PokéDex Descriptions
US | As electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes more aggressive. One theory is that the electricity buildup is actually causing stress. |
UM | Because so many Trainers like the way Pikachu looks, you don’t see this Pokémon very often. |
E | If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down. |
SH | If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere. |
C | If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electri city from the atmosphere. |
S SS | If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up. |
R | If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, RAICHU plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this POKéMON’s nest. |
OR | If the electrical sacs become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon’s nest. |
M | It becomes aggressive when it has electricity stored up. At such times, even its Trainer has to take care to avoid being attacked. |
LA | 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. |
P Y | It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size. |
D | It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail. |
S | It unleashes electric shocks that can reach 100,000 volts. When agitated, it can knock out even an Indian elephant. |
FR | Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint. |
LG SW | Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power. |
R B | Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power. |
PL B W B2 W2 | Its tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked. |
S | 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. |
AS | This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu plants its tail in the ground to discharge electricity. |
