Pokedex Entries
Pokemon RubyIf the electrical sacks become excessively charged, RAICHU plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this POKéMON’s nest.
Pokemon SapphireThis POKéMON exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. RAICHU searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
Pokemon EmeraldIf it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
Pokemon FireRedIts electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.
Pokemon LeafGreenIts long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
