Elekid (Japanese: エレキッド Elekid) is an Electric-type baby Pokémon.
It evolves into Electabuzz starting at level 30, which evolves into Electivire when traded holding an Electirizer.
Biology
Physiology
Elekid is a yellow, round-bodied Pokémon with black stripes and accentuations. Unlike its evolutions, Elekid is lacking in both a tail and toes. Elekid's arms are bulkier in proportion to its body than those of its evolved forms, and, unlike its evolutions, it has three claws instead of fingers. Like its evolutions, it has stripes on its arms, the two of which continue all the way around. Elekid has two horns on top of its head that are shaped like the prongs of a plug, even with holes in their sides, making Elekid look like a walking power plug. Elekid has a black lightning bolt marking on its chest. Two rows of stripes are near the marking on the sides of its thighs, with the pattern continuing around its lower back. Elekid’s legs are black in coloration, and its feet are rounded and toeless, somewhat resembling shoes.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Elekid can learn most of the same attacks as its evolution, Electabuzz. The only exception is that Elekid is unable to learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact.
Behavior
Elekid tend to play out in the middle of thunderstorms. Elekid rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it is only able to charge up a small amount.
Habitat
Elekid normally live in power plants.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Elekid mainly feed off electrical currents.
