Ampharos (Japanese: デンリュウ Denryu) is an Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Flaaffy starting at level 30. It is the final form of Mareep.
Biology
Physiology
Ampharos are tall, yellow, bipedal Pokémon with long necks. They have black stripes on their neck, ears and tail, and a white underbelly. They also have two round, red crystal-like structures; one on their heads and one on their tails. These give off huge amounts of light and electricity. Their arms resemble flippers.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Ampharos gives off so much light that it can be seen even from space. People once used the light of this Pokémon as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean.
Behavior
Ampharos is a gentle Pokémon that spends most of its time grazing in flocks of other Ampharos and its pre-evolutions Mareep and Flaaffy. Because its tail glows brightly, in times of emergency it uses its tail as a beacon in the place of a lighthouse.
Habitat
Ampharos live in grasslands.

Trivia
- Unlike most Electric-types, Ampharos has Speed as its lowest stat. It shares this trait with Luxray and Magnezone.
- Ampharos shares the same species name with Lanturn. They are both known as Light Pokémon.
- Despite all of its Pokédex entries mentioning that its tail glows as a beacon, it cannot learn the move Tail Glow.
- Along with its evolutionary relatives, Ampharos is the only electric type that can learn Power Gem.
Origin
It appears to resemble a sheep, only without the wool. Its bipedal stance resembles a kangaroo's.
Name origin
Its name is a combination of ampere, or amp, a measure of electrical current, and pharos, the Greek word for "lighthouse". Ampharos's Japanese name can be taken to mean 電流 denryū, electric current, or 電竜 denryū, electric dragon, and may include 電球 denkyū, light bulb in its name, referring to its tail.
