Electabuzz

Electabuzz (エレブー, Erebu?, Eleboo), known as the Electric Pokémon, is a slightly humanoid and partly feline creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, one of which is shaped like a lightning bolt. It has a long, cat-like tail. The three toes on Electabuzz's feet are arranged like that of a bird's foot, but its hands have a human appearance, with five fingers on each hand. Electabuzz has two sharp fangs and a pair of antennae. When it is dark out, Electabuzz's entire body gives off a bluish-white glow. During thunderstorms, they compete with each other to reach heights likely to be stricken by lightning bolts. When two Electabuzz meet, they communicate their feelings by touching and controlling the electric currents. Electabuzz normally reside in power plants, as they use the electricity to feed themselves, and can sometimes wander into cities and cause major black-outs.

Electabuzz gains a pre evolved from, Elekid, in Pokémon Gold and Silver, and an evolution, Electivire, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. A promotional Electabuzz TCG card was handed out at theatrical showings of Pokémon: The First Movie.
