As the mascot of thePokemonseries, Pikachu has seen plenty of tributes made to it over the years.From fan-made blanketsto other homemade goods, the Mouse Pokemon has stood as one of the faces of video games and popular culture alongside Mario and other Nintendo characters. InPokemon Scarlet and Violet, Pikachu can be found in various parts of the Paldea region. In 2023, a Tera-Water Pikachu appeared in one of the first Seven-Star Tera Raid battles. Pikachu the Unrivaled had a unique gimmick of starting the fight with a raid shield, which made Grass-type attacks from strong Pokemon the key to success.
