Revision as of 18:29, 1 July 2022 by Harryghost(talk | contribs)(→Intro: Cleaned (for readability) || I still feel that there is no need to put info about Legends:Arceus here. It is better off in the Evolution section than here, considering that evolution method is probably just a one-game thing.)
Electivire is a large, humanoid Pokémon covered in yellow fur with black stripes. It appears to lack a neck and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead, and a pair of antennae with bulbous tips. A pattern on Electivire's back resembles an electric outlet. The fur on its cheeks and shoulders is spiky and ruffled. It has two black tails with red rounded ends, resembling open electrical wires. Electivire has black feet with three, clawed toes, and five black fingers on each of its hands.
Electivire is said to have the best electrical-energy output of all Electric-type Pokémon. Electivire is known to be recklessly careless regarding enemy attacks. The tips of its tails generate electricity, which shock opponents on contact with over 20,000 volts. It can also electrify its punches by gripping on to its tails. Blue sparks fly between its antennae as its electric charge amplifies. It thumps its chest when excited, causing thunder and sparks to fly around it. The voltage it makes can increase when it is battling. The amount of electric energy it can produce depends on Electivire's pulse. Electivire usually feeds off electric currents. In the anime, Electivire has been seen eating fruits from trees. A single Electivire is capable of powering a large city for an entire year.
Electivire, the Thunderbolt Pokémon, and the evolved form of Electabuzz. When Electivire attacks, it pushes the tips of its two tails against its opponent.
Electivire, the Thunderbolt Pokémon. An Electric type. When Electivire gets excited, it beats its chest, which creates electrical sparks and the sound of thunder.
Electivire, the Thunderbolt Pokémon. An Electric type. One Electivire can produce enough energy to power every building in a large city for an entire year.
Mars of Team Galactic is shown in possession of an Electivire in Belligerent Bronzor. However, it is only present in the graphic novel releases, replacing the Luxray that occupied the role of transferring electric power needed for the completion of the Galactic Bomb.
Electivire appears on the Electric terrain of Pokémon Stadium 2.
Trophy information
"A Thunderbolt Pokémon that attacks by pressing its two tails against a foe and delivering a shock of over 20,000 volts. When hit with an Electric-type attack, it takes no damage, and its Speed increases. Electabuzz evolves into Electivire if you trade it while it's holding an Electirizer. Electivire is famed for having the strongest physical attacks of Electric-type Pokémon."
Its evolution was induced by an unusual item, and its electrical output rises along with its heart rate. From its tails, it can unleash an electric current measuring 20,000 volts.
Game locations
This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation IV.
Electivire shares its category with Zebstrika. They are both known as the Thunderbolt Pokémon.
Coincidentally, both can also have Motor Drive as their Ability.
Electivire's evolutionary family may be considered a counterpart of Magmortar's. Both evolve starting at Level 30 and whose evolved forms evolve via trading with an item containing the suffix "-izer" . Both have the same gender ratio (75% male, 25% female), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They both have similar status-inducing Abilities in Flame Body and Static, as well as the same Hidden Ability, Vital Spirit. Their evolutionary relatives were also released in the same generation (Generation I and II).
Electivire is likely based on a gorilla due to it being two-legged and its hairy features. It may also be based on a Yeti, an ape-like cryptid that was said to inhabit the Himalayas. Unlike a gorilla, it can easily walk on two legs. Its design and Motor DriveAbility are similar to an electric motor, while the mark on its back resembles a socket. Its horns may be based on Tesla coils.
Name origin
Electivire may be a combination of electric or electricity and wire (referring to its cord-like tails) or live wire.
Elekible may be a combination of electric, エレキ eleki (electric), or electricity and cable.
