Which Pokémon character is called Peakychu in Pokémon Pokopia?

The story behind the answer

Peakychu in Pokémon Pokopia is a Pikachu. The character is a special Pikachu who has lost the ability to generate electricity, giving the familiar species a distinctive role in the game’s story.

The name “Peakychu” resembles Pikachu but identifies this individual character rather than a new species or an evolution. Peakychu is one of several named Pokémon encountered as Ditto restores habitats and meets unusual residents of the world.

Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon and one of the most recognizable characters in the franchise. Its standard abilities are strongly associated with producing electricity, so Peakychu’s loss of that ability creates a story-specific contrast with the usual portrayal.

Peakychu should not be confused with Pichu or Raichu. Pichu is Pikachu’s pre-evolution, and Raichu is its evolved form. Peakychu remains a Pikachu; the special name describes the individual character and its condition in Pokopia.
