In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} came down with this illness after {{TRT}} used an electromagnet in an attempt to drain Pikachu's electricity. It appeared quite lethargic when affected, whereas a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Elekid}} from ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' did not. He was fully healed in the [[AG001|following episode]] by a giant [[Team Rocket's Mechas|mecha]] that the trio used to try and drain Pikachu's electricity, but only drained the excess energy out of him rather than what they intended. This event shows 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 {{pkmn|Trainer}}, though this may only apply to severe cases. | In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} came down with this illness after {{TRT}} used an electromagnet in an attempt to drain Pikachu's electricity.

A wild {{p|Eelektross}} also got affected from overcharge after becoming lost and frustrated in the subways of [[Lumiose City]] in [[XYS06]]. 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. | This condition is cured by discharging electricity, usually via [[move]]s, until the Pokémon's electricity level is normal. | ||

It was treated by Ash and his friends giving it food and keeping it cool until they arrived at the local [[Pokémon Center]] for more intensive treatment. The nature of the treatment was unclear, but it appeared to include the use of an oxygen mask. The recovery was quick, and no follow-up treatment was necessary. Both Meowth and Ralts became listless when affected, although it was more variable in Ralts. | ||

The only known cause of | Known to affect [[human]]s in the Pokémon world, this malady causes them to think and act like various Pokémon. The only known cause of Pokémon-itis is being exposed to a {{p|Hypno}}'s {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotic waves}}, and even then, only when the Hypno has been trained so that its Hypnosis attack specifically affects humans. It is curable by {{p|Drowzee}}'s sleep waves, as seen in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''. Adults appear to be immune to Pokémonitis, as the oldest person to be shown afflicted with it was {{an|Misty}}, despite numerous adults being in extremely close proximity of said hypnotic waves. In Japanese, this condition was called "Pokémon Gaeri", a reference to {{wp|atavistic regression|atavism}}. | ||
