    Pokedex Entries

    GameEntry
    LegendsArceusPichu stores electricity in the sacs on its cheeks but discharges it inadvertently when agitated or excited. Being yet immature, the Pokémon’s handling of electricity is rather inept.
    GoldIt is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
    SilverDespite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
    CrystalIt is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
    RubyPICHU charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this POKéMON.
    SapphireWhen PICHU plays with others, it may short out electricity with another PICHU, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this POKéMON will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
    EmeraldIt is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
    DiamondThe electric pouches on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet.
    PearlIt plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.
    PlatinumThe electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked.
    HeartgoldIt is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
    SoulsilverDespite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
    XIt plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.

    AlphaSapphireWhen Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokémon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
    SunIt is not yet skilled at controlling electricity. If you take your eyes off it, it may shock itself.
    MoonDespite this Pokémon’s cute appearance, those who want to live with one should prepare to be on the receiving end of its electric jolts.
    UltraSunIt still can’t use electricity well. When it’s surprised or excited, it discharges electricity unintentionally.
    UltraMoonIt has electric sacs in its cheeks. When they’re fully charged, Pichu plays very energetically.
    SwordDespite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
