CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Tadbulb shakes its tail to generate electricity. It stores enough inside its body to float above the ground. When storm clouds arrive, it rises higher still. If it senses danger, its head flashes to warn allies. The Pokédex therefore gives several uses for the current it makes: movement, responding to weather and signaling a threat. Its visible glow is not merely decorative; it warns others.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Scarlet says Tadbulb flashes its head when it senses danger to alert its allies. Pokémon Violet explains its levitation through electricity stored in its body and notes that it floats higher under storm clouds.
