Sapphire

This POKéMON exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. RAICHU searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.

Emerald

If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.

Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.

Leafgreen · Sword

Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.

Diamond

It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.

Pearl · Y

It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.

Its tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked.

Heartgold · X

When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.

Because so many Trainers like the way Pikachu looks, you don’t see this Pokémon very often.

Shield

If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.

Legends Arceus

It can discharge bursts of electricity exceeding 100,000 volts— a single strike with that amount of power would incapacitate one of the Copperajah of my homeland.
