**Pikachu** is one of the main antagonists in *Five Nights at Nintendo Land*, originating from the *Pokémon* series. Along with **Majora's Mask** he is the first antagonist introduced in the game, on Night 1.

**Pikachu**, like the other enemies, is an abandoned and now mysteriously haunted mascot costume originally used in Nintendo Land, seeking to kill **the night guard** for unknown reasons.

He starts in CAM 05 and makes his way to the left side of the garden. Once there **the player** must hide in the shed to avoid being jumpscared and killed by him.

**Pikachu** was set to return in *Five Nights at Nintendo Land 2* as the main antagonist, being only one of two characters to return for this game, the other being **Mario**.

## Appearance

### Five Nights at Nintendo Land

Pikachu appears to be the same as he appeared in the *Pokémon* games, a yellow-furred rodent Pokémon with pointy ears with black tips, brown stripes and patches on his body and tail, red spherical cheeks and a lightning bolt shaped tail.

The only difference is that he has purely black eyes, with no white and brown highlights. In the original game's GameJolt thumbnail he has small white pupils, just like **Mario** and **Kirby** in the same image.

### Five Nights at Nintendo Land 2

Pikachu's appearance is largely the same as he appears in *Five Nights at Nintendo Land*, although he is depicted with a moldy green hue due to the large time skip from the first game, along with having small white pupils in his eye sockets.

## Behavior

### Five Nights at Nintendo Land

Pikachu will start in CAM 05 and travel through CAM 04, CAM 03, and CAM 02. Once he leaves CAM 02, he will be visible on the left blindspot outside when the flashlight is shined towards it.

If Pikachu is outside the building the player must quickly hide inside the Shed to avoid him. Take too long and he will jumpscare the player, sending them to the Game Over screen. If dodged successfully he will return to CAM 05 to repeat the process.

While Pikachu and **Luigi** share the same main mechanic they have several differences that set them apart. Pikachu is rather difficult to see in the blindspot but to compensate he takes a long time to jump at the player, giving them plenty of time to look for him. Luigi, on the other hand, is very easy to spot but attacks much faster than Pikachu.

### Five Nights at Nintendo Land 2

Due to the game being in very early stages of development prior to it's cancellation, nothing was made for Pikachu before any mechanics could be done, thus making it completely unknown.

## Trivia

### General

* Out of all the suits, Pikachu has the longest route to reach the outside in the game, going through four rooms in total.
* Pikachu's timers on Night 4 and Night 5 are exactly the same, meaning he acts identically in the two nights.
* Prior to Nightmare, Pikachu has the shortest movement timer on Night 2 and his shortest kill timer period is in Night 3.
* Pikachu is the only character that moves through different cameras and has alternate poses when someone is at the same room.
* Pikachu is the only character whose jumpscare animation doesn't cut off at the top or bottom.
* Along with Luigi, Pikachu is the only character with no sounds cues associated with him.

### Errors

* When Pikachu leaves CAM 02 the movement transition animation does not play, Pikachu simply appears to teleport to the garden.
	+ Additionally, in some nights the camera graphics might not update, making Pikachu appear like he is on CAM 02 when he actually is in the garden.
* Pikachu is the only enemy to de-spawn after being successfully avoided, instead of immediately returning to their starting location, although this only happens in Night 1.
* Despite the fact that Pikachu comes towards the player from the left side his jumpscare shows him jumping from the right.
* Unlike the rest of the enemies, Pikachu's jumpscare appears behind the UI rather than on top.
* In the game's thumbnail Pikachu can clearly be seen T-posing.
* In the same image Pikachu is positioned higher than Mario, making him appear taller than him.
	+ This also applies to Kirby.
