Its round, toothy, leech-like mouth has red lips, and its eyes have small pupils with yellow circle patterning around them, as well as spots.

Trivia

  • Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon, aside from Ghost/Dark types, to have no weaknesses. However, this is due to their ability, Levitate, which eliminates their sole weakness to the Ground type, and not because of type matchups.
    • They are also the only single-type Pokémon with no weaknesses.
    • However, they cannot be made invincible if given Wonder Guard, as it replaces Levitate, thus making them weak to Ground-type attacks.
  • Eelektrik is the only member of its evolution line that learns moves by leveling up. It is the only Pokémon in the second stage of a three-stage evolutionary line to have this distinction.

Origin

Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives may be based on electric eels, lampreys, jawless fish and possibly leeches. The fact that it is Electric-type may be an allusion to bioelectrogenesis.

Name origin

Eelektrik is a combination of eel and electric.

Shibibeel may be a combination of 痺れ shibire (numbness) or しびれうなぎ shibireunagi (electric eel), ビリビリ biribiri (onomatopoeia for an electric shock), and eel.
