Enter name and surname:

Electabuzz is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known for its distinctive yellow and black striped body, resembling a humanoid tiger. Electabuzz has a powerful affinity for electricity, often found near power plants where it feeds on electrical currents. Its body constantly generates and discharges electricity, causing people's hair to stand on end when they approach it. During thunderstorms, Electabuzz competes with others of its kind to reach high places likely to be struck by lightning, absorbing the electrical energy. Some towns have even used Electabuzz as a substitute for lightning rods due to their ability to safely absorb electricity.

Interestingly, Electabuzz can communicate with others of its species through electrical currents, showcasing a unique form of non-verbal communication. Research is ongoing to explore the possibility of storing lightning within Electabuzz for later use, potentially harnessing this Pokémon's electrical capacity for practical applications. In battle, Electabuzz is known to windmill its arms to boost its punches, though this technique can sometimes give opponents time to escape.
