Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
When its electric ity builds, its muscles are stimu lated, and it be comes more aggres sive than usual.
If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electri city from the atmosphere.
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.
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.
If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.
