Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | They generate electricity by spinning their arms. During a thunderstorm, if one hears the lively voices of children out in the wilderness, what one is actually hearing are the voices of Elekid. |
| Gold | It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it charges up only a little bit. |
| Silver | Even in the most vicious storm, this POKéMON plays happily if thunder rumbles in the sky. |
| Crystal | It loves violent thunder. The space between its horns flickers bluish-white when it is charging energy. |
| Platinum | A weak electric current flows between its horns. Sticking a hand there shocks the unwary. |
| Heartgold | It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it only charges up a little bit. |
| Soulsilver | Even in the most vicious storm, this Pokémon plays happily if thunder rumbles in the sky. |
| Black2 | Spinning its arms around to generate electricity makes the area between its horns shine light blue. |
| White2 | Spinning its arms around to generate electricity makes the area between its horns shine light blue. |
| Sun | When it’s in a house, electrical outlets serve as its baby bottles. It sucks down electricity. |
| Moon | This Pokémon is constantly fighting with Togedemaru that try to steal its electricity. It’s a pretty even match. |
| UltraSun | When it hears the crash of thunder, Elekid’s mood improves. It can be useful to record that sound and play it when Elekid’s feeling down. |
| UltraMoon | When its horns shine a bluish white, that’s the sign it’s fully charged. You’ll get a shocking jolt if you touch it! |
| Sword | When a storm approaches, this Pokémon gets restless. Once Elekid hears the sound of thunder, it gets full-on rowdy. |
| Shield | It’s not good at storing electricity yet. This Pokémon sneaks into people’s homes, looking for electrical outlets to eat electricity from. |
