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 self-destruct due to anger.
Habitat
Diet

In the anime
The picture used in this section is unsatisfactory. Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions. Reason: Not specified |
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 explode 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.
Voltorb is one of the Electric-type Pokémon that was seen in the lake with crystal in As Clear As Crystal.
A Voltorb was used by one of the students of the Pokémon Trainer's School in Gonna Rule The School!.
A Voltorb made a small apperance in Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend. Spoink mistook it for a pearl.

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.
- Its Gold and Crystal sprites are recolored versions of its Red and Blue sprite.
- Voltorb and its evolved form Electrode are the only Electric Types to learn Charge Beam by level-up.
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.
