Joltik is a tiny, spider-like Electric/Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is known for its ability to attach itself to larger Pokémon and humans to absorb static electricity, which it then stores in an electric pouch. Joltik's natural habitat includes urban areas and caves, where it can easily find sources of static electricity from larger creatures or even electrical outlets. Its diet primarily consists of this absorbed energy, making it a unique example of an energy parasite in the Pokémon world. Joltik evolves into Galvantula starting at level 36. In the games, Joltik is often encountered early on and is a popular choice for trainers due to its speed and special attack capabilities. Its adorable yet slightly unsettling design has made it a fan favorite, appearing in various episodes of the anime, often depicted as a mischievous but ultimately harmless creature. Its type combination gives it weaknesses to Rock and Fire, but resistances to Fighting, Grass, Steel, and Electric attacks, along with a double resistance to Flying.
