It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}.


==Biology==
Ampharos can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Ampharos''' using the [[Ampharosite]].
Ampharos is a yellow, bipedal Pokémon with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. gained smaller orbs on its forehead. The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean. Ampharos are generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.  


Through the use of a [[Mega Stone]], Ampharos can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Ampharos. As Mega Ampharos, it grows white wool at the back of its head and over its tail. Its long wooly tail has many small, red orbs attached to it. Its conical ears retain their stripes, but are now segmented with swirled tips. According to the official Pokémon website, when it increases the amount of electrical energy within itself, the red orbs on its body and wool emit a strong light.
Ampharos was officially revealed in the May 1997 issue of [[CoroCoro]], along with {{p|Donphan}} and {{p|Slowking}}.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro97-5b.html</ref>

Ampharos is a yellow, bipedal {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean. Ampharos is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, though it can also be found in farms alongside its pre-evolved forms {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, the tail light of a sleeping Ampharos can sometimes seen in the distance at night.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>The reason is due to Ampharos forgetting to turn off its tail light before going to sleep.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Ampharos, its toes turn black and it regrows white wool at the back of its head and over its tail, having its genes stimulated by Mega Evolution. This energy also awakens its long-sleeping dragon blood. Its long wooly tail has many small, red orbs attached to it. Its conical ears retain their stripes but are now segmented with swirled tips. When it increases the amount of electrical energy within itself, the red orbs on its body and wool emit a strong light.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos</ref>

===Origin===
===Origin===
Ampharos resembles a sheared {{wp|sheep}} that its evolution line leads up to as they lose wool with each evolution. It also shares traits with a {{wp|lighthouse}}, such as its height, stripes and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. It, as well as its pre-evolutions, may have been based on the title of the science fiction novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.
