Pichu is a small ground-dwelling rodent. Its fur is very short, and it has bright yellow coloration. The tips of its large ears are black, and it has additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail is short, but still bears some resemblance to the large lightning-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It has pouches in its cheeks, which are pinkish colored and used for storing electricity. Its nose is extremely small, almost like a dot.
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing electrical sparks from its cheeks. However, since Pichu is only a baby, it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity unintentionally. Fortunately, it is not able to store large amounts of electricity in its body.
Pichu, and its evolution family, Pikachu and Raichu, are the only known Pokémon that can learn Volt Tackle.
Pichu are social Pokémon known for their playfulness. They tend to be very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They are usually found in groups, typically with members of their own species, but occasionally with other types of Pokémon. Like its evolutions, it is capable of storing electricity from the atmosphere, however, this ability requires much practice to perfect. Pichu are prone to randomly discharging electricity since they are not fully mature. Pichu are frequently observed touching tails with each other, creating a shower of sparks. While most Pichu become distressed when they accidentally discharge sparks at another Pichu, this tail touching ritual seems to be some form of test for the young Pokémon. If more sparsely depicted, this tail-touching ritual may also be performed with its evolution, Pikachu, although it is advisable that if other Pokémon specie attempt to participate in this ritual that they are safeguarded against electrical shock, such as from being an Electric-type.
Pichu primarily live in forests like their evolution, Pikachu, although they have also been depicted to thrive in urban areas.
