GAMES

If Pikachu evolves from Pichu, why do you only find Pikachu in the Pokemon games?

Isn’t it really weird? I know there are Pokemon that you find in the wild in their second evolved form, but you can find their first, too [for instance, Wurmple and Cascoon/Silcoon]. But with Pikachu, you find Pikachu but never Pichu. Why is that?

Pikachu didn’t evolve from pichu because at the time of peroid that pikachu was invented, baby forms never existed and you could not breed until Gold Silver and Crystal so pikachu never evolved.

And Ash’s Pikachu won’t evole because he refuses to evolve when ash told him to evolve

Hope this helped
