SS
SW

M
Despite this Pokémon’s cute appearance, those who want to live with one should prepare to be on the receiving end of its electric jolts.
UM
It has electric sacs in its cheeks. When they’re fully charged, Pichu plays very energetically.
S
It is not yet skilled at controlling electricity. If you take your eyes off it, it may shock itself.
G
LG
HG
Y
It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
