Electabuzz (Japanese: エレブー Erebuu) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Electabuzz is a type of bipedal, feline-like Pokémon with bright yellow coloring and black stripes. It has lightning bolt shapes on its body and large forearms. Some of its feline properties are its long tail 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.

Natural abilities

All 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.

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 types as a preventive measure.

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.

Appearances

Anime

One of the most notable Electabuzz anime appearances is Paul's Electabuzz. Similar to Paul's relationship with Ash, Electabuzz is a rival to Ash's Pikachu and as well as his Infernape.

Dr. Namba has an Electabuzz which he used to fight Ash's Pikachu and Ritchie's Sparky.

Trivia

  • Electabuzz and its pre-evolution Elekid share the same species as Zapdos, all being the Electric Pokémon.
  • Electabuzz and Magmar can be seen as counterparts. Both are Pokémon from the first generation, both of their pre-evolved forms, Magby and Elekid, were introduced in Generation II, and both evolve into Magmar and Electabuzz at level 30. Their evolved forms, Magmortar and Electivire, were also introduced in Generation IV and evolve by holding an item that ends in -rizer and trading them. They also have abilities that inflict a status condition upon contact (Static and Flame Body) and Vital Spirit is their hidden ability. They both learn Cross Chop and Follow Me when purified in XD, and since Generation V their movesets are near identical.
    • Jynx can be seen as a slight parallel to the two except it does not evolve into any other Pokémon.
  • Electabuzz's Stadium model has 6 fingers, which has led to fans speculating if Electabuzz killed Inigo Montoya's father.

Origin

Electabuzz may be based on an Oni, specifically the ones who wear tiger pelts and are worshipped as thunder gods; a good example is Gilgaros from Yo-kai Watch (who is an Oni, has electric elemental attacks, wears a pelt and is described as the strongest Oni).

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).
