While it is possible to find plenty of evolved Pokemon in the wild in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, some players may prefer to evolve the Pokemon themselves for a variety of reasons.

Among the Pokemon that can both be found in the wild and evolved from an earlier form is the iconic Pikachu. Here’s how to evolve Pichu into Pikachu as quickly as possible.

How to Evolve Pichu into Pikachu in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pichu can only evolve into Pikachu in Pokémon Legends: Arceus after you have increased your friendship level with the Pokemon high enough. To do so, you will need to make it win fights often, let it accompany you as you gather resources, and heal it.

Once you have reached the required friendship level, Pichu will evolve into Pikachu by simply leveling up. In case you need to know the friendship level of any Pokemon, head over to the NPC found outside of Jubilife Village after completing Mission n.7

From here on out, you can either continue using Pikachu in battle or take things a step further and evolve it into the more powerful Raichu. Get your Thunder Stones ready, and you will dominate any battle against Pokemon weak against Electricity!
