  1. When it’s in trouble, it curls up into a ball, makes its fur spikes stand on end, and then discharges electricity indiscriminately.

    Shield

  2. With the long hairs on its back, this Pokémon takes in electricity from other electric Pokémon. It stores what it absorbs in an electric sac.

    Sword

  3. Its capacity to produce electricity is somewhat limited, so it gets charged up by letting lightning strike it!

    Ultra Moon

  4. When it’s surprised or agitated, the 14 fur spikes on its back will stand up involuntarily.

    Ultra Sun

  5. The long hairs on its back act as lightning rods. The bolts of lightning it attracts are stored as energy in its electric sac.

    Moon

  6. The spiny fur on its back is normally at rest. When this Pokémon becomes agitated, its fur stands on end and stabs into its attackers.
