Card 058Ascended Heroes #58 Pokémon Card

Voltorb, the Ball Pokémon, is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known for its striking resemblance to a Poké Ball, often leading to accidental encounters with unsuspecting trainers. Voltorb evolves into Electrode starting at level 30. Native to power plants and other areas with high electrical activity, Voltorb is often found floating silently or rolling around, absorbing electricity from its surroundings. Its diet primarily consists of electrical energy, which it gathers through its metallic body. In the games, Voltorb is notorious for its ability to self-destruct, a move that deals massive damage to itself and its opponent. In the anime, it is often portrayed as mischievous and prone to exploding when startled or agitated. Voltorb’s design is a clever nod to the Poké Ball, making it an iconic and memorable part of the original 151 Pokémon, representing the surprises and dangers that can be found in the Pokémon world. Its simple yet effective design has cemented its place in Pokémon lore, symbolizing the electrifying unpredictability of wild Pokémon.
