PikachuMajestic Dawn #70 Pokémon Card

Pikachu, the iconic Electric-type Mouse Pokémon, was first introduced in Generation I. It is the most recognizable Pokémon globally, serving as the franchise's mascot. Pikachu evolves from Pichu when leveled up with high friendship, and then into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. Its natural habitat includes forests and power plants, where it can be found living in small groups. Pikachu primarily feeds on berries and fruits, using its electric abilities to both forage and defend itself. In the games, Pikachu is notable for its high Speed and Special Attack stats, and its signature move, Volt Tackle. In the anime, Ash Ketchum's Pikachu is a central character, known for its unwavering loyalty and powerful, often unpredictable, electric attacks. Its widespread appeal and endearing design have cemented its status as a cultural icon, representing the entire Pokémon brand.
