Ampharos (Japanese: デンリュウ, Hepburn: Denryuu) (AMF-fah-rahs) is a Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It has a Mega Evolution form which is a Electric/Dragon-type.

Biology

Physiology

Concept artwork of Ampharos.

Ampharos appears to be a tall, yellow sheep Pokémon who has black stripes on its ears, neck and tail. It has a red orb on its forehead and at the end of its tail that has the ability to glow. Ampharos has a plump white belly, the coloring of which ends at the base of its tail.

As a result of its evolution from Flaaffy, Ampharos has lost its wool.

Mega Ampharos has a more majestic look to it due to the energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its long-sleeping dragon's blood. The belly has sharp edges, its ears are also slightly longer and rounder in shape, the tip of its feet now black and its tail completely fluffy and containing several red orbs.

Behavior

Ampharos is a gentle Pokémon that spends most of its time grazing in flocks of other Ampharos and its pre-evolutions, Mareep and Flaaffy. Because its tail glows brightly, in times of emergency it uses its tail as a beacon in the place of a lighthouse. The brighter the light, the healthier the individual. On the other hand. flickering, dimly glowing lights are signals of sickness or exhaustion. In the wild, these Pokémon usually keep their tails unlit to avoid detection from enemies. Lighthouses using Ampharos are legally required to have at least 3 of them at any given time to prevent any of them from being fatigued.

Natural Abilities

Ampharos' tail can emit a glowing light which can reach outer space. In ancient times, sailors used to rely on Ampharos' bright light to send signals and apply as beacons. The light from its tail can be seen from far away.

Evolution

Ampharos is the evolved form of Flaaffy, as of level 30, and is the final evolutionary form of Mareep. It can further evolve into Mega Ampharos using the Ampharosite.

Origin

Ampharos is based on a sheep lacking wool. It also may be based on the mythical Chinese beast of the Chaofeng, described as one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon God. It is said to be the cross between a sheep and a dragon, with a thin neck, a bushy tail, lion like body, and two horns on its head, and its personality was described as adventurous, risktaking, and inquisitive. Due to its love of heights and adventure, the dragon assigned Chaofeng the duty of decorating the four corners of houses as a ward against evil spirits and disaster.

Its Mega Evolution may be based on the bighorn sheep or the ram, due to its long curly horns. It also may be based on Eastern dragons due to its long wooly mane, wooly tail, the orbs on its tail resembling pearls, and Dragon typing.

Etymology

Ampharos comes from "amp", a measure of electrical current, and "pharos", Greek for lighthouse.

Its Japanese name comes from 電気 (electricity) and 竜 (dragon), written in kanji as 電竜 (electric dragon) or 電流 (electric current).
