CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Eelektross sometimes leaves the water, hauling itself onto the bank with its arms to catch prey. It can then return quickly. In the water, its mouth works like a suction cup: it attaches to its target and uses its fangs to electrocute it. The Pokédex describes a predator able to move between environments, using a different hunting method according to its victim's position.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Black shows Eelektross out of the water to seize prey on the bank. Pokémon White describes its suction-cup mouth and electric fangs. Its approach therefore changes with the location but remains focused on a grip it does not easily release.
