Volbeat (Japanese: バルビート Barubeat) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Volbeat slightly resembles a firefly in appearance. His body, wings, and face are blue, and his body has two yellow stripes. His back (or possibly shell) as well as his arms and legs are black. His long, curly antennae are yellow with black stripes. The irises of his eyes are yellow, and his face seems to display a sad or forlorn expression. Possibly Volbeat's most important part is his glowing yellow tail, which it uses to communicate, draw patterns in the night sky, and use its move Tail Glow.
Gender differences
Volbeat is a male-only species. For the female counterpart, see Illumise.
Special abilities
Volbeat are able to use their tail to emit a light that boosts their special attack power. They can also create geometric shapes with the light when several of them get into a group.

Trivia
- Volbeat is, so far, the only Pokémon that can learn Flash by leveling up.
- It is also the only non-Template:Type2 Pokémon with Illuminate as one of its abilities.
- Volbeat shares the same species name with its female counterpart Illumise. They are both known as Firefly Pokémon.
- Despite being the Firefly Pokémon, it can be found all day in Diamond and Pearl, unlike real fireflies who are nocturnal.
- Volbeat, along with Illumise, was thought to have been the first Bug/Electric type Pokémon, according to a Nintendo Power issue released before Ruby and Sapphire. However, this was later proved false.
Origin
Volbeat appears to be based on a firefly and a greaser, due to how it holds up its head fringe like a leather jacket.
Name origin
Volbeat's name is a combination of volt, referring to its electrical powers, and beetle or beat. Its Japanese name is a possible combination of バルブ barubu, meaning bulb, and beetle
