Description
Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon and the first and is the signature Pokémon of Ash Ketchum. If it feels it is in danger, it will pop up its ears and tail. If that doesn't work, it will try Thundershock, Thunderbolt, or even Thunder if it knows how. It is a worthy ally if well trained.
Your friend, Joey, has always wanted a Pikachu and has even tried disguising himself as a Pikachu to catch one. He finally catches a Pikachu in Viridian Forest 2. Joey's Pikachu knows Thundershock and Thunder Wave. In one of the levels Ash loses his Pikachu and Joey offers to give him his. Ash's Pikachu also makes an appearance later in the storyline. It saves Gary from Zapdos and follows you to Cinnabar Island. Before you begin Cinnabar Gym, Ash's Pikachu leaves with Kyogre for Viridian City. |
