FAQ

How do you unlock Pichu in Pokémon Survivors?

By hatching a Common Egg. Bosses, locked chests and rifts sometimes drop eggs, which hatch in the incubator with the steps you walk in runs; once Pichu hatches, it's yours to play for good.

How does Pichu evolve?

Mid-run, as it levels up: into Pikachu at Lv 12 and into Raichu at Lv 28.

What is Pichu's starting move?

Pichu starts every run with Electro Ball, the family's signature move. The other moves come from level-ups as the line evolves.

Can Pichu Mega Evolve?

Yes: at its final stage, into Mega Raichu X or Mega Raichu Y. The Mega Stone drops from the first rift legendary you beat in the run, and the Mega Evolution lasts 20 seconds.

Is Pichu good in Pokémon Survivors?

On the tier list, built from players’ runs, Pichu is B tier: it beat Mewtwo in 41% of its 181 runs on Normal over the last 30 days.
