The Pichu Brothers or Pichu Bros. (Japanese: ピチュー兄弟 Pichu Bros.), individually called Pichu Big and Pichu Little, are a pair of Pichu who live in Big Town.

In the anime

They debuted in Pikachu & Pichu, where they met Ash's Pikachu who was lost after falling off a nearby building, in which Ash was planning a party celebrating the anniversary of when he and Pikachu first met. Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers went throughout Big Town chased by a Houndour who eventually helped them when the local Pokémon Playhouse was collapsing. In Of Meowth and Pokémon (Part One), the Pichu Posse become embroiled in a picnic basket mix up between Smoochum’s basket and Meowth’s basket.

In Of Meowth and Pokémon (Part Two), Meowth enlisted the Posse's assistance to deliver pizzas and later garden maintenance to make money. However things went disastrously wrong with both tasks, with the pizzas all ruined or eaten before delivery, and the parkland flooded after a series of mishaps. To apologize the Pichu Brothers and their friends gave Meowth some acorns.

The Pichu Brothers got into a heated argument over who gets to go down a slide first in Trouble in Big Town. Pichu Little along with Wooper ran off as a result, fleeing to a nearby park where it proceeded to steal a vendor's helium balloons. Consequently, Pichu Little floated up into the air, and had to contend with changing wind currents and Murkrow while Pichu Big and the other searched the city for him. The Posse was later reunited and returned to the Clubhouse to have fun again.

In Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part One), the Pichu Posse joined Meowth in tracking down his missing sandwich and later located the invisible culprit, a Kecleon. It explained that it stole the food to feed a lost Azurill; also the very one that Azumarill was expecting to arrive earlier in the day. With two mysteries solved, the Pichu Brothers and their friends joined Azumarill for a prepared dinner to celebrate Azurill's arrival.

Azumarill tasked the Pichu Brothers with looking after Azurill in Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part Two), but the young Pokémon wandered off under their watch. They later found Azurill in an alleyway, safe and sound.

In Pichu Bros. in Party Panic, Meowth was going to throw a party. However, the Pichu Brothers and their friends had not received an invitation and so they went on a quest to find one. In the end, an Azumarill had their invitations all along and hadn't gotten around to delivering them yet. However, they flew away, which led to another adventure to track them down.

In Camp Pikachu, they had an adventure where they were lost a long way from home after a train ride. However, with the help of Pikachu, some of Ash's and Misty's Pokémon, as well as a Wynaut, they were able to catch a train back home again.

The Pichu Brothers and the Clubhouse appeared during the credits of the Japanese version of The Rise of Darkrai. They made another cameo at the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

The Pichu Brothers most recently appeared in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade as some of the Pokémon watching Meloetta's concert.

The Pichu Brothers have also appeared in the 2001 version of Mezase Pokémon Master. They are seen running along a pipe below a bridge that Ash and his friends are standing on.

Personality and characteristics

The Pichu Brothers are the recognized leaders of their friendship group, the Pichu Posse. They are often seen playing together at the Pokémon Clubhouse. A call out for help will lead their friends to assemble immediately.

Pichu Big, distinguished by a tuft of hair, is the oldest of the pair. He is more mature and sensible while Pichu Little is typically impulsive, playful and argumentative. While they sometimes get into heated arguments, the Pichu Brothers care for one another, as evidenced through the actions in Trouble in Big Town where Pichu Big led the search for his lost brother.
