Heliolisk

Heliolisk (エレザード Erezaado) is an Electric/Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI and the evolved form of Helioptile.

Helioptile evolves from Helioptile by being exposed to a Sun Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Heliolisk is a large bipedal reptilian Pokémon that resembles a frilled neck lizard. Its slender body is mainly bright yellow, with black patches on the top of its head, its frilled neck, its claws, its feet, and the tip of its tail. The tips of its neck frills are triangular and orange in color, and it has orange stripes around its legs.

Characteristics

When emitting electricity, it extends the frills on its neck, which flare up, resembling a sun-like shape. This allows it to charge itself.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon so far has same type matchup of electric/normal as Heliolisk and its pre-evolution Helioptile.
• Heliolisk and its pre-evolved form, Helioptile, are the only Pokémon with the Solar Power ability that are not Grass or Fire type.
• The satellite dish on Clemont's backpack resembles Heliolisk's head and frill.

Origin

Heliolisk is based on a combination of a frilled lizard and a basilisk lizard. The frill around its neck resembles a satellite dish and the sun. Its sun motif may come from solar power generation, the fact that many reptiles are exothermic (cannot produce their own heat) and thus tend to stay in the sun, or the fact that the sun is made of plasma (electrically charged gas).

Etymology

Heliolisk's name is directly based from the word "Helios" which means "sun" in Greek or Latinized Greek and "Basilisk," a mythical reptile or the common name for members of the genus Basilicus, which are lizards that can run on water for short distances, hence Heliolisk's ability to learn Surf.

Erezādo is a portmanteau of "electric" and "lizard." It may also come from "laser."
