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 also has a black lightning bolt marking on its chest.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Elekid is able to know attacks which its evolution, Electabuzz, can learn. The only exception is that Elekid is unable to learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact.
Behavior
Elekid tend to play out in the middle of thunderstorms.
Elekid first appeared in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure and appears to be an old friend of Pikachu. The little Electric Pokémon decided to assist Pikachu and co. in finding Togepi. Elekid even stood by Pikachu's side when he was trying to prevent lightning from striking the Giant Tree.
In Reversing the Charges, an Elekid had absorbed a high amount of lightning and was electrifying every other Pokémon in sight. The AC Powerplug Pokémon calmed down and returned to its good old self after battling Ash's Pikachu.
Elekid, the Electric Pokémon. Elekid is the evolved form of Electabuzz. It generates electricity by spinning its arms. (Note: It should say pre-evolved form.)
Elekid stores electricity in its body. If it touches metal and accidentally discharges all its built-up electricity, this Pokémon begins swinging its arms in circles to recharge itself.
