Raichu

Alternate Forms

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.

Ultra Sun

As electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes more aggressive. One theory is that the electricity buildup is actually causing stress.

Ultra Moon

Because so many Trainers like the way Pikachu looks, you don’t see this Pokémon very often.

Lets Go Pikachu/Lets Go Eevee

When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
