Pikachu is an Electric Pokémon and it is weak against Ground moves. Pikachu's strongest moveset is Thunder Shock & Wild Charge and it has a Max CP of 938. The Pokedex tells that every time Pikachu comes across something new, it has the habit of blasting it with his electricity. If you come across a blackened berry, it's evidence that this Pokémon mistook the intensity of its charge. Pikachu can either be a starter Pokemon or can even be caught out in the wild in Pokemon Go. Here, you will know how to catch a Pikachu in Pokemon Go.

Catching a Pikachu as Your Starter Pokemon

  • When you start a new game, you need to go away from the three starter Pokémon. 
  • A Squirtle, a Bulbasaur, and a Charmander appear on your screen available for the catching.
  • Catching one of these will make the others disappear including Pikachu.
  • So, walk away from these Pokémon until they are out of sight.
  • Now you need to wait till these Pokémon reappear, then walk away again. 
  • When you walk far enough away, the Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander will reappear on your map. Walk away from them again.
  • You need to do this three times and after you have rejected the three normal starter Pokémon three times, Pikachu will appear with them the fourth time.
  • Approach Pikachu to enter "capture" mode and catch it

Catching Pikachu in the Wild

  • Finding Pikachu in the wild is tough but its not impossible.
  • You can start by checking near power plants and also near science museums. 
  • It is also highly possible to find Pikachu late night at 3am. 
  • When Pikachu is near you, you will be able to see its silhouette appear in the sidebar in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
  • Checking the rustling grass is also going to help. If you see a Pikachu silhouette in your nearby list and then see rustling grass on your map then just go to the grass and a Pikachu may come out.
  • Tap on Pikachu to enter "capture" mode and catch it.
