Pichu are very small, plump, yellow rodent-like Pokemon. It bears a similar appearance to its evolved form Pikachu, but varies in a number of ways. Pichu have diamond shaped ears on the top of their head, with the edges being black and the interior yellow. Underneath their head is a black pattern, that somewhat resembles a collar. Their tails are completely black, and resemble a small lightning bolt, similar to its evolved forms which are larger. Pichu also have round, pink sacs on their cheeks, used for storing electricity.


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. But it is unskilled at storing electric power. The electric sacs in its cheeks are small, so if even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked. Any kind of shock, including being amused or startled, causes it to discharge energy spontaneously. It gets better at holding power as it grows older. Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself. When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage. But more often than not,  Pichu will begin crying, having been startled by the flash of sparks.
