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

It evolves into Manectric starting at level 26.

Contents

Biology

Physiology

Electrike are small, green, dog-like Pokémon with yellow markings. They have a small pointed tail with two spikes on the side, giving the appearance of three tails. Their most distinctive feature is their large head crest.

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, which also activates one of its abilities, Static. It can also learn to wield a Flamethrower attack.

Behavior

Electrike prefers movement and agility. It is affected by weather, letting out sparks whenever a storm approaches.

Electrike in the anime

Electrike first appeared in Watt's with Wattson?. After Wattson was easily defeated by Ash Ketchum during the Gym Match, Wattson needed some time alone. During this, an Electrike came to comfort the Mauville City Gym Leader. Wattson decided to keep the electrical canine as one of his own Pokémon.

Electrike also appeared in The Electrike Company! under the ownership of Jaco. Though Jaco thought that Electrike wasn't that strong and wouldn't pass a test, Ash and friends helped Electrike control its power, resulting in it evolving into a Manectric.

An Electrike appeared in Camping It Up!.

Trivia

Electrike shares the same species name with Jolteon. They are both known as Lightning Pokémon.

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 lightning creature that can take on the shape of various mammals.

Name origin

Electrike's name may be a combination of electric and strike, or "Trike". Its Japanese name, Rakurai, literally means 落雷, bolt of lightning.

In other languages

  • French: Dynavolt - Comes from dynamo, an electrical generator, and volt, the unit for electrical potential and electromotive force.
  • German: Frizelbliz
  • Korean: 썬더라이 Thunderrai
