How to Find Pikachu in Pokemon GO
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can catch your very own Pikachu in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive right into the electrifying details of finding everyone’s favorite yellow Pokemon.
Finding Pikachu in Pokemon GO might seem like a thrilling quest. After all, Pikachu is not just any Pokemon; it’s the face of the franchise! So, how can you catch this adorable electric-type Pokemon?
Quick Tips to Catch Pikachu
Finding Pikachu is simpler than you might think. First off, when you start the game as a new player, you can actually choose Pikachu as your starter Pokemon. Just walk away from the initial three starter Pokemons (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) four times, and Pikachu will appear as a fourth option.
Another way to find Pikachu is by exploring areas where electric-type Pokemons usually spawn. Think near schools, industrial parks, and residential areas. Since Pokemon GO uses your phone’s GPS, visiting different places in your real world could lead you straight to a Pikachu. Keep an eye on the weather in the game too; Pikachu loves to pop up more during ‘rainy’ weather conditions because it boosts electric-type Pokemon.
