Its natural habitat typically includes power plants and other areas with strong electromagnetic fields, where it can absorb electricity to sustain itself.

Its behavior is often described as volatile; it is prone to exploding without warning, especially when agitated or startled, a trait that has become a signature characteristic in both the games and anime.

In the anime, it has been featured in various episodes, often showcasing its explosive tendencies. As an Electric-type, Voltorb is strong against Flying and Water types, but vulnerable to Ground-type attacks. Its unique design and mischievous nature have cemented its place as a memorable Pokémon in the franchise's history.
