What nickname does the pale Pikachu have in Pokémon Pokopia?

The story behind the answer

The pale Pikachu in Pokémon Pokopia is nicknamed Peakychu.

Peakychu appears in Bleak Beach, an area whose sky remains covered by thick clouds. The unusual Pikachu is pale rather than the familiar yellow color and becomes one of the game’s named characters. The nickname combines the character’s distinctive appearance with Pikachu’s name.

Peakychu has lost the ability to generate electricity, but it can still absorb electricity. Ditto must repair enough electrical sources to power a charging station, allowing Peakychu to recharge. This task is important because the restored power helps illuminate Bleak Beach.

The lighting project eventually causes the Legendary Pokémon Raikou to appear. Raikou drives away the clouds, which also helps wake Mosslax, a moss-covered Snorlax sleeping in the area. Peakychu is therefore connected to both the area’s environmental restoration and its story progression.

Peakychu is not a new species or an evolution of Pikachu. It is a special pale Pikachu character with a unique nickname.
