Some of the fan-favorite Pokemon are returning in this game, and players would be eager to add them to their collection. Here is how to evolve and catch Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu in the game.

To find the Pichu in the game, you need to head to the following locations.

• Obsidian Fieldlands: Floaro Gardens, Nature's Pantry
• Crimson Mirelands: Golden Lowlands

If you are looking to evolve Pichu, you need to know that it is a bit different from other Pokemon. For Pichu to evolve, you need to ensure that the friendship level is high enough. Once that requirement is met, you can simply level it up to evolve it to Pikachu. Friendship levels can be raised by winning battles, healing them, and gathering resources. Alternatively, you can find Pikachu in the following locations

• Obsidian Fieldlands: Nature's Pantry
• Crimson Mirelands: Golden Lowlands
• Cobalt Coastlands: Windbreak Stand

After you have got Pikachu, you must be wondering how you can evolve it into Raichu. For that, you need to get a Thunder Stone first. Unlike the other games, you can simply buy a Thunder Stone directly in the game. The Thunder Stone can be obtained in Jubilife Village for 1,000 Merit Points, from the Trading Post. Alternatively, you can head to Deertrack Heights to break some gem formations and find the Thunder Stone. This might take a bit, but if you don't have enough Merit Points, this is the best way to obtain it. If you wish to catch a Raichu directly, you can find it in the location given below.

• Crimson Mirelands: Golden Lowlands
