Electivire (Japanese: エレキブル Elekibull) is an Template:Type2 Pokémon. It is the final form in the Electabuzz evolutionary line.

Biology

Physiology

Electivire is a humanoid creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, and five black fingers on each of its hands. It lacks a neck, similarly to its baby form, Elekid, and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead and the same antennae as Electabuzz. There is a pattern on Electivire's back that resembles an electric outlet, and it has two black tails that each have a red tip. Electivire has black feet with three toes in the front.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Electivire can use attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, except that Electivire's attacks will be more powerful. However, Electivire is also capable of knowing Flamethrower, Earthquake and Rock Slide. Electrical attacks are unable to do any damage to Electivire, but they will instead stimulate its muscles so it can move faster.

Trivia

  • Despite being used to advertise Sinnoh to Ash by Gary in the anime, Electivire isn't obtainable in Sinnoh until after having beaten the Elite Four, and even then only by twice evolving a Pokémon caught via the dongle method.
  • In Pokémon Battle Revolution, it is possible to get a transferable Electivire by entering one of the following codes - depending on region and language - at the "Self-Introduction" option in the Profile menu:
    • US:
      • BA16-X4SH-E2AT
    • PAL:
      • English: tko3-9jwp-34kl
      • French: jk4i-df87-dsf9
      • Spanish: 04in-1ynj-24fv
      • German: 0f9-ud0g-ughj
      • Italian: t4oi-6j8d-sb5r.
  • The Electivire will be level 50, an Adamant male, inside a regular Poké Ball with a Magnet and will know the moves ThunderPunch, Ice Punch, Cross Chop, and Earthquake.
  • Electivire has the highest base attack stat out of all Template:Type2 Pokémon.
  • Electivire is the currently the only Template:Type2 Pokémon that can learn Earthquake.

Origin

Electivire seems to be based on a yeti. It is also very likely to be based on a gorilla. However, its Motor Drive ability which boosts speed after being struck by an electric attack by stimulating its muscles to help move faster is similar to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein which was created by electricity.

Name origin

Elekibull is believed to be combination of エレキテル erekiteru, electricity, and ブル buru, bull, or ケーブル kēburu, cable. Electivire is based off of the words electricity and wire, as in the two cord-like tails it has. Its name could have also been based off of virus, referring to computer viruses, or vampire, because its ability "feeds" off of electric attacks. Its German name, Elevoltek, comes from Elektro-, volt Technik. Its French name, Elekable, comes from électrique and câble.
