===Electrical overcharging===
===Electrical overcharging===
This condition is known to affect {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, although {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton|its}} {{p|Magnezone|evolutions}} 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 ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'', {{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. A Pikachu that has an electric overcharge usually becomes red-eyed, aggressive, and dangerous toward its Trainer, though this may only apply to severe cases. [[Dawn's Pachirisu]] got an electric overcharge in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. Pachirisu got rid of it with an [[Oran Berry]] and attacking {{TRT}}.

[[Dawn's Pachirisu]] got an electric overcharge in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', where it was able to get rid of it with an [[Oran Berry]] and attacking {{TRT}}. A wild {{p|Eelektross}} also got affected from overcharge after becoming lost and frustrated in the subways of [[Lumiose City]] in [[SS037]]. It was calmed down by {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}'s {{m|Nuzzle}} which helped it discharge its electricity.


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