    Pichu can only be found in the patch of grass near the exit to Iki Town, so go there. You have a 5% chance of finding one, so it may take a while to do so.

    Be careful not to faint it, or you'll have to search for another one.

    Any ball will do. Your best bet is to use a Nest Ball, since it'll be at a low level.

    What if I can't find Pichu?
    Community Answer
    Use the GTS, wondertrade (it may be hard to find due to it being a hard Pokemon to find) or breed a Pikachu/Raichu.

    How do I evolve a Pikachu?

    If you own a thunderstone, you have to use it on Pikachu to evolve it into Raichu.

  • Question
    All I'm finding is Ratatas! Help?
    Community Answer
    Pichu has a low spawn rate, so it will take a while to find one. If necessary, you might have to use the GTS, as someone mentioned above.
