Pachirisu could be uncommonly found at Route 205 (the southern part only in ''Platinum'') and Valley Windworks as well as Fuego Ironworks in ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl''. In ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'', Pachirisu could appear at the Safari Zone's Wetland and Swamp areas if enough Forest or Plains objects were present. It could also be caught at the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Rally and Resort courses, from which it could be transferred to ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver''.

==Other Games==

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time]]'', Pachirisu could be recruited at Foggy Forest, while in ''Explorers of Darkness'' it could only be recruited following the completion of a Wonder Mail mission in which a Pachirisu had to be rescued from the fifth floor of the Foggy Forest. In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]'', it could be found at Vientown Beach or Ranger School. In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]'', it appeared at Dolce Island, Teakwood Forest, Rasp Cavern, [[Lapras]] Beach and Thunder Temple. A Pachirisu could also be obtained in ''[[My Pokémon Ranch]]'' from a random trade with [[Hayley]], and it could then be transferred to ''Diamond'' or ''Pearl'' (as well as ''Platinum'' in Japan). In ''[[Pokémon Rumble]]'', it was found at Windy Prairie. Pachirisu also appeared in ''[[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]'' at the Meadow Zone.

=Other Appearances=

==Other Media==

*In the Pokémon anime, [[Dawn]] caught a Pachirisu early in the Sinnoh series, and it was her third Pokémon. It was mischievous and she had trouble controlling it, so Dawn initially resigned to her perceived failure and released it. Dawn manged to find it after it defeated [[Team Rocket]] and recaptured it. The Pachirisu was regularly used by Dawn for most of her contests after it gained better control of its powers (initially messing up Dawn's hair often with static electricity). She also made a special Ice Chandelier combination move which Pachirisu and [[Buneary]] used in contests.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, one chapter of the ''Diamond''/''Pearl'' arc featured a Pachirisu belonging to an opponent of Platina's in a Pokémon Contest, and the Pachirisu stole accessories from her Fashion Case when she was not looking, but Platina was still able to win. [[Volkner]] also had a Pachirisu which he passed on to Platina through [[Maylene]] near the end of the arc. Platina later used it in the ''Platinum'' arc.

=Trivia=

*Its name is formed from a combination of Japanese words "pachipachi" (which is onomatopoeia for electric crackling) with "risu" (which means "squirrel").
*Pachirisu follows the tradition of an electric rodent appearing fairly early in a generation's games which usually has no evolutionary line.
