|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | The tissue on the surface of its body is curiously similar in composition to an Apricorn. When irritated, this Pokémon lets loose an electric current equal to 20 lightning bolts. |
| Red | It stores electric energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation. |
| Blue | It stores electric energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation. |
