Summary
Pikachu is one of Mew’s four best friends, and the protagonist of the PokéPark duology. Having lived and played with Mew, one day a hole opened up in the ground, and caused him to accidentally fall into a land called PokéPark. He learned that friendship there was basically dying, and as a result the Sky Prism had partially shattered, which could have eventually led to the Sky Pavilion falling on the PokéPark itself. Mew took this as an opportunity to test his friend and save PokéPark at the same time, manipulating events so that specific people, such as those running Attractions, came to find or were given the shards of the Sky Prism that Pikachu needed. Over the course of the game Pikachu gets stronger, tougher, and grows far beyond he ever thought possible, as he gains each Sky Prism shard and even saves the Park itself.
In PokéPark 2, he travels to see the sights of a second island also with the name of PokéPark, where he discovers a conspiracy led by Darkrai to bring all known beings into Wish Park, an alternate universe. Together with Oshawott, Snivy, and Tepig, they must bring Darkrai to justice before the damage to both worlds becomes irreversible.

Intelligence: Gifted, knows just about anything about the Pokémon world to the point where he can pass any given quiz about it. According to Meditite, along with his body he has been training his brain superbly. Has fought and defeated hundreds of different Pokémon. Can play many different Attractions much better than Pokémon well more equipped to do so. Furthermore, Pikachu is an amazingly skilled fighter, catching the attention of and even sometimes defeating Legendary Pokémon themselves. Defeated all 30 Battle Tournament members filled with some of the strongest Pokémon in all of PokéPark, after which it was stated that his moves will be the subject of conversation for years to come
Weaknesses: Pikachu cannot move while actively using Thunderbolt. Iron Tail is a risky move to pull off due to how close he must get to his opponent, though vastly less so in the second game
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Dash: Pikachu gets on all fours and runs extremely fast. The smaller the opponent, the more this move knocks them back, with smaller Pokémon being sent flying and larger ones being knocked only several feet, although the damage stays the same regardless. In battle, this move translates to Tackle, though it keeps all of its previous effects.
- Double Dash: If Pikachu dashes at just the right time during a Dash, he will launch into a sprint much faster than a normal Dash. However, he doesn’t use this in the second game so it is unknown if he still has it.
- Shake Sprint: Replacing Double Dash in PokéPark 2, this allows Pikachu to sprint forwards at breakneck speed upon the player shaking the Wii remote.
- Thunderbolt: Pikachu charges up and hits the opponent with an arc of electricity coming from his body. If the main games are to be believed, this move cannot normally miss when used on an enemy.
- Iron Tail: Taught to him by a Primeape who famously lacks a tail, it is Pikachu’s most risky move; he must get up super close to the opponent to land the attack, but the damage it deals is without equal. Pikachu eventually got so proficient in using this move that he can hit enemies with it multiple times in a single opportunity, and eliminate some of the risk in PokePark 2.
- Friends: By far, a Pokémon’s most powerful ability is the friends they make. This is true in a literal sense for Pikachu, as he seems to possess the ability to bring any Pokémon he’s bonded with directly to his aid, or even all of them. Once they are there, he can draw upon their power.
