Electrike (Japanese: ラクライ Rakurai) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Manectric starting at level 26.

Biology

Physiology

Electrike are small, green, dog-like Pokémon with yellow markings. Four fangs are discernible when their mouth is open, with two on the upper jaw and two on the lower. Electrike have a small pointed yellow-tipped tail, and as its hind legs have spikes on the heels, in certain positions it gives the appearance of Electrike possessing three tails. Its forelegs and chin also have spiky extensions, but their most distinctive feature would be their large head crest, which has angular lightning-like patterning on the sides, with a continuation of the yellow coloration down their snout. Electrike’s additional yellow coloration would include the stripe down its back, its half moon-shaped paw pads on its forefeet and its circular paw pads on its hind feet.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

The electricity found in Electrike's body is obtained from the friction that occurs when it runs at incredible speeds. It is stored in its fur, and can be released at the Pokémon's will. This allows it to use moves like Spark from the static electricity found in its fur. It can also learn to wield a Flamethrower attack.

Behavior

Electrike is a Pokémon with an affinity to movement and agility. It is affected by weather, letting out sparks whenever a storm approaches. Its body will also blaze with showers of sparks in seasons of especially arid air.

As Electrike stores electricity in its fur, it is advisable it brush it frequently. When grooming Electrike, one should not use a metal brush, as the metal will conduct the electrical charge in the fur and subsequently shock the handler. Like other Pokémon in the possession of Trainers, Electrike are depicted to enjoy being brushed, with the proper techniques in mind.

Habitat

They can be found near power plants or in grassy areas.
