About Pichu
Pichu is an Electric-type Pokémon, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon (No. 172), introduced in Generation II and native to the Johto region.
Pichu stores electricity in the sacs on its cheeks but discharges it inadvertently when agitated or excited. Being yet immature, the Pokémon's handling of electricity is rather inept.
