Pichu DeltaHolon Phantoms #76 Pokémon Card

Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon, is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, making its debut in *Pokémon Gold* and *Silver*. As the pre-evolved form of Pikachu and Raichu, Pichu represents the earliest stage of this iconic evolutionary line, known for its adorable appearance and playful nature. Pichu is characterized by its small size, bright yellow fur, and pink cheek pouches that store electricity. In the wild, Pichu are often found in groups, playing together and accidentally shocking each other or their surroundings due to their inability to fully control their electrical charges. This uncontrolled electricity is a key aspect of their lore, as they often discharge when surprised or amused, learning to regulate it as they evolve into Pikachu. Pichu has played various roles in the Pokémon anime, notably as a recurring character in *Pokémon Chronicles* and as a prominent character in *Pokémon the Movie: Pichu and Pikachu's Rescue Adventure*. Its cuteness has made it a beloved figure, appealing to fans across all ages and contributing significantly to the franchise's enduring popularity. Its presence highlights the theme of growth and development within the Pokémon world, evolving from a vulnerable baby Pokémon to a powerful partner.
