Background
| This dropdown contains the synopsis of Spiky-eared Pichu’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |
|---|
| Spiky-eared Pichu first appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as an event Pokémon obtained in Ilex Forest. If the player interacts with the shrine while walking with a Pikachu-colored Pichu, she will appear and join the player's party. If the player's party is full, they will have to deposit a Pokémon and return to accept her.
Spiky-eared Pichu has her own unique in-battle and overworld sprites and cannot evolve or be traded outside of its original game. Aside from her unique sprite, moves, and inability to be traded or evolved, she is nearly identical to a normal Pichu in that her base stats are the same as a normal Pichu's. However, her maximum stats for the Pokéathlon are different. If a Pokémon uses Transform on her, it will have a spiky ear. Shiny sprites for Spiky-eared Pichu exist in the coding of the games, although it is impossible to obtain one due to the game assigning the Spiky-eared Pichu a fixed personality value that is predetermined according to the Trainer ID number and secret ID. This ensures that the personality value will never result in a Shiny nor a male Spiky-eared Pichu. If taken to Professor Elm in New Bark Town, it is revealed that she has traveled through time with Celebi. Elm claims that he and Professor Oak were researching the time travel abilities of Celebi, and adds that this Pichu proves his main theory. He adds that the reason she cannot evolve is because she has been time traveling for so long and then calls all the Pokémon Center attendants to prevent Spiky-eared Pichu from being used in trades; however, the attendants do not permit her into a trading facility prior to this either. Spiky-eared Pichu is also unable to be transferred through the Poké Transfer into a Generation V game due to her past time traveling. |

Other
Standard Tactics: If startled Pichu will unintentionally let out a jolt of electricity [3] When commanded by her trainer, it is whatever the trainer commands her to do.
Weaknesses
- Standard Pokémon Weaknesses: Pokémon being greatly angered causes them to be confused[65]. The usage of struggle makes the Pokémon take recoil damage, even if they've barely damaged an opponent[31]. Pokémon become too scared to move when dealing with an entity[66] that cannot be ID'd[66].Startling a Pokémon in the middle of its evolution will cause it to not evolve[67].
- Type Weakness: Electric Type moves are not very effective against other electric types, grass types, and dragon types and have no effect on ground types. As an electric type, Pichu is weak to ground type attacks.
- Unique Weaknesses: Pichu is unable to evolve due to having traveled so far in time. Pichu is still unskilled at storing electricity[3].

Trivia
- Spiky-eared Pichu shares several similarities with Cosplay Pikachu:
- They are both variants of the Pikachu evolutionary line that are canonically female and only legitimately obtainable as such, but are technically programmed with an equal chance of being male or female in the core series games.
- They were both were introduced in remakes.
- They are both incapable of evolving, breeding, or being transferred to later games.
- They both appear as their regular forms if used in a link battle with an earlier game.
- They both cannot be obtained Shiny, though Shiny variants exist in the game code for them.
- They both appear as alternate costumes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- A picture of a Pikachu short poster that featured Spiky-eared Pichu alongside Pikachu and Piplup was leaked several days before this Pokémon was officially revealed.
- It was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview of Arceus and the Jewel of Life when movie director Kunihiko Yuyama talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world."
- Spiky-eared Pichu's sprite in HeartGold and SoulSilver is in a different pose than that of a normal Pichu, but she retains the two frames that a normal Pichu uses in her animation; thus, she is the only Pokémon to have three animation frames in Generation IV.
- According to Shōko Nakagawa's autobiography, White Pichu was originally considered before being replaced by Spiky-eared Pichu.
- Spiky-eared Pichu was featured in a Pokémon Storage System wallpaper in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Codex Statistics Questions
Q: Shouldn't end game Pokémon scale to Groudon raising the continents?
A: This is further elaborated on in more modern Pokedex entries that it used magma to do so and by evaporating the water, if you want to argue the Pokedex entires contradict each other, we have Team Rainbow Rocket, a segment based off what if timelines where the villains won, Maxie directly notes that he will use Groudon to do this exact thing of shrinking the oceans to raise the lands[68]. So this would be through abilities and not Attack Potency.
Q: Shouldn't at least late game Pokémon get Faster Than Light due to being able to dodge solar beam?
A: Solar beam is absorbing light and then shooting out a blast, it is not a light speed attack but an energy blast that absorbs light energy. On top of this, Pokémon cannot dodge this move without lowering the opponents accuracy or raising their own speed. Dazzling Gleam is a flash of light that is also 100% accuracy. Flash which is a literal flash of light is 100% accuracy. So it's clear light speed attacks are generally unmissable unless their accuracy drop or a character ups their speed to make it harder to tag them. Further examples of them not being this speed, Dragonite is pretty consistently stated in its pokedex as an impressive speed feat for it to circle the globe in 16 hours, and Garchomp is treated as impressive for being able to keep up with planes and fly at sonic speeds.

When I imagined Giratina, the idea of a "reversed world" came to my mind. I thought of concepts such as "E=mc2" and matter and antimatter. There is no top or bottom, no left or right. We increased the number of developers for Diamond and Pearl, so we wanted to clarify the game concepts for the team before we started the project Its better to hammer out the overall vision of the game first, and then all the team members will work towards that vision by throwing out ideas. The concept of "ultimate" was what we started out with for this title." - ↑ 58.0 58.1 Pokémon ORAS - Max Affection
