Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Red / Blue | 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. |
| Gold | When its electric ity builds, its muscles are stimu lated, and it be comes more aggres sive than usual. |
| Silver / SoulSilver | 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 electri city 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. |
| FireRed | Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint. |
| LeafGreen | Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power. |
| Diamond | It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail. |
| Pearl / Y | It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size. |
| Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2 | Its tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked. |
| HeartGold / X | When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual. |
| Omega Ruby | If the electrical sacs become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon’s nest. |
| Alpha Sapphire | This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu plants its tail in the ground to discharge electricity. |
| Sun | It unleashes electric shocks that can reach 100,000 volts. When agitated, it can knock out even an Indian elephant. |
| Moon | It becomes aggressive when it has electricity stored up. At such times, even its Trainer has to take care to avoid being attacked. |
| Ultra Sun | As electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes more aggressive. One theory is that the electricity buildup is actually causing stress. |
| Ultra Moon | Because so many Trainers like the way Pikachu looks, you don’t see this Pokémon very often. |

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.
