Every trainer wants to know the Pokémon ZA's Pikachu location as soon as possible. The little yellow guy is a classic, and it has two new mega forms for its evolution, Raichu, so now more than ever, Pikachu will be a mainstay in your teams. But where can you find the loveable scamp? Our guide pinpoints exactly where it appears in the Parisian-inspired Lumiose city.
You can find Pikachu pretty early on, and Pichu even makes an appearance in Wild Zone 1. So whether you want to speed run to Mega Raichu X and Y, or raise the evolution line from baby to adult, we're here to help you out.
Where can I find Pokémon ZA's Pikachu?
Pikachu appears in Wild Zone 3, located on Rouge Street, north of the center of the city. Pikachu tends to appear in the bottom right corner of the park - you can see where we've highlighted it with the in-game cursor on the image below.
You can also catch a Pichu in Wild Zone 1, located at the very south of the map, just to the right of the main road. Then, you can evolve it into your very own Pikachu simply by leveling it up.
How do I evolve Pikachu in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Once you have an energetic, electric Pikachu, you can evolve it into Raichu - and then get one of the super fun new X and Y themed forms as part of the Pokémon ZA DLC. To do this, you need a Thunder Stone. You can easily grab one of these stones quite early in the game, simply by visiting the Stone Emporium and purchasing it. This store returns from X and Y, where it was located on Vernal Avenue.
