Pichicri often floats in groups, and will attack with its spiky helmet if someone gets too close. It can be found in Fantasy Meadows, Celestial Valley, Sky Sands, and Machine Passage.

Pichicri appears as one of the possible drawings in Paint Panic. Its drawing is composed of two parts: the first part has the player draw Pichicri's body, and the second part adds the spikes onto the helmet.
Etymology[]
Pichicri's name comes from the Japanese onomatopoeia for birds chirping, ピーチクパーチク (pīchikupāchiku), referencing its bird-like nature; the Japanese onomatopoeia for fish jumping around, ピチピチ (pichipichi), referencing its fish-like nature; and the Japanese onomatopoeia for something prickling/stinging, チクリ (chikuri), referencing its spiky helmet.

| “ | It looks like a fish, so how is "Pichicri" flying in mid-air?! In Air Ride, it often acts with friends, and if you get close, it will reveal its sharp spines. Now I understand how to get the Copy Ability "Needle!" Nevertheless... I don't think those tiny wings make it fly, but I can't believe even you are a hover user!?... There's no way that's right.” |
