Shiny Pichu Pokédex Entries

  • Gold:It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
  • Silver:Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
  • Crystal:It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
  • Ruby:PICHU charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this POKéMON.
  • Sapphire:When PICHU plays with others, it may short out electricity with another PICHU, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this POKéMON will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
  • FireRed:Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
  • LeafGreen:It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
  • Emerald:It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
  • Diamond:The electric pouches on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet.
  • Pearl:It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.
