Electabuzz (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Electabuzz is a slightly {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|humanoid and partly feline}} creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, one of which is shaped like a lightning bolt. It has a long, cat-like tail. The three toes on Electabuzz's feet are arranged like that of a bird's foot, while its hands have a human appearance, with five fingers on each hand. Electabuzz has two sharp fangs and a pair of antennae. In the dark, Electabuzz will glow a light blue with the electrical charge stored inside of it.

Electabuzz is capable of storing huge amounts of electrical energy inside of its body over large periods of time, and seems to be able to consume electricity in many ways, through its mouth, its antennae, and even through its fur and skin. Electabuzz are extremely irritable and aggressive Pokémon and are prone to spirited competition. During torrential thunderstorms, Electabuzz will compete with one another to determine who is capable of attaining the highest ground, as to be most likely struck by a bolt of lightning out of the sky. If struck, Electabuzz will absorb the electricity and will not be harmed. It is in this same manner that captured Electabuzz are sometimes used in small towns as an alternative to lightning rods.  

Also, as is demonstrated in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Electabuzz, captured and non-captured alike, are enraged by the color red. If one of these Pokémon sees the color red, it will become violent and raze. In battle, Electabuzz windmills its arms, apparently to add momentum to it punches. This method of battle seems ineffective, as prey has been known to escape in the meantime. Another interesting behavioral fact about this Pokémon is that all members of the species are capable of entirely nonverbal communication via electrical currents when in close proximity to one another.

Electabuzz typically reside in or around power plants, most famously the power plant on {{rt|10|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]]. They can also be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. They have been known to wander into cities and cause blackouts.
