Pikachu
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.

Firered

It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs.

Leafgreen

When several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity can build and cause lightning storms.
