Mareep (Japanese: メリープ Merriep) is an Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Flaaffy starting at level 15, who evolves into Ampharos starting at level 30.
Biology
Physiology
Mareep is based on a sheep. It has cream wool, a blue head and blue feet. Its ears and tail have a yellow and black striped pattern. Mareep has an orange sphere at the end of its tail which acts a small lightbulb. It has curly tuft of hair on its head.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Mareep's wool stores electricity, rubbing together and building a static charge, and increases in volume when it builds up with electricity. Touching the wool when the wool is charged will result in a nasty static shock. The bulb at the end of Mareep's tail glows brighter the more electricity it has.
Behavior
Mareep tend to avoid battle in the wild and have mild dispositions. Mareep's fleece grows continually, and in the summer, the fleece is fully shed, but it grows back in a week. Mareep also stores air in its soft fur, allowing it to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
Habitat
Mareep are most often found in grassy fields. Mareep are also kept on farms where their wool is used in high-quality clothing.

Trivia
- Though Mareep's primary color is stated to be white, it is mostly yellow and blue, and doesn't contain any large amount of white color.
- In addition, Mareep's colors changed twice in Generation IV. In Diamond/Pearl, it's a bright yellow-ish color. In Platinum, Mareep's hue is strangely a mix of orange and yellow. In HeartGold/SoulSilver, the colors become a bit whiter, much brighter than Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
- Its Shiny sprites maintain the same coloration throughout Generation IV.
Origin
Mareep appears to be simply based on a sheep. It is likely that its electric aspect and ability comes from how wool builds up static charges and may also be based on the golden fleece in Greek and Roman mythology. It, and its evolutions, may also have been based on the title of the science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Mareep, Flaaffy & Ampharos may also be inspired by male pattern baldness.
Name origin
Mareep's name appears to be a combination of the word Mary — as in the girl who owned a little lamb in the nursery rhyme — and sheep; Mareep is also an anagram of the word ampere, a unit of electric current.
In other languages
- German: Voltilamm - From Volt and Lamm (lamb).
- French: Wattouat - From watt and ouate (cotton wool), which are pronounced exactly the same.
- Korean: 메리프 Meripeu
- Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 咩利羊 Miē Lì Yáng - 咩 Miē is the onomatopoetic sound of sheep (Baa in English). 利 is the transliteration of "ri" in its Japanese name. 羊 means sheep.
