Pokédex entries
When it’s in trouble, it curls up into a ball, makes its fur spikes stand on end, and then discharges electricity indiscriminately.
ShieldWith the long hairs on its back, this Pokémon takes in electricity from other electric Pokémon. It stores what it absorbs in an electric sac.
SwordIts capacity to produce electricity is somewhat limited, so it gets charged up by letting lightning strike it!
Ultra MoonWhen it’s surprised or agitated, the 14 fur spikes on its back will stand up involuntarily.
Ultra SunThe long hairs on its back act as lightning rods. The bolts of lightning it attracts are stored as energy in its electric sac.
MoonThe spiny fur on its back is normally at rest. When this Pokémon becomes agitated, its fur stands on end and stabs into its attackers.
