'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Electrode}} starting at [[level]] 30.

===Physiology===
Voltorb is a spherical Pokémon that resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}} with eyes and minus the button. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse. This is supported by the fact that its components do not occur naturally. Voltorb is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} and other areas with electric fields. It was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. It has a volatile temperament and will explode if bumped or agitated.
Voltorb is a Pokémon that looks like a [[Poké Ball]] with a face, minus the button. It was first seen in the plant that modern Poké Balls were invented. Voltorb and its evolution, {{p|Electrode}}, could be forms of energy, but it is unknown where that energy came from or how it created them.
 
====Gender differences====
==In the anime==
This Pokémon is genderless.
===In the main series===
[[File:Hoopa Voltorb.png|250px|left|thumb|Voltorb in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
Voltorb debuted in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. [[Koga]] kept a bunch of them in [[Fuchsia Gym|his Gym]] as booby traps. They were later targeted in one of {{TRT}}'s schemes.
 
Multiple Voltorb appeared in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. Team Rocket received them from {{OBP|Keith|EP049}}, thinking they were {{i|Poké Ball}}s with rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} hidden inside them, as well as their {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}, and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. When Team Rocket found out they were not, the Voltorb started to explode in their balloon. They dumped most of the Voltorb on the thief, prompting him to quit his crime spree, but a single Voltorb sent them blasting off.
 
A Voltorb lived amongst Electrode in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]''. Although {{an|Misty}} was terrified of it, the {{type|Electric}} befriended her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, and the [[baby Pokémon]] was sad when it had to leave.


====Special abilities====
Three Voltorb appeared in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', where they were rolling down a hill before they were caught by [[Ash's Kingler]]. However, they shocked and injured it in the process.
If agitated, Voltorb may explode.


===Behavior===
[[Wattson]] used a Voltorb in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}} in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. It was easily defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}, who had become super-charged during an incident at the [[Mauville Gym]]. Multiple {{pkmn2|wild}} Voltorb also appeared later on in the episode.
Voltorb is easily agitated, and is known to {{m2|Selfdestruct|self-destruct}} due to anger.


===Habitat===
Multiple Voltorb appeared in ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend]]'', where they attacked {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Buck]] as they searched for [[Dandelion Island]]'s treasure.
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]


===Diet===
A Voltorb appeared in the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|Ball Pickup}}''. It was thrown at Ash as part of a prank by {{an|Hoopa}}, but it then attacks the both of them, as well as {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}}, with {{m|Self-Destruct}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Although Voltorb is an {{type2|Electric}}, they could not learn any Electric attacks via level up until [[Generation III]].
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper, and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the player to lose [[coin]]s when flipped.
* Though it is said that Voltorb are often mistaken for Poké Balls, Voltorb is over one foot in height, far larger than any Poké Ball. Also, in [[Generation I]], they were colored yellow while regular Poké Balls have always been depicted to be red.
* Voltorb has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* In the video games, most items found on the ground look like [[Poké Ball]]s. However, sometimes they can be a Voltorb or {{p|Electrode}}, making them analogous to Mimic monsters found in other RPGs.
* According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], Voltorb is the only Pokémon recommended for the [[Pokéathlon|Disc Catch]] that is not a {{t|Flying}} type.
* Its sprites from {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold|s}} and {{v2|Crystal}} appear to be revamps of its {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprites.


===Origin===
===Origin===
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living [[Poké Ball]].
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}} (with its {{Shiny}} coloration possibly being based on a [[Great Ball]]). The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle.
 
The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.
 
Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a bomb. Its unpredictable tendency to explode, as well as its shape and name, may be a reference to {{wp|ball lightning}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Voltorb's name seems to be a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of びりびり ''biribiri'', like an electric shock, and 玉 ''tama'', orb.
Voltorb is a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.
 
Biriridama may be a combination of ビリビリ ''biribiri'' (sound of electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).
