Trivia

 * Normally, evolved stages of Pokémon cannot be shiny in encounter screen, but Pikachu can.
 * Pikachu is one of the four Starter Pokémon, the others being Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle.
 * Pikachu can be caught as a Starter Pokémon, if the player walk away from three already spawned Starter Pokémon to make them disappear and re-spawn again next to the trainer at his current location. Players have to repeat this action few times until Pikachu show up along with the previous three Starter Pokémon.
 * Unlike the other three Starter Pokémon, Pikachu is not the first stage form of its evolution line, though it was at the time of its release.
 * Pikachu is the most favored and iconic Pokémon in game and there are few easter eggs related with this Pokémon.
 * Unlike the other Pokémon in the game, if Pikachu is tapped while looking at its summary page, it says its name just as it does in the anime series.
 * It has a lineup of various Event forms for certain events in game.
 * Its image and silhouette feature in several game assets, stickers, and Avatar Items.
 * The Pikachu Fan medal is unlocked and leveled up for trainers catching 3, 50, 300, and 1,000 Pikachu PikachuFan Bronze.pngPikachuFan Silver.pngPikachuFan Gold.pngPikachuFan Platinum.png.
 * Previously, Flying Pikachu always knows Fly when caught; it can only learn other charged attacks the normal form can learn by unlocking a second charged attack or Charged TM. However, during the Pokémon Air Adventures 2022, this is no longer the case.
 * Pikachu is the only Pokémon with two attacks than cannot be learned by any other Pokémon, Fly and Flying Press, albeit across different forms.
 * Halloween Pikachu wearing a costume is based on Mimikyu.
