Nintendo have recently announced that European players of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions will be able to download a Pikachu-Coloured Pichu (or Shiny Pichu) from Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection from March 5th until March 26th. This Pichu, once traded to the upcoming Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions (Due out on March 26th in Europe) and taken to the shrine in Ilex Forest will allow the player to receive the special, Spiky Eared Pichu.

Previously, this Pichu was available in Japan by pre-ordering a ticket to the 12th Pokémon movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life, while America held a brick-and-mortar event at participating GameStop stores. This makes Pichu the first Pokémon outside of Japan available over Wi-Fi Connection (The first Japanese Direct-Pokémon Wi-Fi distribution being a Jirachi). This event coincides with the currently ongoing European Arceus events, which are taking place this month.

The Pikachu-Coloured Pichu will be at level 30, holding an everstone and will know the attacks Charge, Volt Tackle, Endure and Endeavor.
