If this is the case, you're playing Pokemon Yellow. Yellow prevents the starter Pikachu from evolving due to following the anime, where Pikachu refuses to evolve (though it's possible to evolve it by trading it to another game, evolving it there, and trading it back to Yellow).
You cannot evolve Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow, unless you trade it to a red or blue version, and give it a thunderstone there. Once you get it back it will not follow you.
The Pikachu you start with in Pokémon Yellow will not evolve because the Pikachu in question is based on the Pikachu that belongs to Ash Ketchum of the Pokémon TV anime. Ash's Pikachu won't evolve because he likes himself just the way he is and prefers to stay that way rather than chage.
Pikachu doesn't evolve through leveling up. Pikachu evolves into Raichu with the use of a Thunder Stone.Note: in Pokemon Yellow, your starter Pikachu will refuse to evolve unless traded to another game.Other facts:Pikachu is number 25 in the National Pokedex, and evolves from Pichu when you have high friendship.Give it a Thunder Stone.trade a yellow shard to the treasure man near mossdeep city. then use the thunderstone he gives you on pikahchu. use it on him, not give it to him.
Give Pikachu a Thunder stone and it will evolve into a Riachu. But in Pokemon Yellow, the Pikachu will not evolve. You can get thunder stones easy by mining them in Pokemon diamond and pearl but in soul silver and heart gold you need to buy them with athleet points at the athleet shop
you can't evolve pikachu in the game but if you trade a pikachu from red or blue you can evolve it with a thunder stone but if you try to evolve the pikachu you get at the begging of yellow it just upsets pikachu
There is No Specific Level Pikachu Needs a Thunderstone to evolve

In Red and Blue, you would use a thunder stone on him, but Pokemon Yellow is based on the anime, where Pikachu refuses to evolve, so that's why it doesn't work.
Because in the yellow version, Pikachu simply cannot evolve. This version is more based on Ash and Pikachu together.
No, you cannot give the Pikachu that you started with a Thunderstone and evolve it into Raichu since the game blocks that Pikachu's evolution into Raichu while it is in Pokémon Yellow however you can trade for other Pikachu and they will evolve through the use of a Thunderstone.

As you probably figured out Pikachu in yellow will NOT accept the thunderstone. And using wild pikachu codes with a gameshark, will not make this any better. Get a pikachu from a RED OR BLUE version, then use the thunderstone, it WILL evolve.

It doesn't evolve you have to use a thunderstone, but in Pokemon yellow you can't do that to your pikachu unless you get another one from Red or Blue.
