Yes it can, but where is Shiny Pichu anyway?
First of all you CAN'T catch the Pikachu-Colored Pichu. You will have to get the event for it and transfer it over when they release it in your country.
The Pikachu-coloured Pichu, with a fateful-encounter flag (the one that can activate the Spiky-Eared Pichu event) can only be obtained via event.
You have to have a special (Wifi event) Pichu, bring it to the Ilex Forest Shrine. Otherwise, breed Pikachu/Raichu.
Yes, you need a special event Shiny Pikachu that was given away by Nintendo earlier in the year in order to get the event for the Spiky-eared Pichu to be unlocked in Pokémon HeartGold.
You cant get it in Pokemon platinum only in the new Pokemon heart gold and soul silver edition.
The 'Pikachu Coloured Pichu' (actually a shiny Pichu) can be found as part of a Nintendo Event.
no
its an event..
You can get a Spiky-eared Pichu in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver if you get the movie-event Pikachu-colored Pichu and bring it to Celebi's Shrine in Ilex Forest in HeartGold or SoulSilver.
There Will Be A New Arceus Event,Pikachu-Coloured Pichu Event,Notched Ear Pichu Event,And A Jirachi Event.
If you manage to get a Pikachu-Coloured Pichu sent into your game (via event or Wi-Fi) it will activate the Spiky-Eared Pichu event.Simply go by Celebi's Shrine in Ilex Forest with the Pikachu-Coloured Pichu* and an empty slot in your party and a Spiky-Eared Pichu will appear. It will be at Level 30.*Even if you have evolved thePikachu-Coloured Pichu into a Pikachu or Raichu, this special event will still work.
The difference is that the pikachu-colored pichu is the event pichu forDPPt, whereas the notched ear pichu is the pichu that joins your party one you transfer it to HeartGold or SoulSilver (In the Ilya forest).
