Want to have a cute Alola Raichu on your team? First, you'll have to find a Pichu. This article will explain how.

Steps

  1. 1
    Go to Route 1. Pichu can only be found in the patch of grass near the exit to Iki Town, so go there. You have a 5% chance of finding one, so it may take a while to do so.
  2. 2
    Run in that patch of grass until you find a Pichu.

  3. 3
    Damage the Pichu a bit. Be careful not to faint it, or you'll have to search for another one.
  4. 4
    Use a Poké Ball. Any ball will do. Your best bet is to use a Nest Ball, since it'll be at a low level.
  5. 5
    Make sure it is registered to your Pokédex and save.

    Pichu has a low spawn rate, so it will take a while to find one. If necessary, you might have to use the GTS, as someone mentioned above.
