Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Sword | It feeds on seaweed, using its teeth to scrape it off rocks. Electric current flows from the tips of its spines. |
| Shield | It stores electricity in each spine. Even if one gets broken off, it still continues to emit electricity for at least three hours. |
| Scarlet | This Pokémon generates electricity when it digests food. It uses its five hard teeth to scrape seaweed off surfaces and eat it. |
| Violet | This Pokémon is so timid that even brushing against seaweed will make it discharge electricity in surprise. Its lips do not conduct electricity. |
