| Flavor Text | |||
| Ruby | CHINCHOU lets loose positive and negative electrical charges from its two antennas to make its prey faint. This POKéMON flashes its electric lights to exchange signals with others. | ||
| Sapphire | CHINCHOU's two antennas are filled with cells that generate strong electricity. This POKéMON's cells create so much electrical power, it even makes itself tingle slightly. | ||
| Emerald | When it senses danger, it discharges positive and negative electricity from its two antennae. It lives in depths beyond sunlight's reach. | ||
| FireRed | On the dark ocean floor, its only means of communication is its constantly flashing lights. | ||
| LeafGreen | It shoots positive and negative electricity between the tips of its two antennae and zaps its enemies. | ||
