Here is how to find and catch the Pokémon Pichu and Pikachu in the wild.

 

Finding Pichu and Pikachu

 

Pichu is one of the Pokémon that appear only rarely. Pikachu is easier to find, and to track them both down, just follow this article! 

  • First, head to the Obsidian Fieldlands Camp (Obsidian Fieldlands)
  • Pichu and Pikachu can appear in 3 areas, marked with stars on the map below.
  • 1st and 2nd areas: follow the river southwest of Aspiration Hill
  • 3rd area: head to the spot between Nature’s Pantry and Oreburrow Tunnel
  • Pikachu will appear easily. If Pichu is not there, go back to Jubilife Village and return to the areas to reset their spawn rates

 

 

Catching them

 

  • Use berries to lure them, especially Pichu, which tends to run away. Tip: approach the areas stealthily, or you risk seeing it flee! 
  • Use a Poké Ball 
  • If you wish, start a Pokémon battle, but Pichu might flee

 

 

Evolving Pichu 

 

If you want to get Pikachu directly from your Pichu, you just need to raise its friendship to the maximum. To do so: 

  • Keep it in your party
  • Have it pick up resources
  • Make it battle other Pokémon
