Pokédex Flavour (description)
- Red/Blue
- When several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.
- Yellow
- It keeps its tail raised to monitor its surroundings. If you yank its tail, it will try to bite you.
- Gold
- This intelligent POKéMON roasts hard BERRIES with electricity to make them tender enough to eat.
- Silver
- It raises its tail to check its surroundings. The tail is sometimes struck by lightning in this pose.
- Crystal
- When it is angered, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks.
- Ruby
- Whenever PIKACHU comes across something new, it blasts it with a jolt of electricity. If you come across a blackened berry, it's evidence that this POKéMON mistook the intensity of its charge.
- Sapphire
- This POKéMON has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while PIKACHU sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up.
- Emerald
- It stores electricity in the electric sacs on its cheeks. When it releases pent-up energy in a burst, the electric power is equal to a lightning bolt.
- Fire Red
- It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs.
- Leaf Green
- When several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity can build and cause lightning storms.
