Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Red / BlueWhen several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.
YellowIt keeps its tail raised to monitor its surroundings. If you yank its tail, it will try to bite you.
GoldThis intelligent POKéMON roasts hard BERRIES with electricity to make them tender enough to eat.
SilverIt raises its tail to check its sur­ roundings. The tail is sometimes struck by light­ ning in this pose.
CrystalWhen it is anger­ ed, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks.
RubyWhenever 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.
SapphireThis 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.
EmeraldIt 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 / YIt has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs.
LeafGreenWhen several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity can build and cause lightning storms.
DiamondIt lives in forests with others. It stores electricity in the pouches on its cheeks.
PearlIf it looses crackling power from the electric pouches on its cheeks, it is being wary.
PlatinumIt occasionally uses an electric shock to recharge a fellow PIKACHU that is in a weakened state.
HeartGoldThis intelligent Pokémon roasts hard berries with electricity to make them tender enough to eat.
SoulSilver / XIt raises its tail to check its surroundings. The tail is sometimes struck by lightning in this pose.
Black / White / Black 2 / White 2It occasionally uses an electric shock to recharge a fellow Pikachu that is in a weakened state.
Omega RubyWhenever 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 SapphireThis 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.
SunA plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant.
MoonIt’s in its nature to store electricity. It feels stressed now and then if it’s unable to fully discharge the electricity.
Ultra SunIts nature is to store up electricity. Forests where nests of Pikachu live are dangerous, since the trees are so often struck by lightning.
Ultra MoonWhile 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.
