Overview
Pichu is an Electric-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Tiny Mouse Pokemon (Dex #078). Pichu is found in the Withered Wasteland at the Picnic Set habitat. It carries the Generate specialty, allowing it to power nearby machines during its free time. In the main series, Pichu is the baby form of Pikachu and the first stage of the Pikachu evolutionary line. However, there is no evolution mechanic in Pokopia; each stage is a separate Pokedex entry that must be befriended individually.
Habitat
Pichu lives in the Picnic Set habitat (#020). This outdoor-themed habitat requires the following items:
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Picnic Basket | 1 | Craftable at a workbench |
Seat (any) | 2 | Any type of seating works |
Table (any) | 1 | Any type of table works |
Pichu appears as a Common visitor at this habitat. The Picnic Set is one of the earlier habitats players can construct, since seats and tables are readily available from the start. Pichu is available at all times of day and in all weather conditions.
Other Pokemon in This Habitat
The Picnic Set habitat also attracts Pikachu in Palette Town. Pichu specifically spawns when the habitat is built in the Withered Wasteland region.
Location
Pichu appears in Withered Wasteland, the game's opening region. Since Picnic Baskets, seats, and tables are available early in the game, Pichu can be befriended relatively quickly after starting your adventure.
How to Befriend
Build the Picnic Set habitat in Withered Wasteland by placing a Picnic Basket, two seats, and a table near each other. After a short wait, Pichu will appear at the habitat. Walk up and interact with Pichu to befriend it.
Specialty: Generate
Pichu has the Generate specialty. Pokemon with Generate will power nearby machines in their free time. This is especially useful for keeping electrical devices running, such as lights and powered crafting stations. Station Pichu near machinery that needs a power source, and it will keep the equipment charged and operational.

Decorate Pichu's habitat area with bright, electronic, and cute items to increase its Comfort Level.
