Overview |
Pikachu are social Pokémon that live in groups in secluded forests, rarely interacting with humans at all. These groups, if large enough, can create small electrical storms in cloudy weather. Pikachu are very cautious Pokémon, keeping their sensitive tails raised to detect minor changes in the atmosphere--a telltale sign that danger may be near. Their tails are sometimes struck by lightning during the storms they create in these poses. If a Pikachu’s tail is disturbed, the Pokémon may attack the offender by biting or using Thunder Shock. Wild Pikachu will touch tails to greet one another. They store electricity in their cheek pouches, which are believed to recharge while they sleep; Pikachu with stronger electricity are said to have softer, more elastic pouches. Pikachu are also very intelligent and friendly to their own kind. They are known to shock hard Berries to roast and tenderize them as well as give fellow Pikachu small shocks to recharge them. Pikachu are popular as the unofficial “fourth starter” of the Kanto region, with many trainers opting to start their journeys with Pikachu as opposed to one of the three traditional starters.
