Zebstrika (Japanese: ゼブライカ Zeburaika) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Zebstrika is a large equine Pokémon that resembles a zebra. It has a black coat with white lightning bolt-shaped stripes on its moderately fat body, a white spiky tail with a star-shaped tip, and somewhat a plump rump and thighs. Its small ears are blue inside, like Blitzle. Instead of one lightning bolt-shaped appendages on its head, it now carries two, and has a spikier mane that runs all the way down its back.

Behavior

Zebstrika is a wild, ill-tempered Pokémon that is easily angered. When enraged, it blasts powerful bolts of lightning from its mane and runs wild.

Special Abilities

Zebstrika are extremely fast runners. When they charge at full speed, the sound of thunder follows them, as they run as fast as a lightning strike.

Evolution

Zebstrika is the evolved form of Blitzle as of level 27.

Trivia

Zebstrika and Electivire are both known as the Thunderbolt Pokémon.
Both Zebstrika and Electivire have the same ability Motor Drive

Origin

Zebstrika is based on a zebra. The thickness of its thighs and hindquarters may be a visual pun on the term "thunder thighs," referring to thighs with large amounts of fat on them.

Etymology

The name of this Pokémon is probably a combination of the English words "zebra" and "strike," referring to a bolt of lightning.

Zeburaika is a portmanteau of "zebra," 雷 (rai, lightning), and "striker." The "-ebu" in its name may also come from デブ (debu, fat, as its thighs, rump, and belly are all somewhat plump).
