Location
Viridian Forest: 1%

Viridian Forest 2: 1.5% - this percentage reflects the chance that a particular wave be a pikachu wave; not that each appearing pokemon spawn as a pikachu. This means that when pikachu do appear, there will be around 5 of them.

Shiny
A Shiny version of this Pokémon is available in the game. It has a 0.1% (0.01% in multiplayer mode) chance of appearing in the wild, in the same locations as the original Pokémon. The shiny version has a different color scheme, a shine effect, and his life bar is always red, so he is always catchable. Shiny added as of version 2.4.
