Electric Type Attack Effectiveness

Pokémon of these Types are very vulnerable to Electric-Type attacks:

Electric-type Pokemon are not very effective against.

Those few who, in their childhood, did not suffer the fate of becoming a fan of the best-selling Japanese anime series "Pokemon", or whose soul was not touched by the game Pokemon GO, are often interested in the question: "What is Pikachu?" Or rather, who is it? And why is this funny word now heard by millions?

What is Pikachu? His role in the anime "Pokemon"

Pikachu - bright yellow color, with a good-natured expression on his face, looks like a fantasy representative of rodents. Pokemon Pikachu is the personification of all pocket monsters; it is the most memorable symbol and part of the brand.

In the cartoon "Pokemon", from which the world fame of these characters and the worldwide introduction to catching Pokemon began, he appears in the pilot episode as the starting monster of Ash (the main character of the anime), although he is not one of the three classic Pokemon of novice trainers: usually chosen Squirtel, Charmander and Bulbasaur. Having slept through the selection, Eshu receives a cute monster with a very interesting character - Pikachu (the cartoon is based on the relationship between these characters). Unlike other Pokémon, Pikachu is characterized by its love of freedom and reluctance to live in pokeballs (red and white Pokémon houses from which trainers call them to participate in fights with other monsters), which initially led to misunderstandings between Ash Ketchum and his first monster. But already at the very beginning of the first season of Pokemon, he and Ash become best friends who always come to each other’s aid and easily find a common language.

Popular game Pokemon GO: what is it? Pikachu in Pokemon GO: how to make a monster your starting Pokemon?

Especially for fans of the popular anime "Pokemon" and for everyone who is tired of traditional games for smartphones, Nintendo has created a masterpiece - Pokemon GO - not just an application for fans of pocket monsters, but an opportunity to plunge into the magical world of Pokemon mania and become a Pokemon trainer.

As you know, the game is based on the anime "Pokemon" and its motives. When starting the application, the player is asked to catch one of three starting Pokemon - Charmander, Squirtel or Bulbasaur. But Ash Ketchum chose Pikachu as his first and most beloved friend among the monsters, and therefore Pokemon GO players are also given a unique opportunity to choose this particular Pokemon as their starting Pokemon from the very beginning of the game.

During the game, a radar pulsates around the character - a semicircle, which displays Pokemon that are in close proximity to the trainer, and which he can catch using a pokeball. And here many users immediately have a question: what’s the matter, what is it? Pikachu was Ash's starting monster, and the application does not provide the opportunity to select it, since this Pokemon is not displayed in the available radius? If you follow the game's recommendations and click on one of the three Pokemon in the radius, the opportunity to quickly get Pikachu at the start of the game will disappear. To catch the player, he must “escape” from the offered Pokemon several times - and within 10-20 minutes after the “escape” Pikachu will appear in the radius.

Pikachu as a Pokemon symbol

It is impossible to say 100% that it was Pikachu who brought fame to the cartoon and the game Pokemon GO - every fan of Pokemon mania has his own thoughts about what attracts him so much to the Japanese masterpiece. And yet, the reasons for Pikachu’s popularity are quite simple to explain.

Firstly, this Pokemon is the most famous and commercial. Pikachu appears on the screen more often than other monsters in anime and takes part in battles.

Secondly, Pikachu captivated everyone with his charm and sweet character. His pleasant appearance as a fairy-tale rodent with a yellow color immediately attracts you. And the relationship with Ash proves that the Pokémon and its trainer are not just partners, but real friends who worry and care about each other, and actively help their colleagues and other monsters.

Thirdly, he is a positive character. His actions and fights with the members of Team Rocket represent kindness and decency, and many children, when watching this animated film, adopt the best traits of the yellow monster.

Pikachu is the most popular Pokemon that any trainer wants to catch. This animal is a reliable friend and companion of the main character of the anime series.

When combining Thunder Shok + Thunder attacks, Pikachu's average damage per second is: 16,447 (13.3 seconds).

When combining Thunder Shok + Thunderbolt attacks, Pikachu averages 15,833 damage per second (7.5 seconds).

The creators of the first Pokemon game have revealed the secret of who was taken as the inspiration for one of the most famous pocket monsters - Pikachu. Despite the fact that on the main website about Pokemon it is designated as a mouse, the author of the character said that she drew it from another rodent.

Despite the fact that the Pokemon media franchise was created back in 1996 (yes, 22 years ago), pocket monsters are still popular in a number of countries. One of the most popular monsters is definitely Pikachu. The other day, its creators revealed the secret of who became its prototype.

Despite the fact that on the main website about Pokemon - Pokédex - Pikachu is designated as a mouse, designer Yomiuri Atsuko Nishida, who previously worked at Game Freak, said that the prototype of Pikachu was another rodent, writes Kotaku. According to her, Pikachu is nothing other than a squirrel.

At that time, I really took on the squirrel persona. I wanted the character to have chubby cheeks. Also the squirrels have a cute tail (I wanted the character to have a tail). However, since the character is associated with lightning, I made the tail in the shape of a lightning bolt.

Nishida said that while working on Pikachu, she wanted to get a squirrel herself. However, this does not mean that squirrels were popular in Japan. According to the designer, she just loves animals and already had a ferret and a turtle.

After the character was named Pikachu, the creators decided it would be a mouse Pokémon, with co-creator Satoshi Tajiri then coming up with the more vague term "electric rodent." Since then, the image of Pikachu has changed several times and continues to do so, but its ancestor was still a squirrel.
