Pikachu weighs 6 kg (13.2 lb), according to its official Pokédex entry, and stands 0.4 m (1 ft 4 in) tall. The games and pokemon.com agree on that figure. Only Pokémon Legends: Arceus lets individual Pikachu vary, from 3.84 kg for a small one up to 16.56 kg for an Alpha.

The figure is the Pokédex weight for Pikachu: 6.0 kg, or 13.2 lb, at a height of 0.4 m (1 ft 4 in). pokemon.com lists it, and so do the Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet Pokédexes. The special Pikachu that wear a trainer's cap are listed at the same weight.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the one game where individual Pikachu differ in size. There the standard is still 6 kg, but a small one weighs 3.84 kg, a large one 8.64 kg, and an Alpha Pikachu, which stands 0.92 m tall, 16.56 kg.
Pichu, the pre-evolution, is 0.3 m tall and weighs 2 kg. It evolves into Pikachu when leveled up with high friendship, which makes it three times heavier.
A Thunder Stone turns Pikachu into Raichu, which is 0.8 m tall and weighs 30 kg: five times as much as Pikachu. Alolan Raichu, the Electric and Psychic type form from the Alola region, is a little lighter at 21 kg and 0.7 m.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A added two Mega Evolutions for Raichu. Mega Raichu X is the heaviest member of the family at 38 kg (1.2 m), and Mega Raichu Y weighs 26 kg (1.0 m).
In Sword and Shield, Pikachu has a Gigantamax form that is listed at 21 m (68 ft 11 in) or more. Its weight is not given: the games show ????.? kg, and pokemon.com lists it as unknown. Some fan databases fill in 1,000 kg, but they use that same placeholder for every Gigantamax Pokémon, so it is not an official number.
Low Kick and Grass Knot get stronger the heavier the target is. Anything under 10 kg takes the weakest version, with a power of 20, so both moves are a poor choice against Pikachu or Pichu. Raichu, at 30 kg, takes 60 power.
Heavy Slam and Heat Crash work the other way: the more the user outweighs the target, the stronger the hit. Against a 6 kg Pikachu, any user heavier than 30 kg gets the maximum power of 120.
