This is probably similar to running an IDE and getting it to code-complete ROS code.
Have you tried starting pycharm from a terminal in which you have sourced your setup.bash?
Otherwise make sure to check your PYTHONPATH, it should contain (at least) /opt/ros/$ros_release/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.
It probably works, but I'd go for the "sourced environment" option. If anything ever changes in ROS wrt Python setup/paths, you don't have to do anything. Setting the PYTHONPATH (or adding it to pycharm's setup) would mean you'd have to track any changes in ROS manually.
Don't forget to have a look at:
There is not only a solution for your problem. But also there is a solution for using PyCharm as debugger.
As a better choice for solving your problem, add bash -i -c to your PyCharm's desktop file
There is something like:
Exec="/opt/pycharm-community-4.0.4/bin/pycharm.sh" %f
change it to:
Exec=bash -i -c "/opt/pycharm-community-4.0.4/bin/pycharm.sh" %f
You can find the desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ with filename pycharm.desktop or might have another name but includes pycharm and has a .desktop extension.
