May! Pikachu has been replaced with Pichu eggs. Before that, Pichu didn’t have a Party or Santa hat yet, but recently it was wearing the Ash and Christmas coach hat.

How to increase the odds of catching a Summer Pikachu by seeing it

Pikachu is notoriously hard to catch. Not “potatoes” like Dragonite but certainly not easy. It usually has a red target circle, signaling a low catch rate. However, you can change that as follows:

1. Use Razz Berry (1.5x). Golden Razz Berry (2.5x) if available. Unlike other rewards, regardless of the target you choose. It will work as you do.
2. A successful Curve Ball (1.7x) throw will increase the catch rate of Pokemon higher than Great Ball and almost equal to Ultra Ball.
3. If you want to increase your chances of catching the first summer Pikachu when the opportunity arises, throw Great Ball (1.5x), even Ultra Ball (2x).
4. Try to hit shots from Nice, Great to Excellent by holding the center of the goal circle.

In addition to the above methods, you can use bait just like when capturing other Pokemon

1. Touch the ball icon Pokémon.
