Pachirisu
Gen 4 introduced Pachirisu as the Pika mascot of that generation. Although there isn’t much to say about pachirisu, Gen 4 did introduce Wifi battles and Wifi trading thanks to the Nintendo Wifi Connection Network. Pachirisu’s color scheme even matches this!
Emolga

Dedenne
Generation 6 introduced the Fairy Type which is weak to Steel and Poison and is immune to Dragon type attacks.
Dedenne is an Electric/Fairy Type!
Togedemaru
Togedemaru is the geneneration 7 pika mascot of Pokemon Sun and Moon. It might be too early to tell but since it is Pokemon’s 20th anniversary, Togegemaru’s shape might be a homage to how Pikachu was chubby back in Gen 1.
