Joltik Spitting electricity Galvantula
The user ensnares the foe with a thin, electrified silk that catches it and slows it down.

User	First Used In		Notes
	Sparks of yellow electricity appear in between Galvantula's mandibles and it fires it as a stream of yellow electricity into the air. As it flies through the air, the tip opens up and expands, forming into a large spider web of electricity. The web then covers over the opponent and electrocutes it.
