Stats and Stat Score
Pichu has 79 HP, 103 speed and a 0.92x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.
Compared with the whole roster, its HP is among the lowest on the roster, its speed is about average and its attack is among the lowest on the roster. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 21.2, which puts it at rank 927 overall, rank 92 of 100 among Johto Pokemon and rank 64 of 64 Electric-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Pichu moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Pichu starts every run with Thunder Shock: a lightning-fast bolt that pierces several enemies.
The level-up cards can then offer 11 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 3 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Electric moves: Thunder Shock, Discharge, Thunderbolt
Weaknesses and resistances
Pichu takes extra damage from Ground (1.6x). It resists Electric (0.6x), Flying (0.6x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 14 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Pichu are the ones whose first type is Ground. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Electric moves do not hit harder just because Pichu shares the type.
How to get Pichu
Pichu is part of the Johto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (45% for Common) and then picks one of the 25 Common Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Pichu a 1.8% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 56 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 15 coins, or 45 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
A rarity-1 Pokemon like Pichu can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.
Shiny Pichu exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Pichu as an enemy
Pichu can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is shooter: it keeps its distance and fires shots at you from range.
