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

Biology

Physiology

Electivire is a humanoid creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, and five black fingers on each of its hands. It lacks a neck, similarly to its baby form, Elekid, and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead and the same antennae as Electabuzz. There is a pattern on Electivire's back that resembles an electric outlet that would accept a plug similar to the one on Elekid's head, and it has two black tails that each have a red tip. Electivire has black feet with three toes in the front.

Trivia

Voldon's Electivire Costume

Origin

Electivire was 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 Himalaya Mountains. Unlike a gorilla, it can walk with its large bare-feet much like how an Electivire can. Its Motor Drive Ability is similar to an electric motor.

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.
