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. 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.

Pichu charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. 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.

In Charging After Electrike, multiple Pichu were among the Electric-type Pokémon that charged the Prism Tower during a blackout. However, Pichu are unskilled at controlling their electricity, and sometimes release it by accident when surprised, or when laughing, and shock themselves. It is female-only and has three spikes on the tip of its ear, but otherwise looks the same as any other Pichu. This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. Sho owns a Pichu as part of his goal to have possession of one Pokémon each from the Pikachu evolutionary line.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. 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. When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In Celebi: The Voice of the Forest, a Pichu was seen in a window on a girl's shoulder during Ash's battle with Dundee.

In Pokémon Adventures, Yellow was the one who gave Pichu its species name, creating it as a combination of the name of Pibu's parents, Pika and Chuchu.

In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Mew transformed into a Pichu during the Aura Guardian Festival tournament.
