Electabuzz (Japanese: エレブー, HepburnErebuu) (ee-LECK-tuh-buzz[1]) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Electabuzz concept art

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.
  • 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.

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).
