Pokédex descriptions

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.

Shield

The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked.

Sword

Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
