Voltorb (Japanese: ビリリダマ Biriridama) is an Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Electrode starting at level 30.

Biology

Physiology

Voltorb is a Pokémon that looks like a Poké Ball with a face, minus the button. It was first seen in the plant that modern Poké Balls were invented. Voltorb and its evolution, Electrode, could be forms of energy, but it is unknown where that energy came from or how it created them.

Gender differences

This Pokémon is genderless.

Special abilities

If agitated, Voltorb may explode.

Behavior

Voltorb is easily agitated, and is known to Template:M2 due to anger.

Habitat

Diet

In the anime

Voltorb first appeared in The Ninja Poké Showdown. Koga kept a bunch of these in his Gym as booby traps.

Voltorb also appeared in So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd. Team Rocket received them from the Backpack-switching thief, thinking they were Poké Balls with rare Pokémon in them, as well as their Arbok, Lickitung and Weezing. When Team Rocket found out they were not, the Voltorb started to Template:M2 in their balloon. They dumped most of the Voltorb on the thief, prompting him to quit his crime spree, but a single Voltorb sent them blasting off.

A sole Voltorb lived amongst the Electrode in The Underground Round-Up. Although Misty was terrified of it, the Template:Type2 befriended her Togepi, and the Baby Pokémon was sad when it had to leave.

A Voltorb made a small apperance in Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend. Spoink mistook it for a pearl.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Special manga

Voltorb is a Pokémon that looks just like a Poké Ball, even in its height. It debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in its own round, Danger: High Voltorb. Here, Red tries to touch one abord the S.S. Anne thinking that is only a Poké Ball, but is zapped by it.

Trivia

• Although Voltorb is an Template:Type2, it could not learn any Electric attacks via level-up until Generation III.
• Though it is said that Voltorb are often mistaken for Poké Balls, Voltorb is over one foot in height, far larger than any Poké Ball. Also, in Generation I, they were colored yellow while regular Poké Balls have always been depicted to be red.

Origin

It seems to be based upon the concept of a living Poké Ball.

Name origin

Voltorb's name seems to be a combination of volt and orb. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of びりびり biribiri, like an electric shock, and 玉 tama, orb.

In other languages

• German: Voltobal - Likely from volt and ball.
• French: Voltorbe
• Korean: 찌리리공 Ssiririgong
