#239 Elekid

Elekid is the pre evolved form of Electabuzz. It is classed as a Baby Pokemon since the most common way of acquiring it is to hatch it from an egg.

During my stay in Goldenrod City, I noticed that whenever there was a thunderstorm, or an Electrical storm of any nature, the Elekid would come out and frolic around in the lightning strikes. The more violent the storm, the more the Elekid would enjoy themselves.

When an Elekid rotates its arms, it generates a small charge of electricity, however it cannot create a large current since it tired too quickly. A weak electrical charge passes through its 'horns' as well and if anyone was to put their hand between them, they would receive a light shock.

In the wild they live on grasslands and open expanses of land and absorb lightning as a source of energy. Although feeble in battle, a wild Elekid can be rather vicious if provoked.
