Trivia

• Each of Zeburaika's abilities give it an immunity to a certain type.

Origin

Zeburaika appears to be based on a Zebra. It may also be based on two of Helios's steeds that pulled his chariot, Bronte and Sterope, who are known to humans as thunder and lightning, respectively; Zeburaika's species is the "Thunder and Lightning Pokémon".

Name origin

Its name is likely a combination of zebra and 雷火 raika, flash of lightning. It's English name could possibly be Zebreaker, combining Zebra & breaker (a breaker is an elecrical system component).
