Lanturn (Japanese: ランターン Lantern) is a dual-type Water/Electric Pokémon.
It evolves from Chinchou starting at level 27.
Biology
Physiology
Lanturn are large blue fish-like Pokémon with a pair of small blue fins. They have a yellow "mask" over their eyes. The end of the bottom of their oddly-shaped tail is also yellow. Lanturn's yellow orbs come from a modification of its dorsal fin. These orbs contain a colony of bacteria which creates a chemical reaction that generates electricity in a similar fashion to that of a battery, and such electricity can be freely manipulated by Lanturn.
Gender differences
None.
