Acquired By

Start the Game with Pikachu

At the start of the game, when Professor Willow gives you the option to capture a Charmander, Bulbasaur or Squirtle, avoid them. Physically walk away. As you do, the starters will reappear. Repeat the same process until a Pikachu shows up.

Additional Information

• If you walk 10km or more with Pikachu as your Buddy Pokemon, it will be on your shoulder similar to Ash and his Pikachu in the Anime.
• Pikachu wearing Santa Hat are acquired during the 2016 Christmas Event (December 12 to December 29, 2016). Note that Raichu evolved from that Pikachu will keep the Hat.
