How to Get the Pichu Event in "Pokemon HeartGold"
- 1). Trade someone for the Shiny Pichu if you did not get it during the 2010 GameStop promotion. If you have the Shiny Pichu and it has already evolved to a Pikachu or Raichu, it will still trigger the event.
- 2). Put the Shiny Pichu in your first slot, and leave one slot empty.
- 3). Enter the Ilex Forest west of Azalea Town in the Johto region.
- 4). Go the the center of the forest and find the Ilex Forest Shrine. Once you find the shrine, a female Spiky-eared Pichu will appear and join your party. She will be holding a Zap Plate and will have her own unique attacks and sprites. This Pokemon begins at level 30 and cannot evolve or be traded outside of HeartGold or SoulSilver.
