Naero

Main article: Naero (boss)

Naero, who rewards nearly the entire gamut of baby-stage Pokémon, will potentially reward Pichu in his secondary prizeset of Pokémon. There is a 5%-chance probability that the rewarded Pichu will inbornly hold a Light Ball.

Daycare system

Main article: Pokémon Doctor (task system)

As one out of several treatable Pokémon patients in Johto's iteration of the daycare-quest system, Pichu is a tier-2 assignable; as such, it is also potentially claimable upon that objective's completion.

If the Pokémon is successfully tended to, it will be catchable in the end, as it will battle you to challenge you to do such. As is the case with all daycare-assignable Pokémon, it has a 1/4,096 chance of shininess.
