Pikachu’s Apple Snack Coloring Page

Pikachu munching on an apple brings together two beloved things: everyone’s favorite electric mouse Pokémon and a simple, wholesome snack. This scene captures a quieter moment away from battles and adventures, showing Pikachu enjoying something sweet and crunchy. The combination of Pikachu’s rounded features and the organic shape of an apple creates a nice balance of simple and detailed areas to color.

What colors work best?

You’ve got Pikachu’s classic yellow body with red cheeks and black-tipped ears, but the apple gives you room to play around. A bright red apple creates strong contrast against Pikachu’s yellow fur, while a green Granny Smith apple offers a softer, more harmonious palette. The brown stem and a light green or yellow highlight on the apple’s surface add realism. For the background, try soft pastels like lavender or mint green to keep the focus on Pikachu, or go with a warm cream color for a cozy feel.

Did you know?

Pikachu’s design was actually inspired by a squirrel, not a mouse, which explains those chubby cheeks that store electricity instead of nuts. In the Pokémon games, Pikachu loves ketchup more than almost any other food, rating it 255 out of 255 on the preference scale. Apples appear throughout the Pokémon universe as healing items that restore a small amount of HP, making them both a real-world snack and an in-game resource.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work beautifully for this page since you can layer yellows to create depth in Pikachu’s fur. Add a touch of orange or light brown in the shadowed areas under Pikachu’s chin and around the ears. For the apple, start with your base color and leave a white spot for the shine, then blend darker shades around the edges to make it look round. Markers give you bold, saturated colors but be careful around the thin lines of Pikachu’s fingers or tail stripes.

Who’ll love this?

Younger Pokémon fans who are still building their coloring skills will appreciate the clear, defined shapes without too much tiny detail. This one also works well for anyone who finds complex coloring pages overwhelming but still wants something fun and recognizable. It’s a good choice for a quick coloring session during a snack break or while rewatching Pokémon episodes.
