Biology

Mareep is a sheep-like Pokémon. It has blue skin and a yellow woolly fleece. Mareep's wool grows at a constant rate, re-growing completely in a week after being sheared.

The fleece also generates static electricity, which causes the lightbulb on the tip of its tail to shine the more static electricity is charged. The static also doubles the volume of Mareep's wool. Due to the wool being rather soft, it is often used to make clothing, though a processor is incorporated into the clothing to remove the build-up of static. Mareep evolves into Flaaffy.

Design & origin

The concept for an electric sheep Pokémon may derive from the title of the science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Mareep's name is an anagram for the unit of electric current "ampere", as well as being a portmanteau of "Mary", the titular character from the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and "sheep".

Rubbing its fleece generates electricity. You’ll want to pet it because it’s cute, but if you use your bare hand, you’ll get a painful shock.
Ultra Moon
Clothing made from Mareep’s fleece is easily charged with static electricity, so a special process is used on it.
Ultra Sun
Mareep’s fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.
Omega Ruby · Alpha Sapphire
When cold weather increases static electricity, its wool doubles in size and the tip of its tail glows slightly.
Black 2 · White 2
Its fluffy coat swells to double when static electricity builds up. Touching it can be shocking.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · X
Its fluffy wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more energy is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.
Emerald
MAREEP’s fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail grows.

Crystal · Y
Its fleece grows continually. In the summer, the fleece is fully shed, but it grows back in a week.
Silver · FireRed · SoulSilver
