Pichu Spiky Eared

Back to Pokédex

Spiky-eared Pichu

#21 in the HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokédex • Tiny Mouse Pokémon

This historical Ilex Forest event gift is always a non-Shiny female with a Naughty nature and Static. It arrives at level 30 holding a Zap Plate and knowing Helping Hand, Volt Tackle, Swagger and Pain Split. It cannot breed, evolve, be traded or be transferred to later games, and is excluded from the Battle Frontier. A qualifying event-origin Pikachu-colored Pichu or its evolved form is required; an ordinary wild Shiny does not unlock it.

Pokédex entries

HeartGold

It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.

SoulSilver

Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
