Sing Pikachu has been created for Pokémon Sword and Shield to celebrate the release of P25 Music.
P25 Music brings together a variety of musical artists all in the name of celebrating Pokémon twentieth-fifth anniversary, so it makes sense that Pikachu, the Pokémon mascot, gets to join in!
Sing Pikachu has a special moveset, which includes the following attack:
- Sing (Normal-type)
- Encore (Normal-type)
- Celebrate (Normal-type)
- Electro Ball (Electric-type)
Sing Pikachu will also be holding a Light Ball, which boosts the Attack and Special Attack stats of a Pikachu when held.
Have fun with Sing Pikachu!
