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.
It has electric sacs in its cheeks. When they’re fully charged, Pichu plays very energetically.
It still can’t use electricity well. When it’s surprised or excited, it discharges electricity unintentionally.
Despite this Pokémon’s cute appearance, those who want to live with one should prepare to be on the receiving end of its electric jolts.
It is not yet skilled at controlling electricity. If you take your eyes off it, it may shock itself.
The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked.
