Eelektrik (Japanese : シビビール Shibibeel ) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V .
It evolves from Tynamo starting at level 39 and evolves into Eelektross when exposed to a Thunder Stone .
Biology
Eelektrik is a blue-black, eel-like Pokémon with a beige underbelly. Its round, toothy, leech-like mouth has red lips, and its eyes have small pupils with yellow circle patterning around them. Beige fins extend from above and below its head, and its body has three yellow circular electricity-generating organs on either side. It has a red tail fin that resembles a fan.
Eelektrik is a vigorous carnivore and has a good appetite. Upon spotting prey, it immediately coils around it and shocks it using its electricity-generating organs to paralyze it, before eating it. It dwells in caves and marine environments.

Trivia
Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives were designed by Yusuke Ohmura .[ 1]
Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon with no type weaknesses under normal battle conditions.
Along with Oricorio , Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon included in all three of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet 's Pokédexes .
Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives are also the only Pokémon included in all four of Generation IX 's Pokédexes.
Origin
Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives are based on eels, perhaps specifically the electric eel (actually a type of knifefish , despite the name). Eelektrik in particular was inspired by a large eel Ohmura fished from a river — the Pokémon was designed to evoke the "strong but disgusting" quality of said eel.[ 1] Their blue and yellow color scheme greatly resembles that of the ribbon eel .
Eelektrik and its evolutionary relatives may also draw inspiration from lampreys , known as 八目鰻 yatsume unagi (literally "eight-eyed eel") in Japanese. Eelektrik's four-toothed mouth may be based off of the oral disc of a lamprey, and the spots on its sides may be an allusion to a lamprey's gill slits. However, Eelektrik has two nostrils, whereas lampreys have only one.
Its Electric typing may be an allusion to bioelectrogenesis .
Name origin
Eelektrik may be a combination of eel and electric .
Shibibeel may be a combination of 痺れ shibire (numbness) or 痺鰻 shibire-unagi (electric eel), ビリビリ biribiri (onomatopoeia for an electric shock), and eel .
