'''Joltik''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バチュル''' ''Bachuru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Galvantula}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
==Biology==
[[File:Sylvester Joltik size.png|thumb|200px|left|Joltik's size compared to a {{p|Beartic}}. Joltik is next to Beartic's underarm.]]
Joltik is a tiny arachnid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has four legs tipped with blue, conical feet. Its ovoid body is completely covered in yellow fur, with notable tufts sticking out on each side of its face, just over each eye, and its lower back. Joltik has four blue eyes. The two larger eyes are set relatively far apart on its face, containing black pupils. The two smaller {{wp|simple eye}}s are situated between the first pair, slightly higher up on its face. Joltik's mandibles point downward and reside at the bottom of its face, where they closely resemble tufts of hair. It is capable of [[a:File:Glimwood Tangle Joltik.png|producing silk]] from these mandibles, enabling it to hang from trees.
===Physiology===
Joltik are yellow, furry mite-like Pokémon, and are small, being the smallest known Pokémon. They have blue eyes, two of which are {{wp|Ocellus#Ocelli|occeli}}. They have two face-down points for a mouth, and their four limbs are tipped with blue.


====Gender differences====
At 4 inches (0.1 meters) tall, Joltik is one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest Pokémon]] in existence. In fact, it is too small to generate its own electricity, so it attaches itself to larger Pokémon and feeds off their static electricity. More than often it prefers sticking on {{p|Yamper}}'s hindquarters. It will also make its way into houses and feed off electricity in electrical sockets. All of the energy it absorbs it stores in an electric pouch on its body. As seen [[BW028|in the anime]], Joltik is not especially aggressive, [[BW028|but will defend itself if bothered]]. It has [[BW062|been demonstrated]] that if Joltik is unable to find a source of energy, it will be unable to move and in serious danger. Joltik mainly lives in caves and cities with electricity.  
None.


===Special abilities===
<gallery>
Joltik and {{p|Galvantula}} are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Electroweb}}.

===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Joltik cling to larger Pokémon, sucking up static electricity and storing it in a special pouch. Some Joltik also suck up electricity from household plug sockets.
Joltik evolves into {{p|Galvantula}}.


===Habitat===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
Joltik commonly live in [[cave]]s and near Galvantula. Joltik have also been known to live in cities.

===Major appearances===
|no2=0596
Many Joltik appeared in [[BW062]]. They and {{p|Galvantula}} stole electricity from Pokémon and objects to feed on because the rocks in the [[Chargestone Cave]] that they normally fed on were being stolen by {{TRT}}.

===Minor appearances===
|type2-2=Electric}}</div>
Joltik first appeared in ''[[BW028|Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!]]'', where a wild Joltik was accidentally mistaken as [[Ash's Oshawott]]'s missing [[scalchop]] when he put it on his stomach. The angry Joltik then shocks Oshawott until it was knocked off.
 
{{un|Sylvester}} owns a Joltik that he used to battle [[Georgia]] in ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' during the [[Club Battle]], but they lost.

Its Pokédex entry states that it latches onto to larger Pokémon to drain the static electricity off them, so it may be based on a {{wp|tick}}, though its size seems to imply it is based on a {{wp|mite}}. Like its evolution, it is also based on a {{wp|tarantula}}, or a {{wp|jumping spider}}.

Joltik (Japanese: バチュル Bachuru) is a dual-type Bug/Electric Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Galvantula starting at level 36.

Biology

Joltik is a tiny arachnid Pokémon. It has four legs tipped with blue, conical feet. Its ovoid body is completely covered in yellow fur, with notable tufts sticking out on each side of its face, just over each eye, and its lower back. Joltik has four blue eyes. The two larger eyes are set relatively far apart on its face, containing black pupils. The two smaller simple eyes are situated between the first pair, slightly higher up on its face. Joltik's mandibles point downward and reside at the bottom of its face, where they closely resemble tufts of hair. It is capable of producing silk from these mandibles, enabling it to hang from trees.

At 4 inches (0.1 meters) tall, Joltik is one of the shortest Pokémon in existence. In fact, it is too small to generate its own electricity, so it attaches itself to larger Pokémon and feeds off their static electricity. More than often it prefers sticking on Yamper's hindquarters. It will also make its way into houses and feed off electricity in electrical sockets. All of the energy it absorbs it stores in an electric pouch on its body. As seen in the anime, Joltik is not especially aggressive, but will defend itself if bothered. It has been demonstrated that if Joltik is unable to find a source of energy, it will be unable to move and in serious danger. Joltik mainly lives in caves and cities with electricity.

Evolution

Joltik evolves into Galvantula.

Trivia

Origin

Joltik's name, appearance, and its Pokédex entries stating that it latches onto larger Pokémon to drain their static electricity, all suggest that it may be based on a tick. It may also be based on a jumping spider or, like its evolved form, a tarantula.

Name origin

Joltik may be a combination of jolt and tick (a parasitic arachnid).

Bachuru may be a combination of バチバチ bachibachi (onomatopoeia for electric crackling) and タランチュラ taranchura (tarantula). It may also involve bug and 虫 chū (bug).
