PokéDex Descriptions

S	A plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant.
P	If it looses crackling power from the electric pouches on its cheeks, it is being wary.
FR Y	It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs.

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.
M	It’s in its nature to store electricity. It feels stressed now and then if it’s unable to fully discharge the electricity.
SW	Pikachu that can generate powerful electricity have cheek sacs that are extra soft and super stretchy.
LA	Possesses cheek sacs in which it stores electricity. This clever forest-dweller roasts tough berries with an electric shock before consuming them.

B R	When several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.
