It’s high time we talk about one of the most popular Pokemon’s whereabouts in Pokemon Legends Arceus. The much-loved Electric-type (more of an adorable type) Pokemon is obviously a part of the latest Hisuian Pokedex. But surprisingly, it is a rare find in Hisui. Instead, you can capture its pre-evolution form, Pichu, much more easily. Again, it’s not going to be easy evolving a Pichu into a Pikachu (or a Pikachu into a Raichu). We will be discussing the process of catching a Pichu, its locations and also talk about the process of its evolution. Keep reading this article.
Pichu is an Electric-type Pokemon of Mouse Category. It is tiny in size but holds considerable resistance against Electric-, Flying-, and Steel-type moves. Pichu (or its evolutions) doesn’t display much strength when it comes to battling powerful Pokemons. But, it is still worth having such an adorable Pokemon. Pikachu is also considered to be a must-have because of its popularity, even among Pokemon newbies.
How to catch a Pichu?
Pichu usually spawns during the day in the following locations:
1) Floaro Gardens and Nature’s Pantry of Obsidian Fieldlands.
2) Golden Lowlands of Crimson Mirelands.
Pichu is not exactly a rare spawn, but its spawn rate is low. You may have to do a second or a third visit to the above-mentioned locations. Pichu is also a runner – make sure you approach it as quietly as possible. Pichu is weak against Ground-type moves.
How to evolve a Pichu in Pokemon Legends Arceus?
Be best friends with Pichu to get Pikachu! Well, it’s not very hard to do so, but it’s certainly time-consuming. To increase friendship, you will need to take Pichu on battles, feed it EXP candy and let it collect resources for you. Upon reaching high friendship with Pichu, open up your Pokedex menu and select Pichu’s icon to evolve it. That’s it, you will now have a Pikachu!
If you want to evolve Pikachu into Raichu, you will need a Thunder Stone. If you have 1000 merit points to spare, head over to the Trade Post in Jubilife Village to buy a Thunder Stone directly. Alternatively, you can head over to Deertrack Heights in Obsidian Fieldlands and break some rocks for a Thunder Stone. Thunder Stone is also a rare drop in Space-Time Distortion events.
Can we get Pikachu or Raichu directly?
Yes, but rarely. Pikachu may spawn in the following locations:
1) Nature’s Pantry of Obsidian Fieldlands.
2) Golden Lowlands of Crimson Mirelands.
3) Windbreak Stand of Cobalt Coastlands.
Raichu may spawn in Golden Lowlands of Crimson Mirelands. Pikachu and Raichu may also spawn in Space-Time Distortion events. However, Pikachu and Raichu’s spawn rate is extremely rare. Evolving a Pichu may seem to be a better option to complete Pichu’s, Pikachu’s, and Raichu’s entry in your Hisuian Pokedex.
