'''Elekid''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレキッド''' ''Elekid'') is an {{type2|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]].


It [[evolve]]s into {{p|Electabuzz}} starting at [[level]] 30, who evolves into {{p|Electivire}} via [[trade]] with a [[Electirizer]].
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Electabuzz}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Electivire}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding an [[Electirizer]].
 
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Elekid is a yellow, round-bodied {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black stripes. Elekid's arms are bulky in proportion to its body, and it has three claws instead of fingers. It has two stripes on its arms, which wrap all the way around. There are two horns on top of its head which resemble the prongs of a power plug, complete with holes in their sides. These horns glow bluish-white when Elekid is fully charged. Elekid has a black lightning bolt marking on its chest. Two rows of stripes are near the marking, with the pattern continuing around its lower back. Its legs are black, and its feet are rounded and toeless.
Elekid is a yellow, round-bodied Pokémon. Elekid is lacking in both a tail and toes. Elekid's arms are bulkier than those of its evolved form. Elekid has two horns on top of its head that are shaped like the prongs of a plug, making it look like a walking power plug.
 
Elekid tends to become restless and full-on rowdy when it hears the sound of thunderstorm coming, and likes to play out in the middle of thunderstorms. It can generate electricity by rotating its arms, but it tires easily and can only charge a small amount. Elekid cannot store the electricity it generates, so it prefers to break into the houses of humans in order to consume electricity from their electrical outlets. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands.}}
 
===Evolution===
Elekid evolves into {{p|Electabuzz}}, which evolves into {{p|Electivire}}.

==Trivia==
* Elekid's shiny and normal sprites are reversed starting from [[Generation III]].
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Electric Pokémon" is shared by Elekid, {{p|Electabuzz}}, and Kantonian {{p|Zapdos}}.
* Elekid's {{v2|Crystal}} sprite is a mirror image of its {{v2|Gold}} sprite, except with a minor alteration to eye placement.
** In Japanese, Elekid has the category でんきポケモン ''Denki Pokémon'' (Electric Pokémon), while the other two Pokémon share the category でんげきポケモン ''Dengeki Pokémon'' (Electric Shock Pokémon).
* Elekid can learn all the [[Move variations#Elemental punches|elemental punches]].
* Elekid and {{p|Magby}} can be considered counterparts. Both are [[Baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]] who evolve starting at [[Level]] 30 and whose evolved forms evolve via trading with an item containing the suffix "-izer" . Both have the same gender ratio (75% male, 25% female), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They both have similar status-inducing Abilities in {{a|Flame Body}} and {{a|Static}}, as well as the same Hidden Ability, {{a|Vital Spirit}}. They also learn [[move]]s at the same level that have equal chances of causing a [[status condition]].
* Elekid's Pokédex entries between Generations III and IV are contradictory on whether Elekid can store electrical energy in its body.
* Nintendo was concerned about making Elekid toys because children might put the prongs into a power outlet, which could electrocute the child.
*Although it has no visible tail, Elekid can learn {{m|Iron Tail}}.
 


===Origin===
===Origin===
Elekid is based on a U.S. {{wp|Domestic AC power plugs & sockets|domestic AC power plug}}.
Elekid is the baby form of {{p|Electabuzz}} and as such it is a baby {{wp|oni}}, a Japanese {{wp|ogre}}. Its antennas seem to be based on American and Japanese {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|AC power plugs}}. There's a {{wp|lightning}} symbol on its belly indicating its {{t|Electric}} abilities. Elekid's way of charging, which is spinning its arms, works like {{wp|electric generator}}, which converts mechanical energy into electric power.

Elekid (Japanese: エレキッド Elekid) is an Electric-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Electabuzz starting at level 30, which evolves into Electivire when traded while holding an Electirizer.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Elekid is a yellow, round-bodied Pokémon with black stripes. Elekid's arms are bulky in proportion to its body, and it has three claws instead of fingers. It has two stripes on its arms, which wrap all the way around. There are two horns on top of its head which resemble the prongs of a power plug, complete with holes in their sides. These horns glow bluish-white when Elekid is fully charged. Elekid has a black lightning bolt marking on its chest. Two rows of stripes are near the marking, with the pattern continuing around its lower back. Its legs are black, and its feet are rounded and toeless.

Elekid tends to become restless and full-on rowdy when it hears the sound of thunderstorm coming, and likes to play out in the middle of thunderstorms. It can generate electricity by rotating its arms, but it tires easily and can only charge a small amount. Elekid cannot store the electricity it generates, so it prefers to break into the houses of humans in order to consume electricity from their electrical outlets. It lives in the grasslands.

Evolution

Elekid evolves into Electabuzz, which evolves into Electivire.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Sun When it's in a house, electrical outlets serve as its baby bottles. It sucks down electricity.
Moon This Pokémon is constantly fighting with Togedemaru that try to steal its electricity. It's a pretty even match.
Ultra Sun When it hears the crash of thunder, Elekid's mood improves. It can be useful to record that sound and play it when Elekid's feeling down.
Ultra Moon When its horns shine a bluish white, that's the sign it's fully charged. You'll get a shocking jolt if you touch it!

Brilliant Diamond It generates electricity by whirling its arms. However, it can't store the energy it makes.

Trivia

  • In English, the category "Electric Pokémon" is shared by Elekid, Electabuzz, and Kantonian Zapdos.
    • In Japanese, Elekid has the category でんきポケモン Denki Pokémon (Electric Pokémon), while the other two Pokémon share the category でんげきポケモン Dengeki Pokémon (Electric Shock Pokémon).
  • Elekid and Magby can be considered counterparts. Both are Baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II who evolve starting at Level 30 and whose evolved forms evolve via trading with an item containing the suffix "-izer" . Both have the same gender ratio (75% male, 25% female), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They both have similar status-inducing Abilities in Flame Body and Static, as well as the same Hidden Ability, Vital Spirit. They also learn moves at the same level that have equal chances of causing a status condition.

Origin

Elekid is the baby form of Electabuzz and as such it is a baby oni, a Japanese ogre. Its antennas seem to be based on American and Japanese AC power plugs. There's a lightning symbol on its belly indicating its Electric abilities. Elekid's way of charging, which is spinning its arms, works like electric generator, which converts mechanical energy into electric power.

Name origin

Elekid may be a combination of electric or エレキ eleki (electric) and kid.
