S
It raises its tail to check its sur­ roundings. The tail is sometimes struck by light­ ning in this pose.
E
It stores electricity in the electric sacs on its cheeks. When it releases pent-up energy in a burst, the electric power is equal to a lightning bolt.
US
Its nature is to store up electricity. Forests where nests of Pikachu live are dangerous, since the trees are so often struck by lightning.
