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.

Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
