5 Cool Facts About Pikachu
- Pikachu Recharges Electrical Powers While Sleeping
Pikachu use their electrical powers to battle other Pokemon or electrocute something or someone they encountered for the very first time. The red circles on their cheeks are actually pouches for storing electricity. But unlike smartphones, they don’t really plug themselves in some kind of port to recharge. Instead, Pikachu charge up their energy each time they sleep. It’s also possible for a Pikachu to recharge a fellow Pikachu.
- Pikachu Wasn’t Supposed to be Star of the Show
Clefairy was actually the first Pokemon chosen to be the show’s mascot. At some point, she was paired with Pikachu, but it was Pikachu who stole Pokemon fans’ hearts. Although Clefairy is well-loved by many, Pikachu enjoyed enduring popularity, especially for young viewers. Probably because the yellow primary color is easier for kids to recognize than Clefairy’s pink fur.

Ash’s Pikachu, the Pikachu we all know and love, is a lot more powerful than others. This is because it went through tons of one-of-a-kind challenging battles while traveling with Ash and their friends. It even defeated Dragonite, a legendary Pokemon!
