The electricity stored in their checks can be discharged as sparks, bolts, or in other forms. The inability to discharge electricity, sometimes due to a strong magnetic field, results in flu-like symptoms. Pikachu like to gather near places with lots of electric activity. They also raise their tails to monitor their surroundings and will bite anyone who tries to yank on the tail while in this state, although its tail is also sometimes hit by lightning while assuming this pose. | + | Pikachu feed on berries.

*Pikachu is featured in the Pokémon anime series as the main Pokémon of Ash Ketchum. Ash had been too late to get one of the normal starter Pokémon from [[Professor Oak]], so Oak simply gave Ash the Pikachu he had found in the wild. Originally Pikachu's rebellious nature was emphasized, with it refusing to enter a Pokéball. But Ash and Pikachu's bond soon grew to the point where they were like best friends, although Pikachu never entered a Pokéball and always traveled at Ash's side. Ash continues to primarily use the same Pikachu throughout the series and throughout all his adventures in various lands. Other Pikachu occasionally appear, perhaps the most notable being Sparky, a Pikachu belonging to Ash's friendly rival Ritchie. | *Pikachu is featured in the Pokémon anime series as the main Pokémon of Ash Ketchum.
