Read more ↓Voltorb, the Ball Pokémon, is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known for its striking resemblance to a Poké Ball, often leading to confusion and accidental encounters for unsuspecting trainers. Voltorb has a simple evolution line, evolving into Electrode at Level 30. Native to power plants and other electrically charged environments, Voltorb is often found near sources of electricity, absorbing energy to sustain itself. Its diet consists primarily of electrical currents, which it can store and unleash in powerful bursts. Voltorb's behavior is characterized by its unpredictable nature; it can be docile one moment and then suddenly explode with a powerful shock the next, a defense mechanism against perceived threats. In the games, Voltorb often appears in areas like the Power Plant or New Mauville, and its quick speed and access to powerful Electric-type moves make it a useful addition to many teams. In the anime, Voltorb has been depicted in various roles, from mischievous pranksters to loyal companions. Its unique appearance and tendency to self-destruct have made it a memorable and somewhat iconic Pokémon, contributing to its cultural significance within the franchise as a whole.
