Pikachu, Fiberglass sculpture in Lower Garden District, New Orleans, United States

Pikachu is a 5-foot (1.5 m) fiberglass sculpture of the Pokémon, coated to look like bronze, with raised arms and a lightning-bolt-shaped tail. It stood in a decommissioned fountain along Terpsichore Street near Coliseum Square in New Orleans' Lower Garden District.

Two unidentified local artists installed the 5-foot fiberglass Pikachu on July 31, 2016, in a decommissioned fountain on Terpsichore Street near Coliseum Square, as a tribute to Pokémon Go. Within days someone attacked it with a baseball bat; it was repaired, then removed about two weeks later. The artists said it would be auctioned to fund restoration of the park's fountains, and it sold for $2,000.

The sculpture stood in a decommissioned fountain along Terpsichore Street, near Coliseum Square. It was removed about two weeks after installation, so visitors should not expect to find it there today; the concrete block near its base carried the artist's '#pokemonument' inscription.
