✗ The myth everyone repeats
Pikachu's tail is yellow with a black tip.
✓ What is actually true
Pikachu's tail is entirely yellow with a brown or tan base where it connects to the body. There is no black tip on the tail. Many fans remember a black tip, possibly influenced by other Pokémon with similar colouring or inconsistent merchandise designs that may have featured variations.
