Pichu
Sun

It is not yet skilled at controlling electricity. If you take your eyes off it, it may shock itself.

Moon

Despite this Pokémon’s cute appearance, those who want to live with one should prepare to be on the receiving end of its electric jolts.

Ultra Sun

It still can’t use electricity well. When it’s surprised or excited, it discharges electricity unintentionally.

Ultra Moon

It has electric sacs in its cheeks. When they’re fully charged, Pichu plays very energetically.
