Flavor Text

Red/Blue Leaf Green Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.

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

Fire Red Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.


Gold When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.

Silver If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.

Crystal If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.


Ruby If 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.

Sapphire This 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.

Emerald If it stores too much electricity its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.


Diamond It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.

Pearl It can lose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
