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 all throughout the town chased by a Houndour who eventually helped them when the local Pokémon Playhouse was collapsing.

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.

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.

The Pichu Brothers and the clubhouse appeared during the credits of the Japanese version of The Rise of Darkrai.

The Pichu Brothers, along with Wooper, Magby, Teddiursa, Smoochum, Smeargle, Azumarill, Houndour, and Snorlax, made a small 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 recognized by their friends as their leaders when they are usually seen interacting with them.
