Pikachu
Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ Pikachu) is an Template:T-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
Biology
Pikachu is a short, chubby rodent Pokémon. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each of its cheeks contains a red circle that is a pouch for electricity storage.
Pikachu can generate powerful electricity. When it encounters something new, it will blast it with a jolt of electricity. If you see a blackened berry, it is evidence that this Pokémon mistook the intensity of its charge.
Evolution
Pikachu evolves from Pichu when leveled up with high friendship and evolves into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. In Alola, it evolves into Alolan Raichu.
