Electabuzz (Japanese: エレブー, Hepburn: Erebuu) (ee-LECK-tuh-buzz) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is Magmar's counterpart.

Biology

Physiology

Concept artwork of Electabuzz.

Electabuzz is a type of bipedal, feline-like Pokémon with bright yellow coloring and black stripes. It has lightning bolt shaped-markings on its body and large forearms. Some of its feline properties are its long tail which resembles a tiger's and large fangs. Its two legs are short, and its feet are large with two sharp claws on either one. The more human aspects of its appearance are its long arms and five-digit hands.

Behavior

Electabuzz often gather in groups to wait for oncoming storms, and tend to race for lightning bolts to eat. They cause power outages when they feed off power plants, and such facilities often employ Ground-type Pokémon as a preventive measure due to Electabuzz's weakness to the type. Many areas actually employ Electabuzz as natural lightning rods.

Natural abilities

Most Electabuzz possess the ability Static which allows the opponent to have a one-third chance to become paralyzed when it uses a physical attack on Electabuzz. Electabuzz's body is filled with electricity which can sometimes cause accidental blackouts. It is said that its body glows whitish-blue hue when in the dark. However, it has been known to leak more electricity than it takes in. Much like Ash's Pikachu and Clemont's Dedenne, they can communicate via electricity.

Electabuzz is a master of Electric-type moves but can also use Physical and Elemental punches, such as Brick Break.

Evolution

Electabuzz is the evolved form of Elekid. Elekid evolves into Electabuzz at level 30, and its evolved form is Electivire, which it evolves into via trade with the Electirizer, Alternatively in Pokémon Legends: Arceus Being Exposed to a Electirizer, Electabuzz will evolve into Electivire.

Trivia

• Electabuzz and its pre-evolution Elekid share the same species as Zapdos, all being the Electric Pokémon.

Origin

Electabuzz is based on an Oni. Oni are often depicted as wearing tiger pelts, thus tiger features are present in Electabuzz's design. They are also occasionally worshipped as thunder gods, thus its Electric type.

Electabuzz also bears some similarities to the weartiger, a recurring monster from the Dragon Quest video game series.

Etymology

Electabuzz may come from electric and buzz (as in the buzzing sound some electrical appliances make).
