Electivire (Japanese: エレキブル Elekible) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Electabuzz when traded holding an Electirizer. It is the final form of Elekid.

Biology

Electivire is a large, humanoid creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes. It appears to lack a neck and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead, and a pair of antennae with bulbous tips. A pattern on Electivire's back resembles an electric outlet. The fur on its cheeks and shoulders is spiky and ruffled. It has two black tails with red rounded ends, resembling open electrical wires. Electivire has black feet with three, clawed toes, and five black fingers on each of its hands.

Electivire is said to have the best electrical-energy output of all Electric-type Pokémon. Electivire is known to be recklessly careless regarding enemy attacks. The tips of its tails generate electricity, which shock opponents on contact with over 20,000 volts. It can also electrify its punches by gripping on to its tails. Blue sparks fly between its antennae as its electric charge amplifies. It thumps its chest when excited, causing thunder and sparks to fly around it. The voltage it makes can increase when it is battling. The amount of electric energy it can produce depends on Electivire's pulse. Electivire usually feeds off electric currents. In the anime, Electivire has been seen eating fruits from trees. A single Electivire is capable of powering a large city for an entire year.

Trivia

Voldon's Electivire Costume

• Electivire shares its category with Zebstrika. They are both known as the Thunderbolt Pokémon.
• Electivire, along with Magmortar, Gliscor, and Tangrowth, are the only Generation IV Pokémon that explicitly required the use of a Generation III game in order to be available until the release of Pokémon Platinum. In this case, both the Electirizer and Elekid are only available through dual-slot mode with Pokémon FireRed.
  • This excludes the special Electivire available through Battle Revolution.
• An Electivire Costume is worn by Voldon in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
• Electivire was the only Generation IV Pokémon in the anime that debuted before Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl without debuting in a movie first.

Origin

Electivire is likely based on a gorilla due to it being two-legged and its hairy features. It may also be based on a Yeti, an ape-like cryptid that was said to inhabit the Himalayas. Unlike a gorilla, it can easily walk on two legs. Its design and Motor Drive Ability are similar to an electric motor, while the mark on its back resembles a socket. Its horns may be based on Tesla coils.

Name origin

Electivire is a combination of electric or electricity and wire (referring to its cord-like tails). It may also derive from live wire, a wire in which electric current flows.

Elekible may be a combination of electric or electricity and cable.
