Xurkitree is a very tall [[Ultra Beast]] that resembles a vaguely humanoid mass of electrical wiring. Its "head" is a white, brightly glowing electric spark with numerous points and no visible face. Below its head is a mass of black cables for its torso and limbs; there are white bands resembling {{wp|cable tie|zip ties}} throughout its body as well. Its arms have ties where its shoulders, elbows, and wrists would be. The upper arms have two cables, while the lower have three. At the ends of its arms are copper structures that resemble hands, each with six flat "fingers". The legs have ties at the hips, knees, and ankles and are composed of four cables fused together for the whole length. The feet have four toes possessing "claws" of exposed copper; each foot has two fused toes pointing forward and two separate toes pointing backward. Finally, its tail has three ties and four cables, one of them loose in two sections. The tail ends in what resembles a three-pronged plug. It is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] Electric-type Pokémon.

Xurkitrees live in another world named [[Ultra Plant]]. Because this Ultra Beast reportedly raided a power plant, it is speculated to sustain itself with electricity. This is supported by observations that it will "plug" its limbs and tail into the ground when it is low on energy and enter a tree-like state to absorb electricity from the earth. Witnesses claim that its entire body crackles with astonishing electrical power. According to [[Wicke]] from the [[Aether Foundation]], the cables that make up its body have been noted as being made of the same material as electrical wiring, and as such are highly efficient conductors of electricity. Its body contains an organ that produces energy, and it can discharge up to 1,000,000 volts at once. In its homeworld, many have been seen unmoving, with its arms and legs stuck to the ground, similarly to trees. Xurkitrees have many different sizes, from a little bigger than a [[Human]] to the size of a mountain.

Xurkitree vary greatly in size, from a little bigger than a [[human]] to the size of a mountain. Because this Ultra Beast reportedly raided a power plant, it is speculated to sustain itself with electricity. Witnesses claim that its entire body crackles with astonishing electrical power. [[Wicke]] from the [[Aether Foundation]] describes Xurkitree's capabilities as such:
 
<blockquote>Its most distinctive feature is an organ that can generate power. This UB’s bodily makeup is highly reminiscent of electric wiring, thus enabling it to conduct electricity with great efficiency.<br>
==In the anime==
It can discharge as much as a million volts of power at a time. When it begins to run out of power, it stabs its legs and tail into the soil, entering a treelike state as it absorbs electricity from the ground.</blockquote>
===Main series===
Wicke further claims that Xurkitree, like all Ultra Beasts, stores an energy within its body similar to the aura seen around [[Totem Pokémon]].<ref>[[Wicke]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"When the UBs pass through the Ultra Wormhole, they are bathed in a great deal of this energy and likely store it within their bodies."''</ref> This energy is called [[Z-Power]]. Xurkitree and {{p|Blacephalon}} have a rivalry with each other, often completing in contests to see who can shine the brightest as depicted in ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]''.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Xurkitree appears to be based on sparking electrical wires and power-lines. The three prongs on the end of its tail resemble a power plug, while its long 'fingers' may be based on copper wiring. Its design also shares some small aspects of a tree, especially {{wp|Christmas tree}}s; its head resembles a {{wp|Moravian star}} or a {{wp|tree-topper}}, while the white bands on its limbs may be based on {{wp|Christmas lights|fairy lights}}, though they could also refer to {{wp|cable tie}}s, which are used to hold multiple cables together.

The design of Xurkitree may also be based on a visual pun of the term "{{wp|Live wire (electricity)|live wire}}"; as in "a wire carrying an electric current" and "a wire that is literally alive".
