    GameEntry
    LegendsArceusIt 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.
    RedIts long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
    BlueIts long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
    YellowWhen electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
    GoldWhen its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
    SilverIf the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
    CrystalIf its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
    RubyIf 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.
    SapphireThis 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.
    FireredIts electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.
    LeafgreenIts long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
    EmeraldIf it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
    DiamondIt turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
    PearlIt can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
    PlatinumIts tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked.
    HeartgoldWhen its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
    SoulsilverIf the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
    XWhen its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
    YIt can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
    OmegaRubyIf 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.
    AlphaSapphireThis 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.
    SunIt unleashes electric shocks that can reach 100,000 volts. When agitated, it can knock out even an Indian elephant.
    MoonIt becomes aggressive when it has electricity stored up. At such times, even its Trainer has to take care to avoid being attacked.
    UltraSunAs electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes more aggressive. One theory is that the electricity buildup is actually causing stress.
    UltraMoonBecause so many Trainers like the way Pikachu looks, you don’t see this Pokémon very often.
    SwordIts long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
    ShieldIf its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
    BrilliantDiamondIt turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
