-'''Pichu''' is a baby electric mouse Pokémon that was introduced in the second generation games as the new pre-evolved form of [[Pikachu]] from the first generation. This makes it the first form in a three-step evolutionary line, as its evolved forms are Pikachu and [[Raichu]].

 =Information=
-Pichu is smaller than Pikachu, has larger ears, and a shorter tail. Pichu is not yet skilled in storing electricity, so it discharges electricity whenever it is happy or shocked. When Pichu play together, they sometimes short each other out. A Pichu's shock is painful to adult humans, but when attacking it sometimes shocks itself. It can more easily charge itself with electricity on days with thunderclouds or very dry air, and the static energy it emits can be heard from those nearby.

-Pichu's electric sacs are small and cannot store much electricity. It will shock itself if even a small amount of electricity leaks out. They play with each other by touching each other's tails and setting off sparks as a test of courage. Pichu only evolves into Pikachu when it levels up with a high amount of happiness.
-==Variations==
-A Shiny variation of Pichu called the Pikachu-colored Pichu was introduced in the fourth generation games, as a Pokémon obtainable only in events. This Pichu than can could be used to unlock another Pichu variation in ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]''; the Spiky-Eared Pichu appears at the Ilex Shrine if the player has a Pikachu-colored Pichu in front and will automatically join the player.
-According to [[Professor Elm]], the Spiky-Eared Pichu is a special female Pichu that has traveled through time with [[Celebi]], and due to all the time traveling has become incapable of evolution. It cannot evolve, nor can it be traded to other games.
