Pokedex Entries
Game | Entry |
---|---|
LegendsArceus | Pichu 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. |
Gold | It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled. |
Silver | Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself. |
Crystal | It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously. |
Ruby | PICHU 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. |
Sapphire | When 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. |
Emerald | It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older. |
Diamond | The electric pouches on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet. |
Pearl | It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage. |
Platinum | The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked. |
Heartgold | It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled. |
Soulsilver | Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself. |
X | It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage. |
Y | It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled. |
OmegaRuby | Pichu 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. |
AlphaSapphire | When 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. |
Sun | It is not yet skilled at controlling electricity. If you take your eyes off it, it may shock itself. |
Moon | 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. |
UltraSun | It still can’t use electricity well. When it’s surprised or excited, it discharges electricity unintentionally. |
UltraMoon | It has electric sacs in its cheeks. When they’re fully charged, Pichu plays very energetically. |
Sword | Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself. |
Shield | The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked. |
