==Biology==
==Biology==
Volbeat is a firefly-like, bipedal Pokémon. Its body is black with a blue chest and abdomen. There are two yellow stripes across its front: one on its chest and one near its legs. A red band separates each limb from its body and a thicker, incomplete one surrounds its shoulders. Two simple wings extend from the band around its shoulder. It has a blue face with yellow eyes, and curly, yellow antennae with black stripes. It has a spherical yellow tail, which glows to communicate and draw geometric patterns in the sky while in a swarm. Additionally, the glow allows it to use its former [[signature move]]s, {{m|Tail Glow}} and {{m|Signal Beam}}. This is a male only species; {{p|Illumise}} is its female counterpart. Volbeat is attracted by the sweet aroma given off by Illumise. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests near clean ponds,}} but will move if the pond becomes dirty.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Volbeat Illumise M13.png|left|250px|thumb|Volbeat in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
Volbeat debuted in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]'', where one served as a sort of camp counselor and guide.
 
Five Volbeat made their main series debut in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' alongside their female counterpart {{p|Illumise}}. All of them, including one [[nickname]]d Beat, were under the ownership of [[Romeo]] and were part of a show alongside Illumise.
 
A Volbeat appeared in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', under the ownership of a man named [[Volt]], who was participating in the [[Crossgate PokéRinger]] competition.
 
Multiple Volbeat appeared in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]''. [[Edna]] mentioned how Volbeat and Illumise used to do their mating dance in a large tree that used to be located in the middle of the city. After {{an|May}} altered the present by [[time travel]]ing, it turned out that they would still do that.
 
====Minor appearances====
A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Volbeat appeared in ''[[AG091|Lessons in Lilycove]]'', where he was seen participating in the [[Lilycove City]] [[Pokémon Contest]].
 
A Volbeat appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' as one of the many local Pokémon living in [[Crown City]]. He and several other Pokémon in surrounding {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} at the park, intent on attacking him as retribution for what {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} did to the city. Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}.
 
====Pokédex entries====

==In the manga==
[[File:Amber Volbeat Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Volbeat in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Volbeat debuted in the wild in ''[[PS187|Tongue-Tied Kecleon]]'', when {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Wally}} observed a group of them dancing with wild {{p|Illumise}}.
 
{{tc|Aqua Admin}} [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]] owned two Volbeat who first appeared in ''[[PS242|Very Vexing Volbeat]]''. While one distracted [[Team Magma]] with {{m|Tail Glow}}, the other was able to steal the [[Blue Orb]] from the enemy team and deliver it to [[Archie]].

In ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', [[Edna]] mentioned how Volbeat and Illumise frequently did their mating dance rituals in a large tree that used to be located in the middle of the city.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Volbeat shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its female counterpart {{p|Illumise}}. They are both known as the Firefly Pokémon.
* Volbeat shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its female counterpart {{p|Illumise}}. They are both known as the Firefly Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon have the same dual [[Egg Group]] as Volbeat and {{p|Illumise|its counterpart}} ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Human-Like}}).
* Volbeat and its counterpart are the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
** No other Pokémon have the same dual [[Egg Group]] as Volbeat and {{p|Illumise|its counterpart}} ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Human-Like}}).
* In Generation VII, Volbeat is the only Pokémon with an illegal combination of Egg moves ({{m|Lunge}} and {{m|Dizzy Punch}}), as it is male only and has different Egg moves from its female counterpart, {{p|Illumise}}. {{p|Nidoran♂}} is in a similar situation, but it is in the Field egg group and can therefore inherit any combination of Egg moves from {{p|Smeargle}}.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Volbeat appears to be based on a {{wp|firefly}} like its counterpart, {{p|Illumise}}. Its coloring suggests that it may have been based on the subfamily {{wp|Cyphonocerinae}}. Its appearance is based on a {{wp|Greaser (subculture)|greaser}}, a subculture in the 1950s; their Japanese counterparts are the {{wp|Bōsōzoku}}. Greasers usually wore black or brown y-collared trench-coats and/or jackets with under shirts and also had heavily greased hair. This is shown in Volbeat's black colored "shirt", striped belly "under shirt" and "collar". The pose Volbeat takes in its official art may also be a reference to greasers, as they are commonly shown with their hands either holding or popping their jacket collars.
