The *Pikachu* meme has multiple variations, but one of the most iconic is the *Surprised Pikachu* meme. It comes from the 1997 *Pokémon* anime, where Pikachu displays a shocked expression. The meme format, which became popular in 2018, pairs an obvious or predictable action with Pikachu’s surprised face, humorously mocking people who act shocked by foreseeable consequences. Another variation is *Detective Pikachu*, taken from the 2019 movie, often used for reaction memes. Pikachu’s expressive face and cultural significance make it a widely adaptable meme, continuing to evolve across social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram.
