From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Zeraora (Japanese: ゼラオラ Zeraora) is an Electric-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It is the last Pokémon in the Alola Pokédex and the National Pokédex as of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Zeraora was officially revealed on April 9, 2018 on Oha Suta.
Biology
Zeraora is a bipedal feline Pokémon that has black underfur and yellow fur on its head, forearms, chest, hips, and upper legs. Blue fur can also be seen on its forehead, chest, and whiskers. Its eyes and paw-pads are similarly blue. Black zigzagging stripes can be seen on its thighs and forearms. It has four-fingered paws, while its feet have three toes each. A long, yellow, thunderbolt-shaped ponytail extends from the back of its head, giving the appearance of an actual tail.
Zeraora can create a very powerful magnetic field through the strong electric currents generated from its paw-pads. This magnetic field can allow Zeraora to levitate and fly through the air at high speeds. It can travel as fast as a lightning strike. Unlike most Electric-type Pokémon, Zeraora does not have organs to create electricity; instead, it gathers and stores it from outside sources, then uses it as its own electric energy. Its fur is known to stand on its ends all across the body whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.[1]
Zeraora is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Plasma Fists.

Trivia
Origin
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from tigers and servals. Its Electric type may allude to Kanehekili, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the kamaitachi. Its Shiny coloration may be based on white tigers.
Name origin
Zeraora may be a combination of زر zarra (Arabic for to beam/glitter/shine, to encroach upon one's enemy) and 虎 tora (Japanese for tiger) or tora (Faroese for thunder).
