The sound is tied to Pokémon and became popular online through meme edits built around the familiar “Who’s That Pokémon?” style reveal. The joke usually plays on certainty: the answer sounds obvious, then the next beat undercuts it for a fast punchline. Because Pokémon is so widely recognized, the clip kept spreading across short videos, compilations and reaction posts. It still gets used when creators want a clean setup for a mistaken guess, a fake reveal or a deliberately childish but effective bait-and-switch gag.
About this sound
The famous “It’s Pikachu” meme clip from a Pokémon joke reveal, used in videos for fake-outs, wrong guesses and sudden bait-and-switch punchlines.
This sound is the instantly recognizable “It’s Pikachu” line delivered with excited game-show energy. It is usually used as part of the Pokémon meme setup where a confident guess is followed by a wrong reveal, so the clip carries a built-in sense of anticipation and comic failure. The voice is bright, loud and dramatic, which makes even a short edit feel bigger and more deliberate. In reaction clips, countdowns and prediction jokes, it quickly signals that a fake-out or obvious answer is coming before the punchline lands.
