Ampharos, the Light Pokémon, is a beloved Electric-type introduced in Generation II, hailing from the Johto region. It is the final evolution of Mareep, evolving from Flaaffy, and is instantly recognizable by its vibrant yellow fleece and the glowing red orb at the tip of its tail. Ampharos typically inhabits grasslands and open fields, often found near power plants or areas with high electrical activity. Its diet primarily consists of plant matter, though it is known to absorb static electricity from its surroundings. Ampharos are known for their gentle and loyal nature, often acting as beacons for lost travelers or ships at sea, thanks to the powerful light emitted from their tails. In the games, Ampharos is a reliable special attacker with decent bulk, making it a valuable team member. In the anime, its role as a lighthouse keeper in the Olivine City Lighthouse, under the care of Jasmine, solidified its iconic status and showcased its helpful disposition. Its unique ability to generate light has given it a special place in Pokémon lore, symbolizing guidance and safety.
