Electivire, the Thunderbolt Pokémon, is a powerful Electric-type creature introduced in Generation IV as an evolution of Electabuzz. It evolves when Electabuzz is traded while holding an Electirizer. Known for its immense electrical power, Electivire can generate over 20,000 volts of electricity, which it discharges from the tips of its two tails. This raw power is often used to incapacitate foes or to generate electricity for power plants. In the anime, Paul, Ash's rival, notably uses an Electivire, showcasing its formidable strength and strategic combat abilities, often employing its tails to grab opponents and deliver devastating electric shocks. Its natural habitat includes power plants and areas rich in electricity, where it can absorb energy. Electivire is a pure Electric type, making it strong against Flying and Water types, while being weak to Ground types. Its design, reminiscent of an ape-like creature with electrical plugs for tails, highlights its powerful and somewhat aggressive demeanor. Its role in the games often positions it as a strong physical attacker with a high Special Attack stat, capable of learning a wide array of Electric-type moves.
