Pikachu questions

Is Pikachu a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Pikachu joins the collection from the Kanto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Pikachu in PokéSurvivor?

Pikachu is Electric. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Pikachu be shiny?

Yes. A wild Pikachu is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Pikachu a rift legendary?

No. Pikachu can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
