Generation 4’s Electric squirell Pokemon, Pachirisu returns in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and its Teal Mask DLC. Here’s how trainers can find in in the wild in Paldea and Kitakami.

In every Generation, Pokemon introduces a new ‘Pikachu clone,’ which is a rodent-like creature with an Electric typing. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet featured Pawmi to fill the role, which is the first Pikachu clone have an evolution line.

While Generation 9’s Pokedex is missing Pikachu clones like Emolga, Togedemaru, and Morpeko, others like Dedenne can be found roaming the wilds of Paldea.

Generation 4’s Pikachu Clone, Pachirisu, is also included in the Paldean and Kitakami Pokedex. Here’s everything trainers need to know about finding Pachirisu in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and the Teal Mask DLC.

Where to find Pachirisu in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Paldea locations

According to its Pokedex entry, Pachirisu is primarily found along the Southern coast of the Paldea region. Additionally, the entry notes that Pachirisu likes being near trees and even spends time in trees.

As such, trainers will want to look in areas with lots of trees and can even headbutt them with Miraidon and Koraidon to find Pachirius. Specifically, players can find Pachirisu in the following locations:

  • South Province (Area One)
  • South Province (Area Three)
  • South Province (Area Four)
  • South Province (Area Five)
  • South Province (Area Six)
  • Los Platos
  • Cascarrafa (outside the city near Giacomo’s Team Star base)

Pachirisu is most commonly found in Southern Paldea.

Pachirisu’s spawn does not rely on the time of day, so players should be able to find it regardless of whether it is day or night.

Kitakami locations

Pachirisu makes a return in the Teal Mask DLC expansion. Players can find it in the following locations:

  • Reveler’s Road
  • Kitakami Hall area
  • Timeless Woods

Does Pachirisu evolve in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?

Unlike Pawmi, Pachirisu did not receive an evolution line in Generation 9, which means players who have used one on their team before will be familiar with training it.

Pachirisu has fairly low base stats which may make it hard to use in battle against strong trainers.

Unfortunately, Pachirisu’s base stats leave much to be desired. Despite boasting a respectable 95 base Speed stat, it’s base stat total only reaches 405. As such, other important stats are pretty underwhelming, like its base 45 Attack and Special Attack.

And that’s everything trainers need to know about finding Pachirisu in Generation 9. Those looking to find out more about Pokemon Scarlet & Violet can check out our other guides below:
