Flavor Text
Sword Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
Shield The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked.
Brilliant Diamond The electric sacs on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet.
Shining Pearl It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.
Legends: Arceus Pichu stores electricity in the sacs on its cheeks but discharges it inadvertently when agitated or excited. Being yet immature, the Pokémon’s handling of electricity is rather inept.
