It looks just like a Poké Ball. It is dangerous because it may electrocute or explode on touch.
It looks just like a Poké Ball. It is dangerous because it may electrocute or explode on contact.
-
It was discovered when Poké Balls were introduced. It is said that there is some connection.
Usually found in power plants. Easily mistaken for a Poké Ball, it has zapped many people.
Voltorb was first sighted at a company that manufactures Poké Balls. The link between that sighting and the fact that this Pokémon looks very similar to a Poké Ball remains a mystery.
Voltorb is extremely sensitive—it explodes at the slightest of shocks. It is rumored that it was first created when a Poké Ball was exposed to a powerful pulse of energy.
