Yamper (Japanese: ワンパチ Wanpachi) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves into Boltund starting at level 25.

Biology

Yamper has a habit of being drawn towards moving things. It will chase after people, Pokémon, and even vehicles. Yamper has an organ that can conduct electricity from the base of its tail when it runs. However because Yamper cannot store the electricity it generates, occasionally sparks of electricity can be seen when it is running. In the Galar region, it is a popular choice for herding Pokémon such as Wooloo. Due to its gluttonous nature, it will only assist people in exchange for treats.
