After setting up the habitat, you'll need to wait for Pichu to arrive. They will arrive within an hour, but if you're too lazy to wait, you can consider time-travelling to get them immediately.

Pichu doesn't provide any special ability, but it does have the Generate Specialty. This means they are one of the Pokemon that can power nearby machines.
