Trivia

• Zeraora is the only Electric-type Mythical Pokémon.

Origin

Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from tigers and servals. Its Electric type may allude to Kanehekili, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the kamaitachi.

Name origin

Zeraora may be a combination of زر zarra (Arabic for to beam/glitter/shine, to encroach upon one's enemy) and 虎 tora (Japanese for tiger) or tora (Faroese for thunder).
