Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon.

Having evolved from its baby-stage pre-evolution in Pichu when leveled up with 160+ happiness, it evolves into its final evolutionary stage in Raichu via usage of a Thunder Stone.

Pikachu also augments Kanto's starter-Pokémon subset as the quaternary starter—a nod to the anime and the Pokémon Yellow Version game wherein the Electric-type Pokémon was the specially anomalous starter Pokémon and considered by many to be the de-facto protagonist. Starting with Pikachu will unlock tuteeship to the Surf technique as well as a litany of Team Rocket Trio encounters throughout Kanto.

Obtainability

Spawn Information Temporarily Unavailable

Since 17 July 2026, the public Spawn Dump Page has been temporarily disabled and will remain unavailable for an indefinite period.

Because the Pokémon Revolution Online Wiki relied on this data source, it is currently unable to display spawn locations.

For the time being, please rely on the in-game spawn information instead. Spawn information will return once a public data source becomes available again.

NPCs

Starter Pokémon

Pikachu is another starter-Pokémon selectable in Kanto's regional subset of them. In order to select Pikachu, you must first interact with all-three starter-Pokémon options on the table and decline on them when prompted; thereafter, Pikachu will be claimable via the lightning-bolt Pokéball on the floor space adjacent to the Pokédex desk.

See to the right for the specially designed starter-Pokémon Pokéball.

Lt. Surge (boss)

Main article: Lt. Surge (boss)

Upon three-consecutive defeats of Lt. Surge's boss NPC in New Mauville, you will be proffered an additionally selective prize of four Electric-type Pokémon; this includes Pikachu.

As is the case with all Pokémon rewarded from him, it will be initialized at level 15 with a 1/4,096 chance of shininess.
