Card 231Ascended Heroes #231 Pokémon Card

Wattrel is a captivating Electric/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX. This seabird Pokémon is known for its ability to generate electricity by catching wind in its wings, a unique adaptation that allows it to hunt prey in the ocean. Wattrel typically inhabits coastal areas, often found soaring above the waves or diving into the water to electrocute its unsuspecting meals. Its diet primarily consists of small fish and aquatic invertebrates, which it stuns with powerful electrical discharges before consuming. Wattrel evolves into Kilowattrel, a larger and even more powerful avian Pokémon, known for its extensive migratory patterns and ability to carry its young on its back during long flights. In the games, Wattrel often serves as an early-game Flying-type option, offering good speed and special attack. Its dual typing gives it resistances to Fighting, Flying, Grass, and Steel, while making it weak to Rock and Ice. In the anime, Wattrel are often depicted as swift, agile flyers, sometimes seen assisting trainers with various tasks or participating in aerial competitions. Culturally, Wattrel symbolizes freedom and the raw power of nature, particularly the dynamic energy of coastal ecosystems.
