Volbeat (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

'''Volbeat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バルビート''' ''Barubeat'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Biology==

Volbeat is a firefly-like, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. 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. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Tail Glow}} was its [[signature move]]. 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.
