Card 004Sun Moon Promos #4 Pokémon Card

Pikachu, the iconic Mouse Pokémon, is an Electric-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I. It is the most recognizable Pokémon globally, serving as the franchise's mascot and Ash Ketchum's loyal companion in the anime. Pikachu evolves from Pichu (when leveled up with high friendship) and evolves into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. Its natural habitat often includes forests and areas with abundant electricity, where it can be found living in small groups. Pikachu primarily feeds on berries and other small fruits, utilizing its electric powers to both forage and defend itself from predators. Its behavior is generally playful and curious, but it can become fierce when protecting its friends or territory, unleashing powerful electric attacks. In the games, Pikachu is often an early-game encounter, known for its speed and special attack prowess, while in the anime, its refusal to evolve and its unique bond with Ash have made it a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing friendship and perseverance. Its type matchup makes it strong against Flying and Water types, but weak against Ground types.
