How Do I Get a Pikachu in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can snag yourself a Pikachu in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into that electrifying question. Pikachu, the adorable electric-type Pokemon, is not only the franchise’s mascot but also a sought-after companion in the world of Pokemon GO.
Getting a Pikachu seems like an electrifying adventure, right? Well, it’s simpler than you might think!
Spotting and Catching Pikachu
First things first, to grab a Pikachu, you’ll need to know where to look. Pikachu randomly appears in the wild, so keep your eyes peeled while you’re exploring your surroundings. The game uses your phone’s GPS to locate Pokemon in the real world, making every walk or jog a potential Pokemon hunt.
If you’re just starting out, there’s a neat trick to get Pikachu as your first Pokemon. When you begin the game and are presented with the initial choice of Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle, simply walk away! After you’ve distanced yourself from these options four times, Pikachu will pop up as a fourth option.
