Where to find Pikachu in Legends Z-A: Pikachu location

Pikachu can be found in Wild Zone 3 in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Specifically, you'll be able to find Pikachu in the south-eastern garden - the one containing the Roserade statue - in this Wild Zone. Three Pikachu will appear in this location both day and night, so there's always an electric mouse waiting to be caught.

How to catch Pikachu

Be careful - Pikachu is an aggressive Pokémon and will attack you on sight. There's always a chance you'll be able to sneak up and catch it, but get spotted or have it escape from a Poké Ball and the fight is on!

Pikachu is weak to Ground-types. Due to this, if you want a quick battle, then make sure you have a Pokémon which knows a Ground-type move in your team.

Alpha Pikachu location

If you're looking for a bigger challenge, you can find Alpha Pikachu in Wild Zone 6 on the roof of Cafe Bataille at night and in Wild Zone 3 in the south-east garden during the day or night.
