Pokédex Entries

It occasionally uses an electric shock to recharge a fellow PIKACHU that is in a weakened state.

It lives in forests with others. It stores electricity in the pouches on its cheeks.

If it looses crackling power from the electric pouches on its cheeks, it is being wary.

This intelligent Pokémon roasts hard berries with electricity to make them tender enough to eat.

It raises its tail to check its surroundings. The tail is sometimes struck by lightning in this pose.
