Electrike (Japanese: ラクライ Rakurai) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Manectric starting at level 26.

Biology

Electrike is a green, canine Pokémon with yellow markings. It has a large head crest with angular, lightning-like markings on the side. Its snout has a yellow blaze, and four fangs are discernible when its mouth is open. It has a yellow stripe down its back. Each of its four legs has a spike, with the ones on its hind legs being longer. It has yellow crescent-shaped paw pads on its front feet, while the pads on its hind feet are circular. It has a small, pointed, yellow-tipped tail.

Using the electric charge found in its fur, Electrike stimulates its leg muscles and runs faster than the human eye can follow. It uses friction from the atmosphere to generate electricity. Because of this, its body gives off showers of sparks in seasons with arid air or before a storm. As shown in the anime, using metal brushes to groom the Electrike will cause the metal to conduct the electrical charge in the fur and subsequently shock the handler. It lives in grasslands and savannas.

Major appearances

Wattson's Electrike

Electrike made its main series debut in Watt's with Wattson?. After Wattson was easily defeated by Ash during their Gym battle, Wattson needed some time alone. During this, an Electrike came to comfort the Mauville City Gym Leader. Wattson decided to keep it as one of his own Pokémon. It later evolved into Manectric in Manectric Charge.

Other

In The Electrike Company!, though Jaco thought that his Electrike wasn't that strong and wouldn't pass a test, Ash and friends helped Electrike control its power, resulting in it evolving into a Manectric.

In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, five Electrike were used by Damos, who was under Hypnosis, to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Electrike again to attack Arceus.

Main article: Wattson's Electrike

Main article: Élec

In Plugging Past Electrike I, Wattson owned an Electrike, which later evolved into a Manectric.

An Electrike, nicknamed Rikelec (Japanese: ライガン Raigan), under the ownership of Chance (Japanese: ノブヒロ Nobuhiro), appeared while Ruby was participating in a Pokémon Contest in Tripped Up by Torkoal.

In Pangoro Poses a Problem, multiple Electrike were among the Electric-type Pokémon that charged the Prism Tower during a blackout.

One of these Electrike that supplied power to the Prism Tower witnessed X activate a Mega Evolution during a battle inside the Tower itself. He then followed X's group and evolved into a Manectric shortly before joining X's team, being named Élec.
