Read more ↓Pikachu, the Electric-type Mouse Pokémon, is one of the most recognizable and beloved creatures in the entire Pokémon franchise. Introduced in Generation I, Pikachu quickly rose to prominence as the series mascot, largely due to its central role as Ash Ketchum's partner in the anime. Its Pokédex entries often describe its ability to generate powerful electrical discharges from the pouches on its cheeks, sometimes storing enough electricity to rival a lightning bolt. Pikachu typically inhabits forests and grasslands, often found in small groups. Its diet primarily consists of berries, which it sometimes roasts using its electric attacks. Known for its playful yet fiercely loyal nature, Pikachu is a common sight across all regions. It evolves from Pichu when leveled up with high friendship and then into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. As an Electric-type, it is strong against Flying and Water types, but weak to Ground types. Beyond the games and anime, Pikachu has become a global cultural icon, representing the entire Pokémon brand and appearing in countless merchandise, movies, and promotional campaigns worldwide. Its distinctive cry and endearing design have cemented its place in popular culture.
