[[Category:Water/Electric-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation II Pokémon]] Lanturn (Japanese: ランターン Rantaan) is a Water/Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
Appearance
Lanturn is a periwinkle Pokémon that resembles a deep sea fish. There are also spots of yellow on its tail and head. On top of Lanturns head are two glowing organs that allow it to see in its deep, aquatic habitat.
Special abilities
Lanturn, along with its pre-evolved form Chinchou, possesses the abilities Volt Absorb and Illuminate. Volt Absorb heals 1/4 of Lanturn's HP when taken damage by an electric-type attack. Illuminate increases the rate of encountering a wild Pokémon if Lanturn is placed in the first slot of your party.
Behavior
Lanturn produces a multitude of colors from its fins in order to lure and dazzle its prey. Once prey is in reach, Lanturn will release a sudden burst of light to blind its victim, then swallowing the helpless prey in one big gulp.
Evolution
Lanturn is the evolved form of Chinchou as of level 27.
