    Make sure you have enough Poke-dollars. If you don't, sell some of the items you have that you don't intend to use.

  • Question
    Is the male or female Pikachu more rare?
    Community Answer
    Both genders have a 50% chance of appearing. The only difference is the tail, which looks like a heart on the female Pikachu.

  • Question
    Where can I catch a male Pikachu in Pokemon X?
    Community Answer
    Pikachu can be found in the forest after the first town - they are a rare encounter, so don't give up after only one or two Pokemon!

      Tips

      • Although it's a very rare chance, the Pikachu may end up holding a Light Ball, which doubles Pikachu's attack and special attack stats.

      • If you have a Pokémon with the Pickup ability in your party, you may be able to pick up Poke Balls, or items that you can sell at the Poke Mart. Zigzagoon and Bunnelby are available to catch in Route 2 if you want a Pokémon with Pickup.
        Thanks
