How to Get Pikachu in Pokemon XD

Pokemon XD is a role-playing game for the GameCube developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. In Pokemon XD, players can only obtain about 100 Pokemon in game and they must get the rest by trading. Unfortunately, one Pokemon that players can't obtain in Pokemon XD is Pikachu. In order to get Pikachu in Pokemon XD, players must trade from Pokemon Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Firered or Leafgreen. Players can use this method when trading Pokemon other than Pikachu.
