Pichu is the pre-evolved form of Pikachu. It's an electric Pokémon that only evolves when it achieves a certain amount of happiness.
Information
Pichu is smaller than Pikachu, has larger ears, and a shorter tail. Pichu is not yet skilled in storing electricity, so it discharges electricity when it's happy or shocked. When Pichu play together, they sometimes short each other out. A Pichu's shock is painful to adult humans, but when attacking it sometimes shocks itself.
