Pikachu’s Treehouse Slumber Coloring Page

Pikachu settling in for a cozy night in a treehouse combines two things kids adore: the beloved electric mouse Pokémon and the magic of sleeping under the stars in a wooden hideaway. This scene gives you plenty of opportunity to play with both natural woodland textures and the soft, dreamy atmosphere of bedtime.

What colors work best?

Pikachu’s signature yellow and red cheeks are non-negotiable, but the rest is yours to explore. For the treehouse, consider warm honey browns and deep oak tones for the wood, maybe with moss greens creeping along the boards. The background offers a chance to create a twilight sky with deep purples fading into midnight blues, or you could go softer with peachy sunset tones. If there’s a sleeping bag or blanket in the scene, try unexpected combinations like teal with coral, or lavender with sage green. String lights, if present, look magical in warm amber or soft white against darker backgrounds.

Did you know?

Pikachu’s name comes from two Japanese words: “pika,” which is the sound of electricity sparking, and “chu,” the squeaking sound a mouse makes. Despite being one of the most recognizable characters in the world, Pikachu wasn’t originally meant to be Pokémon’s mascot—that honor was supposed to go to Clefairy. In the Pokémon world, wild Pikachu actually live in forests and are known to climb trees using their tails, so a treehouse sleepover isn’t too far-fetched.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work beautifully here because you can layer them to create the soft, sleepy mood this scene deserves. Start with your lightest colors and build up gradually, especially on Pikachu’s yellow fur where you might add peachy shadows. For the wood grain, use long strokes in varying shades of brown. If you’re using markers, consider leaving small white highlights on Pikachu’s eyes and cheeks to keep that sparkle. The background sky benefits from blending, so gel crayons or even watercolor pencils could create that smooth gradient effect.

Who’ll love this?

Pokémon fans of any age will enjoy this one, but it’s especially appealing for kids who are at that age where treehouses represent ultimate freedom and adventure. It makes a nice evening activity when things need to wind down, since the sleepover theme naturally has a calmer energy than action-packed battle scenes.
