Although I know I have already done a blog post about Ash's Pikachu, today's post is about Pikachu from Pokémon as a whole. Pikachu is an electric type Pokémon. It evolves from Pichu, and it can evolve into Raichu. When this Pokémon finds something new, it blasts it with lightning. It also has electric pouches on its cheeks. These electrical pockets appear to charge up at night while Pikachu is sleeping. Because of Pikachu's immense popularity, it seems to have become the mascot for the Pokémon industry. It is also the most well-known Pokémon in the whole series, as well.
