Ampharos (Japanese: デンリュウ Denryu, German: Ampharos, French: Pharamp) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold

The tail's tip shines brightly and can be seen from far away. It acts as a beacon for lost people.

Pokémon Crystal

When it gets dark, the light from its bright, shiny tail can be seen from far away on the ocean's surface.

Pokémon Emerald

It gives off so much light that it can be seen even from space. People in the old days used its light to send signals back and forth with others far away.

Name origin

An amp is a measure of electrical current. Pharos is the name of an area of Northern Egypt, where the Lighthouse of Alexandria is located. Ampharos's Japanese name can be taken to mean 電流, electric current. It may also be taken to be 電竜, electric-dragon, although this isn't a dictionary word. The French meaning seems to be a corruption of Lighthouse amp.
