Electabuzz (Japanese: エレブー, Erebū) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Elekid starting at level 30 and evolves into Electivire when traded while holding an Electirizer. Electabuzz is a humanoid Pokémon with feline traits, characterized by its yellow fur with black stripes, bulbous antennae, and a V-shaped marking on its forehead. It possesses large forearms and prominent fangs. Electabuzz is known for its ability to absorb electricity, often gathering during storms to compete for lightning strikes, and sometimes causing blackouts by feeding on power plant energy. In the anime, it's depicted as being enraged by the color red. Electabuzz is also utilized as an alternative to lightning rods.
Electabuzz has appeared in multiple Pokémon games and featured in special events in Pokémon Go. It's often considered a rival to Magmar, a Fire-type Pokémon, due to shared aspects and release timing. It has a distinctive cry, different from many other Pokémon, often described as a buzzing sound, and not a simple repetition of its name.
