Pikachu

Pikachu is the evolved version of Pichu and can evolve into Raichu.

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, brown eyes, and two red
circles on its cheeks. There are pouches
inside its cheeks where it stores
electricity. It has short forearms with
five fingers on each paw, and its feet
each have three toes. At the base of its
lightning bolt-shaped tail is patch of
brown fur at the base. A female will have
a V-shaped notch at the end of its tail,
which looks like the top of a heart. It is
classified as a quadruped, but it has been
known to stand and walk on its hind legs.

Pikachu is able to release electric

discharges of varying intensity. Pikachu
has been known to build up energy in its
glands, and will need to discharge to
avoid complications. It is also able to
release energy through its tail, which
acts as a grounding rod, as well as
recharging fellow Pikachu with electric
shocks. Pikachu can also electrify itself
to use its signature move Volt Tackle.
When threatened, it looses electric
charges from its sacs, and a group can
build and cause lightning storms. It is
found mostly in forests, where a sure
sign that Pikachu inhabits a location is
patches of burnt grass.

It has been shown that Pikachu sometimes travel in groups. It

raises its tail to check its surroundings, and is occasionally struck
by lightning in this position. Living in forested areas, Pikachu is
found foraging for berries it roasts with electricity to make them
tender enough to eat. It has been observed eating and sometimes
destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.
