Ampharos, the Light Pokémon, is a beloved Electric-type introduced in Generation II, originating from the Johto region.

In the games, Ampharos is a reliable Electric-type, often found in power plants or coastal areas, reflecting its electrical nature and its association with guiding ships. Its Mega Evolution, introduced in Generation VI, gives it a majestic, flowing mane and tail, further emphasizing its "Light Pokémon" designation and adding a Dragon-type to its repertoire. Ampharos has made appearances in the anime, often serving as a lighthouse keeper's companion or a protector, showcasing its benevolent nature. Its design, inspired by sheep and lighthouses, gives it a unique charm that has endeared it to fans across generations.
