Trivia

The card's Pokédex entry contradicts the Pokémon the Series episode Showdown in Dark City, as well as Pocket Monster Encyclopedia. Both state that the Electabuzz species are enraged at the color red, whereas this card's Pokédex entry states that Electabuzz likes red.

Origin

Light Screen and Quick Attack are both moves in the Pokémon games that Electabuzz can learn.
