Description: Vaguely humanoid in shape, Electabuzz is covered in bright yellow fur with black stripes and a black lightning bolt across its chest. It has a pair of antennae atop its head and a pair of sharp fangs. In the dark, its fur glows blue because of the constant flow of electricity over its body. Electabuzz are constantly losing more electricity than they are able to consume, leading to many fights during storms over the ideal spots. During storms, Electabuzz will seek out the perfect spot to get struck by lightning so it can recharge. Seeing the color red will send Electabuzz into a rage.
