Blitzle (Japanese: シママ, Hepburn: Shimama) (BLIT-zul[1]) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Blitzle is a small quadruped equine Pokémon that resembles a young zebra. It has a mainly black coat covered in white stripes and a particularly spiky mane with a single lightning bolt-shaped cluster of hair sticking out between its small ears. Its tail is rather short for a hooved mammal. It has yellow and blue eyes and a very large black nose on its snout. Its small ears have blue insides.
Behavior[]
Blitzle can be found in small herds of roughly two dozen members on dry plains and savannas. They are especially common during thunderstorms, when large numbers of them congregate out in the open to absorb discharged electricity. The tips of the manes on their heads act as lightning rods, directing lightning to themselves and storing it for later use. Blitzle flash their manes with varying frequencies, rhythms, and intensities to communicate with others. When threatened, they can discharge large amounts of electricity at once in bright flashes of light, giving them time to dash away while foes are blinded. Blitzle have no way of generating their own electricity, however, so they rely largely on the weather to charge up. Because of this, Blitzle rarely use their electricity for anything other than communication unless the situation is absolutely dire. Scientists believe that their black bodies and white stripes help them avoid predators—when many Blitzle stand in a group, it becomes difficult to distinguish one from another due to their blending patterns.
Evolution[]
Blitzle evolves into Zebstrika at level 27.
