Lt Surges VoltorbGym Heroes #84 Pokémon Card

Voltorb is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, known for its striking resemblance to a Poké Ball. Often found in power plants and other electric facilities, Voltorb is believed to have originated from a Poké Ball that was exposed to an energy pulse, giving it life. Its diet, if it can be said to have one, primarily consists of absorbing electricity. Voltorb is notorious for its volatile nature and tendency to explode without warning, a behavior that makes it both dangerous and intriguing. It evolves into Electrode starting at level 30. In the games, Voltorb and Electrode often serve as obstacles or puzzles, particularly in areas like the Power Plant. In the anime, they are frequently depicted in comical situations due to their explosive tendencies. Culturally, Voltorb embodies the unpredictable and powerful nature of electricity within the Pokémon world, often appearing in merchandise and media as a recognizable symbol of the franchise's early days. Its simple yet iconic design has cemented its place as a memorable first-generation Pokémon.
