Ukulele Pichu appeared in the Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs anime special. It was captured by Ben in the concluding part. Pichu is the only Generation II Pokémon to be playable in the Super Smash Bros. series, though many others appear from Poké Balls. Pichu may be a combination of ピカピカ pikapika (onomatopoeia for sparkling), チューチュー chūchū (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse), and possibly プチ puchi (petite), as well as being a contraction of Pikachu. It still can't use electricity well. When it's surprised or excited, it discharges electricity unintentionally.

Despite this Pokémon's cute appearance, those who want to live with one should prepare to be on the receiving end of its electric jolts. Pichu seems to draw inspiration from squirrels and various other rodents. Additionally, according to Junichi Masuda, Ken Sugimori came up with the idea for Pichu when Game Freak staff were trying to figure out a Pokémon to be the "next" Pikachu.

It hatches into Pichu in The New Pokémon Is Hatched!!, becoming one of Gold's party members.When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks. It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage. It evolves into Pikachu when leveled up with high friendship, which evolves into Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. In May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, a Coordinator's Pichu competed in the Appeals Round of the Kanto Grand Festival.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: The Spiky-eared Pichu will appear at the Ilex Forest shrine if the player approaches it with the Pikachu-colored Pichu first in the party. (The event will still activate if the Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves.) She will be automatically caught, and cannot be traded outside of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver or evolve. 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. In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Mew transformed into a Pichu during the Aura Guardian Festival tournament. In The Apple Corp, multiple Pichu were stealing apples from Charmaine's apple orchard. In the end, Charmaine decided to keep all of them so they could help around the orchard. The Pichu Brothers are a pair of Pichu who have appeared several times in the anime, including in Pikachu & Pichu, Camp Pikachu, several episodes of Pokémon Chronicles, and Pichu Bros. in Party Panic. The design of one of the brothers is similar to that of Ash's Pikachu and Sparky, in that it has a scruff of fur on its ear.
