Pichu's name derives from the Japanese chū, referring to the squeak made by a mouse, and to the Japanese prefix pii, which is probably related to the word for "little" (see Cleffa). "Pichu" can also be seen as a shortened form of "Pikachu".

Biology

Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this Pokémon. Its cheeks are pink along with a short tail and huge ears. When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.

Pichu is not yet skilled at storing electricity, and therefore it often sends out sparks when it is happy or if it has been startled. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously. Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself. According to the Pokémon TV series, Pichu is so young that it often shocks itself when trying to attack an opponent.

In the video games

Pichu can be obtained in any game from Pokémon Gold and Silver by breeding a female Pikachu or Raichu or a male Pikachu or Raichu with a Ditto. Due to the fact it is a baby Pokémon, it cannot be obtained by any other way. It's most often used for the special moves gotten from it, as seen below, as it is weak in battle and is generally evolved into Pikachu.

Special Moves

An egg containing a Pichu that knows the move Surf can be obtained in Pokémon Box by storing a total of 1499 Pokémon from a single game in the box. In Pokémon Emerald, a male and female Pikachu breeding whilst holding a Light Ball (only one needs to hold it) will produce a baby Pichu with a new attack called Volt Tackle, making it the only Pokémon able to learn that move. It is impossible to have a Pichu that knows both Surf and Volt Tackle at the same time barring the use of unauthorized cheating devices. Moves are the techniques PokÃ©mon use to battle. ...

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Pichu is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, although a secret, unlockable one. It has many of Pikachu's moves, but due to its lack of control over the electrical charge in its body, using any electrical attacks inflicts about 1-3% of damage to Pichu (or Kirby while wearing a Pichu hat), per attack. This extra damage done to itself is in exchange for more attack power, a nod to its Pokédex entries which cite its ability to yield powerful amounts of electricity, despite being unable to control it. Even though Pichu can dodge attacks easily due to its small size and speed which exceeds Pikachu's, Pichu is the lightest fighter in the game, making it easy to launch off the screen, and its attacks have very little range and power. Therefore, Pichu is often used for handicapping a proficient opponent player in Super Smash Bros. Melee. But it is possible to overcome its weaknesses and last out through a battle if played right. It is unknown if Pichu will return in the new Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Super Smash Bros. ...
