Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Red / Blue | When several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms. |
| Yellow | It keeps its tail raised to monitor its surroundings. If you yank its tail, it will try to bite you. |
| Gold | This intelligent POKéMON roasts hard BERRIES with electricity to make them tender enough to eat. |
| Silver | It raises its tail to check its sur roundings. The tail is sometimes struck by light ning in this pose. |
| Crystal | When it is anger ed, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks. |
| Ruby | Whenever PIKACHU comes across something new, it blasts it with a jolt of electricity. If you come across a blackened berry, it’s evidence that this POKéMON mistook the intensity of its charge. |
| Sapphire | This POKéMON has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while PIKACHU sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up. |
| Emerald | It stores electricity in the electric sacs on its cheeks. When it releases pent-up energy in a burst, the electric power is equal to a lightning bolt. |
| FireRed / Y | It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs. |
| LeafGreen | When several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity can build and cause lightning storms. |
| Diamond | It lives in forests with others. It stores electricity in the pouches on its cheeks. |
| Pearl | If it looses crackling power from the electric pouches on its cheeks, it is being wary. |
| Platinum | It occasionally uses an electric shock to recharge a fellow PIKACHU that is in a weakened state. |
| HeartGold | This intelligent Pokémon roasts hard berries with electricity to make them tender enough to eat. |
| SoulSilver / X | It raises its tail to check its surroundings. The tail is sometimes struck by lightning in this pose. |
| Black / White / Black 2 / White 2 | It occasionally uses an electric shock to recharge a fellow Pikachu that is in a weakened state. |
| Omega Ruby | Whenever Pikachu comes across something new, it blasts it with a jolt of electricity. If you come across a blackened berry, it’s evidence that this Pokémon mistook the intensity of its charge. |
| Alpha Sapphire | This Pokémon has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while Pikachu sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up. |
| Sun | A plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant. |
| Moon | It’s in its nature to store electricity. It feels stressed now and then if it’s unable to fully discharge the electricity. |
| Ultra Sun | Its nature is to store up electricity. Forests where nests of Pikachu live are dangerous, since the trees are so often struck by lightning. |
| Ultra Moon | While sleeping, it generates electricity in the sacs in its cheeks. If it’s not getting enough sleep, it will be able to use only weak electricity. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
