Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
Yellow	When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
Gold	When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
Silver	If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
Crystal	If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity 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.
Emerald	If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
FireRed	Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.
LeafGreen	Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
Diamond	It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
Pearl	It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
Platinum	Its tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked.
