The pale, droopy-eared Pikachu in Pokémon Pokopia is named Peakychu.
Peakychu is a special Pokémon encountered during the story. It is based on Pikachu but has a noticeably different appearance, including pale coloring and drooping ears. The character’s unusual design is one of the memorable variations introduced in Pokopia’s trailers and story.
The name is a wordplay-based variation on Pikachu, which helps distinguish this character from the standard species. Peakychu is also described as having lost the ability to generate electricity, giving the character a personal problem that fits Pokopia’s broader theme of helping Pokémon recover and making environments livable again.
Peakychu is sometimes mixed up with other named variants such as Mosslax, the moss-covered Snorlax, or Smearguru, the exceptionally artistic Smeargle. Those names refer to different species. Peakychu specifically identifies the unusual Pikachu encountered in Pokémon Pokopia.
