Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Electrike stores electricity in its long body hair. This Pokémon stimulates its leg muscles with electric charges. These jolts of power give its legs explosive acceleration performance.

Pokémon Sapphire

Electrike runs faster than the human eye can follow. The friction from running is converted into electricity, which is then stored in this Pokémon's fur.

Pokémon Emerald

It generates electricity using friction from the atmosphere. In seasons with especially arid air, its entire body blazes with violent showers of sparks.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It stores static electricity in its fur for discharging. It gives off sparks if a storm approaches.

Trivia

Origin

Electrike appears to be based on some kind of canine. It may also based on a demon of Japanese lore, the 雷獣 raijū, an elemental lighting creature that can take on the shape of various mammals.

Name origin

Electrike's name may be a combination of electric and strike. Its Japanese name, Rakurai, literally means 落雷, bolt of lightning. The French name probably comes from dynamo, as in an electrical generator, and volt, as in the unit for electrical potnetial and electromotive force.
