Trivia[]
- Despite being a firefly, he is found all day in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, while real fireflies are nocturnal.
- Volbeat has the same name as a Danish metal band. The similarity, however, is only coincidental, as the lead singer for the band named it after an album called Vol.Beat (short for volume and beat).
- Volbeat and Illumise are both known as the Firefly Pokémon.
- Volbeat and Watchog are the only non-Water type Pokémon with Illuminate as their ability.
Origin[]
Volbeat is based on a firefly. It also shares similarities to greasers, a style that commonly involved greased hair and black collared jackets appearance-wise. Volbeat's curled antennae may reference the stylized or greased hair while its black coloration and neck collar resemble the jackets. This style as well as it being a male-only Pokémon line up with Illumise, who is a female-only Pokémon and has a more women-inspired style.
Etymology[]
Volbeat may come from volt and beat.
