This condition is known to affect {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, although {{p|Magnemite}} and its [[evolution]]s appear to be immune to it. This illness is caused by exposure to high levels of electromagnetic energy. Symptoms appear to vary, as shown by different species stricken with it. In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} came down with this illness. It appeared quite lethargic when affected, whereas a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Elekid}} from ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' did not. It also appears that there are different levels of this illness, as the first time Pikachu got it, it only had flu-like symptoms; a different time, however, it got so severe there was a threat of Pikachu exploding from the overload.  [[Dawn's Pachirisu]] gets an electric overcharge in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''.  Pachirisu got rid of it with an [[Oran Berry]] and attacking [[Team Rocket]].

This condition is cured by discharging electricity, usually via [[move]]s, until the Pokémon's electricity level is normal.
