Electabuzz (Japanese: エレブー Eleboo) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Elekid starting at level 30 and evolves into Electivire when traded holding an Electirizer.

Biology

Electabuzz is a slightly humanoid creature with a few feline traits. It is covered in yellow fur with black stripes; a large stripe on its chest is shaped like a lightning bolt. It has a long tail. There are three, clawed toes on each of its feet, two in front and one in back, while it has five fingers on each hand. Electabuzz has two sharp fangs and a pair of antennae with bulbous ends.

In the dark, Electabuzz will glow light-blue, with the electrical charge stored inside of its body over long periods of time. It is constantly leaking more electricity than it consumes. During torrential thunderstorms, Electabuzz will compete to find locations likely to be struck by lightning in order to absorb the electric power. Electabuzz are often used as an alternative to lightning rods because it is unharmed by the absorption of electricity.

As demonstrated in the anime, Electabuzz is sent into a rage by the color red. In battle, Electabuzz windmills its arms, apparently to add momentum to its punches. This method of battle seems ineffective, as opponents can escape in the meantime. It is also capable of entirely nonverbal communication via electrical currents when in close proximity to another of its species. Electabuzz typically resides near power plants and can cause blackouts in cities, though it can also be found in grasslands.

Trivia

Note its fingers

• Electabuzz and its pre-evolution share their category name with Zapdos. They are all known as the Electric Pokémon.
• Magmar and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an item which has a name that ends with the suffix "-izer"), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They both have similar status-inducing Abilities in Flame Body and Static, as well as the same Hidden Ability, Vital Spirit. Since Generation V, they also often learn similar moves at the same level. They even have the same special moves when purified in Pokémon XD: Follow Me and Cross Chop. Their pre-evolutions and evolutions were released in the same generation (Generation II and IV).
• Electabuzz is the only member of its family not to have some physical relation to an AC power unit. Elekid's head is shaped like a power plug while Electivire's back pattern looks like a power socket.
• Electabuzz is depicted with six fingers (five fingers and one thumb) on both of its hands in Pokémon Stadium.

Origin

Electabuzz is likely based on the Japanese oni that was a horned ogre that wore tiger skin and was sometimes depicted as a god of lightning and thunder. Its tail looks like that of a tiger.

Name origin

Electabuzz is a combination of electric and buzz (possibly referring to the humming sound of electricity).

Eleboo may be a combination of electric and ブンブン bunbun (buzz).
