Flavor Text

: It windmills its arms to slightly boost its punches. Foes have been known to escape in the meantime.
: Research is progressing on storing lightning in Electabuzz so this energy can be used at any time.

: Electricity runs across the surface of its body. In darkness, its entire body glows a whitish blue.
: It loves to feed on strong electricity. It occasionally appears around large power plants and so on.
: When a storm arrives, gangs of this Pokémon compete with each other to scale heights that are likely to be stricken by lightning bolts. Some towns use Electabuzz in place of lightning rods.

: Half of all sudden blackouts are caused by Electabuzz gathering at electric power plants and gobbling up electricity.
: Electricity leaks from it in amounts far greater than the amount of electricity it eats.
: Electricity permeates its body. It swings its arms round and round to charge up electricity before unleashing a punch.
: While it’s often blamed for power outages, the truth is the cause of outages is more often an error on the part of the electric company.
