Biology
Flaaffy, the evolution of Mareep, evolves into Ampharos. Ampharos, a bipedal electric sheep, are primarily yellow with black stripes, with the stripes resembling rings. The orb on its tail acts like a beacon, being able to guide people using its light from far away.
This light can even be seen from space, with people using this light for various purposes, such as sending signals, as well as powering lighthouses.
Design & origin
Ampharos is likely inspired by the Pharos of Alexandria, with part of Ampharos' name also originating from the lighthouse. Its name also combines the words "pharaoh" and "ampere". Its Japanese name, Denryū, is a combination of "den" (Japanese for electricity) and "ryū" (Japanese for current and dragon).
Forms
Mega Evolution energy has stimulated Ampharos' genes so much that it has apparently awoken its "dragon's blood". The wool that it once lost has now regrown. All the red orbs on its head and tail can glow.
