Pokedex Entries

Game	Entry
LegendsArceus	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.
Red	Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
Blue	Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
Yellow	When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
Gold	When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
Silver	If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
Crystal	If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
Ruby	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.
Sapphire	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.
Firered	Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.
Leafgreen	Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
Emerald	If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
Diamond	It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
Pearl	It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
Platinum	Its tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked.
Heartgold	When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
Soulsilver	If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
X	When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
Y	It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
OmegaRuby	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.
AlphaSapphire	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.
Sun	It unleashes electric shocks that can reach 100,000 volts. When agitated, it can knock out even an Indian elephant.
Moon	It becomes aggressive when it has electricity stored up. At such times, even its Trainer has to take care to avoid being attacked.
UltraSun	As electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes more aggressive. One theory is that the electricity buildup is actually causing stress.
UltraMoon	Because so many Trainers like the way Pikachu looks, you don’t see this Pokémon very often.
Sword	Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
Shield	If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
BrilliantDiamond	It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
ShiningPearl	It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
Scarlet	Its tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked.
Violet	If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
