The code is at the end of the post, but this is a special event so please read carefully. You will only be able to obtain one Pikachu so choose wisely and pay attention to the dates! The day that you use this code will determine what Pikachu you receive.
- 9/19/17 – 9/25/17: Original Cap Pikachu — Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Thunder & Agility
- 9/26/17 – 10/2/17: Hoenn Cap Pikachu — Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Thunder & Iron Tail
- 10/3/17 – 10/9/17: Sinnoh Cap Pikachu — Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail & Volt Tackle
- 10/10/17 – 10/16/17: Unova Cap Pikachu — Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail & Volt Tackle
- 10/17/17 – 10/23/17: Kalos Cap Pikachu — Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail & Electro Ball
- 10/24/17 – 10/30/17: Alola Cap Pikachu —Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail & Electro Ball
The code is PIKACHU20 and can be redeemed through the Mystery Gift menu of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon once per game. If you have any questions, ask in the comments below!
Thanks for the tip Llyod!
I can’t decide.
Since I’ve got both Sun and Moon does that mean I can get two of them? My brother has Moon so I guess that is another. I’ll probably get Kanto, Sinnoh, and Hoenn I guess…
So since I have a copy of sun and moon does that mean I can get all the pikachus by deleting my data each week on my copy of moon?
Actually I think that would work.
Hopefully it will because I want them all for collections sake lol
I may follow your lead and reset my moon.
Presumably yes.
Hopefully it does because I want them all for collections sake
Same, though I can’t do it.
Yup, you can just New Game and get a new Cap Pika. I have 2 Sun Carts and 1 Moon. Will be getting a bunch more Ash-Cap Pikas on my 2nd Sun cart.
Could we get a top or pinned comment explaining the difference between each Pikachu?
Or the info added into the body of the article?
What do you mean? They are wearing different hats..
Attacks vary, I think that’s it other than the hats.
Okay, that makes more sense lol
Original: Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Agility, Thunder
Hoenn: Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, Thunder
Sinnoh and Unova: Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, Volt Tackle
Kalos and Alola: Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, Electro Ball
Sorry, I will add that into the comments 🙂
I’d also add that they are all locked to the Hardy nature. The ‘I choose you’ one won’t be (as far as we know).
The first Cap Pikachu (Original Hat) is at Level 1 signifying season 1 of the anime.
The second cap (Hoenn Hat) is set at Level 5 signifying season 5 of the anime
The third cap (Sinnoh Hat) is at Level 10 signifying season 10 of the anime
The fourth cap (Unova Cap) is set at Level 14 signifying season 14 of the anime.
The fifth cap (Kalos Cap) is set at Level 17 signifying season 17 of the anime.
The sixth cap (Alola Cap) is set at Level 20 signifying season 20 of the anime.
As for their moves:
Original Hat: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Agility, Quick Attack (Same moves Pikachu had from seasons 1-4)
Hoenn Cap: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Quick Attack, Iron Tail (Same moves Pikachu had from seasons 5-9)
Sinnoh Cap: Thunderbolt, Volt Tackle, Quick Attack, Iron Tail (Same moves Pikachu had from seasons 10-13)
Unova Cap: Thunderbolt, Volt Tackle, Quick Attack, Iron Tail (Same moves Pikachu had from sesaon 14-16)
Kalos Cap: Thunderbolt, Electro Ball, Quick Attack, Iron Tail (Same moves Pikachu had from season 17-19)
Alola Cap: Thunderbolt, Electro Ball, Quick Attack, Iron Tail (Same moves Pikachu currently has in season 20)
The Pikachu you claim comes with a Pikashunium Z, it’s exclusive Z-Crystal that transforms Thunderbolt into a Z-Move, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt
I really hate the one per game thing. I’ll probably go for Original and Green one. I mean it’s not the most groundbreaking thing ever but I’d like all of them.
Wait… I cant get all of them? that actually upsets me a lot
I don’t know whether I should hold out a small flicker of hope they repeat it later on with a different code or distribution method.
Unless you have another copy of either Sun or Moon.
Still sad that I can’t download ’em all. ._.
the only one that matters is the original hat Pikachu. That being said I wish I could get them all..,……at least I’ll be able to get the movie hat Pikachu in November when I see the movie. *sigh*
lucky you :]
I’ll pick Unova Pikachu that’s it, that region is special to me :3
Ohhhhhh
and what makes unova so special for you??
I expect an essay in your reply :]
It’s just because the characters, the music, the region, the story and the fact it was my first Poke game.
I don’t need an essay 😛
So it’s once per game? As in, I can get 2? I think Hoenn and Sinnoh is a pretty safe bet…although Unova is a strong contender.
If you have two games yeah.
You can get them all if you’re willing to delete your save file after storing the Pikachus in Bank. I’m going to do that on Moon as my Sun file is too important in terms of breeding and such
/vp on 4chan is full with moaning Genwunners lool. Not a day goes by where they bitchhh about something, be it the designs of newer gens or something else. Its hilarious to read
They’re easily the most pathetic group of so called fans.
What they moaning about now??
I saw a post that was comparing the 1996 designs to present and the caption was ”what went wrong?” lool
wtf like that’s genuinely stupid. The gen 6/7 designs are the best in the series imo.
Oh hey GF should totally make 150 voltorbs and muks every gen. That would be cool.
Hillariously enough Pokken seems to have gotten positive reception there, I found a really good guide there
I’m gonna try get hold of multiple of each Pika’s
I’ll trade them onto you guys let me know which ones I should get more of

You missed Starmie for gen 1, Sneasel and a few other s for gen 2, a LOT of gen 3 mons, Dusknoir is terrible competitively, 5 is missing Jellicent, 6 is missing Dragalge and Chesnaught, 7 is missing Decidueye (It’s in a better place than like half the mons listed on your list), Primarina, Dhelmise, Bewear, Bruxish, and MAYBE Tsareena (this one is incredibly debatable). Incineroar, Minior, Mudsdale, and possibly Pyukumuku should all be removed. Minior is extremely easy to counter, Mudsdale is full of various weaknesses, Pyuku can be taunted one time and made useless, and Incineroar will AT MOST rise to top viability NU because it’s stab combo is already somewhat limited in current use and its only reliable fire moves are fire blast and Flare Blitz, making it outclassed by basically every other alolan fire type besides turt. Intimidate won’t do much as the things it tries to intimidate don’t usually die to it
Sorry if this came off rude, just some edits
Oh and Lapras is kinda useless too
Hoenn and Sinnoh are the cutest ones tbh
Well this event just triggers me in so many ways. I want to be able to get all of them but I can only get two.
The original one is a must but I have no idea what other one I’ll get.
I mean we could all work together on here and if anybody could clone the Pikas, that would be brill. If not, damn you Pokemon!
Me and a group of friends are working on obtaining all Pikachu hat forms, so I can clone them all, so everyone can have one of each. I can clone you the ones you’re missing if you want.
Ooooh that would be amazing if you were able to do that! I think I’ll probably getting the first two ‘chus – so Original and Hoenn. Having the other four would be amazing!
Now that Pokken has 100% become a full fighting game, I’m probably gonna pick it up a lot more now. Expect updates
Me and a group of friends are working on obtaining all Pikachu hat forms, so I can clone them all, so everyone can have one of each.
If anyone is missing a certain hat, lemino and I’ll be willing to clone one for you.
You dont have to clone them lol. Just store a Pikachu in Bank, erase save data and start a new file to get another one
I’m not doing that. My saves are too important to me.
Wait a second. Does this method actually work?
Yep because its not a serial code you pick up from a store
Yes. Insert the code, get the Pikachu, put it in Bank, restart the game and either get another one of the same or wait for the next Cap Pikachu to insert the code again. Repeat this to get all 6.
Well I’ve noticed a LOT of people see Minior and think that it’s an AMAZING Pokemon or are confused why it’s so bad… Lemme explain.
Minior has HANDS DOWN one of the worst translated abilities ever…. what do I mean by that? I mean this…
It’s ability is a potentially broken concept that can make an amazing mon but in execution, it’s utter garbage. Why you may ask? Cause of this
1. It’s attack forme, even with shell smash, is not good. It’s attack stats peak at 100 and its speed is 120. That may SOUND really good and it can hit hard but….
Well… a lot more lives it than should be able to. Since it typically runs Focus sash Shell smash, any status lowering move or even priority will INSTANTLY screw it over. It basically is begging for a priority move to do much of anything…..
2. Defensive stasts: I know people think Minior is so good with its ability to switch styles but it LITERALLY has 100 in each defense and 60 HP. You’re not living much…. the defensive forme is basically worthless. If it was only attack mode and had immunity to status like it currently has, it would actually be a better mon because it wouldn’t abused to stay in defense form and die without doing anything. All in all this mon isn’t good competitively. That simple
Also don’t get me started on how goddamn bad it is against a speedy Scarfer
This feels more like an opinion rant than an explanation…
Also Rock//Flying Defensive
I used a pink Minior of them on my first playthrough (thanks to the sappy trailers) and boy was it hard to use. After I beat the game, I got the IV judge thing on the PC and found it had basically NO IVs.
Tl dr; This is a response to star from a prev article where she was very hostile and I’d like to clear the air.
Star there’s no need for that rude and aggressive behaviour.
I come here as a fan, a friend with the hope to share positive moments with others as a mature individual.
If you don’t share these views in being responsible and respectful then please don’t comment on my post.
Alternatively we can bury this and all get along with USUM round the corner.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we can respectfully disagree and that’s what I do.
I don’t ridicule anyone here, I do engage in conversation voicing my disagreements but respectfully and that’s what makes this place enjoying.
We all have different views but we are together as one BIG group.
You’re problem is you like to judge others and don’t like being challenged. It’s you who needs to get of your high horse and respect others. It’s a 2 way thing.
Now, I’m happy to be your friend and I think we can be good friends too :]
BUT the ball is in YOUR court.
Why bring it up now? No offense but it kinda just brings up drama by mentioning it now. I recommend just dropping it. Everyone has reasons liking and disliking things, but as somebody who knows star pretty well, trust me when I say she has zero bad blood when she’s talking negative about the game, it’s just stating of an opinion. She isn’t telling you not to be excited, it’s just sharing of emotion
If you reread the first line it’s my attempt to clear the air from early today. Not drama. I ain’t about that life.
It’s all about respect and being friends. That’s what I’m hoping to achieve here. It’s not about a game. She replied to my post in a very hostile manner. I could retaliate or not even bother, but I’m trying to build bridges and bring positivity about.
I hope you understand this.
Oh, so you are the mod now? And other people have to shut up because they disagree with you? I know Star very well from the past years and what you’re saying is hardly true about Star’s personality. If there’s an acute problem coming up, contact a mod and we’ll take a look at it, but don’t go solving drama on yourself, more often than not it creates more drama.
ayy the boi Dae
No I’m not a mod and it’s not about her disagreeing dae. I specifically stated that we are all entitled to our own opinions and that the main thing is we respect each other and cherish the positive times ahead.
My response is from earlier today where she replied to an innocent post of mine being rude telling me to get off my high horse and that im a goddess etc
I could have retaliated but rather I hope we can be friends.
Now I don’t want any trouble, I just want us all to respect each other and she was very very rude earlier.
I read the post, to be entirely fair, you have been pretty aggressive towards her yourself
Look I made a post about me thinking that USUM is in a diff timeline etc
A few people replied and we engaged in conversation.
Then out of the blue she came accused me of being a goddess and all sorts of things for no reason.
I’ve been very mature considering hiw she spoke to me and even then im saying lets be friends.
Look at the last article and you’ll understand better.
I’ve literally seen the exact exchange, I understand it perfectly fine
Nope
No need for that rude and aggressive behavior
No need for that rude and aggressive behavior https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0b0f0ca38eb3aa3b0c3830422fed1ecd15aeb153ad076acddee61b15f3060566.jpg
No need for that rude and aggressive behavior
Oh yeah well put that in context star. I’ll say it again, good luck and don’t drown yourself coz then ill have to get a mantine to save you haha
Why do you have to take everything so emotionally?
Chill out 🙂
You want context?

I’m actually being very supportive of you, there. You’re failure to acknowledge that is what’s causing all the tension.
Lets leave it at that maybe in a few days time you’ll feel better!
Oh, please. Own up to your fuckups. People will respect you more for that then pretending to trying to be nice and perfect all the time.
I’ll drop it since there’s nothing that’s going to be solved by continuing on. But don’t try to pretend like you were the one being antagonized again
Look you’re dragging it on now. It was you who attacked me on that previous article. If anyone should be apologising it’s you.
Now I’m gonna suggest we drop it here, maybe in a few days time when some alolan forms show up things will get better
You’re acting like a jerk
Go eat some dirt
If this offends you, don’t take it so emotionally
“Chill out”
because CLEARLY everyone has the same tolerance to being attacked because nobody has stress or emotional things that make them take things to heart right?
seriously, drop it
Look kid I didn’t attack anyone. It was Star who was rude towards me. Here I am trying to clear the air and you’re just siding with her for your own benefits.
I’d rather you help us both objectively rather than taking sides.
Anyways I’m ending it here. Please drop it.
I’m gonna be honest here, I’m annoyed with both of them. Although, Star is just sharing her opinion, even if I don’t agree with it.
Respect for being objective ?
It’s just that your tone is very similar to this sea lion: http://wondermark.com/c/2014-09-19-1062sea.png
You lack the understanding to see what’s really wrong, while you hide yourself behind a shield of ‘kindness’.
Hahaha noo
I’m a proper chilled person.
Like I said earlier I want us all to be positive.
Well I’m POSITIVEly sure that forcing people to always be positive isn’t good
It’s negative, your use of ELECTRONics is kinda nasty
(I had to stretch for that)
How can anyone force anything over the net? I don’t force anything don’t worry we call all do whatever we want as long as we are respectful!
So you’re one of those people..
Yeah. You’ve misunderstood me dude.
Or maybe it’s my DP doesn’t give a positive impression does it!
I didn’t mean that in a positive light
I don’t think we’ve spoken before have we?? I don’t recognise your name
It’s Seraph
Seraph as in Seraph?
Or wasn’t there a user called Seraph the sheep??
SpectralSeraph
So you’re one of those people..
Why is this the most magical thing I’ve seen in literally forever
What other treasures does the picture gallery held by the one who goes by Dae hold

I have this
I hate your existence
I know you don’t really mean that
You know me too well
What’s my favorite color
Pure, dark, and soulless
Black
L I K E H I S S O U L
Purple?
Thank god you got that
Drew some of mine regional forms today https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9a23dd2d63a63e97956c231162e6a579ef7d237107a0cc138a412ca972c3c336.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/51b7f4074ef2c953427c8129cf5b8c11054352f085b75201a18059978f5b7745.jpg
You were so close to having a good regional form with hippowdon but ya blew it… you were so clooose
Where did he fail? It’s good enough for me
Adding the dark type…. Like it looks REALLY good but…dark? If he added any other type I’d love it
Like it looks like a perfect fire rock type
Yeah, it could be rock and made of charcoal
Exactly, it would be perfect
It’s full of bloodlust and eats any prey it catches near its lava pool.
I kinda hate it that I was that close to satysfying you and I failed.
It’s fineee, I just wish it wasn’t dark
Though this, in my opinion, is an improvement
Catching preys in a hostile manner doesn’t make a Pkm a dark type, Sylveon does that and it’s still Fairy.
And dark types aren’t really aggressive, they’re usually shown as calm and collected
Some cool secondary ideas
Rock- Reference charcoal in some way with a volcanic theme
Poison- the smoke lava eruptions make
Water- I mean you could go the scalding water route but I recommend not doing this one
Reasons for type and appearance change?
Hippos lived near volcanoes, Potas has a lot of bloodlust and eats any pokemon that comes near its lava pool.
Lux line is based on the Slavic God Perun and Zel line on the Slavic Goddess Mokosz
So their fire type made them more aggressive?
I’m good with that :3
I just see now how bad the photo quality (not mentioning how bad my drawing skills are)
The photo and and drawing quality aren’t really important, you can still see and make out the designs of the Pkms
Not feeling the Buizel and Luxray lines but that hippodown is pretty rad
Has it ever been explained why Fearow resembles Ho-Oh so much?
Does it?
Even its Dex entry in Moon hints at it? ”Drawings of a Pokémon resembling Fearow can be seen in murals from deep in ancient history.”
Another Mon that isn’t good for reasons people seem to not get
Incineroar
Remember kids… Intimidate doesn’t make a mon good. Arbok has intimidate and coil and look where that got it
On paper, a bulky intimidating U-turn mon with access to fire moves sounds REALLY good…but of course it isn’t .. I’m talking about it now
1. That moveset….just…. wtf… it gets moves like leech life and outrage… like… why? And moves like knock off, fire punch, sucker punch (though what’s Incineroar surprising), moves it badly needs are missing from its moveset entirely. Flare Blitz is bad since it’s used defensively. There’s so many moves it needs but it gets none of them.
2.Terrible Defensive typing …. just… it’s weak to so many things… Fighting, water, ground, rock… every one of those types is super common in some way. Additionally, it takes neutral damage from fairy, electric,and bug. Tbh, fire/poison or fire/fighting would have served better for it
3. It’s weird role…. like it’s very clearly trying to be a pivoty Arcanine… this honestly is a nice role but it just doesn’t work with all the other stuff that is destroying it… like it needs so many things different… and honestly? A different ability. Intimidate works but it honestly doesn’t mesh with moveset it has. If it had a reliable fire stab and recovery, I could honestly see it working in VGC
It’s a lost cause in singles though, doubles it still has a chance
TFW Fire/Fighting is a better type for Inci (I also think it so but many disagree)
And the move thing… yah I hope move tutors fixes that
It desperately needs recovery
Recovery move? Which one could even got it
Does it get Drain Punch?
Drain Punch
Yeah I forgot about Drain punch.
Drain punch
Morning sun? Arcanine has it
Eeehhh I don’t see iiiiitt
Well regardless it NEEDS ONE
Slack off?
Yeah, and drain punch too
Drain punch
Drain punch isn’t all that important on it
Idk I think Fire/Dark at least sorta saves it. It’s a cooler type and we don’t need a 4th fire/fighting. It’s typing is it’s only saving grace imo
This is more a competitive analysis. Flavor wise, Fire/Dark is cool
But it’s SEVERLY holding it back in competitive
Not to plug but I made one of Minior below
Shameless self advertising smh
😛
But no one commented on it and it’s legitimately useful info
I just read, and I think you’re right, but is it really that bad? Not even mediocre or Ok? Doesn’t it have any very specific role or counter?
C’mon I love Minior ;-;
Oh I mean it has a role.. it’s just…. kinda bad outside NU… and even there it struggles….
Like if they gave it accelrock it could be a bit more usable
But when I see the thing, my legit train of thought is
“ooh! An easy kill!”
I’ve been swept by Minior a total of one time and it was cause my team lacked priority
It’s in Nu.
I thought it was Ou…
Because everyone spammed it in OU every game
The thing was spammed in every tier and it’s been a free kill for me every time
Eh don’t people like Lumineon? :0
Why dint*
DONT
Lumineon?
The fish from Gen 4
I know what it is, I’m just curious as to why it was brought up
Cuz you’re doing things on why people don’t like certain Pokémon sooo
it’s not why people don’t like em, it’s more accurately
“why certain Pokemon that are bad that people believe are good actually aren’t”
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8aecddcc3e510fa3a1fa0b8b8222a7ea5118ef07bf6afd69e7fb535fe09b593a.png
Noice
Alex you almost killed me, I laughed with food in my mouth and almost choked
Regarding this Pikachu event. Honestly, I’m not sure what to do. On one hand, I have both Sun & Moon. Sun is my main game, Moon was just for the exclusive stuff. I have nothing less to do on it so there’s not really a problem on restarting the game. On the other hand, having to restart the game 4 times to get all of them is so tedious, I’ll have to trade all the important items (like Rare Candies and Bottle Caps) to the other game so I don’t lose them. But I’m not very inclined on depending on other people to get the other Pikachu so I might just do it.
I can get you the other Pikachu’s don’t worry no need to restart. I’m on here daily so I can trade them to you
Next mon I’m covering
Tsareena
or Mudsdale
Someone talking on how bad Tsareena is will surely improve greatly my mood soooo
it’ll more or less be a mixed opinion
Ummmm good enough.
Just don’t praise it too muchI’m already defensive
Sorry I despise that thing
D:
I like Steenee and Bounsweet much more than Tsareena
Tsareena is just queen tho :3
It was the weakest member of my team before I took it off
Trop kick was its perk and that wasn’t doing a whole lot of damage to opponents
Maybe you got a bad nature? Because mine was a goddess
I seem to have bad luck with natures (my starter was Bashful natured Primarina)
Bad natures have ruined a lot of Pokémon for me :/
Poor reniculous
I agree it’s an overrated mon. Don’t like its design either
Maybe it was bad natures or IV’s, I can admit that it’s a pretty useful Pkm
It had a bad set too of Rapid spin, Aromatic Mist, Trop Kick (its good move) and Stomp (Was decent)
Steenee is Ok but Bounsweet, BOUNSWEET, it’s the cutest thing on this planet, it’s so cute that I didn’t get any hopes up for it’s upcoming evos because I knew there’s no way you can improve its design.
I still have my Grass/Dragon type dragonfruit evolution for it
Do you play competitively??
